[Libvir] suspended domains
by Vadim Zaliva 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

I am using libvir 0.4.1 with Xen 3.2.0. It might be an obvious question, but if there is a way to get list of inactive/suspended domains via C API? virsh # list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------- 0 Domain-0 running 6 centos51 blocked virsh # domstate centos52 paused As you can see 'centos52' is not shown, although it is known. In general, could somebody explain to me how libvirt is managing information about inactive domains? Thanks! Vadim

[Libvir] PATCH: Add SCSI HBA backend for storage driver
by Daniel P. Berrange 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

This patch adds a new backend to the storage driver supporting SCSI HBAs. With this you can now enumerate physical disks provided by FibreChannel, internal SCSI / PATA / SATA / USB adapters. The implemention uses HAL to enumerate the volumes asssociated with an HBA. It is common for most boxes to support multiple HBAs. eg on my Linux laptop $ ls /sys/class/scsi_host/ host0 host1 host2 host3 These HBA names are used to identify the host when defining the XML: <pool type="scsi"> <name>hba0</name> <source> <adapter name="host0"/> </source> <target> <path>/dev/disk/by-path</path> </target> </pool> This does not provide any means of discovering HBA names - that's a later piece of broader work on host device discovery. It also does not support multipath devices (eg with FibreChannel the same storage volume can appear on the host multiple times) Example using the first host adapter which is my internal SATA controller with a single disk attached: # ./src/virsh pool-create /root/hba0.xml Pool hba0 created from /root/hba0.xml # ./src/virsh vol-list hba0 Name Path ----------------------------------------- 0:0:0:0 /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 # ./src/virsh vol-info /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 Name: 0:0:0:0 Type: block Capacity: 153.39 GB Allocation: 153.39 GB # ./src/virsh vol-dumpxml /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 libvir: Storage error : no storage vol with matching key <volume> <name>0:0:0:0</name> <key>SATA_HDT722516DLA380_VDK91GTE0WPLER</key> <source> </source> <capacity>164696555520</capacity> <allocation>164696555520</allocation> <target> <path>/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0</path> <permissions> <mode>060640</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>6</group> <label>system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t</label> </permissions> </target> </volume> This also does not deal with the problem of HBAs being created on the fly, eg the NPIV case where you can add/remove adapters at will. I'm still working on how to deal with this. If you have your virtual NPIV adapters already defined though, it can enumerate them fine. Aside from the bit where I map from the short HBA name (eg 'host0') into the HAL device name, this should be portable to Solaris as-is.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Add Xen Scheduler APIs to xenDaemonDriver
by Saori Fukuta 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hi, I add the Xen Scheduler APIs to xenDaemonDriver. - xenDaemonGetSchedulerType - xenDaemonGetSchedulerParameters - xenDaemonSetSchedulerParameters We will have the following improvements by this patch: 1) xenDaemonDriver of Schedulr is usable when xenHypervisorDriver failed. 2) Show the Scheduler information with non-root user. 3) Set the Scheduler parameters for inactive domain. (Unfortunately not right now, because we need this fix. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2008-03/msg00301.html) And I have a few things to note: - Currently, implemented for the Xen-credit scheduler only. - xenDaemonGetSchedulerType is supported in xendConfigVersion >= 4, because we can get "xen_scheduler" from xend after Cset13394 of Xen (i.e. xendConfigVersion is four or later). - For the above reason, xenDaemonGetSchedulerParameters and xenDaemonSetSchedulerParameters are also supported in xendConfigVersion >= 4, because they are using xenDaemonGetSchedulerType to get the scheduler type. - At xenDaemonSetSchedulerParameters, there are restrictions which depends on Xend-version. a) We cannot set the "cap" value by xend before Cset15476 of Xen, because xend does not support the "cap" value at xend/server/SrvDomain.py b) We cannot set the scheduler parameters for inactive domain without the following patch. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2008-03/msg00301.html If the above patch is committed, this API will be available for inactive domain. Regards, Saori Fukuta

[Libvir] Adding suppport for daemon restarts with stateful drivers
by Daniel P. Berrange 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

The libvirt daemon has the ability to reload itself by sending it SIGHUP. For the QEMU & network drivers this makes it reload the config files for VMs and re-init the iptables rules. It would be desirable though to allow the daemon to perform a full restart. Principally this is for RPM upgrades where you want toensure the daemon is running the new code. The tricky thing is figuring out how to handle driver state. Looking at the QEMU, network, storage and LXC drivers, there is not actually all that much state to deal with. It basically comes down to: - PID of child processes (eg QEMU, dnsmasq, container) - FDs for STDIN/OUT/ERR of the child processes - A possible logfile FD - Flag to indicate whether some objects are active or not That is more or less it. Anything else is kept in the config files and can be reloaded at will. So I was thinking about whether we could provide a simple protocol to allow each stateful driver to save its state into some location, the daemon could just 'exec()' itself again, and upon startup the drivers reload their active state. Since the daemon just exec()'s itself it would still own the child processes & still have all the neccessary FD's open.

[Libvir] [RFC] 0 of 4 Linux Container support
by Dave Leskovec 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Greetings, Following are the patches adding linux container support. The first three patches are updated versions of the original three I posted. They've been updated for the feedback I've received so far and to include some other recent libvirt changes. The last patch adds support for starting a container. Still working on shutdown and destroy but wanted to get the start code out for comments. The XML format has been updated to this: <domain type='linuxcontainer'> <name>TestContainer1</name> <os> <init>/home/dlesko/src/dev/lxc/lxc_rcinit</init> </os> <memory>65536</memory> <devices> <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/home/dlesko/lxc_files/tmp/'/> <target dir='/tmp/'/> </filesystem> <console tty='/dev/ptmx'/> </devices> </domain> All comments and questions are welcome. -- Best Regards, Dave Leskovec IBM Linux Technology Center Open Virtualization
