Hi Stefan,

qemu-img

qemu-img version 0.15.50, Copyright (c) 2004-2008 Fabrice Bellard

I haven't got this to work on any version - I was trying this version

because of the expanded list of sub format versions - I thought one of them

might be accepted.

That is a qemu.git/master tree and includes Fam's vmdk enhancements.

You could try the other subformats:

$ qemu-img convert -O vmdk -o subformat=monolithicFlat image.iso image.vmdk

or:

$ qemu-img convert -O vmdk -o subformat=twoGbMaxExtentSparse image.iso

image.vmdk

Tried them both - no luck same issue seen.

Which version of vSphere are you using?

Stefan
