I could not reproduce this... I tried a couple of guest installs with guest name with hyphens... Forgot to add a couple of details # rpm -q python-virtinst python-virtinst-0.300.2-12.el5 # rpm -q redhat-release redhat-release-5Server-5.3.0.3 and no XenGuest.py found .. I wonder what version of python-virtinst dgoodwin used;... ]# yum info python-virtinst Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security Installed Packages Name : python-virtinst Arch : noarch Version : 0.300.2 Release : 12.el5 Size : 614 k Repo : installed Summary : Python modules for starting Xen guest installations URL : http://virt-manager.org/ License : GPLv2+ Description: virtinst is a module to help in starting installations of Fedora/Red Hat Enterprise Linux related distributions : inside of virtual machines. It supports both paravirt guests (for which only FC and RHEL guests are currently : supported) as well as fully virtualized guests. It uses libvirt (http://www.libvirt.org) for starting things. : Also contained is a simple script virt-install which uses virtinst in a command line mode.

Description of problem: Virt guest kickstarts can fail is the guest name specified in the UI has invalid characters. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090422.2-i386-embedded-oracle.iso How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Schedule a virt kickstart in the web UI. 2. Specify a guest name of ui-guest1 3. Actual results: rhn_check prints out: D: handle_action actionid = 89, version = 2 D: do_call kickstart_guest.initiate ('rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com', 'rlx-2-14.rhndev.redhat.com:1:ui-guest1', 'xenpv', 47, 'ui-guest1', 524288, 1, 5, 'xenbr0', '/var/lib/xen/rhel5-para-virt-guest', 'ks=http://rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com/ty/SCxASL4v ksdevice=eth0 ') - looking for Cobbler at http://rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com/cobbler_api - reading URL: http://rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/rlx-2-14.rhndev.redhat.com:1:ui-guest1 install_tree: http://rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com:80/ty/j8PDFhRC downloading initrd initrd.img to /var/lib/xen/initrd.img url=http://rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com/cobbler/images/ks-rhel-i386-server-5:xen/initrd.img - reading URL: http://rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com/cobbler/images/ks-rhel-i386-server-5:xen/initrd.img downloading kernel vmlinuz to /var/lib/xen/vmlinuz url=http://rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com/cobbler/images/ks-rhel-i386-server-5:xen/vmlinuz - reading URL: http://rlx-0-18.rhndev.redhat.com/cobbler/images/ks-rhel-i386-server-5:xen/vmlinuz exceptions.ValueError Domain name must be alphanumeric or _ File "/usr/share/rhn/spacewalkkoan/spacewalkkoan.py", line 116, in initiate_guest k.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 296, in run self.virt() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 584, in virt return self.net_install(after_download) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 503, in net_install after_download(self, profile_data) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 582, in after_download self.virt_net_install(profile_data) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 1051, in virt_net_install virt_type = self.virt_type File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/xencreate.py", line 104, in start_install guest.set_name(name) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py", line 196, in set_name raise ValueError, "Domain name must be alphanumeric or _" D: Sending back response (0, 'Guest kickstart initiated successfully.', {}) D: do_call packages.checkNeedUpdate ('rhnsd=1',) D: Called refresh_rpmlist Updating package profile D: local action status: (0, 'rpmlist refreshed', {}) D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Providename D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: closed db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: May free Score board((nil)) [root@rlx-2-14 ~]# Expected results: UI should reject guest name with - in them, probably worth testing other characters. Additional info: Also note the "guest kickstart initiated successfully". We believe this is causing confusion in the web UI as well, not sure if it should be handled as a separate bug or not.
