Hi guys, I hope you can help me on this issue with kvm/libvirt:
using this command to install a kvm virtual machine:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
--name p3k0401 \
--ram 2048 \
--file //dev/VolGroup01/p3k0401logvol \
--accelerate \
-s 10 \
--nographics \
--hvm \
--location='http://10.1.4.80'
I get:
Starting install...
Retrieving file vmlinuz... | 1.8 MB 00:00
Retrieving file initrd.img... | 7.1 MB 00:00
ERROR internal error Domain p3k0401 didn't show up
Domain installation may not have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start p3k0401'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.
