[Ovirt-devel] "Call to function virStoragePoolDefineXML failed" error when trying to boot ISO

[Mike Butler]

I did as your referenced messages suggested and changed the cobbler syntax to...
cobbler image add --name=winxp --file=192.168.50.2:/cobblernfs/winxp.iso --image-type=iso

I end up with the same error - Call to function virStoragePoolDefineXML failed.  Any ideas?  I'm going to try recopying the iso's to see if that helps. 

 

Here's an output of /var/lib/cobbler/config/images.d/01_Windows_Server_2003
(which does show up in the drop down)
 
[root at management images.d]# cat 01_Windows_Server_2003
