Hi libvirt: -------- My "short" question is - is there a recipe for installing F19 100% automatically with static IPs? I'm using a combination of url based install with a kickstart script pasted to a gist in order to bootstrap the entire thing. It **used** to work (fedora16), but recently stopped. ------- Note : Right now Im not using the os-variant switch because fedora17+ arent listed as OS variant's in my version of virt-install. That in and of itself could be the problem -- any way to update virt-install's os-variant list? ------ With Fedora 16, I found that the url based install failed due to a corrupt rpm. I assume this is just because f16 isn't supported anymore so errors on the web site for it are not being fixed. With Fedora 18/19/... Im finding other types of errors related to missing downloaded components when the bootstrapping virt-install starts. In particular, a 404 (not found) error when fetching " product.img " from the OS url. Details below. <note, any insights into things I may be missing due to ignorance would also be appreciated here> -------- With Fedora 18: I've noticed that libvirt gives me some errors with the new generation of fedora formatted os's source directories. It looks for a file "product.img", which (I beleive) doesnt exist in fedora17+. In particular, it is looking for the "product.img" file, under http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Fedora/x86_64/os/ . virt-install --hvm --name f18x86_64a --ram 1024 --file /var/lib/libvirt/images/f18x86_64a.img,size=20 --location http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/x86_64/os/--file-size 20 -x "ks=<url_to_kickstart_file>" ------- Running "virt-install list", it seems that the only fedoras known to virt-install are up to fedora16: fedora16 : Fedora 16 fedora15 : Fedora 15 fedora14 : Fedora 14 fedora13 : Fedora 13 fedora12 : Fedora 12 fedora11 : Fedora 11 fedora10 : Fedora 10 fedora9 : Fedora 9 fedora8 : Fedora 8 fedora7 : Fedora 7 fedora6 : Fedora Core 6 fedora5 : Fedora Core 5 ------- Do I need to update virt-install in order to install F17+ from source? How is the os-variant used? Im assuming maybe os-variant needs to be updated somehow in order for the virt-install command to behave correctly. -- Jay Vyas http://jayunit100.blogspot.com
