[libvirt] Java binding - JVM crashes .. sometimes
by Daniel Schwager 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Hi, since I updated to the new libvirt-version (CVS snapshot of today), my JVM running my multi-thread application "sometimes" will crashes if I open or close libvirt-connection (on KVM hypervisor). I didn't find out the exact szenario - simple junit tests are running well. But inside my main application (multi tread, multiple fast access to libvirt java interface) will crash the JVM. The crash-report looks like ALWAYS like the following 2 examples. Is there a way to - debug this - make the JNI code more robust ? - make the open/close of libvirt more robust ? I think the JVM crashes, because the libvirt crashes. Is there a way to look inside libvirt to see a "crash" of the native libvirt-prog ? My application runs very well with the old version libvirt-0.4.5. I think, problem starts with >= 0.5. One more: Something, it happens, that a virsh -command on the commandline prints out an error message similar to "Can't connect to hypervisor" (I can't reproduce it at the moment). Multiple repeating the command works well. This happens not often - but sometimes.. Now, the Stacktrace of the crashed JVM ** first ...

[libvirt] A problem about libvir
by 刘刚 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Hello, I have a problem for help. I use the libvir library 0.4.2 on Xen 3.2.0, the host OS is Suse 10.2 . I start a windows domain (windows xp). I use the function virDomainAttachDevice() to attach an iSCSI device to the windows domain,but it failed. I can use this function to attach an iSCSI device to a linux domain. How can I attach an iSCSI device to a windows domain ? or libvir doesn't support attach device to windows domain ? thanks a lot! MOBILE: 13622388220 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Initialize vm def monitor fd
by Cole Robinson 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

We weren't properly initializing the monitor fd value in the VM definition structure. If qemu failed to start up, this could lead to closing stdin, which made all sorts of poo hit the fan. The attached patch fixes this. Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] [PATCH] Detect bridge name collisions when defining a virtual network
by Cole Robinson 17 Feb '09

The attached patch is a partial fix for rhbz 479622. If a virtual network is defined with an explicit bridge name, make sure it doesn't collide with other virtual network bridge names. Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] Network Configuration question
by Remko Nolten 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi! For a shared virtual hosting project with some friends we need a pretty specialized network configuration. Because we have virtually no time for experimenting (no pun intended), and the hosting organization has no experience with libvirt/KVM configurations they suggested to try and ask here. So, this is the situation: We have a server with one physical connection. Each user gets one virtual machine with its own IP-address (we have our own ip-range). The hosting organization gives us one "main" address 'A' with netmask 255.255.255.0 (/24) and a default gateway for our host machine. Besides this we get a number of addresses B1, B2, etc. with netmask 255.255.255.255 (/32) and without a default gateway. The switch just routes the traffic to our server for each ip-address we own (A and Bn). According to our hosting organization, the normal solution is to configure a loopback interface for each of the ip-addresses on the server so you can configure your software just to use one of the addresses. But we are not sure how this will work out in our virtual environment. Our intuition tells us we need to use the routing network forwarding mode, but when we bring the server to the data center we don't want to have any surprises. :) Here at home I don't have to possibility to create similar circumstances as in the data center due to some restriction from my ISP, so I hope someone can tell me if our intuition is correct or that we need to use some other method.
