How to Convert OVA to ISO Image

Описание: How to Convert OVA to ISO Image

Converting an OVA (Open Virtual Appliance) file to an ISO image typically involves extracting the VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) from the OVA and then converting it to an ISO. First, extract the OVA archive using a tool like 7-Zip. This will reveal the VMDK file, OVF descriptor, and other related files. Next, use a disk imaging tool such as `qemu-img` or `VBoxManage` to convert the VMDK to a raw disk image format. For example, using `qemu-img`, you could use the command `qemu-img convert -f vmdk input.vmdk -O raw output.img`. Finally, utilize a tool like `mkisofs` (or `genisoimage`) to create an ISO image from the raw image file. The command would look something like `mkisofs -o output.iso -b output.img -c boot.catalog output.img`. This process essentially repackages the virtual disk into a bootable ISO format.
