similar to: Vhd-util resize

Hi all, I`m evaluating methods for nightly "snapshot" a physical win2003 to xcp vm. I know it would be a lot easier and reliable just to to one convert one time and start to generate real vm snapshots, but at this time I cannot use this method. I tested the sequence: disk2vdh -> xenconvert (to xcp), but a big deal of using this method is that xenconvert does not send

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

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:

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

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm import/export/convert to the 3.3 vdisk and vbox repos. You can now import a disk image from a block device or file to a vdisk, convert (in place) to a different type of vdisk and export from a vdisk to a block device or file. I''ve also pushed the full vhd support (sparse and fixed) and the ability to import a vmdk 1.1 optimized stream file. An

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

We had a XCP 1.5 pool with 2 machines as hosts. The storage pool which as NFS mounted lost its ability to export the filesystem with the VM images on it. We contacted the vendor and we were able to restore it. However, they had recommended that we delete the XCP Pool, recreate it, add the hosts back in, and then mount the storage. That is where we are at now. We can see the storage and

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.

HI, As you've known, vhd-util and qemu-img both provide the capacity for resizing the original disk, but why is virt-resize designed to involve two disks, not only original disk? Is there any concern? Is it possible that only one original disk is involved in virt-resize? -- Regards, Zhi Yong Wu
