Hi there, I’m new to CentOS. I’ve installed version 6.5 x86_64. I’m coming from slackware/debian utilizzation environment. I’m trying to setup libvirt and qemu–kvm, but I have some problems.

I’ve different vms (2 CentOS, 2 slackware, 3 Debian) and I’m trying to import all of them. I want prefix that all of them was created from debian host and vdisk had bus=sata and format=qcow2.

Importing debian I’ve no problem with the following command:

# virt-install -n DEB -r 1024 –vcpus=2 –accelerate –os-type=linux
–os-variant

  • Hi list, I’ve ridden carefully the reported error. Seems to be some features from qcow2 format image (create with a newer version of qemu-kvm) that can’t be used with qemu version shipped with CentOS 6.5.

    To accomplish my work, I’ve followed a chain of conversions. I’ve copied the image on a guest with a newer version of qemu-kvm and converted all qcow2 image in a raw format. Then on CentOS, I’ve reconverted them in a qcow2 format (this time with supported features)
    and I’ve started them without problems.

    At the end:

    [qcow2 featured] [conversion qemu 1.7.0] -> [raw] -> [conversion with CentOS qemu-img] -> [qcow2 supported].

    Solved.
