Hi, I'm writing related to issue:
http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/1025 Ruben, thanks for answer, you commented there that iscsi could be used as a disk: "you should be able to use iSCSI block devices with DISK=[TYPE=block,SOURCE=<path_to_dev>....]." I tried to follow you instruction, I don't see it working. What am I missing, since the oned tries to cp the iscsi image, instead as pass it to guest as disk: -------------------------------- $ cat iscsi-vm.txt NAME=f16-min-iscsi USER=oneadmin GROUP=oneadmin PUBLIC=No DISK=[ BUS=virtio, TYPE=block, SOURCE=/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.117.1:3260-iscsi-iqn.2009-02.net.nsn-net:whipper.f16-min-lun-0 ] GRAPHICS=[ KEYMAP=fi, TYPE=vnc ] INPUT=[ BUS=usb, TYPE=mouse ] MEMORY=512 NIC=[ NETWORK_ID=1, WHITE_PORTS_TCP=22 ] OS=[ ARCH=x86_64, BOOT=hd ] RAW=[ TYPE=kvm ] VCPU=1 -------------------------------- Creating the machine using the disk: -------------------------------- $ onevm create iscsi-vm.txt ID: 10 -------------------------------- and after it fails I see from the logs that it tried to copy the image (cp), instead of passing it to libvirt as a virtio device: -------------------------------- Thu Dec 15 10:26:09 2011 [DiM][I]: New VM state is ACTIVE.
