Hi all
i migrated a win 2008 server image from kvm to ovirt about a month back, it has been running fine until yesterday when is crashed and wouldn't restart. Did you created snapshots which you can recover from? i have tried booting from cd image and repairing the image and tried redoing the boot sectors but nothing seems to be working at this stage. my question is can i somehow mount this image as a partition or is there any other way to access the data on the image without the image being up and running so that i can retrieve the data on it? i have installed a new windows vm and re-installed the required apps, but need to get the user data from the crashed image now? You can try to detach the disk from the VM and attach it to another VM.
First check the image integrity by running "qemu-img check <image_path>" command against it. "qemu-img" also has option to correct the corruption if there is any. You can use "*libguestfs"* to access data from virtual machine (VM) disk images. for more information visit: http://libguestfs.org/ Thanks, Prasad Mukhedkar
rgds,
grant.
