[libvirt-users] Building XML from working qemu command-line for ARM virtio
by Clark Laughlin
Hello,
I've got a working QEMU command line that I am trying to get into a libvirt dom xml and using domxml-from-native doesn't seem to know how to handle all of it.
It's for ARM using some new virtio syntax:
qemu-system-arm -machine virt -cpu cortex-a15 -enable-kvm -m 512 -kernel mach-virt-guest-3.11-zImage -display none -serial stdio -netdev type=user,id=mynet -device virtio-net-device,netdev=mynet -drive index=0,id=mydrive,file=saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf.img -device virtio-blk-device,drive=mydrive -initrd saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf-initrd-lpae -append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda"
Does anyone have any suggestions for converting the rest of it, specifically the -netdev, -drive, and -device params?
Here is what domxml-from-native gives:
<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>

[libvirt-users] libvirtError: Unable to add bridge br0 port vnet0: Operation not supported
by Maciej Gałkiewicz
Hi
I am using Libvirt 1.1.2 with Openstack Havana (RC2, nova-network) and
openvswitch 1.4.2+git20120612-9.1. Libvirt vif driver (
nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtGenericVIFDriver) generates config likes this:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='fa:16:3e:44:30:a4'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<filterref filter='nova-instance-instance-000003d8-fa163e0b07a7'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
and instance fails to start with:
2013-10-16 11:16:13.004+0000: 11943: info : virNetDevProbeVnetHdr:122 :
Enabling IFF_VNET_HDR
2013-10-16 11:16:13.105+0000: 11943: error : virNetDevBridgeAddPort:370 :
Unable to add bridge br0 port vnet0: Operation not supported
If I add <virtualport type='openvswitch' /> inside <interface
type='bridge'>...</interface> it seems to work fine. Is it nova-network or
libvirt bug or some misconfiguration?
regards

[libvirt-users] qemuMonitorIO internal error
by Francois Gaudreault
Hi,
I am trying to get some VMs running under qemu-kvm. At some point the
VM starts, but then they shutdown by themselves and I see those messages
in the log:
2013-10-11 18:28:57.165+0000: 4148: error : qemuMonitorIO:615 : internal
error: End of file from monitor
2013-10-11 18:28:57.165+0000: 4148: debug : qemuMonitorIO:648 : Error on
monitor internal error: End of file from monitor
Any ideas what could cause this behavior?
I am running Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 with libvirt 1.1.1 and qemu-kvm 1.5.0.

[libvirt-users] event handler
by Alexandr
good day to all.
i still have not solved my problem with event handling.
currently i have following code
void libvirt_eventloop_thr_func()
{
while(true) //TODO: stop somehow on exit
{
if(virEventRunDefaultImpl() < 0)
{
virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError();
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to run event loop: %s\n", err && err->message
? err->message : "Unknown error");
}
}
}
...
virSetErrorFunc(NULL, libvirt_error_handler);
libvirt_connection = virConnectOpen("qemu:///system");
if (virEventRegisterDefaultImpl() < 0)
{
virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError();
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to register event implementation: %s\n", err
&& err->message ? err->message: "Unknown error");
return -1;
}
{
int callback = virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(libvirt_connection,
NULL, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE,
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK(domain_event_handler), NULL, NULL);
if(callback == -1)
{
std::cout<<"Error: failed to register domain event handle
callback\n";
return -1;
}
}
boost::thread(boost::bind(&libvirt_eventloop_thr_func));
...
libvirt_eventloop_thr_func() called, and locked on
virEventRunDefaultImpl(), can it be called in thread, and if no, how
should i use it correctly ?
sorry for asking again, but i really can't solve it myself.
thx in advance.

[libvirt-users] migrate & virtlockd
by NEVEU Stephane
Hi all,
I'm testing virtlockd with libvirt 1.1.3 and it seems I can't migrate my VMs from the first to my second kvm node (on a NFS storage). Virtlockd is locking my qcow2 :
Error : resource busy Lockspace resource 'ea3jkj78.....' is locked
As a result my VM is paused.
How can I fix this behavior ?
Thank you for your help.
