The easiest way to create an image from an existing kvm instance is with: src_vm_uuid=FIXME name=my-first-image version=1 imgadm create -i $src_vm_uuid -s linux-prepare-image version=$version name=$name
You can find linux-prepare-image at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joyent/sdc-imgapi/master/tools/prepare-image/linux-prepare-image You can then install that image on the server with imgadm install -f $name-$version.zvol -m $name-$version.imgmanifest HTH, Mike On Wed, Jun 27, 2018 at 1:53 PM, Youzhong Yang <[email protected]> wrote: > If I need to store our own kvm image on our server, what format of the > image file should be? zfs send stream and compressed by gzip? where to put > the file? together with the manifest file? > > The following image on joyent server does not say anything about the file > location.
