similar to: ESX - How to create a new domain

If an ESX guest has a snapshot, the path the libvirt driver gives us will look like: [yellow:storage1] RHEL4-X/RHEL4-X-000003.vmdk instead of: [yellow:storage1] RHEL4-X/RHEL4-X.vmdk The current path mangling code does take this into account. This change makes it use the current mechanism first, but try again after removing a '-\d+' suffix if it gets a 404. Trying twice should make it

I want to create a virtual machine from scratch in ESX but I can't figure out how to create the disks - the vmdk files. Any hints on how that can be done or even if it's possible at all ? Thanks

Hi, Today I was trying to start a node using libvirt on ESX (esxi-5.1) hypervisor and I got the following error message: *virsh # define /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *Domain testNode defined from /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *virsh # start testNode* *error: Failed to start domain testNode* *error: internal error: Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault - Cannot open the disk

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:

The first commit removes the --dcpath parameter, which just makes the following stuff simpler. Since libvirt has supported getting datacenterpath from VMware since Oct 2015, it's time to drop this hairy parameter. The rest is quite a complicated series of refactorings, followed by a very simple change to add handling of snapshots taken from old virt-v2v. Rich.

Hi, Is virsh able to access the VMX config of a virtual machine running on a esxi host? I would like to take backups of my virtual machine configs and the doku section "Converting from VMware VMX config to domain XML config" (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html) comes close to this - but does not tell how to get access to the vmx file. I would prefer a solution where ssh access to the

The following patches are where I'm currently at with ESX support. I can now import a domain from ESX along with its storage. Note that I'm not yet doing any conversion. In fact, I've never even tested past the import stage (I just had an exit in there). The meat is really in the 4th patch. The rename of MetadataReader->Connection was because the Connection is now really providing

With this patchset I have successfully[1] imported a RHEL 5 guest directly from ESX with the following command line: virt-v2v -ic 'esx://yellow.marston/?no_verify=1' -op transfer RHEL5-64 Login details are stored in ~/.netrc Note that this is the only guest I've tested against. I haven't for example, checked that I haven't broken Xen imports. Matt [1] With the exception of

Hi everyone, I''m trying to convert some Xen HVM images to run on VMware ESX, unsuccessfully thus far. I believe the problem is that ESX by default wants the VMs to use SCSI virtual disks, but my HVM VMs are configured to use IDE virtual disks. If you have any experience with this sort of thing, please get in touch. Thanks! Diwaker -- http://floatingsun.net/

Hi Ján, Thanks a lot for the suggestion. It worked and volume is added to the datastore. Now if I try to start the node it gives an error saying: Error: internal error: Could not start domain: FileNotFound - File [datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk was not found." But .vmdk file exist at this location. What is going wrong here can anyobe plz suggest. Below is my xml: <domain

Calculate dcPath correctly for vCenter conversions. Rich.

Hi, I was trying to add volume...I got one xml snippet and I modified it according to my node configuration: < volume> <name>testNode/cluster.vmdk </name> <allocation>0 </allocation> <capacity unit='G'>2<capacity> </volume> Now when I executed "virsh vol-create datastore1 /local/new_volume.xml" one error message came saying:

I''m planning on setting up an NFS server for our ESXi hosts and plan on using a virtualized Solaris or Nexenta host to serve ZFS over NFS. The storage I have available is provided by Equallogic boxes over 10Gbe iSCSI. I am trying to figure out the best way to provide both performance and resiliency given the Equallogic provides the redundancy. Since I am hoping to provide a 2TB

Patch 1 was previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-June/msg00086.html to handle this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1848862 I was able to observe this bug and for me at least disabling readahead seems to cure it. Patches 2 and 3 are simplifications, removing a now-undocumented feature of virt-v2v-copy-to-local and thus simplifying greatly the

Dear All, I would like to know what functions and classes are implemented in the ESX(i) driver ? i am trying to use virsh to retrieve some simple information such as vcpuinfo domain, but it is not working, so I would like to know what functions are implemented in libvirt ESX(i) driver. Also i checked the http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html and nothing is mentioned there. Thank You, Regards, Sherif

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Hi, I am doing poc for using libvirt api for implementation of esx in python. I tried researching through module but did not find a way how it works for esx. Any help on how to proceed specifically for esx would be of great help. Please let me know as soon as possible, lagging on deliverables. Thanks for help!! Regards Rohit Singh
