Cannot convert ACS from .vmdk to qcow2
I'm installing ACS and I reached point 2.3 of the manual but cannot go further.
The instruction says " From EVE CLI go to your newly created ACS folder and convert uploaded vmdk file to qcow2 format" ... and than two commands:
cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.1.4/
with which I land in acs-.../ directory. Now shouId I execute the second part in this directory or how? Asking because it doesn't work and I have to deal with unix for the first time in my life My command looks like this:
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 ACS-disk1.vmdk hda.qcow
please could you specify how it should be executed?
Thx

you have to be sure in your command is right vmdk filename
in the how to are used my filename, marked in red.
you have yo use your own vmdk filename

Re: Cannot convert ACS from .vmdk to qcow2
I did this of course. My filename is ACS.vdmk. It is localized in /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.1.4 .
Now I go to this file folder using mobaXterm client with command:
cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.1.4/
and enter the command:
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 ACS.vmdk hda.qcow2
Then after I get the following error:
qemu-img: Could not open 'ACS.vmdk': Invalid footer
Something's wrong with the syntax but what?

Yes, the file is there:
root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.1.4# ls
ACS.vmdk
root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.1.4#
root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.1.4# ls
ACS.vmdk

Re: Cannot convert ACS from .vmdk to qcow2
go to location where is ACS.vmdk file and run:
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 ACS.vmdk hda.qcow2
if not working, then you did badly export from esxi
Code: Select all
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 ACS.vmdk hda.qcow2
if not working, then you did badly export from esxi
