[one-users] Import Xen DomU

[Javier Fontan]

Are you trying to add to opennebula database some already running VMs
or trying to start new VMs from the already created images?

There is no easy way to add already running VMs to OpenNebula system.

If you want to start new VM's from that lvm disks you can specify the
lvm lv's in the target parameter of the disk. You should also use the
parameter CLONE=no so it uses the lvm partition and not it not tries
to clone it somewhere.

You should also tie the VM to the host that has that lvm partition
using requirements parameter in the template:

--8<------
REQUIREMENTS="HOSTNAME=\"name_of_the_host\""
------>8--

Cheers
