And this requirement really breaks installation of builds on RHEL/CentOS/ScientificLinux. The newest available built for glusterfs is those systems is glusterfs-client-1.3.8 from freshrpms. Even --without-storage-fs does not help a bit, must be pulled in implicitly? rpm -pq --requires libvirt-0.7.0-1.x86_64.rpm (...) glusterfs-client >= 2.0.1 (...) Is this patched in upcoming 0.7.1 or how could i go around this issue?

[libvirt] UML driver struct refers to public API functions
by Matthias Bolte 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi, The commit "Generic shared impls of all NUMA apis" (b0b968efd56f6c66bfa23eebbecd491ea993f99b) changed the UML driver struct to use the shared NUMA API. But now the UML driver struct refers to the public API functions: virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory virNodeGetFreeMemory instead of the shared NUMA API functions nodeGetCellsFreeMemory nodeGetFreeMemory This results in an infinite recursion, if someone's going to call virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory with an UML connection.

[libvirt] PATCH: Don't blindly reorder disk drives
by Daniel P. Berrange 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Calling qsort() on the disks array causes disk to be unneccessarily re-ordered, potentially breaking the ability to boot if the boot disk gets moved later in the list. The new algorithm will insert a new disk as far to the end of the list as possible, while being ordered correctly wrt other disks on the same bus. * src/domain_conf.c, src/domain_conf.h: Remove disk sorting routines. Add API to insert a disk into existing list at the optimal position, without resorting disks * src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virDomainDiskInsert * src/xend_internal.c, src/xm_internal.c: Remove calls to qsort, use virDomainDiskInsert instead. * src/qemu_driver.c: Remove calls to qsort, use virDoaminDiskInsert instead.

[libvirt] Add support for (qcow*) volume encryption (v4)
by Miloslav Trmač 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hello, the following patches add full support for qcow/qcow2 volume encryption, assuming a client that supports it. (Main changes since the previous version: * Add "flags" argument to virSecretDefineXML(), virSecretGetXMLDesc(), virSecretSetValue(), virSecretGetValue() * Various clean-ups and bug fixes in the local secret storage driver * Make the Python API more consistent with other objects See the specific patch change logs for more details; patches without change logs are unchanged.) New XML tags are defined to represent encryption parameters (currently format and passphrase, more can be added in the future), e.g. <encryption format='qcow'> <secret type='passphrase' uuid='724d95f2-0ed2-6ff9-84d0-0f3d1618428d'/> </encryption> The <encryption> tag can be added to a <volume> node passed to virStorageVolCreateXML() to create an encrypted volume, or to a <disk> node inside a <domain> to specify what encryption parameters to use for a domain. uuid above refers to a separately-managed secret, which was created using virSecretDefineXML() and set using virSecretSetValue(). Other properties of the secret can be managed using an XML representation. Detailed documentation of the formats and features is inside the patches.

[libvirt] Create a Domain from windows client
by anuj rampal 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi all, I'm trying to call the libvirt API from my Windows machine. When i try to create to a Domain using "virDomainDefineXML" function I have to pass an XML file containing the Description of the Domain. Here is the part of the XML file that im using: <domain type='qemu' id='1'> .. .. <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXp.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <source file='/home/anuj/ISOs/WinXpSp3/Windows_XP_SP3.iso'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> </disk> .. .. </domain> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXp.img'/> This is the path which contains the img file for the Domain. I have created this file using this command: qemu-img create -f raw /var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXp.img 10G *Now: my question is:* Is there a way by which i can create this img file using some libvirt call directly and then use this for my domain creation. Or modify the XML file itself so that virDomainDefineXML call creates the img file at the path and the size that i specify. Could someone also give me some example for the same. Regards Anuj

[libvirt] libvirt and "kvm -cpu=qemu32" problem
by Scaldov M.V. 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Problem is that the images of windows 2003 server, windows 2000 and some other do not start and go to BSOD due to processor mismatch if they were created under either qemu or vmware, or from bare-metal installed OS. By default libvirt starts kvm with "-cpu=qemu32" option instead of, for example, "-cpu=pentium3". There is patch for libvirt-0.6.5 to avoid this problem. Now libvirt takes into account <cpumodel> node from .xml domain config, which overrides libvirt's default -cpu option for kvm. I think, this patch is vital, because of it helps to avoid a waste of time with reinstalling and reconfiguring windows server images. <domain type='kvm'> <name>w2k3s</name> <uuid>e2725d10-7ada-4f71-eea7-fa6cc1a541ee</uuid> <memory>262144</memory> <currentMemory>262144</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <cpumodel>pentium3</cpumodel> <------ <os> <type arch='i686'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> Sorry for not patching GIT-version, GIT is hard to compile in a small time.
