[CentOS] virt-install error: "virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400"
Hi there,
I've been happily installing VMs in CentOS 5.2's Xen implementation
using virt-manager. However, my latest attempt to use the install wizard in
virt-manager failed when I got to the networking screen. The 'forward'
button was unresponsive, and I was unable to proceed. I checked the virt-manager
logs, and saw this appearing immediately after I tried to proceed:
/root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log:
[Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] ERROR (virt-manager:132)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 294, in

vm = self.connection.vmm.lookupByName(name)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 646, in
lookupByName
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainLookupByName() failed',
conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400
None
There was also a lot of this in the main system log (1-2 messages per second):
[Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:16:53 virt-manager 20637] DEBUG (connection:580)
Couldn't fetch domain id 3; it probably went away
So I tried to use virt-install on the shell instead, but got much the same
error:
[root at optimus swadmin]# virt-install --hvm --name=zurich.gcal.ac.uk
--ram=2048 --file=/var/lib/xen/images/zurich.gcal.ac.uk.img --vnc --vcpus=2
--cdrom=/home/swadmin/software/OpenSolaris/sol-nv-b93-x86-dvd.iso

Domain installation may not have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start zurich.gcal.ac.uk'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.

It suggests I try to start the domain anyway, but it hasn't been created:
[root at optimus swadmin]# virsh start zurich.gcal.ac.uk
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName
error: failed to get domain 'zurich.gcal.ac.uk'
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

[CentOS] virt-install error: "virDomainLookupByName() failed got unknown HTTP error code 400"
Sorry to bump my own thread, but does anyone have any ideas about this?
I've now tried virtually every combination of options in virt-manager and
virt-install, and nothing seems to avoid this error (or let me get beyond the
networking screen in virt-manager).
Has anyone encountered anything like this before?
Thanks,
Graeme
