I am totally lost in this UID/GID mapping. Maybe all this stuff is just beyond my competence.
For now, I am writing a basic mydomain.xml file following these 3 wiki: LXC container from libvirt.org[1] Linux containers guide from Rad Hat 7[2] getting start with lxc from P.Berrange [3]
This is the basic .xml file:
<domain type='lxc'> <name>dahlia</name> <memory>409600</memory> <os> <type arch='x86_64'>exec</type>
NB, you want 'exe' not 'exec'
<init>/bin/init</init> * systemd is default and PID1 is init on my Arch box <vcpu>4</vcpu> </os> <devices> <emulator>/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_lxc</emulator> * it is the path on Arch <console type='pty'/> </devices> </domain>
Unfortunately :
gabx@hortensia ➤➤ /drawer/vm # virsh define dahlia.xml error: Failed to define domain from dahlia.xml error: internal error: unexpected domain type lxc, expecting one of these: qemu, kqemu, kvm, xen
What is wrong ?
You didn't specify any URI for the hypervisor so libvirt will have guessed on. From the error it sounds like it guessed QEMU instead of LXC. Either use virsh -c lxc:///, or set LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=lxc:/// or edit your libvirt.conf to set a default http://libvirt.org/uri.html#URI_libvirt Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
