Hello, I am trying to create virtual machines on a VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1331820 with Virsh 1.1.4 on Fedora 19. I see the following. Can anyone show me where I am going wrong or perhaps suggest a more sensible way of spawning virtual machines on ESXi with libvirt. Thanks, Andrew [aholway@libvirt ~]$ virsh --connect esx://10.51.3.59/?no_verify=1 virsh # vol-list --pool "datastore1 (1)" Name Path ----------------------------------------- VM001/VM001.vmdk [datastore1 (1)] VM001/VM001.vmdk VM002/VM002.vmdk [datastore1 (1)] VM002/VM002.vmdk virsh # vol-clone --pool "datastore1 (1)" VM001/VM001.vmdk VM003/VM003.vmdk Vol VM003/VM003.vmdk cloned from VM001/VM001.vmdk virsh # define domain.xml Domain VM003 defined from domain.xml virsh # start VM003 error: Failed to start domain VM003 error: internal error: Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault - Unable to allocate a PCI SCSI adapter.
