[libvirt] [PATCH] Clean up some uses qemudDebug
by Cole Robinson 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

The patch cleans up some uses of qemudDebug, moving them over to use the DEBUG macros. There are still lots of uses of qemudDebug in qemud/*, but I don't know if they can/should be moved over to use DEBUG. Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix > 1 char device for qemu VM
by Cole Robinson 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Trying to start a qemu guest with more than 1 character device (serial or parallel, doesn't count for console) always times out. There was an error in the code that would strip the pty path qemu spits out, which confused the parsing after being called more than twice. The attached patch fixes this. I verified that guests with 0, 1, and 2 serial devices all boot fine. Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] Overriding vnetN with the <target> element in xml configuration not working
by Ahmed Medhat 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hello, I've been trying to dedicated a vnet interface to each virtual machine in order to be able to monitor their traffic, looking at http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSBridge it says that a virtual machine could have a specific vnetN specified in the xml element <target>, like <target dev='vnet7'/> . Unfortunately its not working and still it comes with vnet(current+1), here's my configuration for a qemu-kvm guest. <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='virbr0'/> <target dev='vnet7'/> <mac address='00:16:3e:6c:1f:9d'/> </interface> I'm running on F9 x86_64, libvirt-0.4.4-2.fc9.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.4.4-2.fc9.x86_64 kvm-65-7.fc9.x86_64 qemu-0.9.1-6.fc9.x86_64 I haven't yet tested this with a RHEL box to know if it is version specific issue to open a bugzilla report, any input is appreciated. /* || Thanks, Ahmed Medhat || ultimatetux [at] gmail [dot] com || +2-012-4184768 || In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates? */

[libvirt] [PATCH] fix network interface parsing
by Jim Fehlig 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi All, While testing libvirt 0.4.5 and 0.4.6 I noticed only one network interface in domain xml for a xen guest regardless of number actually assigned. Turns out the last interface parsed is always placed on head of nets list instead of appending to tail. Patch attached. Cheers, Jim
