I've just successfully imgadm install'd a KVM image I created - and wound
up a with a Linux VM which has no disks attached to its disk controller.
The wiki helpfully describes how to create a KVM image using zfs send to a
gzipped file. Then it blithely states:
they can also be imported locally using: imgadm -m <manifest> -f <file>
The process looks like this:
# imgadm install -m smartos-1.3.12.dsmanifest -f smartos-1.3.12.zfs.bz2
but with zero indication of what that manifest file should look like. So,
guessing that I could use the manifest of the Linux image I overwrote when
I got it. So I grabbed that, and edited it as follows:
- Run uuid twice to make up uuids for owner and image
- Take a sha1 sum of the gzipped zfs file for the files section
- Make the length match the length of the gzipped zfs file
and wound up successfully importing it, but when booted it has no boot
media, and when I boot it from an ISO image, there are no disks attached to
the controller.
I'm guessing I did something simple wrong here? (manifest below)
Thanks for any info,
Tim
