Hello,

I am having an issue with libvirt in my Nimbus cloud setup. When I use the Nimbus VM creation test scripts on a VMM node (using libvirt), the VM is created without a problem. However, when I attempt to create a new VM using Nimbus (which then tries to create the VM on the VMM node), I encounter the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./nimbus-cloud-client-022/bin/cloud-client.sh --run --name testimage --hours 1

Launching workspace.

Workspace Factory Service:

Waiting for updates.

I checked /var/log/libvirtd.log, and found the following:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2014-01-31 20:48:39.311+0000: 2888: info : libvirt version: 0.9.8
2014-01-31 20:48:39.311+0000: 2888: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1006 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know if this is relevant, but I also noticed this warning when creating the VM through the test scripts mentioned above:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2014-01-31 05:41:44.018+0000: 1351: warning : qemuDomainObjTaint:1134 : Domain id=1 name='control-test' uuid=95f2d398-6b98-5359-7597-b0f596aae996 is tainted: high-privileges
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I assumed this was a permissions issue, but I double checked and everything seems in order. I did not have this issue on my previous Nimbus cloud setup.

Thanks,
Josh
