QEMU disk image utility for Windows. It is used for converting, creating and consistency checking of various virtual disk formats. It’s compatible with Hyper-V, KVM, VMware, VirtualBox and Xen virtualization solutions.This build has been optimized for Windows Server (x64), including Windows Nano Server.

Using dd command to create.iso image of entire disk OR converting.raw/qcow2 to.iso? I have an Ubuntu droplet on DigitalOcean with a size of 50GB. /mixcraft-6-free-download.html. I have booted into the recovery and mounted a DO volume drive. Qemu-img convert -f qcow2 myImage.qcow2 -O vmdk myNewImage.vmdk This command gives me a vmdk image which is only VMWare Workstation compatible. Therefore, in order to make it ESXi compatible I have to use the vmkfstools with the following command. Vmkfstools -i myImage.vmdk outputName.vmdk -d thin.
Convert a QCOW2, RAW, VMDK or VDI image to VHDXRev 10 installer with usb loader.
qemu-img.exe convert source.img-Ovpc-osubformat=dynamic dest.vhd |
Subformat can be either “dynamic” or “fixed” for VHD (vpc) or VHDX.
Note: use the fixed VHD subformat for Azure, the conversion will automatically take care of the required 1MB virtual size alignment.
