19.4.1. The Image Uploader Tool

The engine-image-uploader command allows you to list export storage domains and upload virtual machine images in OVF format to an export storage domain and have them automatically recognized in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

Note

The image uploader only supports gzip-compressed OVF files created by Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.
The archive contains images and master directories in the following format:
|-- images
|   |-- [Image Group UUID]
|        |--- [Image UUID (this is the disk image)]
|        |--- [Image UUID (this is the disk image)].meta
|-- master
|   |---vms
|       |--- [UUID]
|             |--- [UUID].ovf
