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

Hi, any link[1] that I can find for "xva.py" did not seem to be working. where it has been moved? regards Andreas [1] http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_projects.html http://www.xen.org/files/xva/README -- Andreas Rieck Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft e.V. / Zentrale Abteilung C7 Kommunikationsmanagement Schloss Birlinghoven, 53754 Sankt Augustin Phone: (+49 2241) 14-2641 Fax: (+49 2241)

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.

Hi all, I need to get NetScaler running for a load balancing project. So I''m trying to convert the xva to an image for use with Xen. I have done the following; downloaded xenmigrate.py downloaded and untarred the xva image from Citrix ran the following: python xenmigrate.py --convert=Ref\:214/ ns.img xenmigrate says that it has completed successfully however I can''t mount

Hey, Is it possible to covert a .img to a xva? I have a virtual machine on a xen machine that i would like to run in a xen cloud. I used the xva.py and it gave me a xva + kernel i followed the copy instructions but i get this: [root@box ~]# xe vm-start vm=converted Error code: WARNING: /dev/xvda is not a disk image Error parameters: Traceback (most recent call last):, File

Here's my solution, as a nbdkit plugin written in Perl. As with Max's solution I don't bother to parse the virtual size out of the XML file, so you need to specify that on the command line otherwise the disk will be truncated to the largest extent stored in the file. Also the ‘.xva’ file must not be compressed. $ nbdkit perl script=./xva-reader.pl file=./debian8cloud.xva
