Hello, Is there a way to configure the domain cpu in such a way that the info reported to the guest OS system will remain constant ? For example in older versions of of libvirt/qemu the cpu was reported as "QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64_rhel6)" but moving the vm on a qemu2.2.0 is is reported as "QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.2.0". Thanks.

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 ...

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've been trying to figure out how to create a new domain(create a new virtual machine) using the ESX driver. The documentation at http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html says: To define a new domain the driver converts the domain XML into a VMware VMX file and uploads it to a datastore known to the ESX server. Because multiple datastores may be known to an ESX server the driver needs to decide

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:

Hello, I am running into issues restoring VMs during reboot for some of my XP VMs - the environment is QEMU 2.2.0, libvirt 1.2.12 on CentOS 6.5 with KVM and libvirt-guests is set to suspend at shutdown. The weird part is Windows 7 is restored properly from the managedsave however XP does not, doing a start from virsh shows this: virsh # start xp-check error: Failed to start domain xp-check

Previously the Constructor for the Alloca Instruction took the type of the returned value. But now it has been updated to take the type of the Pointer Operand. My question is: how do I set the type of the return value of Alloca ? My code uses the old form of the constructor, and when the pointer is passed to "replaceAllUsesWith()" of an Instruction Pointer, an assert fails saying that

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:

Buen dia compañerxs de R, les traigo una pregunta bastante especifica. En el trabajo me estan requiriendo el uso de SQL, asi q estoy aprendiendo a usarlo desde R, con el paquete RODBC. Mi problema puntual es que al crear una tabla en el servidor SQL a partir de un data frame en R (usando la funcion sqlSave) no puedo definir el tipo de variables que quiero usar en el data frame. Segun entiendo

I was taught in kitty school that running a ntp server in a vm was a bad idea. Is that still the case?

Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I tried your suggestion but now I got one more message saying: *virsh # connect esx://172.16.73.14/?no_verify=1* *Enter username for 172.16.73.14 [root]: root* *Enter root's password for 172.16.73.14: * *error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor* *error: internal error: curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Unsupported protocol (1) : Protocol https not

Hi, I was trying to connect to ESX server using libvirt's virsh console but I am getting the following error: *virsh# connect esx://172.16.73.14* *Enter username for 172.16.73.14 [root]: root* *Enter root's password for 172.16.73.14:* *error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor* *error: internal error curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with

Obviously not a very fair comparison [1]. I can''t see how this was done well at all. VMWare are a bit silly to release stuff like this, just lowers the whole game.

Just curious but how long has ESX support been in libvirt? Also I noticed this error when accessing one of my windows vms: error: internal error Expecting VMX entry 'scsi0.virtualDev' to be 'buslogic' or 'lsilogic' but found 'lsisas1068' Not sure whether this is an enhancement, defect, or not supported at this time. Thanks. -Jon

Buen dia Javier, muchas gracias por tu ayuda y el script compartido. Me va a servir como ayuda para seguir aprendiendo sobre RODBC pero no encuentro una solucion para este problema puntual de poder definir el tipo y ancho de las variables, q segun creo se hace con el argumento varTypes. Si alguien tien algun ejemplo donde haya usado la SqlSave y VarTypes, me sera de gran ayuda. Abrazo a todos

Ok, try this. Gif the pc a uid and check again. If it works then, its a share or security right. Gpupdate /force works because at that point you "user"/user has a uid and gid. The error occurs at start up because the COMPUTERNAME$ doent have access to that gpt.ini. Resetting sysvol in that case doent help because the right on the gpt.ini is set by the group you assigned to the

Morning all, What is the recommended tool for resource analysis on hypervisors? Many thanks, Adam King IT Systems Administrator
