[libvirt] [PATCH]: Secure migration support for KVM
by Chris Lalancette 21 May '09

21 May '09

All, Attached is the secure migration patch for libvirt. What this patch implements is a new remote RPC call for secure migration. On the source of the migration, we do a migration from the qemu process to the libvirtd on localhost. As each read() in libvirtd completes, it issues an RPC message to the remote libvirtd, using the standard libvirt RPC mechanisms. On the destination, we do essentially the mirror; the libvirtd accepts the data from RPC, and then writes it to a qemu container process listening on localhost. In order to actually use this, the command-line is pretty complex. If you want to use standard live migration, the command-line looks something like: # virsh -c qemu+tls://source.example.org/system migrate --live guest qemu+tls://dest.example.org/system This says to a live migration of "guest" from "source.example.org" to "dest.example.org", connecting to each of the remote libvirtd via TLS. Note that in this model, the virsh process connects to the remote libvirtd's via the -c argument (source) and the destination argument (dest). To do secure live migration, this becomes: # virsh -c qemu+tls://source.example.org/system migrate --live --secure guest qemu+tls://dest.example.org/system qemu+tls://dest.example.org/system This says to do a secure live migration of "guest" from "source.example.org" to "dest.example.org". The virsh process figures out how to connect to the remote libvirtd's via the -c argument (source) and the destination argument (dest). The second "qemu+tls://dest.example.org/system" is the secure channel from the source libvirtd to the destination libvirtd.

[libvirt] Hyper-V driver advise request
by Matthias Bolte 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hello, I mentioned Hyper-V in my last mail. We are currently investigating Hyper-V support for libvirt. Basically there seem to be two options: - use the DCE/RPC library from the Samba project for Hyper-V's WMI protocol - write a Windows based Hyper-V driver and use it from a Windows based libvirt client only or port libvirtd to Windows We're currently not sure which way to go and if any of this will actually work. So, we just want to ask for advise.

[libvirt] Incomplete cleanup in storage backend for physical disks?
by Henrik Persson E 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi all, I have some questions related to the storage backend for physical disks. If I try to create a new storage pool connected to a physical disk that doesn't have a partition table I get the following error messages: error: Failed to create pool from /root/physical_disk_pool.xml error: internal error non-zero exit status from command 2 However, the pool is still exists in inactive state. If I check the code some part of the pool is freed: cleanup: virStoragePoolDefFree(def); if (pool) { virStoragePoolObjUnlock(pool); } storageDriverUnlock(driver); return ret; but not the pool object itself. It feels like I end up with an non-complete pool. What is the story here, shouldn't the pool object also be freed in this case? And what is the suggested to create and start up a storage pool connected to a physical disk that doesn't have a partition table yet? Regards, Henrik

[libvirt] [PATCH] cleanup of direct stderr logging
by Daniel Veillard 20 May '09

20 May '09

In a number of places we still had direct output of logs, warnings or errors, instead of using the existing error and logging infrastructure. This patches tries to clean this up, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel(a)veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[libvirt] Works: libvirt client on OS X 10.5.6

Getting libvirt-0.6.3 (client) to compile on OS X - Use MacPorts to install gnutls (and its several dependencies) - Set environment variables: export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 - Configure --prefix=/opt/libvirt/ --without-sasl --without-avahi --without-polkit --without-python --without-xen --without-qemu --without-lxc --without- openvz --without-libvirtd --without-uml - Apply patches src/pci.c #ifndef MODPROBE #define MODPROBE 0 #endif src/virsh.c:5665 if (command_ret != 0 /* WEXITSTATUS (0) */) { - Compile The MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET variable is very important, otherwise you will get symbol errors when linking. -- -a "Ideally, a code library must be immediately usable by naive developers, easily customized by more sophisticated developers, and readily extensible by experts." -- L.

[libvirt] [PATCH]: Add a flag to let live migration be persistent
by Chris Lalancette 20 May '09

20 May '09

As pointed out by Łukasz Mierzwa <l.mierzwa(a)gmail.com>, it would be nice if there was an option to automatically make a domain persistent on the destination during a live migration. The attached patch adds this simple capability. Note that this has to be applied on top of my previous secure migration patch, otherwise you'll have conflicts.

[libvirt] PATCH: Test the QEMU argv -> XML convertor
by Daniel P. Berrange 20 May '09

20 May '09

This patch adds a test case which validates the argv -> XML convertor for QEMU. This re-uses the existing XML data files from the XML -> argv test. This has a few complications though because we can't roundtrip all the data. So I have a couple really seriously evil regexes which splice out the XML lines we know won't match - name, uuid, memory and disk sharing modes. This isn't ideal, but I figure it is better todo this and get coverage over 90% of the code, than to have no test coverage.

[libvirt] kvm migration
by Łukasz Mierzwa 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi, can someone explain me how migration works in libvirt? I got 2 machines with ubuntu 9.04 (libvirt 0.6.1 and kvm 84), disk images are stored on nfs share so both machines can access them. When I run live migration (virsh migrate --live domain uri) my domain is migrated to second host but: 1. domain is defined on both hosts after migration, it does not disappear from original host 2. when I shutdown this domain on second host it gets undefined so I guess that migration is only temporary but this is not what I want. When I migrate domain to other host I want it to stay there, how can I do that? I can't find anything about it in documentation on libvirt website, google does not seem to know anything either.

[libvirt] [RFC][PATCH] lxc: fix for ns cgroups subsystem
by Ryota Ozaki 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi, lxc does not work if ns cgroups subsystem is enabled because of two factors; one is that ns has a special rule to create a group[*] unlike other subsystems and the other is lxc controller creates a new namespace for /dev/pts prior to create a new group for a domain. Unfortunately the new namespace breaks the rule of ns and that prevents a lxc controller from creating a new group. This patch addresses the problem by creating a new group before creating a new namespace (i.e. call unshare syscall). Note that this patch is only for the case ns is enabled and current code works well if it disabled. However, I think this patch makes sense because not just a few users know much about cgroups and likely to enable all of subsystems without notions (i.e. mount cgroups without any options).
