Import/upload OEL 5.7(ovf) to amazon ec2
Dear Legends,
Proud to be joining in Linux forums. I have been trying to convert Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 64 bit which is in ovf format to vmdk. Basically my requirement would be importing KVM/PV-Grub enabled Oracle Linux into Amazon ec2. It would be more helpful that any one else can help me in this import. Previously I tried to import fresh vmdk converted to raw using qemu but it failed due to kernel panic and so many errors similar to it. So now I'm trying to import using ovf which would be already a KVM/PV-Grub enabled. Thanks, Karthik |
These may offer some guidance.
