[libvirt-users] Define storage pool on NFS, mounted from fstab
by Николай /Thug/ 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Good day. We've got a question, as there's a need to mount NFS over RDMA. How we should define a pool on an already mounted NFS folder? The pool must be "shared" for all KVM nodes for live migration purposes. Thanks in advance.

[libvirt-users] snapshot-create-as for a single disk not all disks
by cmcc.dylan 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hi everyone! Is there any way to create snaphot for a single disk of a virtual machine. As I konw, "virsh snapshot-create-as domain_name snapshot_name --disk-only" traverses all block devices to create snapshot. However I don't want to create snapshot except for root partition. The version of qemu and libvirt I used is as follows: qemu-1.4.2 and libvrit-0.10.2 I meet an error when I delete the snapshot which is created by "snapshot-create-as" command. whether or not qemu(1.4.2) and libvirt(0.10.2) don't support the function currently. Look forward to your help!

[libvirt-users] Libvirt and Qemu for Debian Squeeze
by McEvoy, James 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Has anyone built current debs for Debian Squeeze (v6.0.7) that supports virtio-scsi, Fibre Channel World Wind Names and virt-install for the virtio-scis controller (0.600.4)? I have a need to run a RHEL 6.4 guest on a Debian Squeeze KVM host and I do not have experience building debs instead of rpms. --jim

[libvirt-users] cgroup error starting domains
by Matteo Bernardini 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

Hi, I've got a small problem using libvirt-1.0.5.1 (with the latest patch in the v1.0.5-maint branch on git added). I'm using slackware64-14.0 but the situation is exactly the same described on a debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707201 When trying to start a domain I got error: Failed to start domain debian-wheezy-xfce error: Unable to initialize /machine cgroup: Invalid argument with this in libvirtd.log virCgroupDetect:373 : Failed to detect mounts for /machine qemuInitCgroup:425 : Unable to initialize /machine cgroup: Invalid argument and the error goes away if I unmount /sys/fs/cgroup. Reverting to 1.0.4 fixes this, but this exposes another thing that I report even if I'm not sure it's an error: if I create a domain with 1.0.5.1 (I use the latest virt-manager to do this), in the xml of the domain there's a line that doesn't seem to have the close tag <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> If I revert to 1.0.4 the domain with this line in the xml doesn't even get listed between the available domains and I got this in libvirtd.log virDomainControllerDefParseXML:4838 : internal error Unknown controller type 'pci' deleting the interested line make it available again. Please let me know if you need further informations on the matters. Matteo

Re: [libvirt-users] Not able to open Xen Connection using libvirt
by varun bhatnagar 22 Jun '13

No it was not booted with xen kernel. Actually I tried booting it with xen kernel but I am getting a message saying Error No 15 : File not found. I tried editing the grub entry and noticed that there are 3 entries: 1) kernel /boot/xen.gz vga= mode-0x345 2) module /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.13-0.27-xen....... 3) module /boot/initrd-3.0.13-0.27-xen And in /boot i listed down the files, only xen.gz is there. Rest of the 2 files are not there (pasted the screenshot below). Even at one site it was given to remove /boot from the path but that also din't work. How shall I solve this one? // Varun On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 1:07 AM, Prasad <prasad(a)mukhedkar.com> wrote: > On 06/18/2013 10:03 PM, varun bhatnagar wrote: > > Hi, > > I am trying to create virtual machine through libvirt using xen > hypervisor.

[libvirt-users] 32 bit client on 32bit host

As mentioned in another post, I trying to set up an existing Windows7 partition on an Ubuntu desktop as a libvirt guest and now have the following configuration files for this: <domain type='qemu'> <name>Windows7</name> <uuid>b2c9c297-907a-159d-7e87-a24a01eb5a57</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>1048576</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='i686' machine='pc-1.2'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> <bootmenu enable='yes'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>kvm32</model> <vendor>Intel</vendor> <feature policy='require' name='pbe'/> <feature policy='require' name='tm2'/> <feature policy='require' name='osxsave'/> <feature policy='require' name='ss'/> <feature policy='require' name='lm'/> <feature policy='require' name='dtes64'/> <feature policy='require' name='ht'/> <feature policy='require' name='ds'/> <feature policy='require' name='lahf_lm'/> <feature policy='require' name='xsave'/> <feature policy='require' name='tm'/> <feature policy='require' name='pdcm'/> <feature policy='require' name='pse36'/> <feature policy='require' name='ds_cpl'/> <feature policy='require' name='cx16'/> <feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/> <feature policy='require' name='acpi'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-i386</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/sda1'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:22:60:93'/> <source network='default'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/> <sound model='ich6'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </sound> <video> <model type='vga' vram='9216' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> I manually changed the <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> to <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-i386</emulator> since my hard drive partition contains 32bit Windows 7, although I'm not sure that this applies. My current machine setup it dual-boot, so I can boot Windows 7 from the first partition (/dev/sda1) using a grub boot menu. However, when I start the Windows 7 VM, I just get "Booting from Hard Disk" in the virt-manager console. What could be the problem? Lastly: /def/sda1 in a boot partition, but the rest of Windows is installed on /dev/sda2, but this partition is not marked bootable. thanks Roland
