Title:
Unable to boot VM using image exported from Virtual Center
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
Fix Released
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. From Virtual Center, export a working VM as an OVA file (test.ova)
2. Upload OVA file to glance using:
glance image-create --name=testova --disk-format=vmdk --container-format=ovf
--is-public=True --property vmware_adaptertype="ide" --property
vmware_disktype="preallocated" < testimages/test.ova
actual result:
The boot appears to succeed and the VM appears running, but the console shows
"Operating system not found".
Also:
- I have tried with --property vmware_disktype="sparse" and the result is the
same
- Trying with --container-format="ova" gives:
400 Bad Request
Invalid container format 'ova' for image.
(HTTP 400)
Expected:
Able to boot into OS and see the login screen
