<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>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My apologies for sounding naïve- just trying to get to grips with all of this ..
