Hi all,
I'm using this hook script : http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=vdsm.git;a=blob;f=vdsm_hooks/vmdisk/before_... My goal is to boot a vm on a vm image imported form libvirt/kvm. I want to use this single image, that is to say without importing it into ovirt with tools like v2v. acathrow told me on irc that I'd have to change the boot order in the xml, but I don't know how to proceed for many reasons:
* I can't create a vm through the UI which would boot on the disk created by the hook script without first creating a disk on the relevant storage domain. If I try I have those warnings :
hook: Cannot run VM without at least one bootable disk. Alternatives: -Create a disk for this VM, and rerun the VM. -Change the boot sequence using the Edit VM command (Boot Option Sub-Tab). -Use the Run-Once command to select a different boot option and rerun the VM. * If I run a vm with the first disk from the storage domain and an additional disk from the hook script, how could I change the boot order in the xml definition file if I don't know the xml definition of the main disk?
thanks all for your help
1. i guess you can change the script to fix the boot order. 2. you can create a VM with a disk the same size, and just copy your converted disk over it (cp for nfs, dd for iscsi), instead of using the hook.
