Hi, I am seeing a problem with a earlier working domain configuration. Here is the domain xml file. I am not getting the virsh console now. I am trying this on RHEL 6.0. Here is the list of steps that I am using: [root at krm1 test]# virsh define vmtest.xml Domain vmtest3 defined from vmtest.xml [root at krm1 test]# virsh start vmtest3 Domain vmtest3 started [root at krm1 test]# virsh console vmtest3 Connected to domain vmtest3 Escape character is ^] [root at krm1 test]# virsh dominfo vmtest3 Id: 2 Name: vmtest3 UUID: 2b38ff93-1bc6-c78c-1ed8-ffb936c86dac OS Type: hvm State: running CPU(s): 1 CPU time: 17.3s Max memory: 524288 kB Used memory: 524288 kB Persistent: yes Autostart: disable [root at krm1 test]# The state of the domain shows running. One more thing that i noted was that qemu-kvm is consuming 100% of the cpu. So not sure if the qemu-kvm has started properly. I am not sure how to debug the issue. Would appreciate some help on this. Some more information: I have attached following file /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vmtest3.log Executing the following command on the bash works fine and the VM comes up: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.0.0 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -drive file=/home/bharata/cgroup-scalability/test/test.qcow2 -nographic While executing the command in the vmtest3.log, the VM does not come at all. Here is the domain xml: <domain type='kvm'> <name>vmtest3</name> <memory>524288</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='i686'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/home/bharata/cgroup-scalability/test/test.qcow2'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> </disk> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </console> </devices> </domain> Thanks, Nikunj -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
