Hello
We use the default centos5 xen package
We''d like to create a centos4.5 guest
As we don''t have the CD we ask for an http install
Here is how we launched virt-install and the error it returned
------------------
# virt-install
Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)? This will allow
you to run unmodified operating systems. no
What is the name of your virtual machine? centos45
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 512
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /dev/xenvps/centos45
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
What is the install location?
http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/CentOS/4.5/os/i386/
Starting install...
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "Error
creating domain: (22, ''Invalid argument'')")
Failed to create domain centos45
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 447, in ?
main()
File "/usr/sbin/virt-install", line 411, in main
dom = guest.start_install(conscb)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/ParaVirtGuest.py",
line 220, in start_install
return XenGuest.XenGuest.start_install(self, consolecb)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py", line
367, in start_install
self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(cxml, 0)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 249, in
createLinux
if ret is None:raise libvirtError(''virDomainCreateLinux()
failed'')
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed
------------------
Hmm maybe we can''t define a http location ? in this case how could we
do
without the cd ?
Thanks
Pascal

The bittorrent is at http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4/isos/i386/. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
