 Posted: Sun Dec 18, 2011 12:40 am Post subject: Permission denied during local start script |
 |
|
I recently posted about trying to start/stop a vm automatically when my server boots: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-904312-highlight-.html. I've got virsh working, but I'm encountering a very odd problem. So, I made a script at /etc/local.d/90_start-x86_vm.start
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
echo "Starting x86_vm..."
virsh start x86_vm
echo "Done" |
As my regular user, I can run virsh start x86_vm and everything works great; but when the computer starts, I see this when it tries to run my local start script:
| Code: | Starting x86_vm...
error: Failed to start domain x86_vm
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/gentoo-i386.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=qcow2: could not open disk image /var/lib/libvirt/images/gentoo-i386.img: Permission denied
Done |
I tried running it with sudo instead by doing "sudo -u jrann virsh start x86_vm" in the script (jrann is my normal user), but I got the same message. I find it very strange because I can take my normal user and do "/etc/local.d/90_start-x86_vm.start", and it works fine. Here's the vm configuration:
| Code: | <domain type='qemu' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>

Any ideas? |

Have you googled for the words: "permission denied" "internal error process exited while connecting to monitor" "open disk image"?
It seems like a virtualization issue, and the subject title "Permission denied during local start script" must be wrong, failing to draw attention of VM gurus.
(Sorry, I can't help.)

Funny, I googled similar words tto get here. I think I have may have a possible fix. The problem seems to be perms settings for libvirt's use of qemu. In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, uncomment the two settings like so:
| Code: | # The user ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance.
user = "root"
# The group ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance.
group = "root"

I actually used a group of libvirtd, you may need to tweak accordingly. Then restart libvirtd and try again.
