Hello everybody, I try to save and restore a virtual machine, but I always get this error message: ~$ virsh save test1 test1.vm Domain test1 nach test1.vm gespeichert [german for test1 successfully saved to test1.vm] ~$ virsh restore test1.vm 17:53:10.341: error : this function is not supported by the hypervisor: STDIO migration is not supported with this QEMU binary libvir: QEMU error : this function is not supported by the hypervisor: STDIO migration is not supported with this QEMU binary 17:53:10.341: error : operation failed: failed to start VM libvir: QEMU error : operation failed: failed to start VM Fehler: Wiederherstellen der Domain aus test1.vm gescheitert [german: Restoring test1.vm failed!] Fehler: operation failed: failed to start VM I am using libvirt 0.6.3, KVM-84 with qemu 0.9.1. Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance and kind regards, Christian

[libvirt] error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
by Erkan Unal 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi, I installed the libvirt with the following configure options as an unprivileged user, I am planning to use it just for qemu/kvm: ./configure --without-xen --without-lxc --without-uml --without-openvz --without-vbox --without-numactl --prefix=/some/nonstandard/dir make make install --without-numactl is added because of a compilation error. I am not sure whether it is completely necessary or not. If you think it has effect on the error, please state the reason. After installation I got the following error when I tried to run the virsh without any options: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor With the following command line error was "Segmentation Fault": virsh -c qemu:///session. Qemu executable path: /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 and it is defined on the path. Libvirt daemon is failing with the same error too. System ---> Scientific Linux SL release 4.7 (Beryllium), Kernel version: 2.6.28.2, libvirt version: 0.6.3 Any ideas? P.S.: Is there a way to compile static virsh executable? I tried altering make files, configure options, linker flags and compiler flags but no luck. "ldd virsh" command should say "not a dynamic executable" after compilation. Thanks, Erkan Unal

[libvirt] SetMaxMemory vs. SetMemory
by Matthias Bolte 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hello, I just took a look at the driver functions for SetMaxMemory and SetMemory, as they are not implemented yet for the ESX driver and Daniel Veillard was a bit surprised that they are missing, as he expects them to be simple to implement. The problem is that I'm not sure how the memory model of ESX maps to SetMaxMemory vs. SetMemory. An ESX virtual machine has a defined memory size. That's the size reported to the guest OS as the available "physical" memory size. Beside this ESX allows the user to control how the hypervisor satisfies this "physical" memory size. You can define a reservation and an upper limit. The hypervisor will at least use the reserved amount of real physical memory to satisfy the "physical" memory size, but will not use more than the upper limit. How does this map to SetMaxMemory and SetMemory? My first assumption was, SetMaxMemory defines the "physical" memory size and SetMemory defines the upper limit of real physical memory to satisfy the "physical" memory size. This assumption seems to be in sync with the QEMU driver from just looking at the code. But with Xen it seems to be different. If I call SetMaxMemory and SetMemory with 2GB than free inside the domain reports 2GB total memory. After I call SetMemory with 1GB, free reports 1GB of total memory. I'm confused. So, what is the intended semantic for SetMaxMemory and SetMemory? Regards, Matthias

[libvirt] PATCH: Ensure filename/funcname/linenr gets passed to error func
by Daniel P. Berrange 22 May '09

22 May '09

The current virRaiseError() function does not accept any information about these source location of the error. The various virReportSystemError and virReportOOMError wrappers all collect this info, but then discard it. This patch turns virRaiseError into virRaiseErrorFull() and adds params for linenr, filename & funcname, and then adds a macro providing the original virRaiseError() API contract, and collecting source location info. The other wrappers are changed to call virRaiseErrorFull() directly preserving their source location data. Finally the source location is passed into the virLogMessage call. This should address the issue that Mattias mentioned in the VMWare driver thread.

[libvirt] storage: inconsistent in 'format' scheme between document and implementation
by Ryota Ozaki 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi, I've found a problem that a 'format' element in storage-{pool,vol} XML doesn't behave as described in the document. The document says that a format of {pool,vol} is specified as the value of a format element, like: <target> <path>/var/lib/virt/images/sparse.img</path> <format>qcow2</format> <permissions> However, the implementation doesn't follow this: if (options->formatFromString) { char *format = virXPathString(conn, "string(/volume/target/format/@type)", ctxt); if (format == NULL) ret->target.format = options->defaultFormat; else ret->target.format = (options->formatFromString)(format); if (ret->target.format < 0) { virStorageReportError(conn, VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR, _("unknown volume format type %s"), format); VIR_FREE(format); goto cleanup; } VIR_FREE(format); } The implementation assumes that a format of {pool,vol} is specified as the attribute of a format element, like: <target> <path>/var/lib/virt/images/sparse.img</path> <format type='qcow2' /> <permissions> Thus, we need to fix either the document or the implementation. (I guess the implementation is correct, right?) Thanks, ozaki-r

[libvirt] [PATH 0/5] CORRECTED - Interface Config Public APIs and remote stubs, with MAC addresses in string format
by Laine Stump 21 May '09

21 May '09

MY APOLOGIES! Yesterday I accidentally sent the old patchset rather than the corrected set. This time it's right. These patches are based on those I sent last week (the public virInterface*() API definition, the local plumbing, and the RPC glue), but with suggestions incorporated: 1) MAC address is always used in null-terminated ASCII string format. This eliminates any potential problems with extra long addresses. 2) no comments in libvirt.h 3) flags arguments are all unsigned.

[libvirt] PATCH: Impl python bindings for virInterface
by Daniel P. Berrange 21 May '09

21 May '09

We forgot that adding the virInterface APIs would break the build of the python bindings. Here is the patch to wire up the code generator for the new APIs. This is actually surprisingly easy, since we ditched the raw unsigned char MAC address APIs, no special cases were needed.
