Hey guys,
I''ve been trying to import a VMWare image into Xen, so I converted the
.vmdk into an .img with qemu-img
I then tried to import it into Xen with the following command:
root@GLaDOS:/home/jacob/Stackato-v1.0.4.vmwarevm# virt-install -n Stackato -r
2048 --os-type=linux --disk=/var/lib/libvirt/images/Stackato-v1.0.4-disk1.img -v
--import
Starting install...
ERROR failed Xen syscall Failed to create inactive domain Stackato
Domain installation does not appear to have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running ''virsh start Stackato''; otherwise, please
restart your installation.

defineXML
if ret is None:raise libvirtError(''virDomainDefineXML()
failed'', conn=self)
libvirtError: failed Xen syscall Failed to create inactive domain Stackato
To me, this doesn''t seem like a very helpful message, so I tried, what
I assumed would use paravirtualization, removing the -v flag. The VM then
installed and booted, however obviously HVM virtualisation would be much more
desirable.
anybody got any ideas on how to get this working?
Thanks
