Hi all, I upgraded qemu-kvm and libvirt to the new versions qemu-kvm at : 1.0 libvirt at : git version 0.9.10 I lost the original machines but the xml files were are all present (it is not showing up in virsh list --all) But when I import an xml I get an error: Attached is some information which might be helpful Can someone help please ? If this is a compatibility issue please can someone tell me which is the latest version of qemu-kvm and libvirt combination which will work ? I cannot use qemu plain since it does not yet support boot from scsi thanks ----------------------------------------------- $ sudo virsh list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- $ lsmod | grep kvm kvm_intel 112920 0 kvm 280656 1 kvm_intel $ /usr/local/sbin/libvirtd --version /usr/local/sbin/libvirtd (libvirt) 0.9.10 $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 --version QEMU emulator version 1.0-bcv (qemu-kvm-1.0), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard $ sudo virsh define ./debian.xml error: Failed to define domain from ./debian.xml error: unknown OS type hvm $ cat debian.xml <domain type='kvm'> <name>debian</name> <uuid>0aab8869-ff87-14ce-a00b-944cdca7acf7</uuid> <memory>524288</memory> <currentMemory>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu cpuset='6-7'>2</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='6'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='7'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.14'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <cpu match='exact'> <model>core2duo</model> <vendor>Intel</vendor> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> <feature policy='disable' name='lahf_lm'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hpet' tickpolicy='catchup'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/VIRT/disks/DEBIAN'/> <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='scsi' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:71:62:f3'/> <source bridge='virt'/> <model type='e1000'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' keymap='en-gb'/> <sound model='ich6'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </sound> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> -- Bhasker C V
