Dear Cole & Fellow List Members: Had some 'tap-dance' at the virt-manager site (which I will deal with later) so I patched CloneManager.py, on my machine, as per the first link Cole, so kindly, provided. I deleted the one line shown in red with a minus, and added the following line, in green, with a plus (...just for the record). This resulted in virt-clone running - but very touchy. After the change virt-clone would still not run interactively - it would ask for a disk and go back to the prompt and it would not run with a full string of command line switches (...as illustrated in my last email and Cole's reply). It would, however, run: #virt-clone -f foo.dsk ...at that point it would ask for several things, including the original clone's UUID or name (...this for those trying it for the first time, seems to need the Virtual Machine Manager running and connected to the Xen hypervisor but, of course, with the DomU to be cloned "Shutoff"). When the cloning began it started with: libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: ...then I got - to my relief... Cloning from /home/xenguest/hanoverguest.dsk to KohaHanoverConf_Gold.dsk ...this worked...sort of...no more error messages BUT the result I ended up with was:
Best, P. ------------------------------------------- Other Issues with virt-clone after fix, this morning: #virt-clone ...result: ERROR: A new disk image file for the cloned guest is required, followed by a command prompt... [...no interactive functionality available, as yet...] #virt-clone -f testdisk.dsk ..result "What is the name or uuid of the original virtual machine? [...which is the correct response but you have not fed the script a path and will result in a config.sxp with no path for the disk!] #virt-clone -f /var/lib/xen/images/testdisk.dsk ...result: ERROR: Disk size must be an in or a float. What would you like to use as the disk path? [...problematic...can't seem to use '-f' switch, as per man syntax, unless I have misread the man....) #virt-clone --file /var/lib/xen/images/testdisk.dsk ...result: "What is the name or uuid of the original virtual machine? So...my question to Cole: "Does the version from the virtual manager site, as per your second provided link, fix the above as well? Or, not yet?" Obviously, if the material at the repository is better/later, I will use it, once I figure out "hg" - which is 'unknown command' on my system, presently. |
