I've just pushed vdiskadm translate to the 3.3 vdisk repo.
You can now translate data from one virtual disk data
type to another without creating a virtual disk.
This allows the user to use a vmdk file and directly
translate the data into a zvol without having to import
it first to a vdisk and then export it to the zvol.
# vdiskadm help translate
translate - translate virtual disk data to a different type
USAGE:
vdiskadm translate [-i type[:opt]] -I input_file -x type[:opt] -d output_file
TYPES AND OPTIONS SUPPORTED
vmdk:sparse
vmdk:fixed
vdi:sparse
vdi:fixed
vhd:sparse
vhd:fixed
raw
EXAMPLE:
vdiskadm translate -I app.vmdk -x raw -d /dev/zvol/dsk/pool1/t1
------------
The -i option is only needed if vdiskadm can't detect the type of virtual
disk data.
Other examples:
vdiskadm translate -I app.vmdk -x vhd:sparse -d app.vhd
vdiskadm translate -I /dev/zvol/dsk/pool1/t1 -x vmdk:sparse -d app.vmdk
Thanks,
Susan
