Re: kvm - why just qcow2

I suppose it would be best, and probably easiest, to accept templates in vmdk, vdi, etc, but qemu-img convert to qcow2 during the copy to primary storage, to keep the agent code from dealing with many formats. There's a lot of code that would need rework to deal with non-qcow2 file based disks. On

Marcus, When I refactored the template upload process ages ago, I left in an interface called Processor.java. The whole purpose of which was to allow others to add post processing of the template once its been uploaded. Such conversions can be done there. Take a look and see if it suits your

Yeah. I don't think it would be so bad, since we already do qemu-img convert on any non-file based storage, or at least a copy. I think the impact would be negligible or none going from a vmdk template to raw compared to the existing qcow2 to raw, but definitely be felt on file based primary storag

Sure, I'll take a look, it might just do the trick. I imagine this would be run in the SSVM? On the other hand, if we pass off format conversation to the hypervisors template copy as discussed, we could move toward multi hypervisor templates, where you can upload and store a single vmdk or vdi and

Thanks for the pointer to the new documentation. I will do an install from it and see how it pans out. There has probably been discussion on this that I've missed - is the current documentation being retired? If so, when is the changeover scheduled? Regards, S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +44 077
