Never tried, but in your template you can define disks, so they
should be imported just like the main hd on remote host.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi there,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been reading through the
docs on how the vm’s are created / deployed, and I
must admit that I still can’t quite get how it all
fits together.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I want to create a vm – what
is the best way to do this ?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ie: I have the CentOS 6.2 dvd
image.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to build a Linux
“Base” image that will then get extended by a
template to be a DNS or DB or WEB server.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have used cobbler to do this
on existing machine based installations with
success, but I am trying to figure out how
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To do this with a VM
deployment.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I create a filesystem, I
use a raw image file. When trying a qcow type
image – centos doesn’t see any disk space.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then, I build a VM through the
virt-manager interface – but surely I can do this
within OpenNebula ?</p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times
New Roman","serif"">OpenNebula is
not for VM creation. You can indeed use
virt-manager, or VirtualBox (then transform your
image to approriate format).<br>
If you have an empty disk image, you could attach
a CentOS DVD image to "CDROM" then connect to the
VNC of your image to do the install but I don't
think it is the easiest/better thing to do.</span></p>
