Hi all,
i am trying to create virtual box using libvirt ,
following is xml i tried to use following xml (followed example in libvirt site . http://libvirt.org/drvvbox.html)
<domain type='vbox'>
<name>vboxtest</name>
<os> <type>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> <boot dev='cdrom'/> </os>
<memory>393216</memory>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>
<features> <acpi/> </features>
<devices>
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <source file=''/> <target dev='hdc'/> <readonly/> </disk>
<disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='/d1/vir_box/ub.vdi'/> <target dev='hdd'/> </disk>
<interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='eth0'/> <mac address='00:15:C5:ED:63:E6'/> </interface>
<interface type='user'> <mac address='00:15:C5:ED:63:E6'/> <model type='Am79C973'/> </interface>
<parallel type='dev'> <source path='/dev/pts/1'/> <target port='0'/> </parallel>
<parallel type='dev'> <source path='/dev/pts/2'/> <target port='1'/> </parallel>
<serial type="dev"> <source path="/dev/ttyS0"/> <target port="0"/> </serial>
</devices>
</domain>
now i have few questions/doubts on the xml
(i have working vdi file which is created using GUI and has ubuntu installed , i just want to start that using another machine )
as soon as i try following code i am getting segfault , i am suspecting some problem with xml input
import libvirt
conn=libvirt.open('vbox:///session')
xmldesc = <above string>
dom=conn.createLinux(xmldesc,0)
Segmentation fault
in my home directory/Machines xml file is created
