You can use the following virsh command: vol-create-as --pool ds --name test/disk.vmdk --capacity 10737418240 This will create a 10 GB VMDK image named test/disk.vmdk in the datastore ds. You need to replace ds with the actual name of a datastore on your ESX server. You can get a list of the available datastores with the virsh command pool-list. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
