To resolve this you need: * your system subscribed to: rhel-x86_64-server-vt-5-beta * the kvm-qemu-img.x86_64 package installed We can possibly auto-install kvm-qemu-img if we detect you are schedule a KS of a guest using KVM because we can't have koan or spacewalk-koan require the package since this won't work on RHEL Hosts using xen. I vote we punt this off to a later release after looking at this some more. I hesitate to auto-install kvm-qemu-img because that is just one of the required pieces for KVM virtualization to work. Others include libvirt, virt-manager, etc... Ideally we would have Satellite validate the state of your host to check the required RHEL virt packages: libvirt xen (if doing xen) qemu (if doing kvm) we could then setup package installs, start libvirtd, etc.. Not something we can do in 530 thou. Based on comments, it seems that we anticipate folks to correctly have needed packages installed for Virt for an already installed system if they plan to use it as a virt host. Sure, we should and could do more/better checking for Xen and/or KVM components being installed to validate, but for now, moving off 530. Cliff |
