Re: [libvirt] Fail to import available VM image
Hi Jun,
I assume you haven't changed libvirt default URI, it may be a issue,
I want to know whether it works for you if you explicitly specify
--connect qemu:///system with virt-install? I think a root reason
probably is your disk image location, the log said it can't find
storage volume, if you put img.winp under the /var/lib/libvirt/images,
then give a disk absolute path to virt-install, Does it work for you?
Regards,
Alex

It works well with python-virtinst-0.600.0-5.el6 for me. if you may attach
your
.virtinst/virt-install.log, it should be helpful for debugging.
yes, below is the log content.
also, one thing i dont understand: why it says "Hypervisor name is
'vbox'" in the log? i dont specify any hypervisor name in my command,
and i want to use KVM for my image.
thanks.
