[libvirt-users] Disk not bootable from yesterday resolved
by David Brown 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Just an update and a thanks. The not bootable issue I was having yesterday ended up being for some odd reason the disk type in the domain define xml file had been switched to the disk being "raw" rather than qcow2 format. When I changed:<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> to <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> It booted without issue. I'm not clear how that got changed on the original domain. It was in use without issue about a week ago. :/ I then ran the clone again and it cloned fine, but had the boot issueagain. I checked the cloned domain.xml file and again it said typeraw. I changed it again to qcow2 and it booted fine. Bug? Shouldn't it keep the type in the config the same? Anyway, thanks for help and especially the quick responses! Dave

[libvirt-users] problem installing libvirt from source
by Lars Nordin 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

I'm trying to compile and install libvirt-0.9.0 on Ubuntu v10.04. The make and install went fine and I don't see any errors but there isn't a libvirt directory created in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages. I specified configure --with-vmware -with-esx (and later --with-python), then make, then sudo make install. >From config.log: prefix = /usr/local exec_prefix = ${prefix} pyexecdir = ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.6/dist-packages pythondir = ${prefix}/lib/python2.6/dist-packages pkgpyexecdir = ${pyexecdir}/libvirt pkgpythondir = ${pythondir}/libvirt

It says: booting from hard disk Booting failed device not bootable FATAL: failed to boot from device. Or something very similar.

[libvirt-users] virt-image issue
by Zvi Dubitzky 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi Does anybody work with the virt-image utility. - I do not see where/how one specifies the pre-defned image or the CD iso image to produce the image from - what is the .xml file requested for ? I guess it is the output xml file I just used the command with an existing .xml file (thought the utility will modify it according to the specified flags) but got the error message : "ERROR Cannot parse 'vmTest3.xml': Root element is not 'image" Any idea what is missing ? thanks Zvi Dubitzky Email:dubi@il.ibm.com

by David Brown 27 Apr '11

Hi, Not sure if this is the right mailing list, but... I have a Linux VM (CentOS 5.4) VM. I cloned it with virt-clone, but the clone isn't bootable. When I attempt to boot it says: Booting from hard diskBoot failed: not a bootable diskFATAL: No bootable device The clone was made with the following command: virt-clone -o centos -n centosclone -f /path/to/new/image.img I've attempted it several times and get the same result. Has anyone seen this or know how to resolve it? Thanks,Dave

[libvirt-users] Adding more disks...
by Dale Amon 26 Apr '11

I need a VM with about 6-8 qcow2 disk images, but it seems to only allow 4 disks on the ide, like the real hardware. What lines do you need to add on to the xml definition file to get hde, hdf, hdg, etc?

PK PS: sorry for my poor english

[libvirt-users] Setup Mulitple VM's
by ssaleh＠nrln.us 25 Apr '11

I have a small public IP block (/29) I'd like to populate with VM's from a single physical box running CentOS/5. I'd like to get some thoughts on the best way to setup networking to support this. I'm OK with setting up the virtual hosts. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA...
