This (admittedly obscure) error just means that the RHEL5.4 host doesn't support the volume cloning API. It was only introduced in 0.6.4 Closing as NOTABUG Eric points out the error message should be fixed Okay, we should give an explicit 'Cloning not supported error' now. Unfortunately it is difficult to detect whether the API is available for a remote connection, so the error will still happen at clone time, but its better than nothing: http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/python-virtinst/rev/c2764fbee918 |
I connect using ssh from my rawhide machine running virt-manager: virt-manager-0.8.0-2.fc12.noarch To my RHEL 5.4 host: libvirt-0.6.3-20.1.el5_4 And I am trying to clone the VM. I changed the name of the new VM and I changed the file name I wanted to use for the new VM image. It then popped up the following error dialog and traceback. Error creating virtual machine clone 'Rawhide2': Couldn't create storage volume 'Rawhide2.img': 'unknown procedure: 125' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/clone.py", line 751, in _async_clone CloneManager.start_duplicate(self.clone_design, meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/CloneManager.py", line 634, in start_duplicate _do_duplicate(design, meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/CloneManager.py", line 659, in _do_duplicate dst_dev.setup(meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/VirtualDisk.py", line 905, in setup self._do_create_storage(progresscb) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/VirtualDisk.py", line 771, in _do_create_storage self._set_vol_object(self.vol_install.install(meter=progresscb), File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Storage.py", line 977, in install "'%s': '%s'" % (self.name, str(e))) RuntimeError: Couldn't create storage volume 'Rawhide2.img': 'unknown procedure: 125'
