Run the following commands on VICTORIA to extract the OVM files:

cd /OVS/running_pool/OVM_EM12R3/

disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EM12R3/System.img,xvda,w',

'file:/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EM12R3/em.img,xvdb,w']

Change the following line so that the name of the machine matches the subdirectory from where the machine is launched:

name = 'OVM_EM'
