Re: Qcow2 to VHD and VHD files size questions
This may apply to you. I was able to copy out a vhd from vbox and load it into ACS to use on XenServer hosts. This only worked if I selected the dynamic type of vhd not the fixed size one. It only worked in non PV mode but I think that was because I did not have a proper grub file with the correct root device. Prior to uploading the vhd as a template you can bzip2 it to shrink the size. > On Jan 18, 2014, at 1:07 PM, Nux! wrote: > > Hi, > > Most of my templates are Qcow2 files for KVM and I'd like to convert them in > a format that XenServer can use. > I managed to use qemu-img from the KVM tools to convert one in VHD format, > however this seems to be a 50 GB (the virtual size of the qcow2) sparse file. > Downloading this file from my HTTP template repo into cloudstack takes ages. > Does anyone know how this situation can be improved? > > Regards, > Lucian > > -- > Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! > > Nux! > www.nux.ro
Qcow2 to VHD and VHD files size questions
Hi, Most of my templates are Qcow2 files for KVM and I'd like to convert them in a format that XenServer can use. I managed to use qemu-img from the KVM tools to convert one in VHD format, however this seems to be a 50 GB (the virtual size of the qcow2) sparse file. Downloading this file from my HTTP template repo into cloudstack takes ages. Does anyone know how this situation can be improved?
