[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: Oz 0.12.0 release
by Chris Lalancette 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

All, I'm pleased to announce release 0.12.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for doing automated installation of guest operating systems with limited input from the user. Release 0.12.0 is a bugfix and feature release for Oz. Some of the highlights between Oz 0.11.0 and 0.12.0 are: * Fixes to concurrent oz-install invocations * Python 3 compatibility in the test suites * Support for Ubuntu 12.04.3 * Support for Mageia * Allow a MAC address to be passed in (instead of auto-generated) * Support for RHEL5.10 * Support for Ubuntu 13.10 * Use lxml instead of libxml2 for XML document processing (it has much better error messages) * Remove the unused "tunnels" functionality * Support FreeBSD 10.0 * Remove deprecated functions from the Guest class * Speed up guest customization on guests that support NetworkManager * Follow subprocess commands as they are executed (makes debugging easier) * Ensure that any paths from the user are absolute, otherwise things don't work properly * Add support for OpenSUSE 13.1 * Add support for Fedora 20 * Add support for RHEL-7 A tarball and zipfile of this release is available on the Github releases page: https://github.com/clalancette/oz/releases . Packages for Fedora-19, Fedora-20, and EPEL-6 have been built in Koji and will eventually make their way to stable. Instructions on how to get and use Oz are available at http://github.com/clalancette/oz/wiki . If you have questions or comments about Oz, please feel free to contact me at clalancette at gmail.com, or open up an issue on the github page: http://github.com/clalancette/oz/issues . Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release through bug reports, patches, and suggestions for improvement. Chris Lalancette

[libvirt] [PATCHv5 0/5] Handling of undefine and redefine snapshots with VirtualBox 4.2
by Manuel VIVES 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi, This is a serie of patches in order to support undefining and redefining snapshots with VirtualBox 4.2. The serie of patches is rather big, and adds among other things some utility functions unrelated to VirtualBox in patches 1 & 2. The code review could be done in several parts: e.g. patches 1 & 2 separately to validate the utility functions. The VirtualBox API provides only high level operations to manipulate snapshots, so it not possible to support flags like VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_METADATA_ONLY with only API calls. Following an IRC talk with Eric Blake, the decision was taken to emulate these behaviours by manipulating directly the .vbox XML files. The first two patches are some util methods for handling regexp and strings that will be used after. The third patch brings more details in the snapshot XML returned by libvirt. We will need those modifications in order to redefine the snapshots. The fourth patch brings the support of the VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_CURRENT flags in virDomainSnapshotCreateXML. The fifth and last patch brings the support of the VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_METADATA_ONLY flag in virDomainSnapshotDelete. The patches are only tested with Virtualbox 4.2 but the code is compliant with Virtualbox 4.3 API. Regards, Manuel VIVES v5: * The patches are modified according to a first review by Laine Stump: * renamed virSearchUuid to virSearchRegex and moved it from viruuid.{c,h} to virstring.{c,h}. * Various fixes.

[libvirt] [PATCH] BSD: implement nodeGetMemoryStats

Implementation of nodeGetMemoryStats() for FreeBSD. I've added the code under __APPLE__ directives as well with the other similar code, however, I didn't test that on MacOS as I don't have one. It would be good if somebody could test that on MacOS, otherwise I'll probably just leave that code under #ifdef __FreeBSD__ only.

[libvirt] How to change the env PATH of a container?

Dear Laine, I will install a new version fedora as you said. Thank you. By the way, do you know how to change the PATH of the container? I tried to change the .bashrc, but it doesn’t work.

I have a similar question which had been replied by Daniel in the following post: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-March/msg00296.html I also want to assign a static IP to the container. As Daniel said, I can successfully assign a static IP to the container manually using “ # ifconfig eth0 192.168.122.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up”. Daniel also said that we can use “the regular distro initscripts” to automatically start the network interface, but this doesn’t work on my system. My host is fedora16. I haven't played with lxc enough to answer your question, but you *definitely* need to upgrade your Fedora installation - Fedora 16 has been "out of support" (i.e. no new updates, not even for security holes) for almost a year now. Even if you're building your own libvirt from source (the 1.0.3 libvirt you're using is newer than the last update of libvirt for F16, but still several months out of date), the other packages on the system will be extremely out of date and likely to cause problems that will never be fixed (because no F16 package will ever again be updated). My libvirtd and virsh version is 1.0.3.

[libvirt] [RFC] Implementing ftrace support for libvirt
by yuxh 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi all, Happy new year! The existing trace mechanism in libvirt is dtrace. Although the dtrace can work, it's not work well enough. Every time we want get information from the trace point we must write a systemtap script and run it together with libvirt. That's really unpractical on some occasion, especially on production server since the systemtap script can't be executed automatically. And some problems may be not easy to reproduce, then it will cost a lot of time to get the trace information again. So I think it is essential to add supporting for record the trace information automatically in libvirt to satisfy the user's requirement. That's why I'm currently implementing ftrace support in libvirt. How do you think about my idea? Any comment will be appreciated! Thanks, Yu

[libvirt] [RFC] lxc.cgroup.blkio.weight_device automatic conversion
by Cedric Bosdonnat 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hi all, I wish you all a happy new year 2014. I'm currently implementing connectDomainXMLFromNative for the LXC driver. The idea is to convert sourceforge LXC's config file into domain XML files. I just hit a problem with converting blkio device weights. LXC's config directly stores the cgroup value, defining the device with it's major and minor numbers. It seems to me that there is no way to get a path from these numbers, so what would you think about extending _virBlkioDevice to store either a path or a major/minor pair and extend the domain XML schema accordingly? Regards, -- Cedric

[PATCH 1/2] Add virGetUserDirectoryByUID to retrieve users homedir [PATCH 2/2] virt-login-shell joins users into lxc container. This patch implements most of the changes suggested by Dan Berrange and Eric Blake. Some replies to suggested changes. Removed mingw-libvirt.spec.in changes since virt lxc probably can not be supported in Windows. Not sure if I need to make changes so my code will not build on that platform. Did not make the changes to install virt-login-shell as 4755 automatically. I guess I want a more firm, make that change request... I did not make a helper function to parse a list of strings out of conf file. The getuid and getgid calls return the user that executed the program, when the app is setuid geteuid and getegid return "0". I believe getuid and getgid are correct. Added virt-login-shell --help, not sure what --program would do? The program is hard coded to LXC because there is no way that I know of for a ZZ process to join a running qemu instance. I have heard back from one security review from Miloslav Trmac, who had similar comments as Eric.
