Hi all

And it failed
( vmware 6.0 and the last OpenNebula 5.4.5 )

[root@portal ~]# chmod 777 /var/tmp/CentOS-7.qcow2
[root@portal ~]# oneimage create --name CentOS-7-x64-KVM-2GB_cntxt_qcow2 --path /var/tmp/CentOS-7.qcow2 -d 100 --driver qcow2

Hi eitand84

OpenNebula works with 2 types of datastores, and you only can storage your images into image datastores.

You can find more info about opennebula datastores here:
http://docs.opennebula.org/5.4/operation/host_cluster_management/datastore_guide.html?highlight=datastores

Regarding vcenter, you need to know that every vcenter datastore can be imported into opennebula as two datastores (image and system) so u need to upload the image to the proper image datastore.

If you want to know about vcenter datastores, check this:
http://docs.opennebula.org/5.4/deployment/vmware_infrastructure_setup/datastore_setup.html?highlight=vcenter%20datastores

Your error happens because you are choosing the wrong ds.

Cheers.
