You can create a DATABLOCK image and after installing the system you can use the save_as command: * saveas (Set the specified vms disk to be saved in a new image (image_name) when the vm shuts down) onevm saveas <vm_id> <disk_id> <image_name> (Set a different type for the new Image) onevm saveas <vm_id> <disk_id> <image_name> -t/--type <type> Remember to set the Image type (OS) Regards > thanks, > > michaël > > > Michaël Van de Borne > R&D Engineer, SOA team, CETIC > Phone: +32 (0)71 49 07 45 Mobile: +32 (0)472 69 57 16, Skype: mikemowgli > www.cetic.be, rue des Frères Wright, 29/3, B-6041 Charleroi > > > Le 16/06/11 12:03, Daniel Molina a écrit : >> >> Hi, >> >> On 10 June 2011 10:46, Michaël Van de Borne<michael.vandebo...@cetic.be> >> wrote: >>> >>> Hi there, >>> >>> It seems that is a storage element has to be used on the cloud, it has to >>> be >>> created prior, and then uploaded to the cloud. >>> As I'd like to use empty storage elements (and fill them later on), I'd >>> like >>> to know how I could create (via CLI or OCCI) a storage volume in the >>> cloud, >>> without having to uploading it. >>> >> You can define a DATABLOCK image that will create an empty disk, you >> should make it persistent in order to keep your changes. >> >> Using the CLI: >> $ oneimage create datablock.template >> $ cat datablock.template >> NAME = "Experiment results" >> TYPE = DATABLOCK >> # No PATH set, this image will start as a new empty disk >> SIZE = 2048 >> FSTYPE = ext3 >> PUBLIC = NO >> PERSISTENT = YES >> DESCRIPTION = "Storage for my Thesis experiments." >> >> Using OCCI: >> $ occi-storage create datablock.xml >> $ cat datablock.xml >> <STORAGE> >> <NAME>Experiment results</NAME> >> <DESCRIPTION>Storage for my Thesis experiments.</DESCRIPTION> >> <TYPE>DATABLOCK</TYPE> >> <SIZE>2048</SIZE> >> <FSTYPE>ext3</FSTYPE> >> <PUBLIC>NO</PUBLIC> >> <PERSISTENT>YES</PERSITENT> >> </STORAGE> >> >> Hope this helps. >>> >>> thank you, >>> >>> michaël >>> >>> -- >>> >>> Michaël Van de Borne >>> R&D Engineer, SOA team, CETIC >>> Phone: +32 (0)71 49 07 45 Mobile: +32 (0)472 69 57 16, Skype: mikemowgli >>> www.cetic.be, rue des Frères Wright, 29/3, B-6041 Charleroi >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Users mailing list >>> Users@lists.opennebula.org >>> http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org >>> >> >> > -- Daniel Molina, Cloud Technology Engineer/Researcher Major Contributor OpenNebula - The Open Source Toolkit for Cloud Computing www.OpenNebula.org | dmol...@opennebula.org _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.opennebula.org http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org
