Ubuntu cloud image issue

akv · Nov 30, 2019

Hello,

I followed the instructions from this article Cloud-Init Support

Code:

wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
qm create 9000 --memory 2048 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0
qm importdisk 9000 bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img local-lvm
qm set 9000 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-9000-disk-1
qm set 9000 --ide2 local-lvm:cloudinit
qm set 9000 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0
qm set 9000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0
qm template 9000

As a result, after cloning, the virtual machine does not boot.

Same thing is happening to me too.

Look through the output of pvesm list local-lvm, does it contain local-lvm:vm-9000-disk-1? Could be the importdisk command create a disk with the name vm-900-disk-0 instead. If so you will have to set it to the correct one: qm set 9000 --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-9000-disk-0

I saw that same post, but I confirmed that was not the issue. I did not have any errors on the "set" command either. i confirmed that in the GUI, it showed "unused disk" and once I ran the "set" command, it made it the hard disk.

Code:

root@virthost01:~# pvesm list local-lvm
Volid                      Format  Type            Size VMID
local-lvm:vm-100-cloudinit raw     images       4194304 100

vmgenid: 85474c28-2717-4998-8e86-02e256ebe08f

And the command I run (I didn't use the 9000 id - but I tried that ID before)...

Code:

qm set 100 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-100-disk-1

I also tried Xenial (16.04 Ubuntu) with the same type of results.

Any thoughts?

pve 6.1 also doesn’t fix this issue.

bennysp · Dec 6, 2019

@mira any ideas on this issue?

mira · Dec 6, 2019

I haven't yet tried it, will do so as soon as possible. But we had a problem months ago where the cloudimg did not use any of the settings passed in. So perhaps there's something wrong with the cloudimg itself. Does 19.04 or a newer one work? Could you try a normal Ubuntu installation?

Could be that the default cloud-init configuration needs to be changed if you're using the Server one, here are some experiences from other users: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cloud-init-on-ubuntu-not-using-ubuntu-cloud-images.45107/

I tried the ubuntu cloud image 19.04 and 20.04, without success. Normal installation works.

This feels like what I am looking at as well. I tried to start some successfully cloned templates as VM's today and they wouldn't start either.

And it is bizarre that kvm gets an error in the above on opening vm-102-disk-0.qcow2 given this:

Code:

$ ls -l
total 37
-rw-r----- 1 root root 5570560 Dec  6 21:25 vm-102-cloudinit.qcow2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  196864 Dec  5 21:48 vm-102-disk-0.qcow2
$ pwd
/var/lib/vz/images/102
$

Thoughts?

Same issue here.

I am using the instructions from here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cloud-Init_Support

I am using proxmox 6.1-3

When it boots, it says "No bootable device"

My exact commands are as follows:

Code:

wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

qm create 9000 --memory 2048 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0

qm importdisk 9000 bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img vmstorage

qm set 9000 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 vmstorage:vm-9000-disk-0

qm set 9000 --ide2 vmstorage:cloudinit

qm set 9000 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0

qm set 9000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0

All of those commands complete successfully.

Then, I click Start on the GUI and open the Console, and it loops over and over with no bootable disk.

That fixed it!!! Renaming .img to .qcow2 and it works fine now. Thanks!
