Centos 7 Image Import failure - No '/dev/log' or 'logger' included for syslog logging"

[PabloG]

hi,

I am trying to import a Centos 7 virtual Disk using 

gcloud compute images import import1  --source-file gs://my-image/disk1.vmdk --os centos-7

but I am getting an error that the /dev/log is not there:

...

I have the same image runnning in a VirtualBox and /dev/log is there:

[deploy@localhost deploy]$ ls -lrt /dev/log

Hi Pablo,

Before trying to import the Virtual Disk, did you make sure that the disk does not have any incompatibilities? As explained in the attached article, I would suggest using the precheck tool to make sure that it is compatible.

If you have already done this before trying to import the disk, you can migrate the Virtual Machine using Cloud Endure as well. Here are step by step instructions on how to migrate a Virtual Machine into GCE using Cloud Endure.
