[libvirt] Release of libvirt-1.2.4
by Daniel Veillard 04 May '14

04 May '14

As planned I tagged the release in git and pushed the tarball and signed rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also generated those for python too even if the only change is a spec file update, they are in the python subdir. This is a smaller than average release, with most of the changes on code refactoring, portability and bug fixes, so no big features here but general improvements: Documentation: - Device{Attach,Detach}: Document S4 limitations (Michal Privoznik) - Add a new example to illustrate domain migration (Sahid Orentino Ferdjaoui) - update docs for setting the QEMU BIOS path (Chen Hanxiao) - document nmdm type console (Roman Bogorodskiy) - Fix typos in src/* (Nehal J Wani) - document that vfio is default for hostdev networks too (Laine Stump) - cpu: Add documentation for CPU driver APIs (Jiri Denemark) - virsh: Fix comment of vshCmdInfo (Li Yang) Portability: - Explicitly link virfirewalltest and virsystemdtest against dbus (Guido Günther) - qemuxml2argvtest: Don't use privileged mode upfront (Guido Günther) - tests: skip virfirewalltest on non-Linux systems (Roman Bogorodskiy) - tests: don't fail with newer gnutls (Martin Kletzander) - fix build with older gcc (Ján Tomko) - storage: reject negative indices (Eric Blake) - networkxml2firewalltest: fix build failure on freebsd (Pavel Hrdina) - virfirewall: fix build on freebsd (Pavel Hrdina) - Disable libvirtd by default when building on Win32 (Daniel P.

[libvirt] CPU type/flags when converting a physical machine to run on libvirt
by Richard W.M. Jones 03 May '14

03 May '14

I'm in the process of rewriting virt-p2v which is our program for converting physical machines to become virtual machines, running on top of libvirt + KVM. The physical machine has certain characteristics -- eg: - number of physical cores - amount of RAM - CPU type (eg. AMD Opteron, Intel Core i7) - CPU flags (eg. ACPI, SSE4) which it might make sense to reflect in the libvirt XML of the virtual machine we create. The old version of virt-p2v is pretty simplistic about this. It generates *only* an i386 or x86-64 VM, and the only flags it considers are 'apic', 'acpi', 'pae' and 'lm' [the latter to distinguish between 32 and 64 bit x86]. What should the new version do? Particular questions: - Should we try to reflect the CPU type of the physical machine in the virtual machine? eg. If it's an Opteron, we generate an Opteron target machine. (I believe the answer is *no*, because this is not live migration, and most guests can boot on any compatible CPU). - How can I ask libvirt to give me the best possible CPU, and not some baseline? Normally I use host-model, but I think that prevents migration. - What CPU flags should be reflected in the target libvirt XML? - Is it worth modelling CPU thread layout? (I suspect this will be a lot of work with the potential to break things rather than provide any measurable benefits.) - Is there anything else I haven't thought about? However the overriding rule is: - We *must not* end up with a target virtual machine which doesn't work! Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests. http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v

[libvirt] Reg : failing to attach iscsi disk from virsh to running VM on xen

Hi , For attaching iSCSI disk I have tried like this *iscsi target side :* * 1 created an iqn number* #tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 1 -T iqn.2009-06.com.eucalyptus.cluster1:store1 * 2. added one lun to it* #tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 1 --lun 1 -b /fs.iscsi.disk * 3.To enable the target to accept any initiators, enter:* #tgtadm --lld iscsi --op bind --mode target --tid 1 -I ALL * 4.To view the current configuration, enter:* #tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode target *iscsi initaitor side (where libvirt and xen is running)* * 1. to** scan for the newly created target* * #*iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.53.14 * 2. created pool file * <pool type="iscsi"> <name>sample3</name> <source> <host name="192.168.53.14"/> <device path="iqn.2009-06.com.eucalyptus.cluster1:store1"/> </source> <target> <path>/dev/disk/by-path</path> </target> </pool> * 3.*#virsh pool-define sample_pool.xml #virsh pool-start sample3 then it created one link like this at */dev/disk/by-path/* *ip-192.168.53.14:3260-iscsi-iqn.2009-06.com.eucalyptus.cluster1:store1-lun-1 -> ../../sdb* 4.

Can u say the meaning of PATCH 11/12 what is 11/12 means. eg ; [libvirt] [PATCH 11/12] Properly support SCSI drive hotplug With Regards Prapulla Kumar R

[libvirt] qemu: managedsave vs. save
by Richard Weinberger 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi! My KVM hosts share the same filesystem and I'm facing an issue using managedsave. If I save vmX using managedsave on hostA and restore it later using "virsh restore" in hostB the qemu process consumes 100% CPU and makes no progress. On the other hand, if I save vmX using save the restore works fine on hostB. Why can't I restore vms saved by managedsave using restore? Or is this a known issue on libvirt-0.10.X (CentOS 6)? -- Thanks, //richard

[libvirt] [PATCHv2] storageVolCreateXMLFrom: Allow multiple accesses to origvol
by Michal Privoznik 02 May '14

02 May '14

When creating a new volume, it is possible to copy data into it from another already existing volume (referred to as @origvol). Obviously, the read-only access to @origvol is required, which is thread safe (probably not performance-wise though). However, with current code both @newvol and @origvol are marked as building for the time of copying data from the @origvol to @newvol. The rationale behind is to disallow some operations on both @origvol and @newvol, e.g. vol-wipe, vol-delete, vol-download. While it makes sense to not allow such operations on partly copied mirror, but it doesn't make sense to disallow the operations on the source (@origvol).

[libvirt] [PATCH] Restore skipping of setting capacity
by John Ferlan 02 May '14

02 May '14

Commit id 'ac9a0963' refactored out the 'withCapacity' for the virStorageBackendUpdateVolInfo() API. See: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-April/msg00043.html This resulted in a difference in how 'virsh vol-info --pool <poolName> <volume>' or 'virsh vol-list vol-list --pool <poolName> --details' outputs the capacity information for a directory pool with a qcow2 sparse file. For example, using the following XML mkdir /home/TestPool cat testpool.xml <pool type='dir'> <name>TestPool</name> <uuid>6bf80895-10b6-75a6-6059-89fdea2aefb7</uuid> <source> </source> <target> <path>/home/TestPool</path> <permissions> <mode>0755</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>0</group> </permissions> </target> </pool> virsh pool-create testpool.xml virsh vol-create-as --pool TestPool temp_vol_1 \ --capacity 1048576 --allocation 1048576 --format qcow2 virsh vol-info --pool TestPool temp_vol_1 Results in listing a Capacity value. Prior to the commit, the value would be '1.0 MiB' (1048576 bytes). However, after the commit the output would be (for example) '192.50 KiB', which for my system was the size of the volume in my file system (eg 'ls -l TestPool/temp_vol_1' results in '197120' bytes or 192.50 KiB). While perhaps technically correct, it's not necessarily what the user expected (certainly virt-test didn't expect it).
