[libvirt] libvirt log
by Steve Oliphant 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

I have a quick question. I am trying to debug a remote access problem and have set the following parameters: # Override the default config file #LIBVIRTD_CONFIG=/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf # Listen for TCP/IP connections # NB. must setup TLS/SSL keys prior to using this LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen --verbose" # Override Kerberos service keytab for SASL/GSSAPI #KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab I have not been able to find the libvirtd log. Where is it located? Thanks for your help Steve

[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh edit command
by Richard W.M. Jones 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

One thing which is very apparent is that sys admins using libvirt / virsh have a great deal of difficulty understanding "where the configuration files have gone" and how to edit them. This patch adds a "virsh edit <domain>" command which is basically the equivalent of: virsh dumpxml dom > /tmp/dom.xml $EDITOR /tmp/dom.xml && virsh define /tmp/dom.xml but with much more sanity checking. The editor is $EDITOR or vi, and it does the right thing if the user doesn't modify the file, or if another user edits the configuration at the same time.

[libvirt] [PATCH] don't dump core on NULL ifname
by Guido Günther 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi, actually I thought I sent this out already, but it seems I didn't: Don't dump core on NULL ifname when getting interface statistic. Not all networking types have a target ifname set (user,client,server,mcast). Cheers, -- Guido

[libvirt] Small regression with domain refactoring
by Chris Lalancette 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hey, I've run into another regression when using a KVM guest with libvirt tip. If I have a guest with some XML: <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' listen='127.0.0.1'/> Then when I "virsh define" that guest, it ends up looking like: <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'/> So far, so good. Now, when I actually "virsh start" the guest, it ends up like: <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'/> That is, there is no change to the XML when the domain is running. What is supposed to happen is that the "port" field should be filled in with the port that libvirt ended up choosing for this guest. This is important for tools like virt-viewer, which parse this part of the XML to find out where to connect to. Looking at the code, I believe the problem is in src/domain_conf.c:virDomainGraphicsDefFormat(). It looks like: case VIR_DOMAIN_GRAPHICS_TYPE_VNC: if (def->data.vnc.autoport) virBufferAddLit(buf, " port='-1'"); else if (def->data.vnc.port) virBufferVSprintf(buf, " port='%d'", def->data.vnc.port); The problem is that we are missing some sort of "isActive" check in there, so that it fills in the actual port it is using if the domain is running. Unfortunately, from a quick perusal, I couldn't easily figure out how to do this; does someone have a suggestion on how to fix this? Thanks, Chris Lalancette

[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix logical storage pool operation on SLES10-SP2
by David Lively 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

The attached patch adjusts for a difference in behavior in the LVM utilities 'lvs' and 'vgs'. The SLES10-SP2 versions of these (and presumably others) append a trailing separator. This patch simply adjusts the regexps to allow (but not require) this. I thought just adding the ":?" to the regexps would do this, but this was leaving the trailing separator in the last group match, so I ended up tweaking the preceding group pattern as well. Dave

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemud: move check for polkit before config file check
by Guido Günther 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi, Without this patch and without a /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf config file the default policy for running the daemon as non root user is still polkit which is bad. Please apply. Cheers, -- Guido

[Libvir] [PATCH] Add bus attribute to disk target definition
by Soren Hansen 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Hi! I'd like to propose that the following patch gets applied against libvirt. It adds the option of putting a bus attribute on a disk target. To acommodate this, it also changes the way drives are defined for kvm from the old "-hda /path/to/file -boot c" style to the new "-drive file=/path/to/file,if=ide,boot=on". This makes it possible to specify virtio, scsi, and ide disks. === modified file 'src/qemu_conf.c' --- src/qemu_conf.c 2008-04-28 15:14:59 +0000 +++ src/qemu_conf.c 2008-04-29 07:43:11 +0000 @@ -568,6 +568,7 @@ xmlChar *source = NULL; xmlChar *target = NULL; xmlChar *type = NULL; + xmlChar *bus = NULL; int typ = 0; type = xmlGetProp(node, BAD_CAST "type"); @@ -598,6 +599,7 @@ } else if ((target == NULL) && (xmlStrEqual(cur->name, BAD_CAST "target"))) { target = xmlGetProp(cur, BAD_CAST "dev"); + bus = xmlGetProp(cur, BAD_CAST "bus"); } else if (xmlStrEqual(cur->name, BAD_CAST "readonly")) { disk->readonly = 1; } @@ -646,7 +648,9 @@ strcmp((const char *)target, "hda") && strcmp((const char *)target, "hdb") && strcmp((const char *)target, "hdc") && - strcmp((const char *)target, "hdd")) { + strcmp((const char *)target, "hdd") && + strcmp((const char *)target, "hdd") && + strncmp((const char *)target, "vd", 2)) { qemudReportError(conn, NULL, NULL, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("Invalid harddisk device name: %s"), target); goto error; @@ -673,6 +677,20 @@ goto error; } + if (!bus) + disk->bus = QEMUD_DISK_BUS_IDE; + else if (!strcmp((const char *)bus, "ide")) + disk->bus = QEMUD_DISK_BUS_IDE; + else if (!strcmp((const char *)bus, "scsi")) + disk->bus = QEMUD_DISK_BUS_SCSI; + else if (!strcmp((const char *)bus, "virtio")) + disk->bus = QEMUD_DISK_BUS_VIRTIO; + else { + qemudReportError(conn, NULL, NULL, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "Invalid bus type: %s", bus); + goto error; + } + + xmlFree(bus); xmlFree(device); xmlFree(target); xmlFree(source); @@ -688,6 +706,8 @@ xmlFree(source); if (device) xmlFree(device); + if (bus) + xmlFree(bus); return -1; } @@ -1350,6 +1370,68 @@ return -1; } +static int qemudDiskCompare(const void *aptr, const void *bptr) { + struct qemud_vm_disk_def *a = (struct qemud_vm_disk_def *) aptr; + struct qemud_vm_disk_def *b = (struct qemud_vm_disk_def *) bptr; + if (a->device == b->device) + return virDiskNameToIndex(a->dst) - virDiskNameToIndex(b->dst); + else + return a->device - b->device; +} + +static const char *qemudBusIdToName(int busId) { + const char *busnames[] = { "ide", + "scsi", + "virtio" }; + + if (busId >= 0 && busId < 3) + return busnames[busId]; + else + return 0; +} + +static char *qemudDriveOpt(struct qemud_vm_disk_def *disk, int boot) +{ + char opt[PATH_MAX]; + + switch (disk->device) { + case QEMUD_DISK_CDROM: + snprintf(opt, PATH_MAX, "file=%s,if=ide,media=cdrom%s", + disk->src, boot ?

[libvirt] [PATCH]: Fix Qemu CD-ROM with no source
by Chris Lalancette 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

The new generic domain re-factor introduced a small regression into the drive handling code. In particular, if you had a section of XML like: <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> </disk> This used to work with older libvirt, but now fails. This is because we are actually passing the literal string (null) to the qemu command-line, which qemu barfs on. This patch fixes it up by making it blank, which allows qemu to continue on it's merry way. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance(a)redhat.com>
