Converting virtual disk from RAW into Qcow2

You can convert the following objects into Qcow2

  • A VM image from the RAW storage;
  • The whole RAW storage.

Conversion is performed only from the console of the cluster master node. Stop virtual machines before you start.

Conversion is supported for the following types of storages:

  • File storages
  • LVM
  • NFS
