Re: [ovirt-users] Upload img file to Storage Domain

[Fernando Frediani]

Thanks for that.
That worked.

I installed a temporary Linux distribution, downloded the .img file to 
its filesystem, made a dd to /dev/vdb and remove the temporary Linux 
distribution disk, then let the disk boot from the remaining disk. Far 
from ideal but at least worked.

Hi there,

I'm spending a fair amount of time to find out how (if possible) to upload a

It is a OpenWRT image and there is no OVF from it, so it's a raw image which
I wanted to use as a disc. Tried both with engine-iso-uploader and
engine-image-uploader but they refure for diferent reasons.

Is that possible at all ?


Uploading of QCOW images from GUI will hopefully land in 4.0.

In the meantime you can work around it like this:
1. Create a VM and install centos/some other Linux on it
2. Create a new VM disk and attach to VM, not the disk device
3. Copy the image from the file to the disk device with virt-resize.
4. Detach the disk from the VM and build a new VM around it

Optionally:
1. Convert the VM from step #4 to a template
2. Re use the VM from step #1 to upload more images.

HTH,

I has landed, the last 4.0 build should support it in ovirt builds.

It may have a bug that you have to approve additional certificate
to get the upload working, this is fixed upstream.

Amit, can you confirm?

Alternatively you can put the image manually to any location, reachable by qemu 
and use vmdisk hook to attach the image to VM at start.

[ovirt-users] Upload img file to Storage Domain

[Fernando Frediani]

Hi there,

I'm spending a fair amount of time to find out how (if possible) to 
upload a .img image to a oVirt Storage Domain and be able to mount it in 
a VM as a disk.


It is a OpenWRT image and there is no OVF from it, so it's a raw image 
which I wanted to use as a disc. Tried both with engine-iso-uploader and 
engine-image-uploader but they refure for diferent reasons.


Is that possible at all ?
