Hi,
I'm new on openstack, and I hope that this is not a stupid question.

One of my students has created a Fedora 17 image with the following 
procedure:

1. virt-install  -l 
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Fedora/x86_64/os 
--ram 1024 --disk path=./images/olio-f16_64-$VMM.img,size=10 --name 
olio-f16_64  --graphics vnc,password=qweasdzxc,port=5904,listen=0.0.0.0 
--debug


 2. Save XML installation file produced in output by the virt-install
    program
    $ vi images/olio-f16_64-$VMM-install.xml
 3. Save XML boot file produced in output by the virt-install program
    $ vi images/olio-f16_64-$VMM-boot.xml


When a VM image is already available, use it along with a previously 
create XML file:

 1. Create the guest VM
    $ sudo virsh create images/olio-f16_64-$VMM-boot.xml


and so on...

Now I have an image file called olio-f17_64-xen.img, and I would like to 
put it available on my cloudstack. Since in the docs I saw procedures 
for KVM and for VMbuilder, I would like to know how I can upload the 
image created with libvirt in openstack.

Thanks for your help.
