Can't create KVM VPS on SolusVM

Hello.

I've been trying to setup a personal node and installed SolusVM with KVM virtualization however when I try to create a KVM VPS I get the following error:

2015-08-11 22:21:05.195+0000: 2130: error : virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse:952 : Failed to open file '/dev/sda5/kvm101_img': Not a directory

2015-08-11 22:21:05.196+0000: 2130: error : qemuRemoveCgroup:785 : internal error Unable to find cgroup for kvm101

2015-08-11 22:21:05.196+0000: 2130: warning : qemuProcessStop:4613 : Failed to remove cgroup for kvm101

The partition exists fine:

[root@vpsserver dev]# fdisk -l

Do you have any pointers what I should be checking next to resolve the issue?

  • There is no volume group for Solus to create logical volumes in. I'm not sure, but in the solus admin cp you may be able to set the node to use the VG of vg but I would re-format and setup a logical volume group for Solus / KVM itself to use.

    If you have a LVM partition made then you just need to create a volume group and fill in that volume groups name you make in the node settings on solusvm admin

  • I've never had great success with modifying sizing of the VGs and imo its just easier if no VMs are created to re-format (plus it will show you what to do next time) ;)

    @VPSSoldiers

    I've resized before but yes, I agree. Go for a re format and see how to do it the right way this time. Re sizing can get confusing too depending on experience

  • All resolved, it was a error on my part. I just had to specify the LV group value as 'vg' instead of 'sda5' which I specified before.

    Glad you got it resolved :)
