I am attempting to create my first VM with Ubuntu 26.04. I downloaded, but I did not add the checksum (is this required?). I have seen exit code 11 and exit code 23. I have tried several different combination of VM settings, but it seems to be failing while extracting the .iso?? Not really sure what is failing.

Hi,

Have you checked with other OS like debian ?

Note : you should always check the checksum of an iso (when the editor gives them) to make sure that your download and the ISO are good.

Best regards,
 
Ok, good to know a SAN is involved. Is your SAN also read-only on the host, outside of the VM?
Anything useful/relevant in the systemd journal (journalctl -e) or kernel logs (dmesg -T) ?
 
Here is the output of <journalctl -e>
Code:

And this is the output of <dmesg -T> (Shortened, because it was too long for the post).

That does not look very related. You can also keep journalctl -ef and dmesg -wT open while trying the install and see if that tells you anything.
Did you try to write on the SAN from the host?

Veeam was able to install it's own VM for migrating, and I have migrated over one VM (although it will not boot because it cannot find it's drive). So I do not understand why the Veeam VM works...
