I am trying to import a ubuntu 18 os ovirt vm ova template.
For this i am creating task with below command aws ec2 import-image --region ap-south-1
--description "Ovirt VM" --license-type BYOL --disk-containers
"file://containers.json" aws ec2 describe-import-image-tasks --region ap-south-1
--import-task-ids import-ami-0755c8cd52d08ac88
But unfortunately it is failing with "StatusMessage": "ClientError: No
valid partitions. Not a valid volume." error.
can someone please guide the steps to export and import ovirt vm ova into aws ec2
instance?
oVirt OVA disk are using qcow2 format. Does aws tool support this format?
You can try to extract the OVA file (which is a tar file):
tar xf ovirt.ova
And then convert the disks to raw format:
cd extracted-ova
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw disk1.qcow2 disk1.raw
And tey to import the extracted OVA using ther raw images.
This will not be very efficient but it will help to debug this issue.
