Hi all,
I've noticed that, for reasons I am not entirely sure of (though may exist
and be valid), newly provisioned EL6 and EL7 VMs stay off after pressing
"reboot" at the end of the OS install (--os-variant rhel*). I've seen this
behaviour on RHEL/CentOS 6.x and various recent Fedoras. Note that when I
install other OSes, the VM reboots properly.
Why would this be? Is this designed behaviour? Installing the same on
bare-iron nodes reboots properly.
The VM should be restarting... can you show an example command line and full
virt-install --debug output? Make sure you aren't passing --noreboot or --wait
timeout that is expiring.
The way it's supposed to work is that the VM fully shuts down, virt-install
changes the VM configuration to boot off the now installed disk, and restarts
the VM. It does this by telling VM to shutdown rather than perform a soft
reboot with <on_reboot>destroy</on_reboot> in the VM XML. It does this for all
VM installs regardless of the OS.
When the VM shuts down after install, virt-install should update the config,
restart the VM, and exit. But clearly that's failing here

Here is an example install which showed the problem. It is very similar to how
I do all my EL6/EL7 installs (save for sometimes installing from PXE/http):
virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
--name an-a03n01 \
--ram 2048 \
--arch x86_64 \
--vcpus 2 \
--cdrom /mnt/usb/VMs/files/CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-Everything.iso \
--os-variant rhel7 \
--network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio \
--network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio \
--network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio \
--network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio \
--network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio \
--network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio \
--disk path=/mnt/usb/VMs/images/an-a03n01.img,bus=virtio,size=40 \
--graphics vnc
I just tried a centos 7 install from cdrom with a nearly identical command
line using stock f20 host, and virt-install rebooted the guest correctly at
the end of the VM install. So you'll need to provide the virt-install --debug
output of a failing invocation so I can see what's going wrong
Thanks,
Cole
OK, I will try to get that to you later today or tomorrow. Thanks!
