I saw a similar thread on this, but doing the exact steps in that thread, does not work for me. I want to upload a Linux image (which is qcow2) after converting to VHD image, to Azure.
I converted the qcow2 image to raw:
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw myimage.qcow2 myimage.img
Next, my raw image is an exact multiple of 1M, so I don't need to resize it.
ls -l myimage.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user11 2313158656 Mar 5 00:18 myimage.img
<2313158656 is exact multiple of 1M>
Then I converted the raw to VHD on a Ubuntu VM which has qemu 2.6.1 installed, using the force option:
qemu-img convert -f raw -o subformat=fixed,force_size -O vpc myimage.img myimage.vhd
Now, the qemu-img seems to have added 512 bytes to the image, hence I still can't upload in Azure.
ls -l myimage.vhd
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 2313159168 Mar 5 00:39 myimage.vhd
Uploading this VM to azure gives this error:
The VHD for disk 'clid01b1a17d9ec0eb1-os-1488675181694' with blob https://vmxstorage.blob.core.windows.net/vhddisks/vFPC-20170216.vhd has an unsupported virtual size of 2206.4765625 MB. The size must be a whole number in (MBs).
How do I create a VM with the correct size of multiple of an MB?
Thanks Anjali
