Step 1: Open Command Prompt (Powershell) on your Windows computer. We'll get started with Windows computers by converting ISO file to VMDK. It can be downloaded for free since it's open source tool. Convert Bootable ISO File to Virtual Disk VHD/VMDK on Windowsīefore proceeding, make sure you have the VirtualBox software already installed on your computer. Here is how to use Command line tool on Windows 10 and MacOS. You can convert:Īfter the conversion, you can directly boot the operating system from VHD/VMDK. You can consider the pre conversion way to directly convert an ISO file into an VHD/ VMDK using VirtualBox. While you can still use the ISO file to directly start up any OS on virtual disk image like VirtualBox, VMWare, if you do not want to install ISO file, converting it to VDI format (Virtual desktop infrastructure) will be the best idea. ISO file is the most widely-used format for OS installation. This tutorial will be both for Mac and Windows computers. In this guide today, we'll walk you through how to convert a bootable ISO file into VHD or VMDK using Command line. It's very helpful, especially when you want to customize the image file or use it for testing. The process of converting is also more difficult than booting Virtual from the ISO file, instead of using an xx.iso file and then converting it to a Virtual disk. If you frequently use VirtualBox, one of the best free virtual machine software, then you should know how to convert an ISO file into a VirtualBox hard disk (VHD). Remember that in convert command (red) must be your vmdk filename! cd/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.1.4/ /opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 ACS-disk1.vmdk hda.By Petty Madison | Last Updated: Aug.
From EVE CLI go to your newly created ACS folder and convert uploaded vmdk file to qcow2 format.
Using WinSCP or FileZilla via SCP or SSH connect to your EVE and upload exported vmdk (step 1.4) file to this directory. Connect to your EVE via SSH and Create ACS image folder in the EVE. Second phase: Convert vmdk file to qcow2 format and load it in EVE.Ģ.1. Use export VM as OVF format, it will export VM with vmdk file. Export created VM machine to to your PC to obtain. When your newly created ACS VM will prompt screen below, DO NOT ENTER setup but SHUTDOWN or POWER OFF VM!ġ.4.
Using ESXi or VM workstation create VM machine, following VM setup steps given in the link below.ġ.3. Download ACS ISO image, use your CCO account.ġ.2. qcow2 formatįirst phase: Create VM Ware ACS VM and obtain vmdk image.ġ.1. Plan your EVE HDD and be sure you have plenty of space on it.įirst: Create vmdk image on VM ware ESXi or VM workstation It will be for any new lab where you will setup ACS node. Initial base/default image will be approx 4GbĪfter you will setup it in the lab, it will take approx 5Gb extra HDD space. Versions this guide is based on: EVE Image Foldername
