[one-users] Failed to create VM domain

[Valentin Bud]

Hi,

I have managed to get OpenNebula running on a CentOS 6.3 host.

First thing that comes in mind is polkit. I honestly don't remember the
exact error I have received but I do know that OpenNebula didn't work until
I have configure polkit.

# cat
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/50-org.libvirt.unix.manage-opennebula.pkla

[Allow oneadmin user to manage virtual machines]
Identity=unix-user:oneadmin
Action=org.libvirt.unix.manage
#Action=org.libvirt.unix.monitor
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

Also qemu is configured to run under oneadmin user and group

# cat /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf | egrep "^user|^group"
user = "oneadmin"
group = "oneadmin"

Another problem I have encountered using libvirt installed from rpm is that
the VMs won't start complaining that some lsi device is missing if you use
IDE or SCSI disks. This is easy, just go with virtio devices. I think the
simplest way to setup this would be to edit /etc/one/oned.conf and change
DEFAULT_DEVICE_PREFIX.

DEFAULT_DEVICE_PREFIX = "vd"

Other than that I've had no problems. Well one more, but that's specific to
my environment. I user OpenNebula with RVM for Ruby and the init.d script
couldn't find the ruby executable. For everyone who's interested in this I
have added the RVM ruby path to $PATH in oned init.d script:

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

RETVAL=0
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p370/bin/

Oh, one more thing, I have installed OpenNebula 3.6 from source.

Good Will,
v
