[libvirt] ruby-libvirt bindings
by Donald Plummer 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

I'm trying to get the ruby-libvirt bindings working. I've installed them from the gem (ruby-libvirt-0.0.7.gem), but I'm having trouble. My setup is: Client: Debian Lenny, libvirt 0.4.4 compilied with Xen API 3.0.1 support Server: CentOS 5.2, libvirt 0.3.3 compilied with Xen API 3.0.1 (running Xen 3.1.0) The virsh command will connect from the client to the server using xen+ssh, but not the default TLS. The error I get when trying to use TLS is: dplummer@vps-manager:~$ virsh -c xen://lvh2/ libvir: Remote error : No route to host error: failed to connect to the hypervisor I've setup certs on both the client and the server, there are no firewalls between them, and I can ping between them just fine. Anyway, what I'm really trying to do is get the ruby bindings working, and since the xen+ssh virsh connection works, I'm trying that. But getting the error "socket closed unexpectedly". -------------------- dplummer@vps-manager:~$ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'libvirt' => true irb(main):002:0> system('virsh -c xen+ssh://root@lvh2/ version') Compiled against library: libvir 0.4.4 Using library: libvir 0.4.4 Using API: Xen 3.0.1 Running hypervisor: Xen 3.1.0 => true irb(main):003:0> conn = Libvirt::open('xen+ssh://root@lvh2/') libvir: Remote error : socket closed unexpectedly Libvirt::ConnectionError: Failed to open xen+ssh://root@lvh2 from (irb):3:in `open' from (irb):3 from :0 irb(main):004:0> -------------------- Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone get this to work? Thanks!

The cdrom eject code was trying to dereference the NULL source of an empty cdrom. Attached patch fixes this.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Delete veth devices during lxcVMCleanup
by Dan Smith 23 Aug '08

This makes sure to delete veth devices after we've killed the container. In the case of a destroy or crash, this ensures the system is cleaned up properly.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Check disk target collision when parsing domain xml

The current domain xml parsing doesn't check if disks are specified with duplicate targets ("hda" etc.). The attached patch adds a check for this.

[libvirt] PATCH: Improve python exception messages
by Daniel P. Berrange 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Most of the libvirt python API bindings use code snippet like this when raising an exception: if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed') THis sets the message associated with the exception to "virConnectOpen() failed" This contains essentially zero useful information - you can see that it was virConnectOpen which failed from the stack trace. Now the libvirt error object has a real message, such as "authentication failed" Or "unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused" This patch makes sure we extract this real error message and use it to set the message associated with the exception object. This is one step in getting better error reporting for virt-install/virt-manager, which is particularly needed for remote connections Daniel diff -u -r1.9 libvir.py --- python/libvir.py 11 Jun 2008 07:49:01 -0000 1.9 +++ python/libvir.py 18 Aug 2008 12:07:03 -0000 @@ -13,10 +13,22 @@ import types +def _getErrorMessage(conn, defmsg): + err = None + if conn is None: + err = virGetLastError() + else: + err = conn.virConnGetLastError() + if err is None: + return defmsg + else: + return err[2] + + # The root of all libvirt errors. class libvirtError(Exception): def __init__(self, msg, conn=None, dom=None, net=None, pool=None, vol=None): - Exception.__init__(self, msg) + Exception.__init__(self, _getErrorMessage(conn, msg)) if dom is not None: conn = dom._conn @@ -77,12 +89,6 @@ return None return self.err[8] - def __str__(self): - if self.get_error_message() is None: - return Exception.__str__(self) - else: - return Exception.__str__(self) + " " + self.get_error_message() - # # register the libvirt global error handler # -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|

RE: [libvirt] Using Xen config files

I'm still having problems with this. I've dug around and found errors in the qemu-dm log. When I try to start the VM with libvirt, the error I'm getting is: "xs_read(/vm/414e73de-cf1e-487c-87e0-d4ebf7a23576/rtc/timeoffset): read error" I did a xenstore-ls on the /vm/414e73de-cf1e-487c-87e0-d4ebf7a23576 directory and sure enough, rtc/timeoffset is not there. When I start the VM with the Xen config file I used to generate the XML the rtc/timeoffset is there (timeoffset is set to "0"). Is there a way to set that in the XML? I didn't see it in the online XML description. I'm using a slightly different XML description than I had originally so I've included here (along with the Xen Config file) Thanks! -matthew const char* foo = "<domain type='xen'>" "<name>LinuxVM</name>" "<uuid>414e73de-cf1e-487c-87e0-d4ebf7a23576</uuid>" "<os>" "<type>hvm</type>" "<loader>/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader</loader>" "<boot dev='hd'/>" "</os>" "<memory>512000</memory>" "<vcpu>1</vcpu>" "<on_shutdown>shutdown</on_shutdown>" "<on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>" "<on_crash>restart</on_crash>" "<features>" "<pae/>" "<acpi/>" "<apic/>" "</features>" "<clock sync='localtime'/>" "<devices>" "<emulator>/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm</emulator>" "<disk type='block'>" "<source dev='/dev/vgvms/LinuxVM'/>" "<target dev='hda'/>" "</disk>" "<interface type='ioemu'>" "<mac address='7A:AB:D0:01:82:98'/>" "</interface>" "<input type='tablet' bus='usb'/>" "<graphics type='sdl' password=''/>" "<serial type='pty'/>" "</devices>" "</domain>"; //serial = "pty" int main (int argc, char** argv) { virConnectPtr con; /* connection to the Xen hypervisor */ virDomainPtr domain; virInitialize(); con = virConnectOpen ("xen:///"); if (!con) { virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError (); printf ("virConnectOpen failed: %s\n", err->message); return -1; } domain = virDomainDefineXML (con, foo); if (!domain) { virErrorPtr err = virConnGetLastError (con); printf ("virDomainDefineXML failed: %s\n", err->message); } else { if (virDomainCreate (domain) < 0) { virErrorPtr err = virConnGetLastError (con); printf ("virDomainCreate failed: %s\n", err->message); } else { virDomainInfo info = {0}; virDomainGetInfo (domain, &info); printf ("state = %d\n", info.state); getchar (); } } virConnectClose (con); return 0; } # Automatically generated xen config file name = "LinuxVM" builder = "hvm" memory = "500" disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vgvms/LinuxVM,hda,w', ] vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=7A:AB:D0:01:82:98', ] uuid = "414e73de-cf1e-487c-87e0-d4ebf7a23576" device_model = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" vnc=1 vnc=0 sdl=1 stdvga=0 boot="cda" usbdevice="tablet" vncunused=1 apic=1 acpi=1 pae=1 vcpus=1 serial = "pty" on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel P.

Re: [libvirt] Libvirt Xen daemon interaction in Red Hat Enterprise with virtualization

Thanks a lot for the reply. I checked the setting in my config file and they look correct as specified by the webpage. I am able to connect to the unix socket but my login to xend is failing. What I am looking for is the exact function call that is made by libvirt to connect to xen daemon. i.e. the function that makes libvirt send out xml RPC message for xend to read. session.login_with_password() is not supported by xenAPI version being used in Red Hat.
