[libvirt-users] hardware error 0x80000021 on Ubuntu 12.10, need advice
by Sebastien Douche 24 May '13

Hi, On a DELL r610 (Intel Xeon L5520) and a Windows guest I have an hardware error. The bug is well known[1][2] and seems fixed with the package 3.5.0-16-generic. But I use 3.5.0-30-generic. Do I need to upgrade to 13.10? Or just the kernel ? Or modify the options of the kvm module? Thanks.

[libvirt-users] USB passthrough not working
by Dale Amon 21 May '13

21 May '13

I just updated an Ubuntu Oneiric to Raring and the VM that works fine on one fails to start a VM with this passthrough: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'> <source> <vendor id='0x055f'/> <product id='0x040b'/> <address bus='3' device='8'/> </source> </hostdev> It just dies at boot time.

[libvirt-users] How to use xl (in place of xm) with libvirt 1.0.2 and Xen 4.2.1 in Ubuntu 13.04?
by Gizmo Chicken 21 May '13

21 May '13

QUESTION: What, if anything, can I do so that I can use xl (in place of xm) with libvirt 1.0.2 and Xen 4.2.1 in Ubuntu 13.04? BACKGROUND: I am testing a fully updated (as of March 27) installation of Ubuntu 13.04 that includes the following packages: libvirt - version 1.0.2-0ubuntu9 xen-hypervisor-4.2-amd64 - version 4.2.1-0ubuntu1 Upon setting TOOLSTACK=xm in /etc/default/xen (as well as making a few needed tweaks to /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp), libvirt and virt-manager worked great. Yippee! I guess that I should be happy that the xm toolstack still works with Xen 4.2.1 and quit while I'm ahead, but... According to libvirt's documentation: "libxl: Starting with Xen 4.2, the legacy XenD/xm toolstack is deprecated in favor of libxl, also commonly called libxenlight. libvirt supports this new Xen toolstack via the libxl driver. If XenD is enabled, the legacy xen driver consisting of the above mentioned channels will be used. If XenD is disabled, the libxl driver will be used." See http://libvirt.org/drvxen.html. In view of the above, I attempted to use xl in place xm by setting TOOLSTACK=xl in /etc/default/xen. And after doing so (both with and without, the above mentioned tweaks to /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp), I recieved the following error when attempting to start virt-manager: Unable to connect to libvirt. unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused Verify that: - A Xen host kernel was booted - The Xen service has been started Libvirt URI is: xen:/// Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1027, in _open_thread self.vmm = self._try_open() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1009, in _try_open flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in openAuth if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirtError: unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused

[libvirt-users] libvirtd using 11GB
by Alex Leonhardt 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi All, Am new to this list, and have asked in #ovirt / ovirt-users list and they pointed me to here ... I've seen libvirtd using ~11 GB of resident memory after the host has been running for about 60+ days with about 40 VMs running on it. The versions I'm currently running are : libvirt.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.7 libvirt-client.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.7 libvirt-lock-sanlock.x86_64 libvirt-python.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.7 I know I can just restart libvirtd and "all should be fine" (and hopefully I'll regain the 11GB of memory) - however, is there an updated version that maybe fixes a memory leak ?? Thanks in advance, Alex -- | RHCE | Sen Sys Engineer / Platform Architect | www.vcore.co | www.vsearchcloud.com |

[libvirt-users] How to see the console output of an EXE session?
by Jon Taylor 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi, I am having trouble with a libvirt lxc EXE container which is starting another EXE container itself, and I need to see the console output of (hopefully) both containers. How do I do this? I have searched the net a lot, but the answers I found were either out of date, wrong or didn't work. Has anyone else here done this? Jon

[libvirt-users] nova compute libvirt driver and libvirt compatibility
by arvind viswanathan 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hi, >From my reading about nova interface to libvirt, I came to know it uses a libvirt driver module to communicate with host libvirt. I was wondering if there are any compatibility matrix available between the nova libvirt driver and the libvirt installed in the host ? Thanks Arvind
