XAPI - OpenStack utilities

List VHD files on your XenServer host

This command will display the name of the virtual machines, and the disks attached to it. Templates, machines with non-vhd disks will be filtered out. You can use the output to export those files to the cloud.

Upload VHD files to OpenStack

• You will need the appropriate XenAPI Host plugins on your XenServer host.

• Select a vhd to upload with the list tool.

• Create an image on glance (assuming your environment is set up):

  glance image-create --name upload_trial
  

And check the id of the new image. The status of the image should be "Queued"

• Upload the contents:

  upload_vhd root xapipass https://yourxenserver ks.user ks.password \
  tenant_name http://yourkeystone/v2.0 vhd_uuid image_uuid
  

Now your bytes are in glance, the status of the image should be "Active"
