Hi,
I'm using virsh to instance a VM in my environment, but I'm running on
some issues. I created the following domain file:
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>demovm</name>
<uuid>4a9b3f53-fa2a-47f3-a757-dd87720d9d1d</uuid>
<memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory>
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='2' unit='M' nodeset='0'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
<vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu>
<cputune>
<shares>4096</shares>
<vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='4'/>

</numa>

</interface>
<serial type='pty'>
<target port='0'/>
</serial>
<console type='pty'>
<target type='serial' port='0'/>
</console>
</devices>
</domain>
When I run:
virsh create domain.xml
I got the following error:
error: Failed to create domain from domain.xml
error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor:
2017-04-17T17:00:37.012369Z qemu-kvm: -drive
file=fat:/usr/src/dpdk-stable-16.11.1,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,readonly=on:
Driver 'vvfat' is not whitelisted
If I comment the disk that cause this error, the instance starts without
error. Is there a way to whitelist this vvfat driver to instance this
VM?
And the strange thing about this error is that when I check the
available drives, there is vvfat in the list:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive format=?
Supported formats: ftps http null-aio null-co file quorum blkverify
vvfat blkreplay qed raw qcow2 bochs dmg vmdk parallels vhdx vpc https
sheepdog host_cdrom ssh host_device nbd gluster qcow iscsi rbd tftp ftp
vdi blkdebug luks cloop
Here some information about the environment:
cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
virsh --version
