Hi all, I am learning my way around with KVM. I have a Dell PowerEdge R410 server that I installed 11.04 amd64 on. I then created two guests and installed 10.04.3 amd64 on each. Everything was working up to this point.
Today, I decided to try the upgrade to 11.10 for the host OS. I did a virsh save <guest-name> <save-file> for each guest and then upgraded the host OS. The upgrade seemed to progress without incident. I let the host restart during the upgrade and once it was done I was able to SSH back in to the host. I should note that my home directory on the host is encrypted and I have setup SSH with keys so I can login to the host from my desktop without entering a password. When I login this way my home directory on the host does not get mounted. After the upgrade I connected from my desktop with the GUI virtual machine manager and saw that both of my guests were running. Great!, I thought. The problem is I am now unable to connect to the console for either guest. If I try to open the console from the GUI app the window display "Connecting to graphical console for guest." I have waited over an hour and the message stays the same. I am also unable to connect to the guest from within virsh through a SSH session. libvirt appears to be working because I can run virsh from SSH and connect with the GUI manager. I am able to suspend/save/start the guest. I am simply unable to view their consoles. Any ideas appreciated.
