similar to: Libvirt ESX: Image file not getting copied to ESX server

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, 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

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:

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

Hi, Dear Mr/Mrs. I have two questions ask for help: my virt-manager and libvirt version is : linux-vaan:~ # rpm -q libvirt libvirt-0.8.5-1.2.i586 linux-vaan:~ # uname -a Linux linux-vaan 2.6.34-12-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 i686 i386 GNU/Linux linux-vaan:~ # rpm -q virt-manager virt-manager-0.8.5-3.1.i586 linux-vaan:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.3 (i586) VERSION =

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>

This implements a missing feature from old virt-v2v, namely being able to cope with a guest with snapshots. Note this only converts the top (latest) snapshot. As in old virt-v2v it does NOT convert the whole chain of snapshots. --- v2v/vCenter.ml | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/vCenter.ml b/v2v/vCenter.ml index

This enhances the existing VMX input support allowing it to be used over SSH to the ESXi server. The original command (for local .vmx files) was: $ virt-v2v -i vmx guest.vmx -o local -os /var/tmp Adding ‘-it ssh’ and using an SSH remote path gives the new syntax: $ virt-v2v \ -i vmx -it ssh \ "root@esxi.example.com:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/guest/guest.vmx" \ -o local

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

Dear Paul, Depending on how you want to create them, qemu-img tool might be what you're looking for. It can create empty vmdk disk images: qemu-img create -f vmdk ...
