Hi,

Does anyone ever create VMWare image using "qemu-img convert" from a QCOW2
image? I did some test according to the following guide but the VM creation
always failed.

I tried to logon to the console of the VM and found the console is
reporting the VM was boot from PXE and no operating systems.

==============================

Using the qemu-img utility, disk images in several formats (such as, qcow2)
can be converted to the VMDK format.

For example, the following command can be used to convert a qcow2 Ubuntu
Precise cloud image<http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img>
:

$ qemu-img convert -f qcow2
~/Downloads/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img \
-O vmdk precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.vmdk

VMDK disks converted through qemu-img are always monolithic sparse VMDK
disks with an IDE adapter type. Using the previous example of the Precise
Ubuntu image after the qemu-img conversion, the command to upload the VMDK
disk should be something like:

$ glance image-create --name precise-cloud --is-public=True \
--container-format=bare --disk-format=vmdk \
--property vmware_disktype="sparse" \
--property vmware_adaptertype="ide" < \
precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.vmdk

===============================
