[BUG] Microvisor DV image download is failing when configured from EMF

[murali-arivugen]

Bug Description

I am trying to use the EMF to deploy the EMT DV image as explained in the

https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/3.1/user_guide/advanced_functionality/oxm_pxe_provisioning.html#

I am always gettin the "Streaming OS image Failed" in the EMF console.

System Setup

EMF onprem installed v3.1.3

EMT on i5-12th Gen Node.

Reproducible Steps

1. Add a custom OS Profile for Edge Microvisor Toolkit IDV 3.0.20250824

arivu@arivu-server-002:~/EMT/standalone_install/emf_deploy$ orch-cli list osprofile --project desktop-virtualization

Name                                                    Architecture   Security Feature
Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS - BETA                               x86_64         SECURITY_FEATURE_SECURE_BOOT_AND_FULL_DISK_ENCRYPTION
Edge Microvisor Toolkit IDV 3.0.20250824                x86_64         SECURITY_FEATURE_NONE
Edge Microvisor Toolkit 3.0.20250813                    x86_64         SECURITY_FEATURE_SECURE_BOOT_AND_FULL_DISK_ENCRYPTION
Edge Microvisor Toolkit Real Time 3.0.20250813          x86_64         SECURITY_FEATURE_SECURE_BOOT_AND_FULL_DISK_ENCRYPTION
Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS with Intel out-of-tree GPU drivers   x86_64         SECURITY_FEATURE_NONE
Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS                                      x86_64         SECURITY_FEATURE_SECURE_BOOT_AND_FULL_DISK_ENCRYPTION

2)Add Custom Config

arivu@arivu-server-002:~/EMT/standalone_install/emf_deploy$ orch-cli list customconfig --project desktop-virtualization

Name      Resource ID             Description
idv-new   customconfig-85816183   Cloud-init config for Standalone Edge Nodes

3)Create hosts.csv file containing the Serial number of the node

arivu@arivu-server-002:~/EMT/standalone_install/emf_deploy$ cat hosts.csv
Serial,UUID,OSProfile,Site,Secure,RemoteUser,Metadata,AMTEnable,CloudInitMeta,K8sEnable,K8sClusterTemplate,K8sConfig,Error - do not fill
2AEN000012

4)Get the Site ID

arivu@arivu-server-002:~/EMT/standalone_install/emf_deploy$ orch-cli list site --project desktop-virtualization Mambalam
Site ID              Site Name            Region (Name)
site-5cb58c0c        Office               region-42e1fe01 (Mambalam)

5)Add the host for deployment

arivu@arivu-server-002:~/EMT/standalone_install/emf_deploy$ orch-cli create host -i hosts.csv --site site-5cb58c0c --cloud-init idv-new --os-profile "Edge Microvisor Toolkit IDV 3.0.20250824"  --project desktop-virtualization
Checking CSV file: hosts.csv
✔ Host Serial number : 2AEN000012  UUID :  registered. Name : host-5db61ec7

Power on the device and you'll see that the provisionoing fails

Root Cause Analysis

No response

I am able to onboard and provision the same node with EMT NONRT

@murali-arivugen How did you add the custom OS profiles? When you installed the orchestrator, did you use the default profile or the oxm profile as mentioned here?

I deployed the orchestrator with the oxm profile to test and I am able to provision the edge node with both EMT Standalone and EMT IDV. I'm using the included OS profiles which seem to be a different version than the ones you are using. If you added the profiles manually, can you try to modify the versions to match the ones listed below?

[murali-arivugen]

So the IDV will Work Only with oxm profile and not with default profile? I am not able to understand the usecase for OXM profile, if it not able to do any monitoring or application deployment. Is there any way I can deploy my Virtulization application using EMF?

[effndc]

The OXM profile is intended for a system integrator to automate installation of a static standalone deployment of the OS before shipping hardware to the purchaser. The edge node would not have any expectation to be able to reach the OXM provisioning system nor does this install profile support lifecycle managemet of the node or installed applicaitons.

You can find details on the OXM profile here: https://docs.openedgeplatform.intel.com/edge-manage-docs/dev/deployment_guide/on_prem_deployment/on_prem_deployment_profiles/on_prem_oxm_profile.html

@murali-arivugen Please share details on your usecase that requires the features of the IDV image for EMF managed edge nodes as we can consider adding these supports to an EMF compatible image in a future release.

I think there are already some applications running on edge which could be on Windows/Linux/Android, if we can run this with one or two cores inside a VM, rest of the cores could be used for the AI Workloads at the Edge. This is what I had in mind while trying this option.

[effndc]

It isn't clear why the custom IDV image of EMT is needed to meet that use case, we have support for virtual machines in the EMT and Ubuntu OS Profiles that are included within EMF.

Can you point me to documentation on how to run this?

[effndc]

Edge Manageability Framework offers advanced application management, this includes support for virtual machines.

This looks promising, I could add the Virtualization Package to my cluster, but still not got the application working. But anyway thanks for the inputs, this is exactly what I was looking for

[murali-arivugen]

Just a follow up question, does this enable X in the EMT, I want to be able to get my VM on the Display connected to the node running EMT, VNC wont work. Please let me know if I missing something. Thanks again for your support.
