Hello,

What hypervisor are you using ? If it’s kvm you need to get the qcow2 file out

Bzip2 -d (filename)

Then you can use this, however the best way would be using the marketplace inages they are only small and you can just add them easily.

Thank you Dave for looking into this and replying, I think I got what I am looking for…

Yes we are using kvm and got the qcow2 out with help of "bzip2 -d "

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
