my system is Opensuse 13.2 on a HP server, everything works perfectly.
I then installed KVM server,KVM tools, and libvirt LXC daemon via yast in order to create vm.
during the KVM installation, the system auto configured the network bridge so my system has br0 (with IP 10.0.0.47) created.
then I start to create the first vm via v.m. manager, tried few times, but each time it freezes at the “system probing” stage, takes hours.
when i type ifconfig again and see there is vnet0 there without any IP address asigned to.
not sure why it’s freeze. any ideas? thanks very much.
P.S.: too hard this forum doesn’t support uploading screenshot. will find another host that offer image host.
First,
although there is no ready tool to upload an image in these forums, you can do so if you open your own Wiki pages and to do that is easy… just open a URL using the following template, and since it won’t load an existing page, you will be prompted to create one
http://en.opensuse.org/User:jusplace
After you create your first Wiki page, you’ll see image upload and other tools in the left navigation pane.
You can also upload your image to any other place and use the image embed link, using this method I’ve also displayed images uploaded to github and Google Docs (supports other locations, too)
You should also verify in vm manager that your storage setting points to an accessible location.
You can also see if anything is being recorded to your journal (syslog) while your system is probing.
If you don’t know how to do this, post back to get recommendations/further instructions.
Also, after you “Installed Hypervisor and Tools” using YAST (sounds like you used the applet), did you run a “zypper up” immediately? You should and that might solve your issue.
thank you tsu2 for your help, very appreciated!
I followed your instruction https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre…03#post2696603 to create the first vm.
I did everything via the YAST, and did not run “zypper up” so I just run the “zypper up” and hope it’s not too late.
however, the vm installation still freeze at the “system prob…” stage, I left it running by itself for about two days and today it still indicated running but not go any further.
please see some screen shot here as I am not sure if the network settings are correct:
by the way, I am building this as a test lab within the windows domain. we also have a hardware firewall appliance that directly connected to the external network.
the local LAN’s IP range is 10.0.0.1~254 with default GW 10.0.0.1. not sure if the firewall appliance cause this issue?
