Issues creating a new virtual machine

[ira@…]

Hi, am creating an ubuntu 10.04 vm following these steps:

1. Add VM
2. Add NAT network interface
3. Add CD iso
4. Add new disk image

When I hit 'save changes' it tries to change two modules: firewall and another that fails before it tells you what it is

Here is the out put of the error message: element mac does not exist. element mac does not exist. at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Model/Row.pm line 409 EBox::Model::Row::elementByName('EBox::Model::Row=HASH(0x9476d80)', 'mac') called at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Model/Row.pm line 496 EBox::Model::Row::valueByName('EBox::Model::Row=HASH(0x9476d80)', 'mac') called at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Virt/Model/NetworkSettings.pm line 166 EBox::Virt::Model::NetworkSettings::isEqual('EBox::Virt::Model::NetworkSettings?=HASH(0x93d36e8)', 'virt3219') called at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Virt/Model/VirtualMachines.pm line 206 EBox::Virt::Model::VirtualMachines::vmChanged('EBox::Virt::Model::VirtualMachines?=HASH(0x937d848)', 'virt3219') called at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Virt.pm line 359 EBox::Virt::_saveConfig('EBox::Virt=HASH(0x7aa4720)') called at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Module/Base.pm line 229 EBox::Module::Base::save('EBox::Virt=HASH(0x7aa4720)') called at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/GlobalImpl.pm line 606 EBox::GlobalImpl::saveAllModules('EBox::GlobalImpl?=HASH(0x3c3c7e0)', 'progress', 'EBox::ProgressIndicator?=HASH(0x3c6c668)') called at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Global.pm line 95 EBox::Global::AUTOLOAD('EBox::Global=HASH(0x3c6ca58)', 'progress', 'EBox::ProgressIndicator?=HASH(0x3c6c668)') called at /usr/share/zentyal/global-action line 39

My hardware setup is as follows:

i7 2600, 16 GB RAM, 3x 36GB HDD in RAID0, 2x 2TB in RAID1, Motherboard supports VT-x, VT-d.

Oh and it's Zentyal 2.2.2!

Deleted Virtual Machine and made a new one with same name and still had same issues. Made one with a different name and it works now. Most likely conflicting with old settings that weren't deleted...

[don@…]

Had the same error so I deleted virtual machine, added new virtual machine, add hd, add cd pointing to an image file, boot VM and all looks fine (if I could log into it with vnc :-()

Now I want to remove the CD image and I get the error again.

Core version 2.2.3

I have exactly same problem as don@

[rintjema.s@…]

This problem is caused by the name of the virtual machine. Example

If you use "Server Branch Office" it will fail. Use server01 instead, it will work.

(In [23561]) Restricted names of virtual machines to avoid problems with virtsh and other quoting troubles closes #3340

Thanks to all for your reports.

I had tried to fix this but unfortunately the program 'virtsh' refuses to accept anmes with spaces.

So I had to restrict the names to a small character set without spaces.

If you have this problem, please edit your virtual machine name and remove spaces or non-ASCII characters.

I don't think that problem is in machine name and virsh utility. I'm using virtualbox and keep getting this error.

Logs for VirtualBox?

Hello Aleks, the name problem was real, yours was a different problem but it is fixed now in the repository.

If you don't want to wait for a new release, you can hotfix your server with this steps:

1) Replace /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Virt/Model/NetworkSettings with the new version at

2) Restart interface webserver with: 'sudo /etc/init.d/zentyal apache restart'.

3) Unluckily is very probable that you old machine contains corrupted configuration data after the error, so I advise you delete it and create a new one.

Regards,

Javier
