How do I Install device42 xen/kvm appliance if import existing disk image option is missing?

Raw image for Xen/KVM has been compressed using bzip2. Once you get the file on kvm host, you can issue bunzip2 <filename> to uncompress the file.

Once you unzip the downloaded raw image, create a new virtual machine. Choose Network Boot(we would add disk later). Please make sure you don't have some sort of automated network boot enabled for this machine. You would not see option to Import existing disk image.

Choose Linux & Ubuntu 12.04 for Operating system type and version. If you don't see the option for 12.04, choose the latest version avaialble(as shown above).

Choose 512MB RAM and 1 vCPU.

Choose your virtualization type from Advanced options and i686 as architecture and you are ready to go.

Details > Boot Options > Uncheck Network(PXE).

• Power on, if not already on.
• On the console, configure IP and choose the settings you desire.
