Re: [Libvir] what is virt-install doing differently?

Notice that the '(vcpus 3)' bit is duplicated twice in the
SEXPR that
xm sends - once at top level and once within (image). It looks like
when creating HVM guests you need both set to get it to work correctly.
Frankly this is utterly insane - XenD should simply copy the top level
value for vcpus into the (image) block as needed.
Since we need compatability with all Xen 3.0.x series codebases, it looks
like we'll need to do a tiny bit of magic in libvirt to also send the
vcpus stuff twice for HVM. Urgh :-(
Ugly, I agree, but I'm glad you found it...
Send me a version to test if you'd like. I'm updating the RHEL5 BZ to
reference this conversation, hopefully we can still get a fix in
there.
