Can anyone give me suggestions about this dilemma I am having? I am trying to create a VM Hypervisor system (I have installed KVM on CentOS 7) with the VMs being stored on a Windows 2012 R2 SMB share, which I have successfully created with this tutorial ( How to Mount SMB Shares on CentOS 7 - Serverlab ) Now, I am trying to create the VMs but have this coming up.
I have checked all my permissions, but still cannot get it to create or import a VM. I get this message. "Unable to complete install: "internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2016-10-08T14:47:17:289758Z qemu-kvm: drive file=/vm-images/vm1/vm1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2: could not open disk image /vm-images/vm1/vm1.qcow2: Could not open ‘/vm-images/vm1/vm1.qcow2’: Permission denied.
I get the same kind of message when I just try to create the vm on the main vm-images folder. I have checked the permissions on both boxes (Windows and CentOS 7) and they all have the write/read/execute permissions. Can you help?

Can you setup the files to have Everyone have FullAccess - to check permissions?

Did you check the the share permissions also? Can you create a file on the share from another Windows box?

This could be a nested virtualization permissions issue, or an selinux issue, or a groups issue with samba, or a security/gpo issue on file share, or that the cent host isn’t receiving full virtualization permissions from ms host - which is a different type of nested virtualization issue.
Are the shares on the host machine or another guest?
Are they part of a domain? Is cent machine on the domain?
