Import Ova with multiple Disks
Hi all,
I was wondering if ova with multiple disks are now supported on cloudstack ?
most of my clients have vmware vms.
Best regards

Not sure it helps, but I wrote a Python script which takes an OVA with
multiple disks and splits them and creates one OVA per disk. I wrote this
while building a migration tool from regular VMware to an ACS controlled
VMware so I could upload the first disk as a template and the rest as data
volumes.
I really need to get around to open sourcing that tool...
Let me know if that would be helpful for you.

Hi Guys,
There was some work done by Citrix in 2014 on multi disk OVA that I have pulled into a PR here https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1998.
Though I have created it on 4.9 branch as I thought it will be more stable to test. I will move it to 4.10 once it is ready for merge.
I have tested it and it works with multdisk-OVA files, there is some room for further improvement, I have listed down my thoughts there.
Regards,
-abhi

Ah, got it. That makes a lot of sense, actually.

Re: Import Ova with multiple Disks

Just to set some realistic expectations (as the previous 4.9 release
manager) so no one is caught off guard here.
The 4.9 release branch is an Las branch, so new features should not be
getting merged into that branch.
The 4.10 branch is currently between RC1 and RC2, so I doubt we will see it
merged in before RC2 as it is not a blocker.
I would not expect this feature to be released in a stable branch for a
couple months (unless I missed something).
That's my two cents. I could be wrong, but I'd I were you I would not
expect this feature in the short term.

Hey Will,
There is a PR open for it at https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1989
to be merged into version 4.9, though it looks like a pretty significant
amount of work and by the time it's ready I imagine we might be looking
into 4.10.
Not my PR, but seems that disks do get implemented as data volumes.

As of yet, OVAs with multiple disks are not supported, however progress has
