I think I figured it out...

It appears the qemu-img distributed with CentOS 6 is old and doesn't support 
multi file .vmdks convert.

I recompiled the latest version and it copied/converted the .vmdks properly.

I am now facing a problem with libguestfs, NOT recognizing the OS inside the 
.qcow2.  Again, I think this is due to older release of libguestfs.

What distro are you guys using for libvirt hosts?

Hi All,



We have a vorking vcl 2.3 + esxi setup working.



We are now trying out a libvirt host.  We have the host up but we are having 
issues deploying our vmare images on it.



It appears be related with multiple files .vmdks disks and qemu-img convert.  
The resulting qcow2 file is way too small, and the vm fails to boot saying disk 
is NOT bootable.



If I take a -flat.vmdk image and convert it, I can boot the vm manually in 
virt-manager.



Anybody has seen this?



Thanks



Yanik
