[libvirt] new openvz driver (bossonvz)
by Bosson VZ 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hello, in the company I work for, we use openvz and qemu/kvm on our clusters side-by-side. To manage our domains, we used libvirt/qemu for qemu/kvm domains and vz tools for openvz domains in the past. This was very inconvinient since the management differed in many ways. So we have decided to unify our management and use libvirt exclusively. Since the openvz driver already included in libvirt lacks features that need, we have implemented a new libvirt backend driver for openvz called the bossonvz driver. Unlike the openvz driver, bossonvz is a complete, feature-rich stateful libvirt driver. It uses the libvirt driver API exclusively and communicates with the kernel directly, much like the LXC driver. The code is hugely inspired by the LXC driver and the Qemu driver, but adds a bit of functionality to the libvirt core too. More details and the source code can be found at http://bossonvz.bosson.eu/ The driver is completely independent of vz tools, it needs only a running vz kernel. One of the things, we are most proud of, is the possibility to access the domain's tty via VNC (hurray to uniform management web interfaces). Since the code was developed in-house (primarily for internal purposes), it is based on an older libvirt release (1.1.2). There are also some modifications to the libvirt core (virCommand) and the domain file (mount options syntax) which might need some redesign. At the moment I would like to get some feedback on the driver. In the future, I would like to see the driver merged upstream, and am prepared to do the work but I need to know if there is any interest in doing so. -- Cluster Design, s.r.o.

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: dump: Report better error when dumping VM with passthrough devices

For the regular dump operation we migrate the VM to a file. This won't work when the VM has passthrough devices assigned.

[libvirt] Possible to set iSCSI initiator-name?
by Richard W.M. Jones 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Glancing at the libvirt code in git, it doesn't appear to be possible to set the iSCSI initiator name for domains which are backed with iSCSI disks. Some background: When qemu contacts the iSCSI target, it sends its own initiator name, which, if not set, defaults to 'iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm'. Some iSCSI targets have variable configuration keyed on the initiator name -- that is definitely the case for a userspace iscsi target that I tested (called pyTarget[1]), and for a libguestfs user's unspecified target[2]. qemu lets you override the default initiator name[3] using: qemu -iscsi initiator-name=iqn.YYYY-MM... This appears to be a global setting. I'm not clear if it makes sense or is possible to have multiple initiator names for a single qemu. I'm not missing something am I? (Note I'm not talking about storage pools which do have a way to specify initiator name). Rich.
