问题


Although vmdk disk format is supported by ec2-import-instance tool, every time I try to run the command on a vmdk file, I get the following error:

    ERROR: File uses unsupported compression algorithm 0

I invoke the tool in the following format:

    ec2-import-instance -f vmdk -o <ACCESS KEY> -w <SECRET KEY> <VMDK file>

I am using ec2 tools version 1.6.6.1.


回答1:


Looks like it's got nothing to do with "compression algorithm" but instead more to do with supported vmdk formats as documented in http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/VMImportPrerequisites.html




回答2:


ERROR: File uses unsupported compression algorithm 0. The VMDK was created using OVA format instead of OVF format.

Resolution

Create the VMDK in OVF format.




回答3:


I fixed this for myself by exporting my VM from VirtualBox(where I created it). This exported its into OVF format(I had to change the default exention from OVA to OVF). Then ec2-import-instance worked.

This put me on the right track when converting to RAW using qemu-img did not work.

This ec2 migration tool works with both VMware workstation and ESX http://cloudscraper.migrate2iaas.com/ Just run it from your running server.




回答5:


I have experienced the same issue. My solution: the StarWind V2V converter to convert VMDK to RAW (-f RAW) or VHD (-f VHD).
