Re: [libvirt-users] Fedora 19/20 new install :Unable to create vcpu cgroup

Hi

I have reinstall Fedora 20 from distrib. I have run yum update and yum 
upgrade.

Running kernel is : 3.14.7-200.fc20.x86_64

Installed Libvirt packages are:
libvirt-client-1.1.3.5-2.fc20.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-1.1.3.5-2.fc20.x86_64

This is an invalid invocation.

I just tested on my Fedora-20 machine, trying to boot a Fedora-19 VM it
works for me:


    $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata \
      /export/vmimages/f19vm 4G

    $ virt-install --name f19vm --disk /export/vmimages/f19vm \
      --cdrom /export/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-19-1.iso \
      --memory 2048
    
    Starting install...
    Creating domain...
    .
    .
    .

 
But, I should mention that I'm using virt packages from Rawhide:

    $ rpm -q virt-install libvirt-daemon-kvm qemu-system-x86
    virt-install-1.0.1-3.fc21.noarch
    libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.6-1.fc20.x86_64
    qemu-system-x86-2.0.0-1.fc21.x86_64

Ensure you have correct permissions to allow QEMU to access disk images
in your $HOME directory:

    $ chmod o+rx $HOME

I guess that should resolve it.

Re: [libvirt-users] Fedora 19/20 new install :Unable to create vcpu cgroup

Hi,

Thanks Kashyap for your answer.

I am trying to give more data:

virt-install invokation:

# virt-install --name eff1 --disk /home/kvmimages/eff1.img  --cdrom 
/home/kvmimages/Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso --memory 4096
WARNING  CDROM media does not print to the text console by default, so 
you likely will not see text install output. You might want to use 
--location.

Début d'installation...
ERROR    internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:

Rpm: infos

libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.1.3.5-2.fc20.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-1.6.2-6.fc20.x86_64

I adapted your commands to my conf:

# qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata

Début d'installation...
ERROR    internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:

L'installation du domaine ne semble pas s'être terminée avec succès.
Si c'est bon, vous pouvez démarrer le domaine en lançant :
  virsh --connect qemu:///system start f20vm
sinon, recommencez l'installation.

Always the same Failed to create chardev.

I do think it's a problem of permission as you said, but on which 
directory/files?

I am connected as root on my remote server, as simple user on my local 
computer. Both are running F20.

When I create/run a F20 VM on my local computer, it's OK. I have 
verified rpm versions, seem OK. I have rsynced /etc/libvirt dir from 
local computer to remote server.

It works on my local like on yours,but not on my remote. I need the 
remote to run VMs.

Thanks for your help.

Patrick
