The man page for cobbler says:
virt-name
(optional) (Virt-only) what the Virt guest name should start with.
Creating multiple images on a machine will cause increasing numbers
to be appended to this name. The default is "virtguest".
When I specify a virt-name of RH4U5 and try and create multiple
guests using koan:
koan --virt --server=kickstart.mtc.ibsys.com \
--profile=rhel4u5-beta_xen_domU
It creates the first one named RH4U5 but does not append a number
to the second one and fails with an error:
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "Error
creating domain: VM name 'RH4U5' already in use by domain 2")
Is this functionailty missing? Not implemented yet?
This is probably a bug. koan keeps track of Xen names that are already
taken by looking at files in /etc/xen, so let me know if you see a
/etc/xen/RH4U5 and /etc/xen/RH4U5_1 in there. I'm guessing koan is
confused because the first guest is still installing ...
It should be noted that the way koan looks for virtual systems is a bit
outdated. The /etc/xen/ paths are deprecated and Xen doesn't use them
anymore. Fortunately updating koan is on my short list...
Also the koan man page says:
If you add the --interactive flag, you can watch the kickstart
as it happens in an "xm console".
But koan says it doesn't know what --interactive means:
koan: error: no such option: --interactive
Yes, koan doesn't support this anymore ... I'll remove this from the
manpage. Thanks!
