[SOLVED] converting vmdk to qcow2 to import into openstack

Logax · 08-18-2017, 03:51 PM

hello,

I'm trying to convert my vmware (.vmdk) file to (.qcow2) so i can use it in openstack, so does using qemu-img conversion tool suffice ??

or do i need to do it by other means ?

need help please, i'm almost out of time for project.

It is enough, you do not need anything else. It is used like this:

Code:

qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 image.vmdk image.qcow2

i'm gonna try starting lubuntu in vmware workstation and then taking the 2 .vmdk files and converting them into 1 .qcow2 and i'll try uploading it to openstack to see if it is working or not, i'll come back to you if it doesn't work.

thanks for the answer,

Edit : it worked, thx for the help.
