Seguint amb Proxmox… avui he estat passant les maquines virtuals
que tinc al server amb vmware al meu nou proxmox… es senzill i ràpid,
l’ordre seria:
qemu-img convert -f vmdk FOGServer.vmdk -O raw images/104/vm-104-disk-1.raw
Al Proxmox cal ficar-les a la ruta /var/lib/vz/images/100 (101, 102…)
Convert Virtualbox vdi to KVM qcow
Step 1. Convert the VB disk vdi image to a raw image format.
VBoxManage clonehd --format RAW ubuntu.vdi ubuntu.img
Note: The ubunut.img is a raw disk image, it will be quite large (as many GB as your virtual drive is, see above).
Step 2 : convert the raw image to a qcow
qemu-img convert -f raw ubuntu.img -O qcow2 ubuntu.qcow
That is all there is to it, the ubuntu.qcow can be used with KVM.
Test your new image (ubuntu.qcow) with:
kvm -m 512 -usbdevice tablet -hda ubuntu.qcow
If it is working you may delete the raw image (ubuntu.img) and archive or delete the ubuntu.vdi
Convert VMware .vmdk to KVM .qcow2 or Virtualbox .vdi
First convert the .vmdk to a format compatible with qemu-img.
Turns out this can be done with vmware-vdiskmanager.
1. Converting from .vmdk
Use vmware-vdiskmanager to create a copy. This works with a single or multiple disks.
ls
Ubuntu.vmdk
Ubuntu-f001.vmdk
Ubuntu-f002.vmdk
Ubuntu-f003.vmdk ...
vmware-vdiskmanager -r Ubuntu.vmdk -t 0 Ubuntu-copy.vmdk
Note: If you have multiple disks, use Ubuntu.vmdk as well (you do not need to convert each Ubuntu-f001.vmdk).
Note: That is a -t Zero not a capital O. see man vmware-vdiskmanager.
Note: vmware-vdiskmanager is part of vmware server (and workstation, not sure about player).
2. Alternate – Converting “flat files”.
Flat files are used by vmware if you create a virtual disk (vmdk)
with the “Allocate all disk space now” option (you have this option when
creating disks for use with vmware). Flat files contain all the data
from your .vmdk and can (usually) be converted directly.
Notice, flat files can be directly converted to .qcow. If you wish to convert to .vdi (VirtualBox) convert flat to raw.
KVM :
qemu-img convert Ubuntu-flat.vmdk -O qcow2 Ubuntu-copy.qemu
Note: That is a capital O qcow2
RAW (for VirtualBox)
qemu-img convert Ubuntu-flat.vmdk -O raw Ubuntu-copy.img
Note: That is a capital O qcow2
KVM – Convert to qcow2
Convert the new “copy” .vmdk with qemu-img
qemu-img convert Ubuntu-copy.vmdk -O qcow2 Ubuntu-copy.qemu
Note: That is a capital O qcow2
3. Boot the image with KVM
kvm -hda Ubuntu-copy.qcow -net nic -net user -m 512
Caveats :
- If you have vmware-tools installed, you will have mouse integration.
- If you have vmware-tools installed, the guest desktop may well be
larger then the kvm window. You will need to resize the guest display to
800×600 .
- I could not convert a .vmdk which was using LVM (Fedora).
VirtualBox – Convert to .vdi
1. First use qemu-img to convert the copy .vmdk to raw.
qemu-img convert Ubuntu-copy.vmdk Ubuntu-copy.img
qemu-img with no options will make a raw image. If you prefer you can specify
qemu-img convert Ubuntu-flat.vmdk -O raw Ubuntu-copy.img
2. Then convert the raw image with VBoxManage
VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VDI Ubuntu-copy.img Ubuntu-copy.vdi
3. Start VirtualBox, make a new machine or add the Ubuntu.vdi to an existing machine.
Caveats :
- With VMWare-tools installed, Mouse integration did not work (as it did with KVM).
- The resolution of the guest is also larger then the Virtualbox window.
- I installed the VirtualBoxAdditions and guest resolution worked well, mouse integration, however, did not.
