Hello,
I¹m using ZFS to export some iscsi targets for the virtual box iscsi
initiator.
It works ok if I try to install the guest OS manually.
However, I¹d like to be able to import my already prepared guest os vdi
images into the iscsi devices but I can¹t figure out how to do it.
Each time I tried, I cannot boot.
It only works if I save the manually installed guest os and re-instate the
same as follows:
dd if=/dev/dsk/c3t600144F07551C20000004D619D170002d0p0 of=debian.vdi
dd if=debian.vdi of=/dev/dsk/c3t600144F07551C20000004D619D170002d0p0
fdisk /dev/dsk/c3t600144F07551C20000004D619D170002d0p0
Total disk size is 512 cylinders
Cylinder size is 4096 (512 byte) blocks
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 Active Linux native 0 463 464 91
2 EXT-DOS 464 511 48 9
I¹m wondering whether there is an issue with the disk geometry hardcoded in
the vdi file container ?
Does the VDI disk geometry need to match the LUN size ?
Thanks,
Thierry.
