Package: xcp-xapi
Version: 1.3.2-14
Severity: important
I imported a HVM from a legacy xm environment.
It is attached to one vif, the xenapi management vif
It fails to start:
# xe vm-start uuid=f2ba4767-7b4f-b416-3da6-3fe059ebfc37
The server failed to handle your request, due to an internal error. The
given message may give details useful for debugging the problem.
message: device model failed to initialise: qemu-dm exitted unexpectedly
I've seen exactly the same error when I attach another Linux HVM to an
internal network (i.e. xapi0, xapi1, ...).
Removing the vif, it is possible to boot these HVMs
I notice that the xcp host only has a small number of qemu packages
installed:
# dpkg --list | grep qemu
ii qemu-keymaps 1.1.2+dfsg-5 all
QEMU keyboard maps
ii qemu-utils 1.1.2+dfsg-5 i386
QEMU utilities
while the legacy squeeze/xm environment has packages such as
xen-qemu-dm-4.0, so maybe xcp-xapi is not bringing in all necessary
dependencies?
