[libvirt] Have any commands in libvirt to run a domain
by Ian jonhson 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hi all, Are there any commands in console to start/suspend/resume/stop a domain? Is it possible to start a domain as following command: # libvirt-command -cpu <cpu cycle> -mem <memory> -disk <disk quota> -network <network bandwith> -template <windows> If not, can I build this command with existing libvirt API? Thanks, Ian

[libvirt] [PATCH]: Allow arbitrary paths to virStorageVolLookupByPath
by Chris Lalancette 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

In ovirt, we have to scan iSCSI LUN's for LVM storage when they are first added to the database. To do this, we do roughly the following: iscsi_pool = libvirt.define_and_start_iscsi_pool("/dev/disk/by-id") iscsi_pool.add_luns_to_db logical = conn.discover_storage_pool_sources("logical") for each logical_volume_group in logical: for each device in logical_volume_group: iscsi_pool.lookup_vol_by_path(device.path) And then we use that information to associate an iSCSI LUN with this volume group. The problem is that there is an mis-match between how we define the iscsi pool (with /dev/disk/by-id devices), and what data the discover_storage_pool_sources() returns (/dev devices), so we can't easily associate the two. The following patch implements stable path naming when the virStorageVolLookupByPath method is called. Basically, it tries to convert whatever path it is given (say /dev/sdc) into the form currently used by the Pool (say /dev/disk/by-id). It then goes and looks up the form in the pool, and returns the storageVolume object as appropriate. Note that it only tries to do this for the Pool types where it makes sense, namely iSCSI and disk; all other pool types stay exactly the same. With this in place, we can solve the mis-match in the above code, and LVM scanning seems to work in ovirt. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance(a)redhat.com>

[libvirt] Error setting up graphics device:list index out of range
by Frederik Himpe 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

When I try to create a new KVM VM x86_64, os variant Ubuntu Hardy, it fails at the end with this message: Error setting up graphics device:list index out of range Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 640, in finish guest._graphics_dev = virtinst.VirtualGraphics (type=virtinst.VirtualGraphics.TYPE_VNC) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 207, in __init__ self.set_keymap(keymap) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 219, in set_keymap val = util.default_keymap() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/util.py", line 293, in default_keymap kt = s.split('"')[1] IndexError: list index out of range What could be wrong here? I'm using virt-manager 0.6.0, libvirt 0.4.6, python-virtinst 0.400.0 on Mandriva Linux 2009.0 x86_64. -- Frederik Himpe

[libvirt] [Q]Why does libvirt check size of memory in xenStoreDriver?
by S.Sakamoto 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi, I have a question. Why does libvirt check size of memory in xenStoreDomainSetMemory of xs_internal.c? In the xen not exclude lifecycle, when I do the following command for the domain that is shutoff, error message is output and return value is 0 and the definition file(=/etc/xen/XXX) is updated. -------------------- # virsh setmem(or setmaxmem) guestdom 65535(4096-65535) libvir: Xen Store error : invalid argument in xenStoreDomainSetMemory # echo $? 0 -------------------- As a result that I research this, this error message is output by the check of the memory size in xenStoreDriver. Because libvirt checks the memory size of under 4096 in libvirt.c, I think that libvirt should check memory size range of 4096-65535 in libvirt.c. Thanks, Shigeki Sakamoto.

[libvirt] [PATCH]: Implement ruby-libvirt storage pool discovery binding
by Chris Lalancette 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Attached is a pretty simple patch to implement the virConnectFindStoragePoolSources() binding for ruby-libvirt.This capability went into libvirt-0.4.5, so any version of libvirt that has storage API support should have support for this call. There's not much more to say; it works in my testing, and the implementation is pretty straightforward. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance(a)redhat.com>

[libvirt] [PATCH]: Update ruby-libvirt migrate binding to use rb_scan_args
by Chris Lalancette 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

It's really not a good idea to hand parse variable number of args to a ruby binding, like I implemented for the "migrate" method. Convert this to use rb_scan_args, which is the proper way to do it, and matches all of the other variable argument implementations in the binding.

Hi, I am using virt-viewer to view an Windows VM. However, I cannot get fullscreen with virt-viewer when using menu View -> Fullscreen. When I did that, nothing happenes. Is that a bug? The version of virt-viewer is 0.0.3 Thanks, J
