DomU fail to start - internal error: libxenlight failed

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Virtualization

Hi,

my DomU (Windows server on partition disk) fails to start. I haven’t been able to find useful log information - any ideas where to look or start troubleshooting?

The message from virsh:
error: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain ‘loke’

XML:

loke

Hi,
I ended up simply undefining the old machine and re-create the DomU from the graphical interface.
Comparing XML from old and new machine, the changed lines are:

<emulator>/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/md11'/>
Now the DomU starts and runs without any issues :smiley:
