[libvirt] Unable to get libvirt working with KVM using direct kernel boot.
by Tiit Kaeeli 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi, I am trying to get libvirt to manage a KVM virtual machine on Debian squeeze with multiple relevant parts included form unstable (because of need for gpt partition tables, Intel 82576 nic etc). Unfortunately the VM does not seem to boot. I will see a quemu prompt on /dev/pts/1. (Tried pressing c on it, but no difference). Nothing will appear on /dev/pts/2, /dev/pts/3 or when I type virsh console vm1_storage. If I grab the kvm command line generated by libvirt using ps and run it manually, it works fine. (Starts booting after I press c on /dev/pts/1 or remove the -S option from the command line) Libvirt configuration file: <domain type='kvm'> <name>vm1_storage</name> <uuid>29bfac01-b24d-e4ab-e741-f33f7e880d9d</uuid> <memory>4096000</memory> <currentMemory>4096000</currentMemory> <vcpu>6</vcpu> <os> <type>hvm</type> <kernel>/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-amd64</kernel> <initrd>/boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-amd64</initrd> <cmdline>"root=UUID=98d6d3d7-3782-4f6b-a94f-bc0272c0289d ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"</cmdline> </os> <features> <acpi/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <source dev='/dev/vm_lvm/vm01_storage_root'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> </disk> <interface type='ethernet'> <mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/> <target dev='tap0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </console> </devices> </domain> KVM command line that I see in ps after running virsh define /etc/libvirt/qemu/vm1_storage.xml virsh start vm1_storage (Works fine after I remove the -S option or press 'c' on quemu monitor on /dev/pts/1): /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 4000 -smp 6 -name vm1_storage -uuid 29bfac01-b24d-e4ab-e741-f33f7e880d9d -nographic -monitor pty -boot c -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-amd64 -initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-amd64 -append "root=UUID=98d6d3d7-3782-4f6b-a94f-bc0272c0289d ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" -drive file=/dev/vm_lvm/vm01_storage_root,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56,vlan=0 -net tap,ifname=tap0,vlan=0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vm1_storage.log shows: LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/ /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 4000 -smp 6 -name vm1_storage -uuid 29bfac01-b24d-e4ab-e741-f33f7e880d9d -nographic -monitor pty -boot c -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-amd64 -initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-amd64 -append "root=UUID=98d6d3d7-3782-4f6b-a94f-bc0272c0289d ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" -drive file=/dev/vm_lvm/vm01_storage_root,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56,vlan=0 -net tap,ifname=tap0,vlan=0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 char device redirected to /dev/pts/2 qemu: loading initrd (0x76055b bytes) at 0x000000007f89f000 Versions in use: kvm 85+dfsg-4 libvirt0 0.6.5-2 libvirt-bin 0.6.5-2 linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64 Thanks for any ideas.

[libvirt] VMware ESX: Allow leading dots in VMX config entry names
by Matthias Bolte 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi, '.encoding = "UTF-8"' is a valid VMX config entry, so the virConfParser must accept it in VMX mode. This patch lets the parser accept those names with leading dots. Regards, Matthias

No, but installing in the /usr/local prefix should also work with pkg-config. The .pc for libcurl should be located at /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc and pkg-config should find it. Maybe you have to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH in order to have pkg-config pick it up. Check the output of: pkg-config libcurl --modversion It should output 7.18 or what ever your version is, if installed correctly. > btw - Do I really need libcurl 7.18? trying to install it pushing me into > the depnendncy hell: [...] Hm... I just looked at the changelist of libcurl and something older like version 7.15 may also work, but I haven't tested it. You could give it a try and edit the configure.in file and change 7.18 to 7.15 and see if that works out. Regards, Matthias

[libvirt] VMware support and libcurl on rhel-u1
by Shahar Klein 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

I'm trying to play with the new ESX driver on a rhel5-u1 x86_64 but I get this: checking for libcurl libraries >= 7.18.0... configure: error: libcurl >= 7.18.0 is required for the ESX driver according to http://curl.haxx.se/download.html there is no rpm for rhel x86_64 so I built it and tried: export LIBCURL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lcurl -L/usr/kerberos/lib64" export LIBCURL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" but configure didn't care about it am I doing something wrong here? tnx Shahar Klein

[libvirt] How to get access to QEMU monitor?
by Jun Koi 26 Jul '09

Hi, I am running QEMU via libvirt (using virsh & virt-manager). Now I want to get access to the monitor interface of QEMU, so I can issue some commands to monitor. Is there anyway to do that? Thanks, J
