[libvirt-users] release open_disk error
by Frido Roose
Hello,
I wonder what the "open error -1" / "release open_disk error" messages in sanlock.log actually mean.
I saw these messages in the log on a KVM host that rebooted, and after running "/usr/sbin/virt-sanlock-cleanup" on that host.
The resources where disks from 2 guests running on another KVM host.
So in fact the disks are still in use, bot got cleaned up by the other KVM host because it thought they were not longer in use...
Several questions:
1. Could this indicate a problem with the lease of these resources on the server that host these guests?
2. Is there a way to reregister these resources, because they are still in use (but not for sanlock it seems)?
3. Overall, is it a bad idea to run virt-sanlock-cleanup?
Some entries from the log file:
538 s1:r35 resource __LIBVIRT__DISKS__:e133401bfdff6979f76d9544ec8a5529:/var/lib/libvirt/sanlock/e133401bfdff6979f76d9544ec8a5529:0 for 1,9,4218

[libvirt-users] creating a domain
by John Wayne
hi,
i am a bit confused on how to start an inactive domain using the python bindings, any help would be appreciated.
(inactive as in the domain was created with virConnect.defineXML sometime in the past)
looks like i have to use virDomain.create, however virDomain.create needs a defined domain xmldesc as a parameter and i am not sure on how to get that
i guess if virConnect.create was happening right after virConnect.defineXML i could get the return value of virConnect.defineXML and pass that onto virDomain.create.
however, since the domain was created sometime in the past, i am not sure on how to get the domain ptr which virDomain.create needs
thanks

Sometimes I see "invalid pointer" as well. It seems a bug to the libvirt java API. Has anyone seen this error before? Thanks.

[libvirt-users] SSH connection timeout
by Ananth
Hi,
I am trying to connect to libvirt on KVM host from a remote python client,
using the connection string "qemu+ssh://<IP Address>/system"
If I setup password less SSH (Public key) between the machines, I am able
to proceed with the connection. But If I have not setup the public key
authentication, my code hangs trying to connect to libvirt, and there is a
prompt for entering password in the shell where the code is running.
Is there any way to catch this in an exception and throw an error that
public key not setup or password not available? Or is it possible to
timeout and abort the request to connect to the host? Whatever timeout
variables available online seem to work only for an already active SSH
session to timeout.
Any pointers ?

[libvirt-users] Passing dhcp-options
by Michael Hierweck
Hi,
I'm running some Windows clients inside KVM virtual maschines managed by
libvirt. These clients are managed by a Samba 3 PDC. Therefore the DHCP
needs so supply corresponding WINS server (dhcp option 44) not only IP
address and DNS server.
Is it possible to make dnsmasq driven by libvirt to supply custom dhcp
options?
I would appreciate something like this in the network.xml:
[...]
<dhcp>
<range [...] />
<option key="key1">value1</option>
<option key="key2">value2</option>
[...]
</dhcp>
[...]
Is there any other solution? Using DHCP to configure clients does not
make sense when parts (WINS) of the IP configurations need to be hard
coded in the clients.
Thanks in advance
Michael

[libvirt-users] libvirt read only connections upgraded to full access connections
by Doug Goldstein
I've gone through the docs and the API and I didn't see a way to do
this but I wanted to confirm. My application gives a bunch of info on
the state of a VM that's available through a connection created
through libvirt.openReadOnly() but at some point the user might want
to restart the VM let's say. This requires a full privilege
connection, rather than opening a new connection I was hoping to
upgrade the existing one to a full privilege connection.
Just confirming that's not possible.
