VM (with all installed software) to a QCOW2 file

Community Support VM Configuration / Contextualization

Hi,
I’m using OpenNebula 5.12.0.1.
I’ve successfully created some Virtual Machines (Ubuntu, Kali, etc) for a Cybersecurity project.
The VM-Instances are now setted up with specific software, network settings etc.

Is it possible to export an already existing VM (with all installed software) to a QCOW2 file?

Hello @gpdonnarumma,

You can do two different things:

  • Save as template, in order to have a new template and a new image.
  • Disk save as, in order to create a new image from the current disk.

Best,
Álex.

Hi @ahuertas ,
thank you for your reply.

Where I can find this command?
Is it possible to do this operation using the Web Interface?

Hello @gpdonnarumma,

The commands are onevm save and onevm disk-saveas, they are also in Sunstone, in the VM tab info.

Best,
Álex.
