Hello, first i'm using kvm-84 and libvirt 0.6.0 on opensuse 11.1. I try to use the attached script to save some domains on shutdown and restore them on host boot. The script also tries to cleanly shutdown all other domains. The save and shutdown part is working as expected but on system boot the restore of the saved domains fails. If I manually run 'rclibvirtdomains start' after a boot it needs 1 to 3 tries to restore the domain. After that I can run a stop/start cycle of libvirtdomains without problems. How can I debug this problem? After the system boot libvirt seems to have problems to connect to qemu/kvm. The log messages are for a failed start: --- start log --- LC_ALL=C PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin HOME=/ /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc -m 1024 -smp 1 -name kvm-virt03 -uuid 864c0b59-705e-5d78-dc3e-1a9de7dd305f -monitor pty -pidfile /var/run/libvirt/qemu//kvm-virt03.pid -boot c -drive file=/dev/virtual/kvm_virt03,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:01:05,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net tap,fd=15,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet0 -serial none -parallel none -usb -vnc 192.168.110.78:0 -k de -soundhw es1370 -incoming exec:cat char device redirected to /dev/pts/6 qemu_popen: returning result of qemu_fopen_ops cat: write error: Broken pipe --- end log --- and for a successful start: --- start log --- LC_ALL=C PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin HOME=/ /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc -m 1024 -smp 1 -name kvm-virt03 -uuid 864c0b59-705e-5d78-dc3e-1a9de7dd305f -monitor pty -pidfile /var/run/libvirt/qemu//kvm-virt03.pid -boot c -drive file=/dev/virtual/kvm_virt03,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:01:05,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net tap,fd=15,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet0 -serial none -parallel none -usb -vnc 192.168.110.78:0 -k de -soundhw es1370 -incoming exec:cat char device redirected to /dev/pts/6 qemu_popen: returning result of qemu_fopen_ops info cpus * CPU #0: pc=0xffffffff80221f1d thread_id=7398 cont --- end log --- Kind regards Matthias Pfafferodt -- Matthias Pfafferodt - http://www.mapfa.de Matthias.Pfafferodt <at> mapfa.de ## Path: System/Virtualization ## Description: libvirtd stop configuration ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # # On 'libvirtd stop' all running domains are killed.
