Open wideawakening opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

Summary

  • tutorial: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-install-a-windows-11-vm-using-lxd

  • step: 3

  • issue: when using a cluster setup and trying to lxc config device from a node that is not the same as where the instance is place, you get following error

    (from node03)
    
    $ lxc config device add win11 install disk source="/home/ubuntu/win11.lxd.iso" boot.priority=10
    Error: Failed add validation for device "install": Missing source path "/var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/win11.lxd.iso" for disk "install"
    
    $ ls -lh /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/win11.lxd.iso
    -rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 5.7G Oct 14 14:17 /home/ubuntu/win11.lxd.iso
    
    $ lxc info win11
    Name: win11
    Status: STOPPED
    Type: virtual-machine
    Architecture: x86_64
    Location: node01

  • suggested solution: add a note on the tutorial raising notice on it

    Make sure to launch this commands on the same node where the targeted instance is placed with lxc info win11

Steps to reproduce the behavior

follow the tutorial and launch the pointed lxc command from a node different from the one where the instance is placed.

Expected behavior

you will get previously pointed error
