[OpenNode-users] Failing to create a KVM VM on opennode

[<ope...@li...>]

Hi,

I'm failing to create any VMs using KVM, but this is my first time creating a KVM VM, so be gentle.

I've installed opennode on two Dell 710 servers, then added Clustering and Cluster Storage groups via yum, followed by adding them into a cluster using luci/ricci. This all worked fine. I've just ensured that they are both all upto data with the repos using "yum update". 

I ran the following command (similar to that suggested on the opennode web site), "samba" is a local host that has CentOS on it and our kickstart profiles.

[root@prod1 ~]# virt-install --connect=qemu:///session --name=admin1 --ram=4092 --arch=x86_64 --vcpus=4 --file=/vz/admin1.img --file-size=8 --bridge=vmbr0 --vnc --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel5 --location=http://samba/kickstart/CentOS/5/os/x86_64 --extra-args="ks=http://samba/kickstart/profile/ogweb.cf" --accelerate --hvm 
ERROR    Host does not support virtualization type 'hvm' for arch 'x86_64'

And have tried variations on that, basically it doesn't appear to be of the opinion that KVM is present and works. 

I guess I'm missing something really obvious? But I can't see what.

Cheers, Ed.
