Symptoms

Management of Virtual Machines on AlmaLinux 9.6 CR is not feasible due to the requirement of the solus-agent for libvirt while virtqemu is operational.

# failed to clean up: failed to delete virtual server: check virtual server "638f90a7-9c63-43d2-acfb-78566cb9edd3" existence: get virtual servers list: invalid argument

Cause

Bug with ID SVM2-6537. The fix is available since SolusVM2 2.0.0-37223 Stable.

Resolution

Update SolusVM 2 to the latest version.

Possible workaround before installing an update

1. Access the CR through SSH.

2. Edit the file /etc/systemd/system/solus-agent.service.
Change from this:

CONFIG_TEXT: [Unit]
Description=Solus Agent
After=network.target libvirtd.service
Requires=network.target
Wants=libvirtd.service

to this:

CONFIG_TEXT: [Unit]
Description=Solus Agent
After=network.target
Requires=network.target

3. Reload daemon

# systemctl daemon-reload

4.Stop the libvirt, then restart virtqemud and solus-agent

# systemctl stop libvirtd

# systemctl restart virtqemud

# systemctl restart solus-agent
