Hi,

First of all pls, forgive me, I'm new and may be missing something simple. Some messages in the nova-compute.log seem curious.

ie. "libvirtError: internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm' " I also see an entries for qemu and kvm. I think I should be using kvm according to my nova.conf.

Any pointers very welcome.

Sure, you probably need to up your instances quota and your cores quota with nova-manage project quota (You could also just delete everything from the instances table or delete and recreate the database)

does your computer support hardware virtualization? It may be turned off in the bios because it doesn't look like libvirt can find it.

If it doesn't support hardware virt, you can use --libvirt_type=qemu

Hi Vish,

Thanks for the quick response I have now added that setting to the nova.conf and rebooted. New error now.

"InstanceLimitExceeded: Instance quota exceeded"

Have increased the number to 32 and rebooted but same problem. I am guessing this has something to do with needing to clean up the other failed instances from previous attempts as seen below in red? Just a poor guess though?

Any thoughts?

BTW: This is what I did to try increase the quota.

sudo nova-manage project quota dev chris_key 100
in nova.conf, I set num_networks=32 (it was set to 1)

Vish Ishaya proposed the following answer: does your computer support hardware virtualization? It may be turned off in the bios because it doesn't look like libvirt can find it.

If it doesn't support hardware virt, you can use --libvirt_type=qemu
