Hi, I am trying to start a node using libvirt on ESX hypervisor. Before starting I am performing the following steps: 1) vol-create datastore1 /local/new_volume.xml (Creating a volume in pool) 2) define /local/esxdomain.xml (Defining a node) 3) start MyNode (Starting a node) I tried to get the status of my node and it is showing *running *but I am not able to ping my node (as it is in network). I later got the console of my node and found out that my node is not even getting started. It says "Operating System Not Found". I guess this is because my vmdk image file is not getting copied and the first command is just placing two files .vmdk and *-flat.vmdk (these are dummy files I guess). But it is not placing my original .vmdk files. How to place the original vmdk file in datastore. If I place it using scp command then libvirt pops out a message saying "Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault". How to resolve this error. I am pasting my xml files below. Any help is appreciated... :) *new_volume.xml:* *<volume> <name>test/MyNode.vmdk</name> <allocation>0</allocation> <capacity unit='G'>3</capacity> <target> <path>/local/vmdk/MyNode.vmdk</path> <format type='vmdk'/> </target> </volume>* *esxdomain.xml: * *<domain type='vmware'> <name>test</name> <memory>1048576</memory> <currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <console>/dev/console</console> <os> <type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type> </os> <devices> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='[datastore1] test/MyNode.vmdk'/> <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='lsilogic'/> <!--controller type='scsi' index='0'/--> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:50:56:0f:01:01'/> <source bridge='VM Network'/> </interface> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:50:56:0f:01:02'/> <source bridge='dummyPortGroup1'/> </interface> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:50:56:0f:01:03'/> <source bridge='dummyPortGroup2'/> </interface> </devices> </domain>* Regards, Varun
