Citrix XenServer VM fails with 'virtual-size' error.

Submitted by yorkukhosting on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 16:11

Hi,

We have a test standalone XenServer (5.6) running, however whenever we try to create a VM the following error is generated by Cloudmin 5.0:

Creating virtual system with Citrix Xen .. .. creation failed : Failed to create root disk : VDI creation failed : Error: Failed to parse field 'virtual-size': expecting an integer (possibly with suffix)

I have tried all possible combinations of parameters but it always seems to return the message listed above. Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug?

Regards, Nathan.

Closed (fixed)

What options did you select on the system creation form?

Was this an empty VM, or one from an image? Also, what did you set as the disk size?

Actually, I see the cause now - some of our Citrix Xen images are missing size information.

This has now been corrected. To get the fix, go to Cloudmin Settings -> New System Images , and click on the image you used (like "CentOS 5.4 Citrix Xen instance with base OS"). Then click the "Delete Image" button.

Finally, re-download the image and re-try the system creation.
