[libvirt] Java bindings
by Alejandro Berna Juan 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

Hi all, I'm Alejandro Berna from i2CAT (a non-profit foundation in Barcelona, Spain, www.i2cat.net) I'm collaborating in a Europena project called Federica ( www.fp7-*federica*.eu ). One of the branch of this project is to permit virtualization of different hosts in the Federica test-bed. We are doing some studies about the different management interfaces of Xen. Our objective is to create a software remote client for Xen tool (in java if it's possible) that can do (general functionalities): - Create virtual machines assigning virtual interfaces. - Permit choose the OS assigned to this virtual machine - Install new applications to be tested in the virtual machines - Configure a vm to become a router and permit to configure this router as it was a physical router. All these actions have to be performed remotelly. I have not found too much information about libvrt but I think that can be usefull for our achieves. If you agree that with libvrt we can perform these actions, maybe I can build the java bindings for libvrt inside the Federica work. I'm waiting for your opinions, thank you, -- Alejandro Berna Juan alejandro.berna(a)i2cat.net

[libvirt] [PATCH/RFC]: hostdev passthrough support
by Guido Günther 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Hi, attached is some basic support for host device passthrough. It enables you to passthrough usb devices in qemu/kvm via: <devices> <hostdev type='usb' vendor='0204' product='6025'/> <hostdev type='usb' bus='001' device='007'/> </devices> I didn't implement unplug yet since this needs some modifications to qemu/kvm to be able to identify the correct device to unplug. Does this look reasonable? -- Guido

[libvirt] default networking issues
by Bryan Kearney 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Need some help about where to look next. I am running a Fedora 9 machine, up to date on the releaed rpms. SELinux is permissive, iptables is stopped. I have followed the instructions for NAT forwarding [1]. When I launch a guest in virt manager it uses the default network, and is assigned an IP address in the 192.168.122 space. It can do dns resolution, but can not wget a known website (www.cnn.com) From my host machine, I can ssh into the guest. Where is the next place I should look. Is the fact that I am running in a corporate network causing me issues? Thanks! -- bk [1] http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#NAT_forwarding_.28aka_.22virtual_ne…

[libvirt] [PATCH] storage pool discovery
by David Lively 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi - The attached patch implements virConnectDiscoverStoragePools mostly as specified by Daniel Berrange in: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2008-February/msg00107.html Daniel wasn't happy with the interface for this function because it wasn't sufficiently general, so it currently doesn't exist. I've attempted to generalize his proposed interface by changing the "hostname" argument to a "srcSpec" argument, which is intended to be a XML storage pool <source> element. Note that srcSpec is not necessary for some (local) pool types. For example, to discover existing LVM volume groups, there's no need to specify a source: virsh # pool-discover logical While discovering nfs shares requires a <source> document to specify the host to query: virsh # pool-discover netfs "<source><host name='share' /></source>" Currently (i.e., in this patch) I've implemented discovery support only for the "logical" and "netfs" pools. I plan on covering the other types once we've agreed upon the API. While this patch is rather large, the vast majority of it is "generic" (not specific to any particular type of storage pool) code, which I mostly took from Daniel's submission. I could easily break the storage-pool-type-specific pieces into separate patches, but those changes are already segregated into the appropriate storage_backend_ files. * Known Issues * I made the virsh interface take a XML string rather than a filename. I found it convenient, but AFAIK the rest of the commands that take XML take it from a file, so perhaps that should be changed (just let me know what you'd prefer). I realize the description of srcSpec is kind of fuzzy. For instance, for netfs discovery, the <source> must have a <host> element (to specify the host to query), but shouldn't have a <dir> element since the exported dirs are exactly what we're trying to discover in this case. So this really needs to be documented accurately for each storage pool type. (Where?) Finally, there's an underspecification issue. The XML pool descriptions returned are supposed to be usable as valid input to virStoragePoolDefineXML. But these descriptions include some data (pool name, target path) that isn't specified by the discover input or the discovered resources. For now, I'm making up a somewhat arbitrary pool name (logical: VolGroup name, netfs: last component of export path). And I don't even specify <target><path> in the "netfs" discovery output (which means it's not valid input to virStoragePoolDefineXML until a target path is added). Dave

[libvirt] fully virtualized xen guest question
by Christoph Höger 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi, I am running XEN on an debian etch. For clustering purposes I wanted to boot fedora as virtual machine. That works (except for nfs mounts) fine using the paravortualization features. But fully virtulalized guests do not even boot, I do not get any sensefull error message, my config file looks like: <domain type='xen'> <name>werewolf</name> <os> <type>hvm</type> <loader>/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/boot/hvmloader</loader> <kernel>/data/virtual/kernel/kvm1/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd64</kernel> <initrd>/data/virtual/kernel/kvm1/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64</initrd> <cmdline>root=/dev/hda1</cmdline> </os> <memory>524M</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file'> <source file='/tmp/werewolf.img.plb13810'/> <target dev='hda1' bus='xen'/> </disk> <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='virbr1'/> </interface> </devices> <features> <acpi/> </features> </domain> <domain type='xen'> <name>werewolf</name> <os> <type>hvm</type> <loader>/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/boot/hvmloader</loader> <kernel>/data/virtual/kernel/kvm1/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd64</kernel> <initrd>/data/virtual/kernel/kvm1/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64</initrd> <cmdline>root=/dev/hda1</cmdline> </os> <memory>524M</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file'> <source file='/tmp/werewolf.img.plb13810'/> <target dev='hda1' bus='xen'/> </disk> <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='virbr1'/> </interface> </devices> <features> <acpi/> </features> </domain> all I get when tryin virsh create is: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: (0, 'Error')") Whats wrong?

[libvirt] PATCH: Support container XML enhancements
by Daniel P. Berrange 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

This is something I previously submitted as part of one of the LXC patches, but I figure it makes sense on its own, since OpenVZ needs this now too. This adds two new XML elements to the domain XML format: - An <init> block within <os> allowing specification of the path for a binary to run when starting the container - aka 'init' by any other name. First we also specify that all containers will use an OS type of 'exe' - as in executable - the container equivalent of 'hvm' <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/sbin/init</init> </os> - An <filesystem> element for specifying how the container's filesystem is to be provided. This can actually be useful for full-machine virt too such as KVM which have host filesystem pass-through. There are various ways to configure it: eg to use '/some/directory' as the root filesystem for a container <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/some/directory'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> eg to use a template called 'fedora9web' as the root filesystem for a container <filesystem type='template'> <source name='fedora9web'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> eg to use a file containing a filesystem as the root filesystem <filesystem type='file'> <source file='/some/file.img'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> eg to use a disk partition or other block device (eg LVM) containing a filesystem as the root filesystem <filesystem type='block'> <source dev='/dev/VolGroup00/Fedora9Web'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> If setting the root filesystem, the target path will be '/', some container based virt allows the host OS root filesystem to be used in the guest, and merely specify additive mounts at specific locations, eg to override just /home within a container <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/some/directory'/> <target dir='/home'/> </filesystem> I believe this should satisfy all the OpenVZ, LXC and Linux-VServer drivers' requirements around filesystems Daniel diff -r 5614da5fe9ef src/domain_conf.c --- a/src/domain_conf.c Fri Jul 25 15:38:46 2008 +0100 +++ b/src/domain_conf.c Tue Jul 29 16:03:38 2008 +0100 @@ -86,6 +86,12 @@ "virtio", "xen") +VIR_ENUM_IMPL(virDomainFS, VIR_DOMAIN_FS_TYPE_LAST, + "mount", + "block", + "file", + "template") + VIR_ENUM_IMPL(virDomainNet, VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_LAST, "user", "ethernet", @@ -234,6 +240,18 @@ VIR_FREE(def->driverType); virDomainDiskDefFree(def->next); + VIR_FREE(def); +} + +void virDomainFSDefFree(virDomainFSDefPtr def) +{ + if (!def) + return; + + VIR_FREE(def->src); + VIR_FREE(def->dst); + + virDomainFSDefFree(def->next); VIR_FREE(def); } @@ -345,6 +363,7 @@ virDomainGraphicsDefFree(def->graphics); virDomainInputDefFree(def->inputs); virDomainDiskDefFree(def->disks); + virDomainFSDefFree(def->fss); virDomainNetDefFree(def->nets); virDomainChrDefFree(def->serials); virDomainChrDefFree(def->parallels); @@ -355,6 +374,7 @@ VIR_FREE(def->os.type); VIR_FREE(def->os.arch); VIR_FREE(def->os.machine); + VIR_FREE(def->os.init); VIR_FREE(def->os.kernel); VIR_FREE(def->os.initrd); VIR_FREE(def->os.cmdline); @@ -620,6 +640,89 @@ error: virDomainDiskDefFree(def); + def = NULL; + goto cleanup; +} + + +/* Parse the XML definition for a disk + * @param node XML nodeset to parse for disk definition + */ +static virDomainFSDefPtr +virDomainFSDefParseXML(virConnectPtr conn, + xmlNodePtr node) { + virDomainFSDefPtr def; + xmlNodePtr cur; + char *type = NULL; + char *source = NULL; + char *target = NULL; + + if (VIR_ALLOC(def) < 0) { + virDomainReportError(conn, VIR_ERR_NO_MEMORY, NULL); + return NULL; + } + + type = virXMLPropString(node, "type"); + if (type) { + if ((def->type = virDomainFSTypeFromString(type)) < 0) { + virDomainReportError(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, + _("unknown filesystem type '%s'"), type); + goto error; + } + } else { + def->type = VIR_DOMAIN_FS_TYPE_MOUNT; + } + + cur = node->children; + while (cur != NULL) { + if (cur->type == XML_ELEMENT_NODE) { + if ((source == NULL) && + (xmlStrEqual(cur->name, BAD_CAST "source"))) { + + if (def->type == VIR_DOMAIN_FS_TYPE_MOUNT) + source = virXMLPropString(cur, "dir"); + else if (def->type == VIR_DOMAIN_FS_TYPE_FILE) + source = virXMLPropString(cur, "file"); + else if (def->type == VIR_DOMAIN_FS_TYPE_BLOCK) + source = virXMLPropString(cur, "dev"); + else if (def->type == VIR_DOMAIN_FS_TYPE_TEMPLATE) + source = virXMLPropString(cur, "name"); + } else if ((target == NULL) && + (xmlStrEqual(cur->name, BAD_CAST "target"))) { + target = virXMLPropString(cur, "dir"); + } else if (xmlStrEqual(cur->name, BAD_CAST "readonly")) { + def->readonly = 1; + } + } + cur = cur->next; + } + + if (source == NULL) { + virDomainReportError(conn, VIR_ERR_NO_SOURCE, + target ?

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemudDomainCreate check if domain is already active
by Guido Günther 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi, currently virsh create foo.xml overwrites running domains. In case of qemu this leaves detached qemu processes around and the domain creation fails later on being unable to start other domains afterwards - not nice. Attached patch checks if we already have a running domain by that name and in this case refuses to create a new domain from xml by that name. Probably this check needs to be pushed further upward since this might affect other hypervisors too, haven't checked that though. Cheers, -- Guido

I am having a problem being able to get domain information in an Fedora 8 XEN environment.The code does not receive an error status on the XEN kernel and does not get any information. The same code running on the non XEN kernel works fine. I am running default configuration files. Is this a known issue? Do I need to tweak the configuration files? Is there anything else I need to do get the code to work on the XEN kernel? Please point me in the right direction.

[libvirt] what ever happened to the SCSI HBA storage backend?
by David Lively 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi Folks - I see Daniel Berrange submitted a SCSI HBA storage backend in March. What ever happened to that? I'd be happy to pick this up if there's more work to do (is there a code base later than the posted patch?) In the longer run, I'm looking towards adding support necessary for FC environments (like multipath). Also, it seems (to my iSCSI-ignorant mind) that iSCSI should be just another flavor of the SCSI driver (kind of like netfs is a flavor of the fs driver ...). Is anyone working on such a refactoring? Thanks, Dave

[libvirt] [PATCH] Detailed XML errors when XML is not well-formed
by Richard W.M. Jones 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

This patch changes the implementations lots of functions which parse XML documents, so that if the XML document is not well-formed then we get detailed error messages. The general form of the change is: static void catchXMLError (void *ctx, const char *msg ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, ...) { // a callback which calls virDomainReportError } virDomainDefPtr virDomainDefParseString(virConnectPtr conn, virCapsPtr caps, const char *xmlStr) { xmlParserCtxtPtr pctxt; pctxt = xmlNewParserCtxt (); pctxt->sax->error = catchXMLError; xml = xmlCtxtReadDoc (pctxt, //...) etc. There are some unavoidable shortcomings: (1) There is no place to stash user pointers during the callback (the suggestively named pctxt->userData field is already used for something else), so we cannot pass the virConnectPtr to the error function. As a result, virterror will store the error in a global variable, and callers will probably not be able to access it. (2) The XML parser routinely produces multiple error messages, and virterror throws away all but the last one. The errors do, however, get printed to stderr. You can test this by using 'virsh define', 'virsh net-define', 'virsh pool-define', etc. on not-well-formed XML files.

[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] 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
