Re: [Users] ovf image for hosted engine

Hey all,
The hosted engine may be installed from pxe, cdrom or disk. The disk format
must be an OVF image, right?
Right
Any suggestions on how to create an ovf image? Poking around, I see mentions
of tools to convert from ovf, but not to ovf, at least not within the
KVM/libvirt world.
I know that this format is used within oVirt, but I don't understand how to
go from the *.ovf file in the export domain + the disk image file or files
to a single disk image.
Easiest way may be:
- prepare an empty export domain
- prepare a VM in a running oVirt system
- export the VM to the export domain
- create the OVF by tar gzipping the export as described in man engine-image-uploader
Do these have to be zipped together? Is there some utility for that,
or
guidance on how it comes together?
take a look at engine-image-uploader man page on how the tar.gz must be.
AFAIK there's any available tool for that, maybe you can open an RFE about it.
My cdrom and pxe hosted engine installs have been spotty -- some crashes,
some unresponsiveness from pxe and from the cd install -- so I'd like to
know how to take the disk route...
Thanks, Jason
