Are you running cimtest as root? Also, if you run cimtest with the -d option, do you see any additional debug? One thing to try is to make sure you can define and start a network pool using virsh. You can do the following: sudo virsh net-start default This will start the existing network you have. This should succeed without any errors. If that works, you can put the following XML in a file: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <network> <name>cimtest-networkpool</name> <forward/> <bridge forwardDelay="0" name="testbridge" stp="on"/> <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0"> <dhcp> <range end="192.168.122.254" start="192.168.122.2"/> </dhcp> </ip> </network> Then call the following commands: sudo virsh net-create filename If this is successful, you can destroy the network pool using: sudo virsh net-destroy cimtest-networkpool If all of this works for you, you can try running cimtest again. Let us know if you hit any errors. -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center kaitlin(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com
