To confirm, compare the output of these commands between your two boxes: virsh pool-list virsh pool-info default > > The error seems to point to a missing image, however I've checked and > the image exists on that folder on the remote server. Not a missing image, so much as a missing storage pool. Libvirt can only clone files that live in a storage pool, and we haven't yet wired it up to be smart enough to auto-instantiate a transient pool around the directory of all files that are not already in a persistent pool (although I someday want to get to that point). > This error doesn't happen on the Debian machine.

Again, probably a case of your distro automatically installing a 'default' pool. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
