Overview
If you want to use a private BMS image, you can use an external image file to create one. This document describes the private image creation procedure (including creating a VM and installing the OS, software, and drivers on the VM) and uses multiple OSs as examples to provide instructions for you to create a private image. You can also install software as needed to customize your private image.
After you have created an image file, you need to register it on the cloud platform. For details, see Creating a Private Image from an External Image File. After successful registration, you can select this private image when creating a BMS.
Image Creation Process
The image creation process is as follows:
Procedure |
Description |

Making preparations |
Before you create an image, prepare:
|
Creating a VM |
Use virt-manager to create a VM. |
Installing an OS on the VM |
Install an OS on the VM as required. |
Configuring the VM environment |
Software packages need to be uploaded to the VM. Therefore, you need to configure the VM environment so that the VM can connect to the Internet. |
Configuring the VM |
Linux:
Windows:
|
Stopping the VM and obtaining the image |
Stop the VM and obtain the image file. If the generated image file is too large, you can compress it. |
Converting the image format |
For BMS, the image format can only be ZVHD2. After obtaining an image file, convert its format to ZVHD2. |

When you download an SDI driver, ensure that the driver matches your kernel version.
You can run the uname -r command to query the OS kernel version.
