Hello
Is there any possibility to run Kubernetes via your appliance using vcenter ? We have downloaded the KVM appliance and converted it to .vmdk but when booting it is looking for a DHCP server.
Would it be possible to convert it to vmdk this way and will it work ?
Importing the appliance into a vCenter datastore should make the conversion automatically.
What you need to ensure is that the VM has a) the VMware tools and b) the OpenNebula context packages
Hi @tinova
Thank you for your advice however importing the qcow appliance into our vcenter datastore via Sunstone does not convert it as when booting the applaince is looking for a DHCP server and the VM cannot boot as we get a boot failure. See logs below.

can you check in the vCenter console at the time of deployment (Tue Nov 3 15:36:56 in the pasted log, but probably better to launch a new VM) to look for additional error messages?

not sure if I follow, if the appliance boots it surely has been converted since VMware does not work with qcow2 images
Hi @tinova
When adding the KVM Kubernetes template using Sunstone the appliance does not boot.
As you state vcenter automatically converts the KVM appliance to vmdk however the VM never boots. We instansiated the VM and when a VM is created the disk is copied as we can see in vcenter but the VM is never created.
If you could provide a quick setup guide this would make like easier as I cannot see anywhere about using your kubernetes appliance in vcenter. I have attached a screenshot of the log in sunstone when the VM reached BOOT failure status.
Hi Ben,
Did you follow these steps?
Best,
