Hi Tino, I tried creating the image from esxi5, and then importing it into opennebula, and finally the suspend/resume functionality started working smoothly!
I anyway had to change a few things as opennebula wasn't accepting the vm image I was getting from esxi 5. In fact the vmware configuration in opennebula works when you have vmname-s001.vmdk etc., but it doesn't when you have vmname-flat.vmdk. By looking into the scripts I found that opennebula tries to find the descriptor (the .vmdk renamed to disk.0), by looking at all the files with vmdk ending, and omitting the ones that have the "-s00n" in the name. I had to change that part so that it could omit also files having "-flat" in the name. Anyway now it is pretty slow as the vm it moves is around 16 GB. Is there a way to speed it up? thanks, best regards carlo Il 23 marzo 2012 13:53, Tino Vazquez <tin...@opennebula.org> ha scritto: > Hi Carlo, > > This may be an issue then with the version of the disk.
