Hi, You can also create an empty image with a template similar to this one (see [1] for more info): NAME = new_img TYPE = DATABLOCK SIZE = 512000 FSTYPE= ext3 Or create an empty disk instead, as explained in [2]. You can change the boot device with the OS/BOOT

Hello Richard, you're right. At some point we had some issues with libvirt and kvm, and the way they handle disk image files ownership and permissions, that's the reason why we have those chmod's. However we can remove them provided that the opennebula administrator configures libvirt properly to

Hello Nikolay Just a little correction concerning Linux distros. There is no ES/AS in RH version 6.0 - just RH 6.0 32/64 bit. I think ES/AS ended with RH version 4.0. It was a concern of RAM limitations of 16GB in RH ES 4.0. BTW: I would not recommend your setup / IT-softwareinfrastructure as yo

Hi, I've done some more investigating and I've got a handle on what the problem is. My VM templates don't define a CPU attribute (as I'm just letting it use the default values) and therefore the code errors out trying to get a CPU value from my vm template which don't have one. This sounds like
