Rohit Yadav resolved CLOUDSTACK-4757. ------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed > Support OVA files with multiple disks for templates > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-4757 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4757 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: New Feature > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Components: Storage Controller > Reporter: Likitha Shetty > Assignee: Nicolas Vazquez > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Future > > > CloudStack volumes and templates are one single virtual disk in case of > XenServer/XCP and KVM hypervisors since the files used for templates and > volumes are virtual disks (VHD, QCOW2). However, VMware volumes and templates > are in OVA format, which are archives that can contain a complete VM > including multiple VMDKs and other files such as ISOs. And currently, > Cloudstack only supports Template creation based on OVA files containing a > single disk. If a user creates a template from a OVA file containing more > than 1 disk and launches an instance using this template, only the first disk > is attached to the new instance and other disks are ignored. > Similarly with uploaded volumes, attaching an uploaded volume that contains > multiple disks to a VM will result in only one VMDK to being attached to the > VM. > This behavior needs to be improved in VMWare to support OVA files with > multiple disks for both uploaded volumes and templates. i.e. If a user > creates a template from a OVA file containing more than 1 disk and launches > an instance using this template, the first disk should be attached to the new > instance as the ROOT disk and volumes should be created based on other VMDK > disks in the OVA file and should be attached to the instance. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
