[libvirt] PATCH: Always start dnsmasq to provide DNS
by Daniel P. Berrange 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Currently we only start dnsmasq if DHCP ranges are configured. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508965 points out that this prevents use of DNS in guests using static IP config. Thus this patch makes us always start dnsmasq, regardless of DHCP config if we have an IP addr configured. There is no need for the --no-dhcp-interface= that BZ mentions, since that's just to allow you to restrict which interfaces dnsmasq does DHCP on - we've already restricted it to just out interface, and leaving out the DHCP ranges disables its DHCP server for every interface Regards, Daniel commit deb71927a3551b3a1554351ef098644aec978a09 Author: Daniel P.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Remove MAX_TAP_ID, take 3
by Aron Griffis 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

This is a resend of take 2 to fix formatting problems in the patch. No other changes. As far as I can tell, there's no reason to format the device string in brAddTap(). Delegate the job to TUNSETIFF, thereby removing the loop and the MAX_TAP_ID artificial limit. This patch allows me to get 421 guests running before hitting other limits.

[libvirt] VMware ESX: Scheduler documentation and cleanup
by Matthias Bolte 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Add some documentation about the CPU scheduler parameters and remove some old, unnecessary compensation code, since virsh uses the proposed parameter types now. Documentation in HTML form will be added soon. Matthias

[libvirt] vcpupin broken towards Xen using xend
by Henrik Persson 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, During the update of the cpu affinity map format, the old format was broken ( '[' was switched with ']'). Also, the mapstr might contain garbage since the string is not initiate (however buf incorrectly is). This small patch fixes both the problems. Regards, Henrik

[libvirt] PATCH: Fix RPM upgrades to create qemu user
by Daniel P. Berrange 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

If upgrading from F11 to F12 it is possible the qemu user/group does not yet exist. Since the libvirt RPM needs to deploy files owned by this user/group, regardless of whether QEMU is yet installed, we need to make sure to create this user/group in %pre, otherwise fiels will end up with wrong ownership.

[libvirt] Feature request? Console tunnelling..
by r-c＠rocketmail.com 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hello libvirt-list.. Firstly I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question, I tried the IRC channel but didn't get any response... Anyway, currently libvirt has console functionality built into it that can be used on a Dom0 e.g. 'virsh console xenU' to connect and open guest xenU's console. I think it would be excellent if there could be a feature added to the libvirt daemon to operate this console externally! E.g. from an external machine I can do (in python) something like: domain.openConsole() .readConsole() .writeConsole() flushConsole()... hopefully that could be very nice to implement a remote Ajaxterm with more security and no reliance to run unnecessary services on the Dom0 since libvirtd is already running :-) I hope this makes sense, but if you perhaps thinks I going about this the wrong way please let me know! Cheers

Ah, I found the cause. ethernet0.connectionType = "custom" was a good hint. I missed to initialize one variable correctly that is only used in the ethernet0.connectionType = "custom" case. >> Could you do some basic testing beside listing and dumpxml, as I have >> currently no VMware GSX installation at hand?

Nice! Could you test the attached patch? It adds handling for the port in the URI, extends the version checking for GSX 2.0 and fixes the bug in VMX parsing. Matthias

[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: Java Libvirt bindings version 0.3.0
by Bryan Kearney 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I am happy to announce the availability of version 0.3.0 of the Libvirt Java bindings. The main change in this release is the use of JNA [1] to access the Libvirt C code instead of JNI. This results in all the glue code being pure Java which should make it easier to keep these bindings in sync with the C code. The RPMS are in fedora-testing for 10, 11 and rawhide. They will move to updates per the normal process. The code can be directly downloaded from [2]. The updated repository has been moved to git, which can be found at [3]. I am able to generate a maven repository for the bits, and was planning on putting a maven repo on libvirt.org unless folks would prefer the bits to be mirrored in a different location. Please let me know. Thanks! -- bk [1] https://jna.dev.java.net/ [2] http://www.libvirt.org/sources/java/libvirt-java-0.3.0.tar.gz [3] http://www.libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-java.git;a=summary
