Template: no usable volumes found for VM

[tampler]

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

COMPONENT NAME

Management, Template

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

4.15.1

CONFIGURATION

KVM Hypervisor Basic Zone Storage: virtio

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Ubuntu 20.04.2

SUMMARY

I was trying to create an instance from template and failed with:

"jobresult": {
    "errorcode": 530,
    "errortext": "Unable to create deployment, no usable volumes found for the VM: 22"
  },

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create a proper instance in VirtManager GUI with QEMU + KVM
2. Use virtio 10GB drive for storage
3. Shut down the VM
4. file image.qcow2 - QEMU QCOW2 Image (v3), 10737418240 bytes
5. Create a template from this qcow2 image in CloudStack
6. Verify template status after installation log
7. Create an instance from template
8. Got error message error
9. I indeed do NOT see any volumes in GUI, but I expect CloudStack to create a volume and instance for my template
10. VM description is here

EXPECTED RESULTS

A new instance and volumes are successfully created from the template

ACTUAL RESULTS

503 - no usable volumes found for the VM

The management server cannot find a suitable pool (primary) to deploy your VM on @tampler . The message is a bit misleading but the stackttrace tells you:

@DaanHoogland Okay, and what do I do? I have only a QCOW2 image, which I created on my local machine and can easily run it locally.

Shouldn't volumes be created automatically, when I launch an instance from the QCOW2 template? My instance should use the VM template ROOT system Plus I added an extra volume to it

Note, that CloudStack creates a volume for a new instance automatically, when I use my ISO. I'd expect to have the same functionality when creating an instance for a QCOW2 template.

@tampler, when you deploy a VM from a template CS creates a volume automatically. I saw the log with the error but it doesn't match the steps you have mention:

• Create an instance from template

• Got error message error

the error in the log says that you're trying to start a VM, but what happened with the failed deployment has to be in another log

And you can't run a VM in error state from your VM description "state": "Error"

[DaanHoogland]

@tampler in that stacktrace the first line is at com.cloud.deploy.DeploymentPlanningManagerImpl.findSuitablePoolsForVolumes(DeploymentPlanningManagerImpl.java:1470), the message is thrown because there is no primary storage pool that contains the image, not because there is no image. @slavkap is probably right when she says that the deployment failed.

Hi @tampler, as @slavkap pointed out the logs you have shared belong to a startVirtualMachine API:

Can you please repeat the deployment of a new VM from the template and share the logs for the deployVirtualMachine API?

This error was a result of SSVM misconfiguration. Before deploying VMs, make sure to have ssvm-check.sh running without errorrs
