我们通常会保留一些不同类型的操作系统的模板虚拟机，这些操作系统已经更新并“准备就绪”，并在部署新机器时使用它们实现全局自动化。我希望能够使用Prism Central映像管理将这些模板全局部署为qcow2映像。在模板VM更新后，我想将它们自动转换为qcow2图像(已经通过“qemu-img convert”命令实现了这一功能)，然后将qcow2图像导入Prism Central的图像存储库，以分发到所有站点。最后一步我还没弄明白该怎么做。显然，我需要某种API或CLI来自动化这一点，但我发现的是如何使用PC中的GUI来做到这一点。我错过什么了吗?

    We normally keep a handful of template\u00a0VM\u2019s\u00a0with\u00a0different type of OS that are updated and \u201cready\u00a0to go\u201d and use these for global automation when deploying new machines. I would like a way to deploy these templates as qcow2 images globally using the Prism Central image management.\u00a0After a\u00a0template VM\u00a0are updated, I would like to automate them beeing converted to qcow2 images (already got\u00a0this working with \u201cqemu-img convert\u201d command) and then import the qcow2 image\u00a0to the Image repository in Prism Central to be distributed to all sites. The last step I have not managed to figure out how to do. Obviously I need some kind of API or CLI to automate this but all I find is how to do this using the\u00a0GUI in PC. Did I miss something?\u00a0<\/p>","quoteUsername":"Tedevil","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">

    嗨 @Tedevil

    从你的问题中澄清一些观点:

    1 -你集群上的管理程序是AHV?

    2 -是否在同一个集群上创建主镜像/虚拟机?

    在模板VM更新后，我想将它们自动转换为qcow2图像(已经通过“qemu-img convert”命令实现了这一功能)，然后将qcow2图像导入Prism Central的图像存储库，以分发到所有站点

    根据上面的介绍，您是否使用了其他任何管理程序/平台来构建这些映像?

    当集群虚拟化环境为AHV时，将这些虚拟机创建在同一个集群上，则可以使用acli为了将一个vdisk转换为一个映像，它将被发布在映像存储库中，以部署其他虚拟机。

    Hi @Tedevil<\/user-mention>\u00a0<\/p>

    To clarify some points from your question:<\/p>

    1 - the hypervisor on your cluster is AHV?<\/p>

    2 - Do you create the master image \/ vm on the same cluster?<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    After a\u00a0template VM\u00a0are updated, I would like to automate them beeing converted to qcow2 images (already got\u00a0this working with \u201cqemu-img convert\u201d command) and then import the qcow2 image\u00a0to the Image repository in Prism Central to be distributed to all sites\u00a0<\/p> <\/blockquote>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Per above, are you using any other hypervisor \/ platform to build these images?\u00a0<\/p>

    if the cluster hypervisor is AHV and you are creating these VMs on the same cluster, You can use acli<\/code> to convert a vdisk to a image and it will be published in the image repository for deploying other virtual machines.<\/p>

    这只计划用于AHV集群。PC的镜像管理只支持AHV。模板位于AHV集群中。我看到了“acli图像”。create"命令在CVM上，但这只会在本地PE上创建映像，对吗?你建议如何将这个映像添加到PC上的映像管理中?

    This is planned for only AHV clusters. The image managment in PC only support AHV. The template sits\u00a0on a AHV cluster.\u00a0I seen the \u201cacli image.create\" command on the CVM but this would only create the image on the local PE right? How would you suggest this image is added to the image management on PC?<\/p>","quoteUsername":"Tedevil","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">

    @Tedevil谢谢您的回复。

    一旦您通过。创建了一个现有VM的映像acli在集群上，您可以通过以下方式将这些图像导入Prism Central:

    PC >虚拟基础设施>镜像>导入镜像

    你可以通过acli:

    @Tedevil<\/user-mention>\u00a0 Thank you for your reply.<\/p>

    Once you have created an image of an existing VM via acli<\/code> on the cluster,\u00a0you can import those images on Prism Central via :\u00a0<\/p>

    PC > Virtual Infrastructure > Images > Import Images<\/p>

    You can read about creating images via acli<\/code> at:<\/p>
