[Libvir] /etc/sysconfig/keyboard syntax subtilities
by Guillaume Rousse 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

virtmanager split content of /etc/sysconfig/keyboard on '"' for determining keyboard. On mandriva system, there isn't any quote in this file: see http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=34190 Here is a patch making parsing of this file a bit more robust. -- Guillaume Rousse Moyens Informatiques - INRIA Futurs Tel: 01 69 35 69 62

[Libvir] trouble using ssh tunnel for remote hypervisor
by Guillaume Rousse 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hello. I'm trying to use ssh tunnel for remote hypervisor access. However, I'm can't make it working... [guillaume@oberkampf ~]$ LC_ALL=C virsh --connect xen+ssh://root@acacia.futurs.inria.fr list --all libvir: error : could not connect to xen:// error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no valid connection On the remote host: [root@acacia ~]# libvirtd --verbose libvir: error : could not connect to xen:// It seems the error lies between libvirtd and the local hypervisor. And indeed, local usage of virsh with xen:// URLs fail: [root@acacia ~]# LC_ALL=C virsh -c xen:// list libvir: error : could not connect to xen:// error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no valid connection Using xen:///, instead of xen://, as explained at http://libvirt.org/uri.html, is OK, despite a few error messages: [root@acacia ~]# LC_ALL=C virsh -c xen:/// list libvir: Remote error : No such file or directory libvir: warning : Failed to find the network: Is the daemon running ? Id Name State ---------------------------------- 0 Domain-0 running 1 barman blocked 2 cocktail blocked 3 mojito blocked >From the documentation, it seems xen:// transport implies TLS, and requires an host name, so it is quite normal it fails here (I didn't generated any certificate). But how can I force libvirtd to use xen:/// transport then ? I don't see anything related in libvirt configuration documentation at http://libvirt.org/remote.html ? Neither about how to configure it for listening on unix transport, as explained in svn+ssh transport requirements on the same page (but I presume it is the default) ? Also, from where does those error and warning come ? [root@acacia ~]# LC_ALL=C virsh -c xen:/// list libvir: Remote error : No such file or directory libvir: warning : Failed to find the network: Is the daemon running ? [..] I'm using libvirt 0.3.2 on mandriva 2007.1, with xen 3.1.0. -- Guillaume Rousse Moyens Informatiques - INRIA Futurs Tel: 01 69 35 69 62

[Libvir] python libvirt methods to virDomainBlockStats and virDomainInterfaceStats
by Marco Sinhoreli 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hello all, I'm using libvirt from cvs, and in libvirt.h there are virDomainBlockStats, and virDomainInterfaceStats calls. I think it is compiled into libvirtmod, then I'm trying to write two methods, blockStats, and interfacesStats in the class virDomain at the libvirt.py library file. I'm not a specialist in python programming and it's not working. Bellow folow the code I have been wrote: def blockStats(self): """Block device stats for virDomainBlockStats """ ret = libvirtmod.virDomainBlockStats(self._o) if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virDomainBlockStats() failed', dom=self) return ret def interfaceStats(self): """Network interface stats for virDomainInterfaceStats.""" ret = libvirtmod.virDomainInterfaceStats(self._o) if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virDomainInterfaceStats() failed', dom=self) return ret Any help will be welcome. Best regards -- Marco Sinhoreli

[Libvir] [RFC][PATCH 1/2] NUMA memory and topology patches
by beth kon 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

[PATCH 1/2] - add capability to access free memory information on each NUMA cell. Signed-off-by: Beth Kon (eak(a)us.ibm.com) -- Elizabeth Kon (Beth) IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: eak(a)us.ibm.com

[Libvir] [PATCH] virsh NUMA command freecell
by Daniel Veillard 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

Useful for testing the virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory() call, it requires the 3 precedent NUMA patches. The patch lack the documentation update. The function takes an optional argument which is the cell number. If no cell is provided it will print the total free memory available on the Node. A more useful function would be to find the cell with the most available memory, but that one should still be useful and not just for testing.

[Libvir] [RFC][PATCH 0/2] NUMA memory and topology patches
by beth kon 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I am reposting an updated patch for accessing NUMA cell available memory, and posting the initial patch for accessing NUMA topology information. Again, this code is primarily untested. I am looking for comments in parallel with the testing I will begin tomorrow. These patches prereq Daniel Veillard's initial framework patch: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-September/msg00069.html [PATCH 1/2] - add capability to access free memory information on each NUMA cell. [PATCH 2/2] - add capability to access topology information (cell to cpu mapping) for each numa cell. I have not yet added the full node available memory API call that was discussed on the list. As I understand the NUMA code is more urgent. If you would like to get this code in too, I can create another patch for that. My focus for the moment is testing.

[Libvir] RFC PATCH - Initial NodeGetCellsFreeMemory patch
by beth kon 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Here is my first pass at a patch for accessing the available memory associated with each NUMA cell through libvirt. The initial framework patch provided by Daniel Veillard is a prereq of this patch: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-September/msg00069.html I have not yet tested this. I'm just distributing for comments. A few comments/questions: 1) I think I got the versioning stuff right but that deserves a close look. 2) In Daniel's patch, libvirt.h and libvirt.h.in were identical. I assumed the patch would be before running autogen.sh, and only contain changes in libvirt.h.in, so that's how I did mine. Let me know if I misunderstand something here. 3) I had to put #ifdef PROXY around calls to virXenErrorFunc in xenHypervisorNodeGetCellsFreeMemory to get this to build. I haven't figured out how the proxy code works so am not sure if this is the right approach. -- Elizabeth Kon (Beth) IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: eak(a)us.ibm.com

[Libvir] Remotely starting a fully-virtualized guest
by Meng Kuan 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi, I am trying to start a fully virtualized guest called "full1" remotely. The connection URI I am using is "xen+ssh://root@dell1/". (Note that I am able to start/stop/resume/shutdown para-virtualized guests without any problems with this connection URI.) The XML definition for the fully virtualized guest is this: <domain type='xen'> <name>full1</name> <os> <type>hvm</type> <loader>/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader</loader> <boot dev='hd'/> </os>
