Using QCOW2 instead of VMDK #2

Hi Giles

The scripts that you started with use a VMDK, which I know that you obtain by means not available to mere mortals. The only way that someone outside of Cisco can obtain a VMDK is to extract it from the OVA. by untar'ing the OVA.

Trying that VMDK, though, results in this error:

./XRe
qemu-system-x86_64: -hda ./XRe.vmdk: VMDK version 3 must be read only

I seem to have more success with using the distributed QCOW2 image instead of the VMDK.

Regards

Nathan
