similar to: convert xva to img

Guys! I have one fiber channel IBM storage (10T) and 8 HP Proliant servers with 32G of RAM on each and 1 HP with 4G of RAM. My question is: * How to use the same storage (block device) with all my different virtualization servers simultaneously? I have 2 open source Xen with CentOS 5.4, 2 VMWare ESX, 2 Citrix XenServer, 2 KVM powered by Ubuntu and 1 Debian exporting the IBM storage to a SAN

I'm thinking on how to prove you a sample XVA I have to create (and populate) a VM because an empty image will result in an empty XVA And a VM is 300-400Mb as minimum Il 15 nov 2017 10:30 PM, "Max Reitz" <mreitz@redhat.com> ha scritto: > On 2017-11-15 21:41, Gandalf Corvotempesta wrote: > > 2017-11-15 21:29 GMT+01:00 Richard W.M.

I''m attempting to convert a CentOs 5.6 x64 machine from Xen (Open Source) to Citrix XenServer and I am having some trouble towards the final stages. I need to take the .XVA created by XVA.PY and use XenConvert to manipulate this into another file format (OVF). Here''s the process I use: 1. Poweroff the VM 2. Create a new disk in 3 times the size of the primary 3. Sign in to

I''m trying to follow the guide to set up Lenny 5.0 VMs on my newly installed XCP machine. Following what the wiki suggests I downloaded the lenny.xva from http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/Software/lenny.xva, saving to domain zero. (note that this file was updated March 1, 2011) When I try to import lenny.xva to my Xen Cloud Platform host using the command: xe vm-import

Hello everyone. I have the following problem that could help would appreciate. 1) Environment: HOST 1: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 with all VM in LVM disk.
