Cannot boot centos image
Hello
I'm going through the OpenStack https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/overview.html#example-architecture (installation guide) and I want to create the Controller Node.
Therefore I created a VM using QEMU and I wanted to boot in CentsOS using this image CentOS-7-ppc64le-GenericCloud.qcow2.xz from http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/ (offical OpenStack image list):
But I get "No bootable device" https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cp5xgxuLL00CQ-3XHS8T3h19-tlgL7OF/view?usp=sharing (error).
Why? I'm not getting it. I thought I needed to boot the OS from the image CentOS-7-ppc64le-GenericCloud.qcow2.xz and install the components there that make it into the controller node
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialIntere...: This architecture is for 64-bit IBM POWER8 machines using little endian byte ordering.
Is this the architecture of your Controller?
Definitely not. I didn't realize that it's for a different CPU than the regular X86. i just took the smallest/most-up-to-date image that was on the list. Thanks for the tip!!
Besides, you probably first need to uncompress the qcow2 file before booting from it.
@Bernd Bausch ok. I downloaded (and extracted the
rawfile)CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.raw.tar.gz. Still. Exact same issue. I don't understand what the problem may be.Share the configuration of your VM. Perhaps it expects a qcow2 file instead of a raw file.
