Hi Alex, Your syntax is incorrect,
1. /action syntax is: 'action <type> <id> <action> [parent-object identifiers] [attribute options]' 2. to see detailed help for this action do: 'help action vm vm2 start' or 'help action' 3. in your case /action syntax should be: 'action vm vm2 start ...' 4. also --host-identifier option is not available in this action, please use auto-completion or /help to see available options, for more details, see [1] [1] http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/CLI On 11/06/2012 12:46 AM, Alex Leonhardt wrote: > hi, > > to make it easier for me to play with VMs, I thought of using the ovirt cli > to start a VM whenever I want to rebuild it, however, the CLI command below > keeps failing - any > pointers ? > > action vm start --vm-os-kernel > /var/www/html/repo/centos/6/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz --vm-os-initRd > /var/www/html/repo/centos/6/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img > --vm-os-boot "ks=http://172.30.0.1/ks/dev/solrm01-dev.ks ksdevice=eth0 > ip=172.30.0.249 netmask=255.255.255.0" --host-identifier vm2 > > > alex > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Michael Pasternak RedHat, ENG-Virtualization R&D _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
