Description Sergio Rubio 2012-04-18 11:58:21 UTC
The vhd-util command in the package blktap (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-0516/blktap-2.0.90-3.git20111216.62de90d.fc16) lacks 'convert', necessary to convert a RAW disk file to VHD and deliver it to Xenserver. There's a patch floating around and proper instructions to do the conversion:

It would be great if something like this could be included to be able to create a platform plugin for Boxgrinder like this one:

Please submit to upstream first:

And vhd-tool may satisfy your need:
