       package <xva-file> <file> [ ,<file>... ]

       disk-export <xva-disk> <disk-image>

       disk-import <xva-disk> <disk-image>

       xva-image  is  a tool to generate disk images from Citrix XenServer .xva VM images as well as to generate
       .xva VM images from raw disks and the according ova.xml files.

       Extract the XVA file:

           $ mkdir my-virtual-machine
           $ tar -xf my-virtual-machine.xva -C my-virtual-machine
           $ chmod -R 755 my-virtual-machine

       Extract one of the disks:

           $ xva-img -p disk-export my-virtual-machine/Ref\:1/ disk.raw

       Splice the disk file (remove all files in the folder, required not to make any unnecessary mistakes):

           $ rm -rf my-virtual-machine/Ref\:1/*
           $ xva-img -p disk-import my-virtual-machine/Ref1\:/ disk.raw

       Rebuild the XVA file:

           $ xva-img -p package my-virtual-machine-fixed.xva my-virtual-machine/ova.xml my-virtual-machine/Ref\:1/

       Convert raw image to qcow2:

           $ qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 disk.raw disk.qcow2
