[Spacewalk-list] Error from koan on create attempt of KVM VM

[Matt Willsher]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the provisioning of KVM VMs using Spacewalk 1.8
working, but I'm having a problem with koan starting the build. I've
defined the virtual bridge in spacewalk to be one (or several) that
exists on the host.

The rhn_check output is the same as if I run  'koan --server
spacewalk.my.domain.somewhere -y node2.my.domain.somewhere:2:test1  -B
br20 --virt'

Spacewalk is running in a VM on the same VM host (it is vnet0 in the
brctl show output below)


Thanks,
Matt

on the spacewalk server:
spacewalk# cobbler system dumpvars --name
node2.my.domain.somewhere:2:test1 | grep virt_bridge
default_virt_bridge : xenbr0
interfaces : {'eth0': {'dhcp_tag': '', 'subnet': '', 'virt_bridge':
'', 'static_routes': [], 'dns_name': '', 'bonding': '', 'static':
False, 'bonding_opts': '', 'mac_address': '00:16:3e:56:e2:51',
'bonding_master': '', 'ip_address': ''}}
virt_bridge : br20
virt_bridge_eth0 :

on the vm host:
node2# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)

node2# rpm -qa | grep koan
spacewalk-koan-1.8.3-1.el6.noarch
