Re: [CentOS-virt] Virt-install Error on Centos 5.4 64bit and kvm
Hi,
Here are the packages I have at the moment, which are proven to work for me:
kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5
kvm-83-164.el5
kmod-kvm-83-164.el5
etherboot-roms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos
etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos
Cheers,

Right, and there is a bit more about kvm-qemu (correct) versus qemu (incorrect) as explained by Fabian Arrotin in this bug report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4111 Remove the installed qemu and install kvm-qemu-img and try again.

Do you have selinux enabled ? As far as I know the location for images
is restricted to /var/lib/libvirt/images by default.

Re: [CentOS-virt] Virt-install
Version number. It's 0.5.3-10. Current version on lfarkas's repository is 0.7.0-4. I use it (0.7.0) for a month now, I think, and have not seen any issues so far. I also use kvm-84 from his repository and I have mot seen any problems except I am not able to connect with virtsh to qemu:///system, from root, just qemu:///test. All clients are CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6, but I must keep virtual host (CentOS 5.3) on 2.6.18-92.1.22 kernel because of issues with MB with AMD chipset (I was going to report this but never got the time to prepare all the info needed).

My suggestion is to go install http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/lfarkas.repo in your /etc/yumconfig.d folder and run "yum install virt-manager" and maybe few more needed packages. It is GUI for management of virtual machines. It is under the Red Hat's wing and I used it to easily set ALL parameters for install.

[CentOS-virt] virt-install error messages
I get two errors when doing a fully automated kickstart install with virt- install: > libvir: QEMU error : connect: /var/run/libvirt/qemud-sock: Connection refused > libvir: warning : Failed to find the network: Is the daemon running ? that seems to be harmless and is caused by libvirtd being shut off. Then I get: > Starting install... > libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: > Retrieving CentOS...194 kB 00:00 > Retrieving vmlinuz... 2.0 MB 00:00 > Retrieving initrd.img...5.0 MB 00:00 > libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: > Creating domain... 0 B 00:00 > Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect > to the console to complete the installation process. The "GET operation failed:" error seems to be harmless, too, but it happens whether libvirt is running or not. From googling around it looks like this is a pretty standard error. Could this be a bug in virt-install? Apart from that I notice that the virt-install installation seems to be more ressource hungry than starting a kickstart installation with virt-manager. While I don't recognize much of the virt-manager installation performance-wise, the virt-install installation clearly drains on the CPU, the system reaches 100% CPU utilization during the first one or two minutes and that is noticable at least on the desktop.

I managed to fix the problem, but I'm still confused: I don't know why I needed to do this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cd /var/www/mirror/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os [EMAIL PROTECTED] ln -s /srv/intranet/iso-images/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/ . in order to get virt-install to work with my local copy of the Fedora 8 DVD. I definitely don't need to do this for CentOS 5 or CentOS 4 domUs. FYI: /var/www/mirror/fedora/linux is a symlink that points to the real install tree, /srv/intranet/iso-images/fedora/linux. Maybe this is the reason why the http location for the virt-install failed. If so, I don't understand why.

Kai's right the CD/DVD repo has a different directory structure then the HTTP repo. Not a problem when using 'yum' as it finds out the structure from 'repodata', but for clients that want to directly access the data it can throw them for a loop. -Ross __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

I've done more testing and a http install works when I use this: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/ but, fails when I use my internal mirror. My internal mirror is just a rsync of the Fedora 8 DVD. As far as I can tell, it's exactly the same as what all the other Fedora 8 mirrors. Obviously, something is different. Am I supposed to recreate the Fedora 8 DVD repo data or do something similar before I can do an http domU install?
