similar to: Migrate existing Windows XP VirtualBox VM to Xen

Hello, I?m using ZFS to export some iscsi targets for the virtual box iscsi initiator. It works ok if I try to install the guest OS manually. However, I?d like to be able to import my already prepared guest os vdi images into the iscsi devices but I can?t figure out how to do it. Each time I tried, I cannot boot. It only works if I save the manually installed guest os and re-instate the same

Hi I would like to use xen on my company laptop (DELL Latitude D830 with dual core intel cpu + 2 GB RAM) but first have to unclear some doubts about xen hypervisor. So, my company provided winxp preinstaled with some special software for my job. In addition I made dual boot with linux or opensolaris. Now I would like to be on my linux all the time with ability of using winxp all the time. :-)

My objective is also to run headless virtual machines through libvirt library. I am using an Ubuntu 10.04 distro and libvirt 0.9.2. Before asking you guys about it, I searched on the web and found this: Hi, > > thanks for your hint. > > I read the lines in the documentation, but unfortunately editing the xml > > within virsh lead to the errors. > > The Solution to a

I would like to move an existing W2K3 install onto my new super duper xen box -- Installing linux based machine is no issue, it''s the windows ones that keep getting me. I have Acronis which we usually use for bare metal restores, and it seems that bare metal restores don''t want to work too well with XEN, any assistance/help/ideas ?

hi all - thoughts or pointes to the procedure for above... rich

[stef204 sent me the full log since it contains sensitive information] The log says that virt-v2v cannot see anything at all on the 34.1 GB disk (as if the disk is blank). However I think the actual problem is that you've given the wrong disk type in the XML: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>

Hi, I am new to v2v/libguestfs. I need to convert a 30 GB virtual machine running Windows7 64 bit (a guest on a Linux system) from Virtualbox vdi format to qcow2 (or raw/img--another debate in itself) so I can use libvirt/qemu/kvm to run it and completely migrate away from Virtualbox. The vdi machine is a mission critical production environment and I cannot afford to mess it up, etc. Will keep

The current test for .vdi files is incorrect. It tries to detect the string "<<< Sun xVM VirtualBox Disk Image >>>". However this string is just free text and .vdi files often contain different strings (ref: [1]). The correct test in this patch looks for the magic number at offset 0x40 in the file (ref: [2]). Example: Upstream 'file' without the patch on an

Hi all, I have a Sun x2200 named Adra running OpenSolaris 2008.11 set up as a Dom0 per Levon''s instructions on this site. It hosts some production services and has been running nice and stable for a number of months now (with NetWare DomUs running GroupWise, believe it or not). The machine is pretty nicely speced out and there''s room for more virtualisation, so I was

Any Virtualbox on CentOS guru's out there? I only have 1 VM on my linux host. in the update process to virtualbox 6.1.16 my config was lost. When I run Virtualbox my VM does not show. So I desire to add it back. My structure is this. ls -l /home/silentm/vmware/CentOS\ 64-bit\ LSI/ -rw------- 1 silentm silentm 8684 Aug 13 08:31 CentOS 64-bit LSI.nvram -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 0 Feb 27

Hi list. I''m running Xen 4.0.1 on Debian. I''m trying to live resize a block device : - I have a arbitrary block device in my dom0 (/dev/mapper/vm-vol42). - I start a PV domain with that device as a disk (disk = [''phy:/dev/mapper/vm-vol42,xvda,w'']). - I resize vm-vol42 in the dom0 (adding size only) - the dom0 sees the device''s new size. -

I have a KVM (qemu-img raw) that I have attempted to convert to VirtualBox. I did the convertfromraw to convert to vdi. I was hoping it would be that simple but, no. When I try to boot the image, it does not boot. Is there something "extra" I need to do - or something different? Thanks, Jerry

Hi, Another thing I'm strugglin with: When creating a new domain from scratch using the proposed XML format in the documentation, everything works fine - basically. A problem that I'd like to solve now is that I would expect to be able to create new volumes within libvirt. I started with a basic XML file in order to define a pool, but virsh told me that creating pools is not supported

I'm using virtualbox with one of the tests I have for centos 6.4. I realized after creating the disk, the default was too small. I added more disk space with: VBoxManage modifyhd /Users/user/VirtualBox\ VMs/centos\ 6.x/centos\ 6.x.vdi --resize 25000 I then used this site to help me resize the lvm:

hello,I 've deployed libvirt, and it is OK to use kvm.But when I use virtualbox,I can not attach a device to a domain. It reports the error that can't get device from device.xml here is my xml file for device(device.xml): <disk type='block'> <driver name='phy'/> <source dev="/home/lb/iscsitest/vdisk.img"/>

Hi, I am new to virtualization and I am having the obvious hassle of choosing between Xen and KVM. Can Xen experts help me with this? Regards, Arindam _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Hello libvirt experts, I use libvirt (0.7.5-5ubuntu27.7) with KVM / qemu (0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.2). Some machines use raw images but same use Virtualbox images (.vdi). Since last Ubuntu 10.04 LTS update I can not start the vdi-images. The "driver name= type=" option was new. <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file'
