Hi Jaime,
Yes, this time you're totally right :) I have two TYPE=OS images, both of them
have been created from vmdk files, and I want to create a new KVM virtual
machine from these two images.
I'm using OpenNebula 3.4 and it doesn't allow to configure two TYPE=OS images
in the same template, so I created a VM template with one OS type image and one
DATABLOCK type image, but I had some problems with the virtual machine boot
("kernel panic- not syncing: Attempted to kill init!")... So I've added another
image (TYPE=CDROM with the boot.iso of the operating system) to the template to
be able to boot the virtual machine and rescue the old installed system. This
works for me but the partition names are different than the original virtual
machine. I've tried to specify them in the TARGET attributes but it doesn't
work:
...
DISK=[
BUS="virtio",
DRIVER="raw",
IMAGE="wms01_raw",
IMAGE_UNAME="oneadmin",
TARGET="sda" ]
DISK=[
BUS="virtio",
DRIVER="raw",
IMAGE="wms01_1_raw",
IMAGE_UNAME="oneadmin",
TARGET="sdb" ]
DISK=[
BUS="virtio",
IMAGE="SL6.3_iso",
IMAGE_UNAME="oneadmin",
TARGET="sdc" ]
Cheers,
Virginia.
