similar to: VirtualBox driver : creating storage for a new machine

Hi all, Does anyone have a working example of creation of a logical storage pool and volume? I'm hitting a wall getting logical volumes to work on RHEL 6 beta. There's a single drive I'm trying to setup (sdc) as a libvirt managed logical storage pool, but all volume creation on it fails. Here's what I'm finding so far: Prior to any storage pool work, only the host

I just moved from F11 to F13 and I'm find no information on the best way to restore VMs. I had just copied /var/lib/libvirt (with the VMs off) as part of my backup (I already backup all of /etc). But virt-manager doesn't allow creations of VMs without installing. Also, as a side note, the search feature on the website doesn't seem to allow me to search using documentation only. --

Another quickie I've long and hard (honest !), but can't find a way to search this ml's archives. How do you do this ? -- Kind regards Julian Robbins

Trying to build the hellolibvirt example. I get the project to compile okay but when I try to run it I get: Unable to connect to '/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libivrt-sock Given libvirt --status says it's in /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock that makes sense. How do I make the git version run with my local copy? Or even better does anyone have any example projects that have the proper

I've got a new computer with two SATA disks. I installed a minimal Fedora 13 64-bit on the first disk. I shut down the computer, unplugged the first disk, booted up and installed Windows 7 on the second disk. Then I shut down, and plugged the first disk back in. I added a grub option to boot Windows from the second disk. All fine so far - I had a working dual boot system. Then in F13 using

The continuing challenges of getting a workable server continue. The latest spins of VirtualBox seem to have solved the issues of DKMS auto compiles of the driver being aborted. The yum updates work as expected, provided one stops the running vms manually first. However, trying to get systemd to start the vms is proving to be a PITA. I have extensively googled and found that there are no

Hi, I''m trying to migrate a VirtualBox virtual machine to Xen, but I haven''t been able to successfully boot it under xen (3.0.1 that comes with CentOS 5.5). Thinking that the problem was converting the disk format to a raw format, I tried converting the VDI disk with all these options: VBoxManage internalcommands converttoraw disk.vdi disk.raw VBoxManage clonehd disk.vdi

Hello, my project still uses VBoxManage but I am inclined to switch to libvirt, if possible, because I like the concept. Some rather unusual commands are used by my project... VBoxManage modifyvm "$VMNAME" --synthcpu on VBoxManage setextradata "$VMNAME" "VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled" "1" VBoxManage modifyvm "$VMNAME"

I'm using virtualbox with one of the tests I have for centos 6.4. I realized after creating the disk, the default was too small. I added more disk space with: VBoxManage modifyhd /Users/user/VirtualBox\ VMs/centos\ 6.x/centos\ 6.x.vdi --resize 25000 I then used this site to help me resize the lvm:

hi, sorry for bothering the list but since I didn't find anything in the documentation or archives I would be grateful for your help. For a customized USB installer (based on redhat anaconda) I wanted to pass an kernel parameter which contains a colon. This leads twice to the error message "Unknown keyword in syslinux.cfg." Quoting the append string using ' or "

My objective is also to run headless virtual machines through libvirt library. I am using an Ubuntu 10.04 distro and libvirt 0.9.2.

Hello I''m new to rails (just boarded the Train a week ago). I''ve been an elearning developer for about 10 years and for the last couple of years have solely concentrated on adding tools to a proprietary Learning Management System built in Coldfusion. ...But I''m also a Java and ASP.NET developer.

I have a new OSX Lion Macbook and would like to control VirtualBox using "virsh" (as I do with KVM under Ubuntu). I've got this far: * Installed VirtualBox * Installed libvirt (brew install libvirt) But now I'm a bit stuck :-) I ran VirtualBox itself, and created a test VM successfully. If I try to use virsh, this is what I get: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c

Hi all, Presently writing up "Storage Pool" docs for the Fedora Virtualisation Guide. (using both virsh and virt-manager) Having trouble finding out how to specify mount options for fs type storage pools. For example: # virsh pool-define-as guest_images_fs fs - - /dev/sdc1 - "/guest_images" Pool guest_images_fs defined # virsh pool-build guest_images_fs Pool

Hi all, Writing up some Fedora documentation, and looking to figure out the best way of mapping multipath network(!) LUNs to pools in libvirt. ie Infiniband SRP LUNs, but would probably apply to Fibre Channel equally as well. There are two approaches I can think of easily: a) Large LUNs (ie TB+) that are mapped to a host server as disk, with each LUN being configured as an LVM

Hello listmates, I am wondering if there is a set of scripts/utilities for automatically starting and running headless (no X11) VM's using VirtualBox omn a CentOS 6 server. VNC/RDP access to the VM's would be fine. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.
