rtXen (our personalized Xen version) support only the RAW disk image format.
To convert a VMDK image (Virtual Machine Disk) to a RAW image you need qemu-img (http://mirror2.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/knoppix/qemu-0.8.1/qemu-img.exe)
Open the directory containing the VMDK file (usually the linux path
is /home/user/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/
and the windows
path is C:\Users\user\VirtualBox VMs
). Then, use the
following command (changing the file name):
qemu-img convert image.vmdk convertedimage.img
Open a SSH connection with your Abilis and create a directory in
/opt/domains/
:
mkdir /opt/domains/myvirtualmachine
Logout from the Abilis and copy the converted image into the new directory:
On Linux, use the command: scp -C root@<dom0-ip-address>:/opt/domains/myvirtualmachine /home/utente/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/convertedimage.img
On WIndows, use WinScp (http://winscp.net/eng/download.php)
