Upload img file to Storage Domain
Hi there, I'm spending a fair amount of time to find out how (if possible) to upload a .img image to a oVirt Storage Domain and be able to mount it in a VM as a disk. It is a OpenWRT image and there is no OVF from it, so it's a raw image which I wanted to use as a disc. Tried both with engine-iso-uploader and engine-image-uploader but they refure for diferent reasons. Is that possible at all ? Fernando

Uploading of QCOW images from GUI will hopefully land in 4.0. In the meantime you can work around it like this: 1. Create a VM and install centos/some other Linux on it 2. Create a new VM disk and attach to VM, not the disk device 3. Copy the image from the file to the disk device with virt-resize. 4. Detach the disk from the VM and build a new VM around it Optionally: 1. Convert the VM from step #4 to a template 2. Re use the VM from step #1 to upload more images.

I has landed, the last 4.0 build should support it in ovirt builds. It may have a bug that you have to approve additional certificate to get the upload working, this is fixed upstream. Amit, can you confirm?

Thanks for that. That worked. I installed a temporary Linux distribution, downloded the .img file to its filesystem, made a dd to /dev/vdb and remove the temporary Linux distribution disk, then let the disk boot from the remaining disk. Far from ideal but at least worked. Fernando Em 08/06/2016 10:12, Barak Korren escreveu:
