similar to: vhd to xen img file (not using xenserver)

I was wondering if someone can shed some light on why vhd files created with qemu-img don''t really work right with vhd-util and consequentially blktap in general. To validate the incompatiblity its simple enough to do qemu-img create -f vpc test.vhd 40g vhd-util snapshot -n child.vhd -p test.vhd Which will show the below and then the headers don''t display the BATMAP summary:

Hi there, I''m running several VMs within Xen, and now I''m trying to create/revert snapshots of my VMs. Along with Xen and blktap2, another utility, vhd-util is also delivered, and according to its description, i guess I can use it to create/revert VM snapshots. To create a snapshot is actually easy, I just call |vhd-util snapshot -n aSnapShot.vhd -p theVMtoBackup.vhd | But

Hi, How can I use "vhd-util" or "vhd-update"? Have someone a manual for this? A tutorial? Any help?

Add ''-C'' (nocow) option to vhd-util create. Btrfs has terrible performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files (since having copy on write for this kind of data is not useful). According to ''chattr'' manpage, NOCOW

Hi, I have a imported VM image in .raw format. I used "qemu-img convert" to convert the .raw image to a .vhd image. I changed the config file accordingly and I tried to start the VM. I am unable to bootup and I get the message that the "booting from hard disk failed" and no bootable device found. The image is not corrupt as .raw image seems to come up fine. Any suggestions on

I am a consultant needing to learn virtual machines. Using XEN Server 6 as tool. I will put real internet servers on it when stable. Been working fine till it crashed out of the blue. This problem is from a full wipe and reload. Problem: 1. Build XEN Server 6. Works fine after install reboot. 2. Reboot XEN Server. Big message "The underlying Xen xapi is not running"

Hi. I''m new to Xenserver. I have to configure high availability between two Xenservers I have attached a rough sketch. The licensing that has been purchased is for "Advanced". I want to use shared storage, where both the Xenservers use a common LUN. The virtual machines will "live" on this LUN. I want the virtual machines to be running on one Xenserver. If this

Hi, I installed two linux VMs in XenServer 6.0, one is CentOS 5.5 and the other is Ubuntu 10.04, both of which are HVMs. I install xenserver tools many times and the packages are installed, but XenCenter keeps telling me that "Xenserver tools is not installed".
