Thanks Brown, I was using same way as you did but always failed, not sure
if it is caused by my image but the image does work for KVM before convert.
I will try your image later.
Thanks!

Good timing. I just tried this today for the first time.
Here's what worked for me:
wget
http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/saucy/current/saucy-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 saucy-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img -O vmdk
saucy-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.vmdk
glance image-create --name precise-cloud --is-public=True
--container-format=bare --disk-format=vmdk --property
vmware_disktype=sparse --property vmware_adaptertype=ide
saucy-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.vmdk
nova boot --config-drive=true --image saucy-cloud --flavor m1.small --poll

Hi,
Does anyone ever create VMWare image using qemu-img convert from a QCOW2
image? I did some test according to the following guide but the VM creation
always failed.
I tried to logon to the console of the VM and found the console is
reporting the VM was boot from PXE and no operating systems.

Using the qemu-img utility, disk images in several formats (such as,
qcow2) can be converted to the VMDK format.
For example, the following command can be used to convert a qcow2 Ubuntu
Precise cloud

:
$ qemu-img convert -f qcow2
~/Downloads/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img \
-O vmdk precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.vmdk
VMDK disks converted through qemu-img are always monolithic sparse VMDK
disks with an IDE adapter type. Using the previous example of the Precise
Ubuntu image after the qemu-img conversion, the command to upload the
VMDK disk should be something like:
$ glance image-create --name precise-cloud --is-public=True \
--container-format=bare --disk-format=vmdk \
--property vmware_disktype=sparse \
--property vmware_adaptertype=ide \
precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.vmdk
