Title:
VMware: vmdk converted via qemu-img may not boot as SCSI disk
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
Won't Fix
Bug description:
When converting disk images from other formats to vmdk using qemu-img,
the vmdk disk produced is always a monolithic sparse disk with an
adapter type of "ide" and disk geometry to match. Depending on the
partitioning scheme of the guest OS, such a disk, even after being
converted to a format compatible for ESX use, will still often be
unbootable if attached to the virtual SCSI controller instead of the
IDE controller.
This behavior currently leads to a hard requirement that the
vmware_adaptertype=ide image property be set when the vmdk is uploaded
to glance. Failure to set this property, a step often overlooked by
the user, will often lead to guest boot failure that is hard to track
down. In some cases, vmdk disks uploaded to glance even lacks the DDB
metadata that indicates the adaptertype of the disk, which complicates
serviceability further.
