Not looking to get my old vms back.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Post your diagnostics but this is usually the result of a corrupt libvirt.img

I was just getting and looking over the diagnostics:

found this

Mar 31 09:52:35 AMD6Core emhttp: shcmd (10599): set -o pipefail ; /usr/local/sbin/mount_image '/mnt/cache/VMs/IMG/' /etc/libvirt 500 |& logger
Mar 31 09:52:35 AMD6Core root: /mnt/cache/VMs/IMG/ is not a file
Mar 31 09:52:35 AMD6Core emhttp: err: shcmd: shcmd (10599): exit status: 1

 

how do I create a new libvirt.img?

On the 1st screenshot "libvirt storage location" you need to select the img, not the folder like it's currently.

There no longer is an image to select.  How do I create a new libvirt.img?

write the name in the path, e.g.:

 

/mnt/cache/libvirt.img

 

And click apply.

 

/mnt/cache/VMs/libvirt.img

Done.

 

Now works

 

Thanks.

I found this thread and tried the solution with no effect.

 

I get this error

Mar 31 21:59:04 Tower root: mount: /etc/libvirt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

This is even after I added the .iso to the VM Settings page.

 

The VM page is still blank.  What am I (unraid noob) missing here?

You need to specify the libvirt.img location not an ISO
