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 "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 746, in ?, raise RuntimeError, "Unable to find partition containing kernel", RuntimeError: Unable to find partition containing kernel, Any pointers on this?

You have to convert your VM.

I did that :-) i used the following line: ~/Scripts/xcp-xva-convert/xva.py --config=xen.cfg --filename=converted.xva It gave me a couple of files and some instructions to SCP stuff, i also did that.. But still those errors while booting. On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 2:39 PM, <cluster@xinet.it> wrote:> You have to convert your VM.

Of course i did ;-) I did it correctly because the script creates the file. I''m now trying the xvda thing, i''ll let you know if it worked or not.

Hi, a small question.. I''m trying to convert a .img from a xen system to a xva for my XCP system. I did the following -> Somebody send me a local copy of the .img including all the needed files (kernel/config). I eddited the xen.conf to point to the correct locations of my files it now looks like this: # Kernel image file. kernel "/home/peter/xcp-convert/centos-5.0-x86_64-build-A/kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen" ramdisk "/home/peter/xcp-convert/centos-5.0-x86_64-build-A/kernel/boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img" # Initial memory allocation (in megabytes) for the new domain. memory = 512 #---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Define the disk devices you want the domain to have access to, and # what you want them accessible as. # Each disk entry is of the form phy:UNAME,DEV,MODE # where UNAME is the device, DEV is the device name the domain will see, # and MODE is r for read-only, w for read-write. # disk = [ ''file:/home/peter/xcp-convert/2.1-centos-5.0-x86_64-build-A/disks/disk.img,sda1,w'',''file:/home/peter/xcp-convert/centos-5.0-x86_64-build-A/disks/swap.img,sda2,w'' ] # Sets runlevel. extra = "3" # A name for your domain. All domains must have different names. name = "centos-5.0-x86_64-build-A" # Number of network interfaces. Default is 1. nics=1 Then i runned the script, at it seemed to work: ~/Scripts/xcp-xva-convert/xva.py --config=xen.cfg --filename=converted.xva After a installation, and a succesfull import (+ copy like the echo told me to) i''m not able to start it: [root@box 80edf9c0-f0c3-11df-afb8-002185fade1c]# xe vm-start vm=centos-5.0-x86_64-build-A Error code: WARNING: /dev/xvda is not a disk image Error parameters: Traceback (most recent call last):, File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 746, in ?, raise RuntimeError, "Unable to find partition containing kernel", RuntimeError: Unable to find partition containing kernel, [root@box 80edf9c0-f0c3-11df-afb8-002185fade1c]# I asked this on the normal mailing list but they pointed me to this direction.

No luck, it boots to the same point: "Waiting for driver initializing.." Then i get a short kernel panic message but the console dies to fast to see what it is.

Hi, i have the same problem.

Re: [Xen-users] Re: [XCP] converting a .img to xva
Hi there,> Hi, i have the same problem. > Did you resolve it? if Yes, how?The xva format has got a bit awkward structure. Basically it''s a tar file that contains loads of numbered files of 1M size each, or an img file cut in stripes, if you will. For example, the tar file would contain: Ref:xxx/ 00000001 00000002 00000003 .... 00001029 If one of those stripes consists entirely of zero-bytes, it won''t be included in the xva. Names are always just numeric and 8 bytes in length, padded and filled with zeros as above. I''ve only done the reverse process myself, that is converting xva into img, for about 40 VMs. What I''ve done is: - unpack tar file - go into the Ref:xxx folder (xxx is numeric, no idea how that is determined) - run this very simple script: ===============#!/bin/bash dd if =/dev/zero of=blank bs=1024 count=1k test -f image.img && rm -f image.img touch image.img max=`ls ???????? | sort | tail -n1` for i in `seq 0 $max`; do fn=`printf "%08d" $i` echo -n "$fn of $max" if [ -f "$fn" ]; then echo " - appending chunk" cat $fn >> image.img else echo " - filling blank" cat blank >> image.img fi done rm -f blank echo "Done." ============= Then I end up with an img file, which works perfectly fine with open source Xen. Maybe that can help you reverse-engineer it :-) Cheers Carsten _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Just a bit of info for you all. There is a small bug in xva.py. If your VM has a kernel/initrd loaded from Dom0, the xva that is produced will still be set to boot with pygrub. In order to fix this, blank the PV-bootloader parameter on the VM: xe vm-param-set uuid=<VM UUID> PV-bootloader="" Regards, David On 3 August 2011 14:17, Carsten from Virtastic <carsten@virtastic.com>wrote:> Hi there, > > > Hi, i have the same problem. > > Did you resolve it? if Yes, how? > > The xva format has got a bit awkward structure.
