New Install: CVM won't start | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

I’ve been trying to get a CE up and running for a few days now.  I keep running into this issue:

CVM will not start after initial install:
eroot@NTNX-0618718a-A ~]# virsh start NTNX-0618718a-A-CVM

error: Failed to start domain 'NTNX-0618718a-A-CVM'

error: Hook script execution failed: internal error: Child process (LC_ALL=C    PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu NTNX-0618718a-A-CVM prepare begin -) unexpected exit status 1: sErrno 2] No such file or directory: '/sys/bus/pci/devices/10000:01:00.0/driver_override'

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.  I’ve not been able to find a solution searching the forums.  I pulled the NVME out of the mix and I”m only using ssd’s and spinners for data. I can ssh into ahv just fine but CVM shows:

2root@NTNX-0618718a-A ~]# virsh list --all

--------------------------------------

 -    NTNX-0618718a-A-CVM   shut off

System Hardware:

  • Fujitsu Primergy RX2530 M4
  • 256GB RAM
  • dual intel cpu’s
  • 2 x INTEL SSD 2TB PCIE modules
  • 4 x 4TB SAS drives
  • 1 x 128GB sata m.2 module
  • Connected to 1gb nic, 10gb exist but are not in use.

I was using the 2 intel ssd’s as cvm disk, 4 SAS drives for data, and m.2 for ahv.  same error when I tried configuring it that way as above. I’ve since pulled the intel SSD’s from the mix and installed an old 256GB SSD in place of 1 of the 4 SAS drives to host the CVM space.  I’ve seen multiple notes that NVMe’s are not recommended or supported so I pulled them from the mix.  Same issue.

Can you share the output of

 

‘virsh dumpxml NTNX-0618718a-A-CVM’
and

‘lspci’


It looks like for some reason a disk was assigned in the CVM that doesn’t actually exist on the bus anymore or was re-enumerated after install.   Might just need a little tweak to the domain xml file and it’ll start up.
