On a vCMP guest, If a user attempts to install using the block-device-image argument (e.g., install sys software block-device-image <some.iso>), and the .iso file has incorrect file permissions (e.g., $chmod 600 <some.iso>), then the lind process on the guest will enter a restart loop, and the system posts the following error: lind[23565]: 013c0004:3: Fatal error: vcmp_media_insert failed
On the guest, lind restarts continuously, logging its restart to /var/log/ltm each time and posting the vcmp_media_insert failed error message.
-- vCMP guest. -- Run a command similar to the following: install sys software block-device-image <some.iso>. -- <some.iso> has bad permissions, e.g., -r--------.
Use either of the following workarounds: -- Avoid installing block-device-images known to have bad permissions. -- From the host, attempt to repair the file with bad permissions, copy the repaired file to /shared/images/, and try the install again. To do so, follow this procedure, running these commands from the host: 1. To repair the file, run the following command: chmod 644 <some.iso> 2. To copy the file, run the following command: scp <some.iso> mysystem:/shared/images/ 3. To install the guest, run the following commands: bigstart restart lind tmsh install sys software block-device-image <some.iso>
Instead of throwing a runtime error, lind will log an error to /var/log/ltm and return.
