Re: [ovirt-users] Importing An Ubuntu Disk

[Marcin Michta]

Hi, I have one method - maybe not so nice, but works: Create new VM on a NFS storage with disk type and size of disk which you want to import. In GUI find ID of new created disk. Copy image to the storage and replace image in the correct directory based on the ID of disk (ex. /export/nfs/$STORAGE_ID/images/$DISK_ID/$DISK_ID_FILE ) On 14.04.2016 12:01, Charles Tassell wrote: Hello,   I was wondering if there is any way to import a disk image (qcow/qcow2) into an oVirt storage domain?  I've tried v2v but it won't work because the image customization parts of it won't deal with Ubuntu, and I tried import-to-ovirt.pl but the disks it creates seem to be broken in some way that prevents them from booting when attached to a VM.   I've seen some references to creating a pre-allocated disk of the same size and then using dd to overwrite the contents of it, but is there a better method?  Or should I just import my existing VMs by booting off a system rescue CD and restoring backups over the network? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- -- Marcin Michta Systems & Network Administrator --------------------------------- E: marcin.mic...@codilime.com --------------------------------- CodiLime Sp. z o.o. - Ltd. company with its registered office in Poland, 01-167 Warsaw, ul.
