Template or root Volume VHD not able to run on standalone xenserver
Hi,
I am using ACS 4.2 with Xenserver 6.2 SP1..
Also I have .vhd of template & root volume & want to run on standalone xen
server but, while trying to import vhd from import wizard in xencenter it
says, 'VHD is not suitable for xenserver' .
Is it related to vhd-util, what we are importing in CS Management server?
How can i resolve this issue?
Regards,
Tejas

Wherever you found the vhd do (I.e the original location of it):
vhd-util scan -p -v -f -m /path/to/vhd
This (p)rints (v)erbose (f)ast scan results. This works for me with the vhd-util that is part of blktap-utils on Ubuntu (which is what I run my NSF server on hence the files being there) but I believe should work on other platforms too. Otherwise do vhd-util scan -h to see if any of the options are different.

Andrei, I think what he is trying to do is take the vhd from an instance on
CS+XS and take it to a standalone XS server not under CS control, so doubt
that is the prob.

Not sure if this is related, but the only time i've had issues with starting vms with XenServer + CloudStack was vhd-utils were not copied to /opt/xensource/bin folder. Make sure the file is there.

Hi Tejas,
Where did you get the VHD file from? Just making sure it is a complete
file and not part of a chain.
regards,
-Carlos
