What Do I Do If the System Disk Capacity in a VHD Image File Exceeds the One I Have Specified on the Management Console When I Use This File to Register a Private Image?

The possible causes may be:
  1. You have specified a small value.

    Check the system disk capacity in the VHD image file. Specify a value no less than this value when you use the VHD image file to register an image.

  2. After being converted using qemu-img or a similar tool, the VHD's virtual disk size becomes smaller than the actual system disk size. For details, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1490611.

    Run the following command to check the VHD image file information:

    [xxxx@xxxxx test]$ qemu-img info 2g.vhd
image: 2g.vhd
file format: vpc
virtual size: 2.0G (2147991552 bytes)
disk size: 8.0K
cluster_size: 2097152

    The virtual size is converted from the actual size (unit: byte) to an integer in GB. After the conversion, the output virtual size 2 GB is smaller than the input actual size 2.0004 GB (2147991552 bytes). You need to specify an integer larger than the actual size 2.0004 GB on the management console.
