Having trouble using the CDI importer with rook-ceph

admin

I’m new to kubvirt and I need  to get an AlmaLinux9 image running so followed the labs page to try and import the disk image but hit an issue with rook-ceph. I just wanted to reach out as I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or there is a problem with rook-ceph.

blockdev: cannot open /dev/cdi-block-volume: Permission denied is the error I get – these are the steps I followed –

> kubevirt % kubectl get pod

And thats as far as I get – blockdev: cannot open /dev/cdi-block-volume: Permission denied

Theres a mention of something similar here –

I tried 3 other versions of rook-ceph and re-tested – Tried 1.12.4 (first) then 1.11.11 , 1.12.3 and 1.12.2 – same error with each version.

Appreciate any pointers any of you have – I just want to get a base image of AL9 so that I can spin up some VMS based on this distro…

Thanks in advance!
