Re: Altering systemvm templates - VirtualBox?

Use the RAW or VHD format with VirtualBox, once you're done convert the vhd to 
qcow2 using qemu-img.

Subject: Altering systemvm templates - VirtualBox?

I was looking to manually update our 4.11.3 system vm templates to perform the 
workaround described in https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/3654, 
however, I can’t seem to get the system vm QCOW2 file to boot in virtual box. 
It tells me it can’t find a boot device. Can anyone point me to some 
information on how to do this, or maybe to another way to update a systemvm 
template?

I’m using a Mac running VirtualBox (latest version), and attaching the QCOW2 
file as the drive, specifying 64 bit Debian linux as OS.
Thanks!

Re: Altering systemvm templates - VirtualBox?

[Richard Lawley]

You may find it easier to modify the template build script rather than
perform manual changes to an existing template.  We use this approach to
building our own system VMs and it's worked well.

Building the templates isn't tricky - look in tools/appliance in the
source.  If you want to run additional customisations, then you would add
an extra script to be run inside the template being built - into
tools/appliance/systemvmtemplate/template.json.
