Difficulties building virtual hosts on RHEL6.4

Support
1

Hello,

Until a few months ago when I fatally update my systems from 6.3 to 6.4 I was happily building virtual hosts with Foreman. After doing this update I have not been able to build anything. When I create a host and use the default RAW storage type I get the following errors in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/hostname

This happens with systems that were updated as well as those which were fresh installed with 6.4 . I am pretty certain this is libvirt related but curious if anyone has tripped across this error at all.

Hey Luke,

I am using RHEL 6.4 without any problems on RAW/QCOW2/LVM. I dont use
qemu directly, but via virt-install usually.

I'd file a bug on bugzilla.redhat.com for libvirt folks, try to search
around as well.

I highly recommend to allocate partitions, without allocation there are
known problems with LVM provisioning.

One fact - Puppet was upgraded in EPEL recently to version 2.7. Just an
idea - check if this does not do anything wrong to you.

I'm almost certain that it's not caused by the new version of Puppet,
especially given the description that it was triggered by the upgrade from
6.3 to 6.4.

This happens with systems that were updated as well as those which were
fresh installed with 6.4 . I am pretty certain this is libvirt related but
curious if anyone has tripped across this error at all.
