xenguest-install error - xen - Fedora mailing-lists

29 Oct 2006


      This is from FC5:
Starting install...
libvir: error : operation virDomainCreateLinux forbidden for read only access
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py", line 460, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py", line 451, in main
    start_paravirt_install(name, ram, disk, mac, uuid, src, options.extra)
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py", line 331, in start_paravirt_install
    dom = conn.createLinux(cfgxml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 249, in createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed')
Changing to call to openReadOnly() to open() (as per an August post to
fedora-devel suggests) gives this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py", line 460, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py", line 451, in main
    start_paravirt_install(name, ram, disk, mac, uuid, src, options.extra)
  File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py", line 324, in start_paravirt_install
    conn = libvirt.open(None)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 39, in open
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: virConnectOpen() failed
Has anyone successfully used xenguest-install.py under FC5 recently?
