Sorry for the late response. I think the issue is that virt-viewer is failing to launch, probably because this is done on a TTY or over SSH. The default virt-install invocation kind of depends on virt-viewer running to detect when the VM starts up and shuts down. However you can force it to not work that way with --noautoconsole (don't launch virt-viewer) and --wait -1 (wait indefinitely for the VM to shutdown, then restart it) - Cole On 08/06/2014 10:00 PM, Digimer wrote: > On 29/07/14 11:01 AM, Digimer wrote: >> On 29/07/14 10:36 AM, Cole Robinson wrote: >>> On 07/28/2014 12:55 PM, Digimer wrote: >>>> On 28/07/14 12:02 PM, Cole Robinson wrote: >>>>> On 07/28/2014 11:37 AM, Digimer wrote: >>>>>> 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*).
