[virt-tools-list] virt-install cannot determine proper disk type on remote host

[Marko Todorić]

Hello Cole, thanks for the reply!

So I've tried adding 'type=block' to '--disk' virt-install option and on both versions metioned i get this error message:
"ERROR    Unknown --disk options: ['type']"
Command i used is this:

virt-install --connect=qemu+ssh://kvm_aquila-01/system --name=proba-3 --hvm --graphics vnc --disk path=/dev/mapper/proba-3,bus=virtio,type=block,cache=none --vcpus=2 --memory=2048 --cdrom=/ISO/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1810.iso --boot hd,cdrom,menu=on --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel7 --network bridge=br7,model=virtio --noreboot

Maybe "type" was implemented in some later versions of libvirt/virt-install ? (i use 2.1.0 on my laptop and 1.5.0 on servers).

I tried adding mpath storage pool, and that seem to have worked! I've tried to install from node2 to node1, it worked. I also issued the same command from my laptop and that worked too! So thanks a lot!

Srdačan pozdrav,
