Andy Success! Thank you for your help. Correct, I'm working with KVM-based Linux image.
I was able to make it work with a slight changes. Do you have any entries in vcl.OS table with installtype='libvirt'? The only way I'm able to make reservations is by adding new entry into vcl.OS table and then setting image.osid to the id of the new entry (49 in my case): This is the entry I've added: select * from OS where installtype='libvirt'; +----+--------------+----------------------+-------+-------------+---------------+----------+ | id | name | prettyname | type | installtype | sourcepath | moduleid | +----+--------------+----------------------+-------+-------------+---------------+----------+ | 49 | libvirtlinux | CentOS 5/6 (libvirt) | linux | libvirt | vmware_images | 5 | +----+--------------+----------------------+-------+-------------+---------------+----------+ Thanks. -- Dmitri Chebotarov Virtual Computing Lab Systems Engineer, TSD - Ent Servers & Messaging 223 Aquia Building, Ffx, MSN: 1B5 Phone: (703) 993-6175 Fax: (703) 993-3404 On Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 15:43 , Andy Kurth wrote: > I'm confused about what you're trying to load.
