[Libvir] Port forwarding
by Richard W.M. Jones 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

What do people think about adding port forwarding to network configurations? At the moment it's unnecessarily difficult to connect to (eg.) sshd port or remote desktop port on a virtual machine running under the virtual network configuration. If those ports could be mapped to consecutive ports on the public (eth0) interface then connecting would be simply a matter of knowing the port number. AFAICS this could be implemented by adding rules such as these to the iptables: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $EXTIF -p tcp --dport 80 \ -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.122.5 iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $INTIF -p tcp -d $EXTIP --dport 80 \ -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.122.5 iptables -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -p tcp -d $EXTIP --dport 80 -j ACCEPT (rules taken from http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/stirling/computergeek/server.html) Rich. PS. I'm assuming that this is _not_ what the current /network/forward XML does? It seems to enable forwarding for a single privileged guest as far as I can work out. -- Emerging Technologies, Red Hat - http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/ Registered Address: Red Hat UK Ltd, Amberley Place, 107-111 Peascod Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1TE, United Kingdom.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Remove curses, don't require readline
by Richard W.M. Jones 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

This patch removes checking for curses/ncurses. It is never used. It also allows libvirt to be compiled without readline support. If readline support is not available then the only difference is that 'virsh' will be built without it -- in other words, command line editing will not work in virsh.

[Libvir] [PATCH] No rpcgen at all
by Richard W.M. Jones 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

If there is no 'rpcgen' program at all then ./configure fails. It should not, because rpcgen is not necessary to build libvirt. Patch fixes.

[Libvir] PATCH: strip auto-generated VIF names from XML
by Daniel P. Berrange 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

For the QEMU / KVM driver, if the user doesn't specify an explicit name for the TAP device associated with a virtual NIC, we auto-generate one with a name vnetXXX. You can see this if you dump XML for a running QEMU guest. Unfortunately if you dump XML, make a change and then feed it back in with the define XML API, you have now persisted this auto-generated VIF name. Do this for several domains at varying times and you'll eventually get 2 domains which have persisted the same auto-generated vnetXXX device name. You can now not start both of these VMs at once. The fix for this is simple - simply strip any TAP device name starting with the string 'vnet' when defining a new VM. It will thus get assigned a new automatically generate name which doesn't clash. The patch also strips out hardcoded vnetXXX names when starting a VM to proactively deal with any existing VMs whose config has been broken in this way.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Avoid compile failure when HAVE_AVAHI is not defined.
by Jim Meyering 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Without this patch, building without HAVE_AVAHI fails due to an unguarded use of mdns_name. Rather than adding yet another #ifdef..#endif (ugly and less maintainable), I've chosen to un-ifdef the declarations and a few uses. The more code that we compile and use unconditionally, the fewer surprises we'll encounter down the road.

[Libvir] PATCH: Pull generic I/O apis out of QEMU driver
by Daniel P. Berrange 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

The QEMU driver has a number of handy APIs which I want to use from the storage driver: - Read entire file in one go - Check filename suffix - Compare filename against name + suffix - Check link destination - Construct a filename from dir, name + suffix - Recursively make a directory This patch pulls all these methods out of the QEMU driver, gives them a sensible name and adds them to the util.h file.

[Libvir] testing libvirtd: don't hard-code $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt-sock
by Jim Meyering 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I've written a test to exercise libvirtd a little. Unfortunately, if I'm already running libvirtd, that test fails and I can't do anything about it: $ ./libvirtd & ./libvirtd Failed to bind socket to '@/j/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': Address already in use [Exit 2] Any objection to providing an option to libvirtd that specifies that directory (also used to form server->logDir)? It feels like it should come from the config file, but I haven't looked at details yet.

[Libvir] Semantic of xenUnifiedType()
by Daniel Veillard 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

It does the following: static const char * xenUnifiedType (virConnectPtr conn) { GET_PRIVATE(conn); int i; const char *ret; for (i = 0; i < XEN_UNIFIED_NR_DRIVERS; ++i) if (priv->opened[i] && drivers[i]->type) { ret = drivers[i]->type (conn); if (ret) return ret; } return NULL; } as a result if running as an user virConnectGetType() returns "XenXM" because the XM file parser backend ended up being registered first. I think that's bogus and we should change the function to return "Xen" in any case and drop the virDrvGetType type from struct xenUnifiedDriver and all associated functions in the various back-ends.

[Libvir] Create domU without any disks
by Tim Verhoeven 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, I'm working on RHEL5.1 (libvirt-0.2.3-9.el5). I would like to know if it is possible, using libvirt, to create a Xen PVM domU that has no disks? And if this is possible how to code this ( a simple example is ok). I can create a configfile for "xm create ..." that works (just use "disk = [ ]"). But I also need to do this koan (companion to cobbler) and it uses libvirt. Thanks, Tim -- Tim Verhoeven - tim.verhoeven.be(a)gmail.com - 0479 / 88 11 83 Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the "microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.
