Hi Everyone, I have been same problem. My workaround was export VM by CVM after import image via Prism Central. Is there other solution?



Follow my steps:



login any CVM



acli vm.list



acli vm.get



We need the vmdisk_uuid information of VM.



After



qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 -c nfs://127.0.0.1/Images/.acropolis/vmdisk/baf7b613-7f41-4f74-b600-d27992a0030d nfs://127.0.0.1/Images/Centos7-Base.qcow2



Finally



We need import this image via Prism Central In url option you put path. (nfs://



Thanks,
