I know it's not really dummy-level, but it was the forum with the most viewers and the least specific Smilie It seems it's not limited to Solaris

Well, the command line was:

Code:
virt-install --name PDC --ram 1024 --location /root/windowsserver.iso --file /dev/zvol/dsk/container1/PDC --file-size 49 --vnc --os-type=windows

and

Code:
virt-install --name PDC --ram 1024 --location /dev/dsk/c8t0d0s2 --file /dev/zvol/dsk/container1/PDC --file-size 49 --vnc --os-type=windows

The virt-install.log says:

Code:

The problem seems obvious, but how could I force it to look for the windows files?

virt-copy-out(1)					      Virtualization Support						  virt-copy-out(1)

NAME
virt-copy-out - Copy files and directories out of a virtual machine disk image. SYNOPSIS
virt-copy-out -a disk.img /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir virt-copy-out -d domain /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir DESCRIPTION
"virt-copy-out" copies files and directories out of a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain. You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line. Directories are copied out recursively. EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a virtual machine: mkdir homes virt-copy-out -d MyGuest /home homes JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "copy-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly. OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options. SEE ALSO
