Solved Unable to import Virtual Machine into Amazon EC2 Posted on 2011-05-10 Cloud Computing VMware Software-Other AWS 1 Verified Solution 4 Comments 3,241 Views Last Modified: 2014-11-12 Hi, I'm trying to import a virtual machine into is not Amazon EC2 but sofar I'm unsuccessful. Honestly I'm a little lost at this stage. I converted the Virtual Machine I created in Microsoft Hyper-V to VMDK format with no problems. I also download and setup the Amazon EC 2 API tools with no problems and tested them. I've been able to launch a Windows instance from the AWS Management Console with no problems either. The first problem I came across was while to is not supported import the virtual and I selected format "VMDK" C:\aws>ec2-import-instance 123M.vmdk -f VMDK -s 12 z eu-west-1a -b test -o 111111111 -w 11111111111 WARNING: Ignoring extra parameter(s): [ z, eu-west-1a ] ERROR: Unknown VMDK format I then decided to switch to RAW format instead, this was successful and I was able to get a "task ID" . I created the Amazon EBS volume with a size of 12GB before running this command mind you. Volume is vol-6a42df03 screenshot attached C:\aws>ec2-import-instance 123M.vmdk -f RAW -s 12 z eu-west-1a -b vol-6a42df03 - o 111111111111111 -w 11111111111111 WARNING: Ignoring extra parameter(s): [ z, eu-west-1a ] Disk image format: RAW Converted volume size: 10284171264 bytes (9.58 GiB) Requested EBS volume size: 12884901888 bytes (12.00 GiB) TaskType IMPORTINSTANCE TaskId import-i-ffwr4pgf ExpirationTime 2011-05-17T19:27:53+00:00 Status active InstanceID i-cc6a75a3 DISKIMAGE DiskImageFormat RAW DiskImageSize 10284171264 VolumeSi ze 12 AvailabilityZone us-east-1c ApproximateBytesConverte d 0 Status active I then tried to run the task but I'm getting the error message below! Can you please help me? Also I don't understand why I couldn't use the VMDK format it states that in alot of tutorials. C:\aws>ec2-upload-disk-im - check it out as it may work for you! I’ve used VMware for many years to allow me to test and develop various server configurations and distributions. It’s where I played with Linux-VServer, User Mode Linux (UML), Kernel Based Virtual Machine (KVM) and Xen. The relevant part to EC2 here is obviously that EC2 is also Xen based. So far when using EC2 I’ve stood on the shoulders of giants and taken existing AMIs and used them as they are or with modification. Always the control freak, I wanted to create my own AMI from scratch. Having slimmed down my hardware inventory (I got complaints about the various half built towers lying around!) then my only option was to either create an image in a loopback device on EC2 or return to my trusty steed of VMware. Creating the AMI from VMware was easier than I thought - but just in case anyone else is looking to do it then I thought it worthy of a blog post. There are two options for migration - one is to create the image from within the running VMware machine, the other is to convert the VMDK file into a RAW image. I plan to create some base ‘clean’ images from which I can then create specific appliances - for example a base Centos i386 and x64 install which I will then layer additional software on to create specific appliance images. My preferred method is to create the AMI from within the running VMware machine - the resulting AMI is much smaller in size (as I think that during conversion of a VMDK the resulting RAW image is the size of the volume rather than the data - although you can probably override this with options). I’ve given instructions for both methods so you can make your own mind up. Converting VMDK files for use on EC2 Create your machine in VMware as usual and when ready shut it down. Then, grab yourself a copy of QEMU as we need to use it to convert the VMDK files. Basic usage is: qemu-img convert -O raw input.vmdk output.raw The VMDK file will then be converted into a RAW file - we’ve specified the output format with the -O tag and qemu-img is intelligent enough to figure out the input format. Your image may span several VMDKs in which case you’ll need to run a simple shell loop, for example: for file in `ls *[0-9].vmdk`; do qemu-img convert -O raw
