qcow2 image for KVM/qemu?

[ajn...@gmail.com]

Is there a plan to provide a qcow2 image for KVM/qemu?

Manually converting ova to qcow2 is not without issues...

> tar xvf MyAppliance.ova
> qemu-img convert -O qcow2 MyAppliance-disk1.vmdk MyAppliance.qcow2

Doesn't work and KVM/qemu machine boot falls into Dracut Emergency Shell

Hi ajn,
ova is provided just to help people with less knowledge experiment with the product. This is not our mainline, as it provides much inferior performance comparing to bare metal.
For someone with reasonable Linux knowledge It is very easy to get the Trex code from Github, and compile it on any machine type you like (provided that a DPDK support exists).
