[one-users] path error when PXE-booting VMs

[Michael W. Lucas]

Hi,

My ON 1.4beta2/KVM environment is working fine with disk images.  ON
cannot start a network-booted machine, however.  The problem appears
to be with the path used for the deployment file.  If I use this template:

NAME   = onvm1
CPU    = 0.5
MEMORY = 512
OS      = [ BOOT   = network ]
NIC     = [ BRIDGE = "br0",
           MAC = "00:16:8B:AB:C7:14" ]
GRAPHICS = [type="vnc",listen="127.0.0.1",port="-1"]

the error log shows:

Wed Nov 11 15:14:34 2009 [VMM][D]: Message received: LOG - 2 Command execution fail: 'cat > /one_dir/2/images/deployment.0 && virsh --connect qemu:///system create /one_dir/2/images/deployment.0'

/one_dir/2/images/deployment.0 doesn't exist.  But
/one_dir/2/deployment.0 does exist, along with vm.log and the transfer
files.  There's no "images" subdirectory.

On a simple VM with a hard drive, such as this, we do have an images
subdirectory.  Oddly, I have separate but identical deployment.0 files
in multiple locations.

Any suggestions, folks?

Thanks,
