Hi, I started an Ubuntu 12.04 server instance using an ISO, on CS 4.0.2 using KVM hypervisor. I tried to generate a template. I stopped the instance and through the UI clicked on the 'generate a template" icon. Ubuntu12.04 is not an available OS choice, so I chose Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. It was successful, so it seemed. Then I tried to start another instance using this newly created template and it failed (only error via the UI said "Deployment error"). I also tried by creating a snapshot and creating the template from the snapshot, same issue, the instance creation failed. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or how to solve it since I don't have access to the CS mgt server logs. I ran into a similar symptom with XenServer 6.0.2 and Ubuntu 12.04. I *think* what was happening was this: When you choose a "nearest" match from the OS type for a template, the XenServer tries to apply its pre-configured kernel boot up rules using PyGrub on the default kernel. I suppose the intention is to start the template in a Xen PV environment. Maybe KVM also tries to do some boot up kungfu and treats a 12.04 kernel as a 10.04 kernel. The same template boots up just fine on VMware FWIW. :) thoughts ? -Sebastien -- Shanker Balan Managing Consultant [cid:E7CE8425-E245-4C99-B967-713DF2967392@local] M: +91 98860 60539 shanker.ba...@shapeblue.com<mailto:shanker.ba...@shapeblue.com> | www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com> | Twitter:@shapeblue ShapeBlue India, 22nd floor, Unit 2201A, World Trade Centre, Bangalore - 560 055 This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
