similar to: Problems using virt-install to create KVM CentOS 5.6 guest

I'm having problems trying to install CentOS as a KVM guest despite following the wikis and howtos. The problem is that most of the instructions skip the part that happens after virt-install... It seems that something blindingly obvious happens if nothing goes wrong and most instructions continues from the OS installation screen. However, when I try this, I get a blank console that says

Hi All, I'm running KVM host on CentOS 5.6 x64, all of my guests are CO 5.6 x64 as well. I create / run VMs via libvirt.

After updating to 5.6 on a server this morning, I can no longer boot two virtual machines. One is trixbox which I believe is a 32bit centos based distro, and the other vm is a 64bit Windows 2008 installation. The error I get in the virt-manager console is FATAL: No bootable device. Both VMs are qcow2 format, and I've checked file permissions. I'm going to boot a live cd in the trixbox vm

I have a CentOS-6 guest VM configured on a CentOS-6 host. If I run virt-manager then I can start the guest VM but once it is running I cannot get a shutdown command to have effect. To shutdown the running guest I either must select Force Off from the Shut Down menu or open the guest console and issue shutdown from the command line. Is there some setting that is required to have Shut Down have

Hi Folks, According to the examples in http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks it should be possible to mount an iso /url as a cdrom, the example given is: </disk> <disk type='network' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol="http" name="url_path"> <host

hi, in the last 2 weeks we play a lot with our new server which we but to a our virtual server for the development and collect some very subjective experience. we use kvm and virt-manager, but sometimes i'm not really sure about the whether it's kvm or virt-manager problem so i collect them together. our system: MB: Intel S3000AHV CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz RAM: 8GB CentOS

As a regular user, member of the libvirt group, I run this command to create a basic VM: virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name=test --ram 2048 --cpu host-model-only --os-variant=win7 --disk /myVM/test --boot cdrom,hd --virt-type kvm --graphics spice --controller scsi,model=virtio-scsi --cdrom=/drawer/myIso/w8.iso It returns an error : --------------------------------- Starting install...

Well, not that remote. I'm trying to get it working from my laptop to an ancient workstation behind me I use for testing. I appear to get the connection okay. virt-manager --connect qemu+ssh://root@<host_ip>/system I can click on the entry on the panel that comes up and see facts about the remote machine. I then tried the "Create a new virtual machine" item on the tool

Hi, I am trying to install kali-linux-2020.2-installer-amd64.iso ( https://www.kali.org/downloads/) using KVM virt-install tool #virt-install --name=kalilinux --file=/linuxkvmaddgbdisk/kalilinux.img --file-size=50 --nonsparse --vcpu=2 --ram=4096 --network=bridge:br0 --os-type=linux --os-variant=debian9 --graphics none --location=/linuxkvmaddgbdisk/kali-linux-2020.2-installer-amd64.iso

Is TLS required for the usage of Spice with KVM/libvirtd? I've been through the virt-install manpage a few times now to no avail. What is wrong with my syntax here (seen below)? Thanks. ~]# virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n blahhost -r2048 --vcpus=4 --arch=x86_64 --video qxl --graphics spice,port=5931 --noautoconsole --os-type linux --accelerate --network=bridge:kickstart_br0 --hvm

Hi All, Hope I''m not too annoying yet.. I have CentOS 5.4 running as Domain 0. I can create CentOS guest domains via network using virt-install. However that''s a bit slow, and I don''t want to repeat the download process again if I create new guest domains. So my questions: - Can I create guest CentOS domains using virt-install and specify a dvd iso image as its

Hi to all, I am trying to install CentOS 5.5 as VM on a KVM server running Ubuntu 10.04. The Problem: the installer does not find the iso image. (Direct copy from website downlod.) I can start CentOS from the iso and can even do some disk checks. But when I go further the installer says "no CDROm found". Pretty weird. I tried all CentOS 5.5. image available (Live CD, net install, bin 1

There's got to be a simple way to attach an ISO to a KVM guest. I just haven't yet discovered it. I've tried adding the following stanza to my guest XML file, under the <devices> stanza and starting the guest: <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' /> <source

I have a CentOS 5.6 system with a AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1300 (which does not provide hardware virtualization support, so I can't use the --cdrom option) and I am *trying* to install FC15 as a guest O/S using a local FC15 DVD-ROM image. Everything work until the installer *insists* on firing up the network to get the repo data, etc. I have a *dial-up* Internet connection and this is a

I've got a CentOS 5.6 guest running on 6.0 host. Using virsh attach-disk, I attached a new raw file as vdc However, the guest does not detect this new disk. In the past, I've used the following echo "0 0 0" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/scan command to make a CentOS system scan for new drives. However in the guest, there is no host in scsi_host so this isn't an option.
