https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=291963 Summary: Bug in vm-install and xml parsing Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: SLES 10 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Xen AssignedTo: cgriffin@novell.com ReportedBy: sfrancis@santaba.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer 1. When doing interactive vm-install, it fails to accept a url for the autoyast location - it has to be a local filename. To work around this, you can specify autoyast="the URL" as an Additional Argument, which works fine. 2. However, the xml file that is created in /etc/xen/vm from the above will not work as a valid xml file for doing vm-install --vm-settings ./sles10-4.xml --background The installation will start, but the installation sources will not be found. Workaround for this is to remove the install=http:// ... clause from the parameter in the xml file, leave the autoyast clause, and instead specify the installation source on the command line of vm-install, e.g. vm-install --vm-settings ./sles10-4.xml --background --source=http://X.X.X.X/SUSE/SLES-SP1/CD1 Similarly, drive specifications are ignored in the xml file. <devices> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='phy'/> <source dev='/dev/system/dom2'/> <target dev='xvda'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='phy'/> <source dev='/dev/system/dom2.swap'/> <target dev='xvdb'/> </disk> has no effect, but vm-install --vm-settings ./sles10-5.xml --debug --source=http://XXX.XXX.XXX/SUSE/SLES-SP1-x86_64/CD1 --background --disk /dev/system/dom2,xvda --disk /dev/system/dom2.swap,xvdb works fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
