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 have Suse 3.11 installed and installed the hypervisor. I can bring up Dom0 and use the console to add a XP SP3 VM. I have converted A XP VMware image using the XenConvert. I follow the steps: Create a VM Machine Select " I have an Image" Choose Windows >XP,2000,2003 On the summary screen: Full virtual method Name- windowsxp Hardware-512 Graphics- cirrus logic Disks ??? this is

Hi list, I have recently migrated to XCP from Vmware Server 2 and have run into issues importing the VM''s Following citrix''s guide I tried using XenCenter to do the import directly on the vmdk files this resulted in XenCenter logging this error: "Failed to import. ---> System.Exception: Failed to import virtual disk file. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm translate to the 3.3 vdisk repo. You can now translate data from one virtual disk data type to another without creating a virtual disk. This allows the user to use a vmdk file and directly translate the data into a zvol without having to import it first to a vdisk and then export it to the zvol. # vdiskadm help translate translate - translate virtual disk data

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, I''ve been touring XCP and making my way around it for the last few days, and am having problems with some reasonably straightforward actions. I''ve poured a several hours into different ways of resolving the issue, but am coming up short. Here''s the main issue. The following command (plugging in a VBD to the dom0 VM), when, run, hangs for several minutes, and then

Does the current version of XenConvert work for Open source xen too? (are the images it makes compatible?) Anyone have any experience with this?

I see that Microsoft has a utility that (apparently) can read a running system and create an image that can then be imported and run on Virtualbox. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/disk2vhd "You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on local volumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better when the VHD is on a disk different than ones being

Have an Onapp system we are migrating away from to xenserver and it uses Xen source images I believe. I had no problem moving the MS Windows servers using the xenconvert utility, but not being a linux guy the conversion process of moving files from Onapp to xenserver is not clear. I think the files on Onapp are .img files, but they don''t use extensions from what I can tell when they

Guys, I'm trying to compile the Xen 4.0.0 via debian/rules makefile but I got this: administrativo at sid01:~/xen/xen-4/xen-4.0.0$ make -f debian/rules build-tools ..... make -C lib all make[7]: Entering directory `/home/administrativo/xen/xen-4/xen-4.0.0/debian/build/build-tools/tools/blktap2/vhd/lib' make[7]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[7]: Leaving directory

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

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

Hello List, I''m using blktap on XCP 1.1 and developing a difference copy program for easy backup and remote archival. The idea is to read the BAT of VHD1 and sync it to BAT of VHD2 with BITMAP and the data blocks. Other way would be by adding a sha1 signature in each data block and comparing it with remote VHD. I tried to get some info from below programs but could not get required

Hi, I''m currently trying xen 4.1.1 with the 3.0.0-rc5 (heard that it now contains the xen code to run as front or back xen domain). Everything seems to run fine, except that I am trying since a few hours to mount a .vhd file in the dom0. What I tried so far: to create a blank vhd file (this is working): host# vhd-util create -n /storage/test.vhd -s 20G Then i try to mount the file
