[libvirt-users] Error while adding volume through virsh
Hi, I was trying to add volume...I got one xml snippet and I modified it according to my node configuration: < volume> <name>testNode/cluster.vmdk </name> <allocation>0 </allocation> <capacity unit='G'>2<capacity> </volume> Now when I executed "virsh vol-create datastore1 /local/new_volume.xml" one error message came saying: "Error: Failed to create volume from /local/new_volume.xml" Error: internal error: Creation of raw volumes is not supported" Can anyone tell me what is going wrong here? Regards, Varun

What type of pool are you trying to add this volume to? This may be a case of no one having implemented the volume creation for your particular pool backend yet. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
I am trying to add this volume to ESX pool. I have ESX server and got connected to it. When I listed the pool the data store of ESX server was getting listed down. So I was adding this volume to that. I want to create a domain but for that Matthias replied that I have to add volume which will put my .vmdk fole there.

virsh vol-create without -c option might connecto to the wrong hypervisor. Try specifing the connection uri. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
Yes Matthias I am connecting to ESX uri first and then I am adding volume to my ESX data store. On 15 Aug 2013 20:30, "Matthias Bolte" <matthias.bolte@googlemail.com> wrote:

Hi, could you try specifying the format as well?
< volume> <name>testNode/cluster.vmdk </name> <allocation>0 </allocation> <capacity unit='G'>2<capacity>
<target> <format type='vmdk'> </target>
</volume>

Hi Ján, Thanks a lot for the suggestion. It worked and volume is added to the datastore. Now if I try to start the node it gives an error saying: Error: internal error: Could not start domain: FileNotFound - File [datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk was not found." But .vmdk file exist at this location. What is going wrong here can anyobe plz suggest. Below is my xml: <domain type='vmware'> <name>testNode</name> <uuid>50115e16-9bdc-49d7-f171-53c4d7f91710</uuid> <memory>1048576</memory> <currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type> </os> <devices> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='[datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk'/> <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='scsi' index='0'/> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:50:56:25:48:c7'/> <source bridge='VM Network'/> </interface> </devices> </domain> On 15 Aug 2013 21:16, "Ján Tomko" <jtomko@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi, The below error got resolved. Now while starting my esx domain I got the following error: "Error: internal error: Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault - Failed to start the virtual machine. " Is this a bug?
