Hi. I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2/dual core processor and 2 gigs of ram running
SXDE/87 (as far as I can tell, it's on a ufs filesystem, not zfs). I'm
attempting to install Vista from cd and the virt-install command fails with the
same error regardless of what I do. I'm running this from my user (not root)
account. I'm using qemu-img to create my hard drive images.
Here's the cut and paste from gnome-terminal:
bash-3.2$ uname -a
SunOS pacifica 5.11 snv_87 i86pc i386 i86xpv
bash-3.2$ virt-install --name Vista1 -r 1024 --location /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2
--file $HOME/guests/Vista1.img --vnc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 657, in ?
main()
File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 509, in main
conn = libvirt.open(options.connect)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/libvirt.py", line 135, in open
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: virConnectOpen() failed
I have also tried using "--cdrom" instead of "--location" and "--ram" instead
of "-r", I've also typed out the full pathname for $HOME and I've gotten the
same error message.
This doesn't seem to be vista or cd specific, as I got the same results when I
attempted to make a windows 2003 guest:
bash-3.2$ virt-install --name 2k3-1 -r 512 --location
/export/home/user/Documents/iso/w2k3/2k3.iso --file
/export/home/user/guests/2k3-1.img --vnc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 657, in ?
main()
File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 509, in main
conn = libvirt.open(options.connect)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/libvirt.py", line 135, in open
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: virConnectOpen() failed
I've read and I'm sttumped, I have amd vt extentions and I am booting into dom0
(as you can see from the output of uname -a). I have no idea what is going
wrong or how to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
PS apologies in advance if this is posted twice.
