Hi,
while upgrading one of my vmm(4) VMs I noticed the following behaviour and
wondering whether it's a bug or a feature.
I have the following test VM defined:
vm "obsd-1" {
disable
memory 1024M
owner xhr
boot "/bsd"
disk "/home/xhr/VMs/obsd-vmm-1.img"
interface {
switch "local"
}
}
When I now want to upgrade the VM, I need to start the VM with bsd.rd as
kernel. However, I have to change the boot option in vm.conf to bsd.rd
and cannot supply bsd.rd as argument to vmctl start:
$ vmctl start obsd-1 -c -b /tmp/bsd.rd
vmctl: starting without disks
vmctl: starting without network interfaces
vmctl: start vm command failed: Operation already in progress
Wouldn't it be easier to just supply -b from the CLI and get the
remaining info from vm.conf? ATM I am changing vm.conf and reloading
vmd as root. Or am I overlooking sth here?
Cheers
Matthias
