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 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>

virt-v2v is not an option for me as all I have are the VMDK images and don't have the VMware software to covert to OVA first. I really don't understand what is going wrong. I also found https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/20511 and that still doesn't work. Both /etc/fstab and grub.conf refer to the LABEL and not any device name. In the boot process I see it explicitly says it

I'm in the midst of an attempt to convert an old and rather large SuSE server (5 disks) into a virsh loadable VM. Has anyone else dealt with the issues of systems of this sort? I'm at the moment trying to hand construct a machine xml file for it. I managed to create one which would load but not start. I'd appreciate some pointers and can supply whatever info you'd like about what

I just updated an Ubuntu Oneiric to Raring and the VM that works fine on one fails to start a VM with this passthrough: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'> <source> <vendor id='0x055f'/> <product id='0x040b'/> <address bus='3' device='8'/> </source>

Very recent versions of tar (most probably as a consequence of CVE-2016-6321) may refuse archive members with '..', like the relative paths to upper level directories. Since these are just tests, simply copy the files in the temporary directories where tar (or zip as well) is run, so all the files are in the same directory. --- v2v/test-v2v-i-ova-formats.sh | 9 +++++----

With VMWare (server), you can pre-allocate your image in several vmdk files. But I have not bee able to mount that in guestfs. On file (e.g. guest.vmdk) is a text file pointing to all the other files (e.g. guest-f001.vmdk, guest-f002.vmdk,...). I tried the following scenarios without success: 1- just adding the base vmdk: add_drive guest.vmdk 2- adding all the files: add_drive guest-f001.vmdk

Hi. I have a reference .vmdk (and .xml) reference VM. I need to instantiate multiple new VM’s from this, but changing various parameters: name, MAC address, network connections, cores, memory size, disk size and backing store, etc. and then start these new VM’s… all via ‘virsh’ et al from a script. What are the steps to do this? I was looking at the command help and some tutorials but

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:

Hi, I am using rsync for my customers to have disaster recovery off-site with files from a VMware Server (under Linux). All works very well, but when I defragment the VM's (once a week) or Exchange defragments it's datastore the disk layout changes offcourse and sometimes a lot. What do I do: - I am making a local copy with vmware-vdiskmanager to an USB disk in the split

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

I've used QEMU to read .vmdk snapshots. The VM directory layout in my case (Fusion, and I've seen Workstation do the same) created a .vmdk file per snapshot, and qemu-img could use that .vmdk file and the base .vmdk to convert the disk image to a raw image. IIRC there is a manifest file that ties .vmdk files to the snapshot they represent. So, from my experience, qemu does read disk

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm import/export/convert to the 3.3 vdisk and vbox repos. You can now import a disk image from a block device or file to a vdisk, convert (in place) to a different type of vdisk and export from a vdisk to a block device or file. I''ve also pushed the full vhd support (sparse and fixed) and the ability to import a vmdk 1.1 optimized stream file. An

Here is a runable program. When I plot Day and Wgt, it graphs all the data points. All I need is daily.sub1 plotted. I also need each "Tanks" to have its own col or pch. When I run it with the line with pch, it gives me nothing. rm(list=ls()) Trial<-rep(c(1,2),each=12) Tanks=rep(c("a3","a4","c4","h4"),each=3,2) Day=rep(c(1:12),2)

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm translate to the 3.3 vdisk repo. You can now translate data from one virtual disk data type to another without creating a virtual disk. This allows the user to use a vmdk file and directly translate the data into a zvol without having to import it first to a vdisk and then export it to the zvol. # vdiskadm help translate translate - translate virtual disk data

In case the appliance is disabled at configure, then all the phony guests will not be built during the 'make check' time. Since the tests already handle an empty windows.vmdk fine (in case ntfs-3g is not available), then just create it empty in this case.

HI everyone. I am using visual studio 2005 and windows xp to compile the llvm project. I downloaded the project with svn client. I thought this action may gurantee my code is up to date and integrate. However, after I opened the solution located in the win32 directory and build the solution, the visual studio output many many errors, and even few projects can be compiled to generate runable .exe

Hi Bas, I'm not sure if this is of interest, but I also had issues with VM disk-image sparse-files (in my case KVM, rather than VMWare), which I've now resolved. http://www.finalcog.com/rsync-vm-sparse-inplace-kvm-vmware All the best, Chris Dew.
