I am using Libvirt virsh command by vmware esx created a virtual host, has been unable to create success. My creation process is as follows : Create a virtual host XML file content is as follows: <domain type='vmware'> <name>test1</name> <memory>524288</memory> <currentMemory>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type> </os> <devices> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='[datastore1 (2)] test1/test1.vmdk'/> <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='vmpvscsi'/> <controller type='ide' index='0'/> <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='VM Network'/> </interface> </devices> </domain> Has been unable to create the VMDK files, can you tell me what reason be?

This does not look like a valid path: '[datastore1 (2)] test1/test1.vmdk' Libvirt's default store is in /var/lib/libvirt/images. So, first try placing your image there and try: . . . <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.vmdk'/> . . . -- /kashyap

That puts an inordinate amount of load on the mail server, and is not nice to list subscribers behind slow connections and/or stuck paying for everything they download. And even for subscribers that don't mind opening the image, it is a lot harder to retype the contents of your screenshot than it is to copy and paste your example in order to try and reproduce your issue. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
