[libvirt] qemu aio option
by Ruben Kerkhof 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Hi all, Qemu has the command line parameter aio=(native|threads). I don't see a way to pass this option from libvirt. Would it be possible to add support for this option? Ruben

[libvirt] virsh stucked in virDomainCreate
by Anthony Lannuzel 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Hi, I'm having an issue when trying to start a (previously created) vbox item : virsh gets stucked in virDomainCreate and I see no error message (LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1). Is there any mean to get more information on what is happening ? Moreover, now that virsh has stalled, running "connect vbox:///session" on another virsh instance gets an error from "secret driver". Is this normal, as if I'm only supposed to have 1 connection at a time ? Thanks Regards Anthony

[libvirt] Heartbeat and reboot issue
by cheibi welid 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Hi, I currently testing a two-nodes HA-cluster with DRBD (Pacemaker, Heartbeat, DRBD). When the virtual machines (with KVM) are running on one node and I halt or reboot this node, heartbeat cannot migrate the resources to the other node. Then the virtual machines are unmanaged in both nodes. I think it's related to heartbeat and libvirt init order (libvirtd shouldn't stop before heartbeat) or some configuration is missing ? Thank you in advance. Best regards. Chaibi.

[libvirt] unable to connect to a ESX via ssh
by Dimitris Kalogeras 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hi *, Apologies for cross posting. I have installed the the libvirt and virt-toolss in an ubuntu karmic 9.10. I am trying to access-manage an ESX 3.5i via ssh protocol. Although I have configured and verified that ssh access operates correctly with keys, when I try to access the ESX via virt-manager, it doesn't work. Cheers, Dimitris -------------- Dimitrios K.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Make nodeGetInfo report the correct number of NUMA nodes.
by Chris Lalancette 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

The nodeGetInfo code was always assuming that machine had a single NUMA node, which is not correct. The good news is that libnuma gives us this information pretty easily, so let's properly report it. NOTE: With recent hardware starting to support CPU hot-add and hot-remove, both this code and the nodeCapsInitNUMA() code are quickly going to become obsolete. We'll have to think of a more dynamic solution for dealing with NUMA nodes and CPUs that can come and go at will.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Allow a user-settable number of VNC autoports.
by Chris Lalancette 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Currently we have a hard-coded maximum of 100 VNC autoports that the qemu driver can use. This may not be enough for running large numbers of guests on larger machines. However, we don't necessarily necessarily want to make it an open-ended number; that could lead to Denial of Service. Allow a user-settable option to control the number of autoports we will assign. The default is still 100, but now users can increase that if they wish.
