[libvirt] [BUG] connection to vbox 3.1 fails
by Florian Vichot 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hello all, As confirmed on IRC by Matthias, when trying to open a connection of any sort (vbox:///session or vbox:///system) to the vbox driver with a VirtualBox 3.1 installed, the connection fails with: "internal error nsIEventQueue object is null" This is printed by line 726 in vbox_tmpl.c. This is with the 3.1 support patch commited earlier today. The driver with a VirtualBox version 3.0.8 or 3.0.12 works fine with that patch. Thanks, Florian

[libvirt] [PATCH 00/14] Introduce support for the JSON based QEMU monitor
by Daniel P. Berrange 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

This is an updated series fully implementing the new QEMU monitor protocol based on JSON instead of plain text. I previously posted a proof of concept here http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-November/msg00098.html Since that time, the QEMU side is actually working, so I've been able todo a real impl for libvirt now & also test it. I threw out the JSON library code I used last time, since it turned out to be quite unreliable code. Instead I'm using YAJL which is a much nicer library & integrates with libvirt very nicely.

[libvirt] Synchronous commands block virsh?
by Matthew Richardson 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

I'm currently playing with libvirt on Ubuntu 9.10: Compiled against library: libvir 0.7.0 Using library: libvir 0.7.0 Using API: QEMU 0.7.0 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.11.0 I've noticed that if I open virsh on a host and set a live migration going, then virsh doesn't return until the migration is complete. However, if I open a second virsh command, it too blocks on commands (e.g list), meaning that I can't perform any other operations against other domains until the initial migration is complete. Is this deliberate or accidental? Is there any way round this? Thanks, Matthew The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Xen: Add support for interface model='netfront'
by Jiri Denemark 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Xen HVM guests with PV drivers end up with two network interfaces for each configured interface. One of them being emulated by qemu and the other one paravirtual. As this might not be desirable, the attached patch provides a way for users to specify that only paravirtual network interface should be presented to the guest. The configuration was inspired by qemu/kvm driver, for which users can specify model='virtio' to use paravirtual network interface. The patch adds support for model='netfront' which results in type=netfront instead of type=ioemu (or nothing for newer xen versions) in guests native configuration. Xen's qemu ignores interfaces with type != ioemu and only paravirtual network device will be seen in the guest. Four possible configuration scenarios follow: - no model specified in domain's XML - libvirt will behave like before this change; it will set type=ioemu for HVM guests on xen host which is not newer than XEND_CONFIG_MAX_VERS_NET_TYPE_IOEMU - covered by existing tests - PV guest, any model - no functional change, model is passed as is (and ignored by the hypervisor) - covered by existing tests (e.g., *-net-e1000.*) - HVM guest, model=netfront - type is set to "netfront", model is not specified - covered by new *-net-netfront.* tests - HVM guest, model != netfront - type is set to "ioemu", model is passed as is - covered by new *-net-ioemu.* tests The fourth scenario feels like a regression for xen newer than XEND_CONFIG_MAX_VERS_NET_TYPE_IOEMU as users who had a model specified in their guest's configuration won't see a paravirtual interface in their guests any more. On the other hand, the reason for specifying a model is most likely the fact that they want to use such model which implies emulated interface. Users of older xen won't be affected at all as their xen provides paravirtual interface regardless of the type used. In previous version of this patch, I used "xenpv" instead of "netfront" as it looked more like kvm/qemu's virtio. However, you can find several tips how to force PV network interface for HVM guest by using type="netfront" so I changed it to conform with those tips. It also matches guest's driver name used for that device.

[libvirt] libvirtd crashes
by Shi Jin 04 Dec '09

Hi there, My libvirtd built from the latest git code keeps on crashing on all machines. I turned on debugging and this is the information I have in the log file before crashing: 14:31:50.828: debug : virEventUpdateHandleImpl:146 : Update handle w=110 e=12 14:31:50.828: debug : virEventInterruptLocked:662 : Interrupting 14:31:50.828: debug : qemuMonitorCommandWithHandler:271 : Receive command reply ret=-1 errno=104 0 bytes '(null)' 14:31:50.828: error : qemuMonitorCommandWithHandler:290 : cannot send monitor command 'info cpus': Connection reset by peer 14:31:50.828: error : qemuMonitorTextGetCPUInfo:436 : internal error cannot run monitor command to fetch CPU thread info I am not sure if there is any other information needed to help identify the problem. My building options are: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --without-xen --with-qemu --with-qemu-user=oneadmin --with-qemu-group=oneadmin --without-uml --without-vbox --without-openvz --without-lxc Please help me here. I can accept the service failing queries from time to time since I have error handling written so that they can be re-tried. But a crashing libvirtd takes the whole thing down. Thanks a lot.

[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: New releases virt-manager 0.8.1 and virtinst 0.500.1
by Cole Robinson 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I'm happy to announce two new releases: virt-manager 0.8.1: virt-manager is a desktop application for managing KVM and Xen virtual machines via libvirt. virtinst 0.500.1: virtinst is a collection of command line tools for provisioning libvirt virtual machines, including virt-install and virt-clone. The releases can be downloaded from: http://virt-manager.org/download.html The direct download links are: http://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virt-manager/virt-manager-0.8.1.ta… http://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virtinst/virtinst-0.500.1.tar.gz The virt-manager release includes: - VM Migration wizard, exposing various migration options - Enumerate CDROM and bridge devices on remote connections - Can once again list multiple graphs in the manager window (Jon Nordby) - Support disabling dhcp (Michal Novotny), and specifying 'routed' type for new virtual networks - Support storage pool source enumeration for LVM, NFS, and SCSI - Allow changing VM ACPI, APIC, clock offset, individual vcpu pinning, and video model (vga, cirrus, etc.) - Many improvements and bugfixes The virtinst release includes: - virt-install now attempts --os-variant detection by default. This can be disabled with '--os-variant none' (distro detection currently only works for URL installs) - New --disk option 'format', for creating image disks formats such as qcow2 or vmdk - Many improvements and bugfixes Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release through testing, bug reporting, submitting patches, and otherwise sending in feedback! Thanks, Cole
