Hi,
I am trying to import qcow2 images into AWS. I am trying to restore it in
AWS by referring to https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vm-import/ article as per
the below supported file format.
[1] Open Virtualization Archive (OVA)
[2] Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK)
[3] Virtual Hard Disk (VHD/VHDX)
[4] raw
I followed the steps below and encountered a *ClientError: No valid
partitions. Not a valid volume *issue
#qemu-img convert kvmservertoaws.qcow2 kvmservertoaws.raw
aws ec2 import-image --disk-containers
Format=raw,UserBucket="{S3Bucket=dacofficelabserversimage,S3Key=kvmservertoaws.raw}"
{
"ImportTaskId": "import-ami-0da503c0a22adbb0f",
"Progress": "1",

}
}
],
"Status": "active",
"StatusMessage": "*pending*"
}
