Dan(s), I hope you can give us some advice on this. Background: guestfsd is a guest agent. Normally it runs inside a special appliance; that's *not* the case that I'm worried about. There's also another mode where you can run guestfsd inside a regular Fedora or RHEL guest, and it handles instructions from the host to perform filesystem operations. The mode is called 'libguestfs

To Whom It May concern: I found that the following error is caused by adding a scsi disk to install the os, I remove the scsi disk and the error remove but still report 'out of memory': virsh # dumpxml win2003_122 internal error Invalid or not yet handled value '/vmfs/devices/genscsi/mp x.vmhba0:C0:T1:L0' for VMX entry 'scsi0:1.fileName' virsh # list --all Id Name

Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I am little confused here. How to add volume on my esx server using virsh? I did SCP and copied my vmdk image to [datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk and also modified my xml file as you suggested. Now when I tried starting the node it gave me an error message saying: "error: Failed to start testNode error: internal error: Could not start domain:

I always used IET on CentOS but I have a quick server to setup to backup some VM's, then migrate to DAS on another server and the easiest way for me will be to accomplish this via iSCSI vmfs stores. I figured I would just use the ini that ships with CentOS but have never used it against ESX, anyone do this and have experiences they care to share? Should it be trivial or are there any non

I'm happy to announce that after 5 months of development, the new stable version of libguestfs is available. libguestfs is a set of tools and a library for accessing, creating and modifying the contents of virtual machines and disk images.

Hello. I've been finding a good solution to monitor virtual machines' status such as memory, disk, cpu, etc, and I found this as a tool for measuring disk/image status. I have a question while using the libguestfs-java library; I'd wanted to implement a sample app which retrieve the disk information remotely. Is there any way, i.e., specific API(s) to connect with a host where

Ah, I see. Many thanks. BTW, I see a function that it can add a ssh remote image, like guestfish -a ssh://root@example.com/path/disk.img, it's really powerful, but why couldn't I secceed? #guestfish -a http://slcn03cn15.us.oracle.com/packages/test1.img http://slcn03cn15.us.oracle.com/packages/test1.img: No such file or directory On 2015/7/29 20:42, Richard W.M.

Thanks to the reminder from Dan Berrange, here's a patch to make build output less verbose, by default. E.g., instead of the redundant multi-line compilation/linking commands, you'll see something like this by default: CC guestfsd-fsck.o CC guestfsd-grep.o CC guestfsd-grub.o CC guestfsd-glob.o CC guestfsd-guestfsd.o CC guestfsd-headtail.o CC

Hi, We are haing some serious issues trying to configure an OCFS2 cluster on 3 SLES 10 SP2 boxes running in VMware ESX 3.0.1. Before I go into any of the detailed errors we are experiencing I first wanted to ask everyone if they have successfully configured this solution? We would be interested to find out what needs to be set at the VMware level (RDM, VMFS, NICS etc) and what needs to be

Hi, How do I view the libvirt virsh domxml-to-native function implementation? I think this function contains some error. Because we use libvirt to manage some host and vms on vmware hypervisor. We use openenbula generate a template for libvirt ,such as my attachment windows2008.xml. but when i use domxml-to-native to convert xml file to vmware config file vmx as below. This may not be
