Virt-manager issues

I'm not sure of this is the correct forum for this, but it seemed like the best fit. Anyway, I'm trying to spin up a virtual server using fedora and virt-manager and I'm having issues.

First, I'm attempting to install a new VM over the network, but keep running into storage issues. First, I can't install off of local disk media as virt-manager claims that nothing is there. The drop down menu correctly identifies the fedora disk in the try. I can't install off of an iso either. I found a thread online suggesting I create a storage pool for my isos and so I did, but after clicking on the "finish" button I get an internal process error essentially telling me that it cannot read the iso. I'm logged in as root so I don't think permission are the issue. I am able to do all of this locally without issue.
Second, when I try to migrate VMs I get either an "unsafe migration" error or a missing binary error /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm no such file or directory
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Virt-manager issues

I've run into this too. When you connect to a remote system's libvirtd then it won't allow you to resolve storage for the remote system. I *believe* that new in F17, they intend to use the Ceph distributed file system for the management of images and storage and migration, but I haven't figured out how to configure it yet.

http://libvirt.org/storage.html

In the mean time I found I can "ssh -Y ..." to the remote system, start virt-manager as tho' you were local and proceed.

Re: Virt-manager issues

I think that will work. Have you found a fix for the migration issue?
