HelloI registered a new template via CloudStack UI, URL: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/jammy/release/ubuntu-22.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.vmdk
And afterwards attempted to boot a new VM from it, but resulted in this error:
2025-11-18 14:00:30,752 WARN [utils.script.Script] (agentRequest-Handler-1:[]) (logid:65d003b3) Execution of process [970156] for command [qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -U --image-opts driver=qcow2,file.filename=/mnt/0a456ed7-de87-3956-a372-2886da3d8999/6daf7341-3f1b-366d-b068-24d206cab7f0.vmdk /var/lib/libvirt/images/8fe2699a-e064-4129-9279-ebe6c06b7293 ] failed.2025-11-18 14:00:30,752 WARN [utils.script.Script] (agentRequest-Handler-1:[]) (logid:65d003b3) Process [970156] for command [qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -U --image-opts driver=qcow2,file.filename=/mnt/0a456ed7-de87-3956-a372-2886da3d8999/6daf7341-3f1b-366d-b068-24d206cab7f0.vmdk /var/lib/libvirt/images/8fe2699a-e064-4129-9279-ebe6c06b7293 ] encountered the error: [qemu-img: Could not open 'driver=qcow2,file.filename=/mnt/0a456ed7-de87-3956-a372-2886da3d8999/6daf7341-3f1b-366d-b068-24d206cab7f0.vmdk': Image is not in qcow2 format].2025-11-18 14:00:30,753 ERROR [kvm.storage.LibvirtStorageAdaptor] (agentRequest-Handler-1:[]) (logid:65d003b3) Failed to convert /mnt/0a456ed7-de87-3956-a372-2886da3d8999/6daf7341-3f1b-366d-b068-24d206cab7f0.vmdk to /var/lib/libvirt/images/8fe2699a-e064-4129-9279-ebe6c06b7293 the error was: qemu-img: Could not open 'driver=qcow2,file.filename=/mnt/0a456ed7-de87-3956-a372-2886da3d8999/6daf7341-3f1b-366d-b068-24d206cab7f0.vmdk': Image is not in qcow2 format
Am I missing something? CloudStack UI literally gives me the option to register VMDK format via the UI.
