[libvirt] What should I do when I want to update the kvm for using libvirt in thel 5.4
by 姚远
My linux is rhel 5.4. In it, the version of kvm is 83 and the qemu is 0.9.1.
Virt-manager and libvirt use "/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm" to manage VMs.
Now, I want to use the higher version of kvm, so I
download qemu-kvm-0.12.4.tar.gz.
tar xvf qemu-kvm-0.12.4.tar.gz
cd qemu-kvm-0.12.4
./configure --prefix=/usr/
make
make install
Then, qemu-system-x86_86 is appeared, but the executalbe file "qemu-kvm" is
not generated. Virt-manager an libvirt do not use "qemu-system-x86_86", they
only use "qemu-kvm".
What should I do when I want to update kvm for using libvirt in thel 5.4.
Maybe I can compile a new "qemu-kvm" to substitute the old one.
Thank you for your reply!
Best wishes!

[libvirt] default storage pool will not start
by Albert Hopkins
Long ago I had a VM that used a qcow image that was in the default
directory-based storage pool. Since then the VM and the image have been
deleted. But now libvirt will not start without the image file:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/host.py", line 586, in
start_pool
pool.start()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/storagepool.py", line 67, in
start
self.pool.create(0)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1039, in
create
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virStoragePoolCreate() failed',
pool=self)
libvirtError: cannot open volume
'/var/lib/libvirt/images/gstable.qcow2': No such file or directory
If I simply "touch" the file, then the pool starts. But I don't want it
around. No other vm's reference this file. I've tried deleting and
re-creating the pool. I've tried removing all the files in the pool,
removing the directory, mkdir'ing the directory and then re-creating the
pool, but it still will not start without that file. I've
grepped /etc/libvirt for the existence of that filename but it doesn't
exist.
For the life of me I can't figure out where libvirt is getting this
information from and why it thinks it needs this file.
