How can I create a vmware disk with XEN?

Question

I found that in XEN I can use vmware-disk images.
But can I actually create such a disk with pure XEN-means?

I want to create a server with XEN and move the corresponding disk later to VMWARE (in a simple case this is just a data disk).

I currently run XEN that comes with SLES10 SP4.

Answer

qemu-img is part of the virt-utils. They are part of SLES11…

You can also use “VMware Converter” to convert your xen disk to vmware format.
