Dear Sir,
Since I already possess an ISO image of 538MB, I tired to upload the ISO in OpenNebula by creating an Image and uploading the ISO of type cdrom.  Screenshot attached with success message.
But unknowingly, the image is not getting listed after waiting for minutes and repeated Refresh.
Could you please help!

Thanks in Advance!

You have to take three separate steps:
- load the iso image as a CD within opennebula,
- create the template for the initial installation,
- after the installation, remove the CD from the template and you have your reusable windows image.
If you already have the iso file, just upload within Sunstone, by creating a new image of type CDROM.
After that, create a template with 2 storage units: the cd image you have uploaded, and a datablock of the desired size, marked persistent so that modifications
will remain.
Instantiate the template, and you will be guided in the installation of windows on the datablock; after completed (and updated, and downloaded service packs and whatever)
shut down the machine, change the datastore image you created into type "OS", remove the cd from the template and you're set. If you use kvm, it may be especially worthwile to install the
windows paravirtualized drivers for KVM, that add a substantial increase in speed for all io operations.

Oggetto: [one-users] Require Windows.qcow2 tarball

Dear All,

To install Windows OS in a VM in OpenNebula I need to create a template in Windows XP/7/8. For that I require the OS is qcow2 format preferably.

If it is not available due to licensing issue, we have our license copy; could you please provide us the steps to convert that .iso file to a .qcow2 format?

Do I need to create an .img first, install that OS somewhere & then utilize the .qcow2 driver?

Please help!
