@Upendra Moturi: the setting of the vnc port is based on the VMID and it's
unique. Also i havent any other applications or vms using vnc.
I think i found the problem: I'm using qcow2 image format to save disk space
and I noticed that the DRIVER attribute is discarded in deployment file
creation and i'm not able to use qcow2 format for my images. Without this i
cant use images created with backing_file either. I put the <driver
name='qemu' type='qcow2' /> by hand in the deployment file and deploy it
manually and the image boot.
To do this i left my "not-booting-vm" running so the link to the image wasnt
deleted, i change few things in the deployment.0 file (the name, the vnc
port, and i've add the driver tag) and used "virsh create deployment.0"
command. The vm works fine and use the image with backing_file option.
I hope this feature will be fixed asap!
Here my template, deployment file generated by opennebula, the correct one,
and the virsh dumpxml output.
