I have a very basic knowledge on Linux, and I'm working on a CentOS7 system. Now I'm tyring to configure a KVM CentOS VM, by using the virt-install tool. Here it is the command I wrote:



virt-install --name=tester1.example.com 
--ram=1024 --vcpus=2
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/tester1.example.com.img,size=16
--graphics=spice
--location=ftp://127.0.0.1/pub/inst
--os-type=linux
--os-variant=centos7


and here is the error message I got:



Error validating install location: Distro 'centos7' does not exist in our dictionary


Does anyone have any suggestions, on how to get around the problem?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:


  • "Questions describing a problem that can't be reproduced and seemingly went away on its own (or went away when a typo was fixed) are off-topic as they are unlikely to help future readers." – Jeff Schaller, Stephen Rauch, Archemar, Stephen Kitt
If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.












  • Yes, the error returned was merely due to a typo; then there's no way to reword the question to make it useful to others. Thank you for the explanation you wrote above. I'll try to be much more careful.

I guess I've found a workaround: I just substituted the parameter centos7 with centos7.0.
