"Permission denied" while creating image

[Shruti Rane]

Hi all,

I am trying to create my own image, but virt-install is giving "permission denied" error.

 # virt-install --name netbsd1 --ram 1024 --os-type linux -c amd64cd-5.1.iso --disk path=/root/netbsd1.img,device=disk,bus=virtio --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --force

Starting install...
ERROR    internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1
2015-01-07T06:29:23.912077Z qemu-kvm: -drive file=/root/netbsd1.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,cache=none: could not open disk image /root/netbsd1.img: Permission denied

Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
  virsh --connect qemu:///system start netbsd1
otherwise, please restart your installation.

Permissions are 755
#ls -l amd64cd-5.1.iso
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 qemu qemu 252114944 Jan  6 12:36 amd64cd-5.1.iso
# ls -l netbsd1.img
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5368709120 Jan  6 13:26 netbsd1.img


Also,
Is there any process to convert .iso image file into .raw file? I am tring to build my image since emis.eucalyptus.com dosen't have required image.

Have you checked our image-guide docs?

Shruti,

The issue that you're seeing relates to that virt-install can't get into /root due to permissions. Move your .img to / or someplace more public, and it should work.

In regards to converting .iso to .raw, yes! You'll want to do this (example is Ubuntu):

 qemu-img convert -O raw ubuntu.img ubuntu.raw

 Hope that helps!

Hi,

I tried qemu-img convert, but after creating emi and running instance with it, console output shows "Booting from harddisk" and fails.

Yes it was netBSD image, but then I tried with centos image and it worked. It worked then.

Thank you

What image are you working from? Was it prepped properly? It’s a netBSD image?
