Hi Michael,<br><br>The problem is that a diskless VM will cause that the transfer driver doesn't get called. This transfer driver is responsible for creating the 'images' directory. If you want t a network-booted machine you can try out the following: in src/vmm_mad/kvm/one_vmm_kvm.rb change line 88 from:<br>
<br> cmd = "cat > #{remote_dfile} && #{LIBVIRT[:create]} #{remote_dfile}"<br><br>to<br><br> deployment_filename = File.baseame remote_dfile<br> images_path = remote_dfile.gsub(deployment_filename,'')<br>
cmd = "mkdir -p #{images_path} && cat > #{remote_dfile} && #{LIBVIRT[:create]} #{remote_dfile}"<br><br><br>Please try this out, and if you find it useful please come back to us with some feedback to we can include it in future releases.<br>
<br>About your second questions, there are two deployment.0 images due to OpenNebula design and its ability to use ssh or nfs. Because the VMM driver doesn't know wihch storage it is being used, OpenNebula always uses a scratch 'images' directory in the remote node were the deployment.0 file and disks are copied from the front-end to there. If the storage is NFS based you end up with two deployment.0 files locally. The 'images' directory is used because doing a cat of a file over the same file will result on a null file. Hope this makes sense :o<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
My ON 1.4beta2/KVM environment is working fine with disk images. ON<br>
cannot start a network-booted machine, however. The problem appears<br>
to be with the path used for the deployment file. If I use this template:<br>
<br>
NAME = onvm1<br>
CPU = 0.5<br>
MEMORY = 512<br>
OS = [ BOOT = network ]<br>
NIC = [ BRIDGE = "br0",<br>
MAC = "00:16:8B:AB:C7:14" ]<br>
GRAPHICS = [type="vnc",listen="127.0.0.1",port="-1"]<br>
<br>
the error log shows:<br>
<br>
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'<br>
<br>
/one_dir/2/images/deployment.0 doesn't exist. But<br>
/one_dir/2/deployment.0 does exist, along with vm.log and the transfer<br>
files. There's no "images" subdirectory.<br>
<br>
On a simple VM with a hard drive, such as this, we do have an images<br>
subdirectory. Oddly, I have separate but identical deployment.0 files<br>
in multiple locations.<br>

Any suggestions, folks?<br>
