Hi,
I was unsuccessful using a local storage pool as specified by something like
"chdef kvm1 vmstorage=dir:///install/vms"
I verified that the pool existed in virsh and virt-manager.
I ran "mkvm kvm1 -s 20G" which created the kvm1.hda.qcow2 file in /install/vms
However, the KVM/QEMU system doesn't see the storage properly.
When Anaconda runs, it sees the virtual disk as very small, and not as 20G.
On the other hand, if I set up an NFS exported storage pool, such as "chdef
kvm1 vmstorage=nfs://<server-IP>/vms" and otherwise do
the same commands, it works fine. Anaconda will run and it sees the virtual
disk as 20G.
I looked at /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/kvm.pm and it seems that it handles
"dir:///" differently than "nfs://", specifically in
"build_pool_xml".
Does anyone use local storage pool via "dir:///" ?
Is that a non-typical usage?
this is xcat version 2.12.2
Thanks,
Russ
