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. ERROR failed Xen syscall Failed to create inactive domain Stackato Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 1033, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 915, in main start_time, guest.start_install) File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 957, in do_install dom = install_func(conscb, progresscb, wait=(not wait)) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virtinst/Guest.py", line 973, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter, removeOld, wait) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1038, in _do_install "install") File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1022, in _create_guest self.domain = self.conn.defineXML(final_xml) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1299, in 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
