Export Appliances - VMDK Appears Broken

Post by trevoro »

Hi,

I'm on Mac OSX Snow Leopard using VirtualBox 3.0.8. Whenever I export a virtual machine by using the Export Appliance wizard, the appliance is broken and will not run in QEMU or KVM. When I export a disk manually to RAW format from VDI, and then convert it to VMDK using qemu-img or kvm-img it works.

Has anyone successfully exported an appliance in VirtualBox and used it with other Virtualization platforms?

Thanks

-Trevor
