[one-users] Migrating a QEMU VM to OpenNebula 3.8.1

[Stuart Longland]

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked already, I did look but didn't see anything.

The situation is thus; in a hurry I needed to get a couple of virtual
machines going, we didn't have anything installed at the time beyond
plain QEMU/KVM, so I just used that, creating the following shell script
snippet:

> exec kvm \
>         -uuid 2247a584-e95d-47f1-8756-9088c25b87eb \
>         -drive file=/path/to/hda.qcow2,if=virtio,media=disk \
>         -rtc base=localtime \
>         -vnc :0 \
>         -daemonize \
>         -usb \
>         -usbdevice tablet \
>         -m 512 \
>         -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:59 \
>         -net tap \
>         "$@"

The above VM runs Windows Server 2008R2 64-bit.

In fact, I've got a few VMs like this.  In the case of Linux VMs (using
serial console), the main difference is the use of -nographic in place
of -daemon and using `screen -dmS` to daemonise the KVM process instead.

How does one go about importing such a VM into OpenNebula?  I tried by
copying across the disk image and creating a 64-bit host.  Despite being
careful to ensure things were identical, I always got a STOP error;
error 0x0000005d.

Is there a known working procedure for importing such VMs?

Regards,
