[libvirt] listing domains on Fedora 8 XEN kernel
by Steve Oliphant 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

I am having a problem being able to get domain information in an Fedora 8 XEN environment.The code does not receive an error status on the XEN kernel and does not get any information. The same code running on the non XEN kernel works fine. I am running default configuration files. Is this a known issue? Do I need to tweak the configuration files? Is there anything else I need to do get the code to work on the XEN kernel? Please point me in the right direction. If any other information is required to assist in answering my question, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your help.

[libvirt] what ever happened to the SCSI HBA storage backend?
by David Lively 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi Folks - I see Daniel Berrange submitted a SCSI HBA storage backend in March. What ever happened to that? I'd be happy to pick this up if there's more work to do (is there a code base later than the posted patch?) In the longer run, I'm looking towards adding support necessary for FC environments (like multipath). Also, it seems (to my iSCSI-ignorant mind) that iSCSI should be just another flavor of the SCSI driver (kind of like netfs is a flavor of the fs driver ...). Is anyone working on such a refactoring? Thanks, Dave

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Detailed XML errors (with thread-local storage this time)
by Richard W.M. Jones 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

I've just seen Daniel Veillard's message about the '_private' field. In the meantime here is a solution using thread-local storage implemented on top of pthreads, which may be of interest.

[libvirt] PATCH: Validate all test suite XML files against schema

[libvirt] [PATCH] Detailed XML errors when XML is not well-formed
by Richard W.M. Jones 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

This patch changes the implementations lots of functions which parse XML documents, so that if the XML document is not well-formed then we get detailed error messages. The general form of the change is: static void catchXMLError (void *ctx, const char *msg ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, ...) { // a callback which calls virDomainReportError } virDomainDefPtr virDomainDefParseString(virConnectPtr conn, virCapsPtr caps, const char *xmlStr) { xmlParserCtxtPtr pctxt; pctxt = xmlNewParserCtxt (); pctxt->sax->error = catchXMLError; xml = xmlCtxtReadDoc (pctxt, //...) etc. There are some unavoidable shortcomings: (1) There is no place to stash user pointers during the callback (the suggestively named pctxt->userData field is already used for something else), so we cannot pass the virConnectPtr to the error function. As a result, virterror will store the error in a global variable, and callers will probably not be able to access it. (2) The XML parser routinely produces multiple error messages, and virterror throws away all but the last one. The errors do, however, get printed to stderr. You can test this by using 'virsh define', 'virsh net-define', 'virsh pool-define', etc. on not-well-formed XML files.

I have a quick question. I am trying to debug a remote access problem and have set the following parameters: # Override the default config file #LIBVIRTD_CONFIG=/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf # Listen for TCP/IP connections # NB. must setup TLS/SSL keys prior to using this LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen --verbose" # Override Kerberos service keytab for SASL/GSSAPI #KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab I have not been able to find the libvirtd log. Where is it located? Thanks for your help Steve

[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh edit command
by Richard W.M. Jones 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

One thing which is very apparent is that sys admins using libvirt / virsh have a great deal of difficulty understanding "where the configuration files have gone" and how to edit them. This patch adds a "virsh edit <domain>" command which is basically the equivalent of: virsh dumpxml dom > /tmp/dom.xml $EDITOR /tmp/dom.xml && virsh define /tmp/dom.xml but with much more sanity checking. The editor is $EDITOR or vi, and it does the right thing if the user doesn't modify the file, or if another user edits the configuration at the same time.
