In case the appliance is disabled at configure, then all the phony guests will not be built during the 'make check' time. Since the tests already handle an empty windows.vmdk fine (in case ntfs-3g is not available), then just create it empty in this case.

Hi everyone, 1. I try to boot a raw image with hda under Xen hypervisor converted by VMWARE vmdk image with scsi, but fail to boot with error message “Error loading operating system” below”. Who can give me a favor? 2. Under vSphere, create a windows XP VM with scsi storage then install a windows XP to the SCSI storage called xp.vmdk in the VM via iso file. Can successfully

Just a quick fyi... We''ve recently added support for blktap along with support for managing virtual disks (disk file images). There are some difference from a linux dom0. This is available in b101 @ http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/sol_ex_dvd_1/ This allows you to create and manage vmdk and vdi (Virtual Box) disk files. By default, virt-install will now use a vmdk vdisk when

Thanks for your response Rich. Please see the output of --trace --verbose below. Regarding your suggestion to convert the vmdk to some other format, I do not want to do it. A security consultant said by modifying certain files in our VM and restarting the VM, one can gain access to encrypted data in our VM. I want to reproduce it. I am able to mount the VM but not able to modify files since it can

Hello, I installed Xen 3.2.1 on Debian Lenny from packages. Then created image files with 'xen-create-image --size=2Gb --swap=128Mb --dhcp --dir=/xen --hostname=test'. Now I'm trying to run Debian in PV mode using the following configuration file: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686" memory = 128 name =

With VMWare (server), you can pre-allocate your image in several vmdk files. But I have not bee able to mount that in guestfs. On file (e.g. guest.vmdk) is a text file pointing to all the other files (e.g. guest-f001.vmdk, guest-f002.vmdk,...). I tried the following scenarios without success: 1- just adding the base vmdk: add_drive guest.vmdk 2- adding all the files: add_drive guest-f001.vmdk

Good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has any in site as to how to import a VMware vmdk into xVM on OpenSolaris 2009.06 (xVM 3.1). I have a VMware VM created on VMware Server 2.0 and would like to move it over to this xVM server. I appreciate any advice anyone may have. Cheers, -Chris -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hello, I'm trying to migrate from VMWare to KVM. I've got a redhat 5 (actually oracle unbreakable 5) vmware image that has two scsi vmdk files with logical volumes spanning both drives. Wether I convert them to raw files or load them as vmdk files, when I start them linux boots but fails while trying to initate the LVM. They are both mounted as scsi drives and in the correct order.

Does libvirt support snapshotting when the virtual disk comes from a vmdk file? http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Snapshots#Desired_functionality seems to say no, since it says "'virsh snapshot', which requires all disk images to be qcow2". OTOH, man virsh, http://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html, and http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks seem to indicate more

Hi, Maybe this is just a newbie question. I am trying to inspect VMware images with guestfish. I am running Fedora 15 in a VSphere VM. Once Fedora is installed I do: yum update yum install '*guestf*' Then I run guesfish on a copy of a Fedora 15 disk. guestfish -rw -I -a Fedora15-2-disk1.vmdk with the following result: libguestfs: error: unexpected end of file

Dear All, While trying to run kvm VM using vmdk disk on 6.4 , I got into the following error, error: Failed to create domain from vmdkvm.xml error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -drive file=/mnt/vmdkTOKVM/vmdkTOKVM.vmdk,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=vmdk,cache=none: 'vmdk' invalid format upon further digging I came across this thread (

Hi all, I have a RHEL6.1 qemu-kvm hypervisor running a raw image that I need for various reasons to convert to vmdk. I used this process: qemu-img convert server3.img -O vmdk server3.vmdk Then I edited the XML file (/etc/libvirt/qemu/server3.xml) like so: <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.1.3-6 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, I am trying to run the following command on a dom0 Debian server in order to mount a vmware vmdk. I don't want to use kpartx or losetup as they have poor write performance and I'm hoping blktap will provide better performance. xm block-attach 0 tap:vmdk:/mnt/backup/3MSYDDP01/3MSYDDP01_2-flat.vmdk /dev/xvda1 w 0

virt-v2v is not an option for me as all I have are the VMDK images and don't have the VMware software to covert to OVA first. I really don't understand what is going wrong. I also found https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/20511 and that still doesn't work. Both /etc/fstab and grub.conf refer to the LABEL and not any device name. In the boot process I see it explicitly says it

Good evening, I understand that NTFS & VMDK do not relate to Solaris or ZFS, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience of checking the alignment of data blocks through that stack? I have a VMware ESX 4.0 host using storage presented over NFS from ZFS filesystems (recordsize 4KB). Within virtual machine VMDK files, I have formatted NTFS filesystems, block size 4KB. Dedup is turned on.

Hi, I will try to explain my case, I hope this is rigth place to do it. My goal is migrate an Ubuntu 9.10 64bit VMWare VM from a Win2k8 64bit server to an Ubuntu 9.10 64bit server. Following some tutorials I've got a .qcow2 file from .vmdk and a .xml file from .vmx file Running virsh define/start all was fine, but VM is unaccessible: no ping, no ssh, also from hosting server. This is

Hi all, As we are doing plan for testing libguestfs, I have a question about vmdk support for libguestfs. In Fedora 12, we can successfully manage a vmdk image via guestfish(add -> run -> mkfs -> mount -> ...). But in RHEL6, for qemu-kvm can not boot with a vmdk image, libguestfs can not manage vmdk either. So is it true that vmdk is only supported by upstream libguestfs but not
