OSX KVM woes

[Kryspy]

I cannot get the XML add to do anything. I hit save and nothing happens.  I have followed the guide at the URL listed earlier on. Any ideas?  Running unRAID 6b14b.

Do you have debug enabled in the plugin? That "might" help figure out what's going on. If not, I would just build a generic stock xml from the plugin and then start slowly making it look like the one in the guide. Then you might find out which option is causing the xml not to save...

[Kryspy]

Any chance you could post your XML?  I can just drop it in the domains folder and see if it flies. I'll amend it to my directory structure. Might just be a formatting problem at my end.

Sure, I'll try and remember to post it later tonight.

Same error. I may have to nuke my flash disk and start from scratch to see whats up.

Do this:

 

1)  Use notepad++ or another program to create your XML and save it to your server as a .xml file.

2)  Login via ssh or telnet to your server and navigate to the folder containing the XML file

3)  Type the following command:

 

virsh create your.xml

 

Replace "your" with the name you gave the file.

 

You should get an output message with an error.  Please reply here with that message.

Ok, this is a wierd error:

 

error: Failed to create domain from OSX-Yosemite-10.10.xml
error: internal error: unexpected domain type kvm, expecting xen 

 

I have attached my xml file as well.

 

Kryspy

 

OSX-Yosemite-10.10.xml.txt

[Kryspy]

Umm....looks like I had my unRAID set to auto boot with XEN.  With a default boot without XEN it will add the XML but not start.

 

Error now reads:

 

error: Failed to create domain from OSX-Yosemite-10.10.xml
error: unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup to load the kvm modules./code]

[Kryspy]

Indeed. How did everyone extract there key on a Mac?
