HI

I have install openstack using devstack.I'm using multinode setup with one
controller node and one compute node.I'm able to launch VM from openstack
dashboard onto the controller node.
At the controller node when i do ps -ef | grep nova,the following appears..

 ps -ef | grep nova

I see the VM instance booted using KVM utility on to the controller node.
However when i try to launch VM manually using the similar command but
changing the instances id and name as above..

sudo /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-1.0 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp

I'm getting below error..

chardev: opening backend "file" failed: No such file or directory

Please help regarding this.

Thanks..
