Hi Guys, I have a RHEL6 KVM and would like to install an OpenBSD VM using http. I downloaded install50.iso onto my http server and could see it using my browser. Then I followed the instructions like this on the KVM:
virt-install --hvm --connect qemu:///system --network=bridge:br0 --location=http://10.10.36.134/vm-openbsd/install50.iso --name=vm4-openbsd --ram=2048 --vcpus=2 --os-type=unix --file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm4-openbsd.img --file-size=20 where 10.10.36.134 is my http server and "vm-openbsd" is where I put my install50.iso. This gave me an error: ERROR Error creating cdrom disk: Could not find an installable distribution at 'http://10.10.36.134/vm-openbsd/install50.iso' The location must be the root directory of an install tree. So I though I would loop mount my iso image on the http server but still doesn't work with the same error. This works If I copy the iso onto my kvm machine under /tmp and install like this: virt-install --hvm --connect qemu:///system -c /tmp/install50.iso --name=vm4-openbsd --ram=2048 --vcpus=2 --os-type=unix --file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm4-openbsd.img --file-size=20 So my question is if anyone knows exactly how to do this using http in virt-install. Many thanks! - David
