How to create virtual disk for DomU on a specific repository
Sometimes, you could be want to create virtual disk on a specific repository. Such as the root repository is going to be run out of space but other repositories have a large of space left. Prior to Oracle VM 2.2, ovm manager doesn't support to create a virtual disk in other bigger repository than the current one which vm resides. Have the following workaround to fix this issue:
1. on the ovm server, go to the bigger repository
2. goto shareDisk directory
3. dd if=/dev/zero of=bigdisk.img if=1M count=10000 (say you want to create a 10G disk)
4. goto ovm manager --> "Resources" -->"Shared Virtual Disks" --> click "Import" button to import this share disk,
2. goto shareDisk directory
3. dd if=/dev/zero of=bigdisk.img if=1M count=10000 (say you want to create a 10G disk)
4. goto ovm manager --> "Resources" -->"Shared Virtual Disks" --> click "Import" button to import this share disk,
