[libvirt-users] Hyper-V 2008 R2 support ?
by Jean-François FILIPPI
Hi,
I'm trying libvirt to connect to Hyper-V servers. It works fine for
Hyper-V 2012 servers, however it doesn't work for Hyper-V 2008 R2 (the
exact error is |
Call to virConnectOpenAuth failed: internal error: Transport error
during enumeration: Could not connect (7) (Libvirt::ConnectionError)|.).
I'm using the code provided by libvirt documentation
(http://libvirt.org/ruby/examples/open_auth.rb) and have authorized
basic auth plus unencrypted connection on both 2008 R2 & 2012 servers
(http://libvirt.org/drvhyperv.html#auth).
Surfing the Internet to find some solutions, I found this
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-April/msg00802.html)
where a developer talks about stopping 2008 R2 support (because of some
technical stuff), while in the documentation
(http://libvirt.org/drvhyperv.html) it is explicitely said to be
supporting 2008 R2.
My question is : does the support has been stopped or does the code to
connect to a 2008 R2 server is different from the 2012 server ?
I'm using libvirt 1.2.2 and ruby-libvirt 1.2.2.
Thanks for your help,

[libvirt-users] ANNOUNCE: Oz 0.13.0 release
by Chris Lalancette
All,
I'm pleased to announce release 0.13.0 of Oz. Oz is a program
for doing automated installation of guest operating systems with
limited input from the user. Release 0.13.0 is a bugfix and feature
release for Oz. Some of the highlights between Oz 0.12.0 and 0.13.0
are:
- For Fedora, if the user specifies a version, but that isn't
supported yet, try the last supported version (in this case), as that
will often work.
- Fix a regression where we forgot to force the qcow2 image type
- Allow installs that use more than one installation device
- Add support for RHEL 6.5
- Rename OEL-6 to OL-6
- Add support for Ubuntu 14.04
- Add Windows 8.1 support
- Add CentOS-7 support
- Add the ability to specify kernel parameters in the TDL
- Make sure to remove dhcp leases from guests after the install
- Fix support for FreeBSD
- Add in support for TDL "precommands"; these are commands that are
run *before* package installation
- Fix up file locking
- Add support for RHEL 5.11
- Remove Ubuntu ssh keys at the end of installation
- Add support for Ubuntu 14.10
- Add support for XInclude, for merging various TDLs together
- Add Fedora 21 support
- Add support for ppc64 and ppc64le
A tarball and zipfile of this release is available on the Github
releases page: https://github.com/clalancette/oz/releases . Packages
for Fedora-20, Fedora-21, Fedora-22, EPEL-6, and EPEL-7 have been
built in Koji and will eventually make their way to stable.
Instructions on how to get and
use Oz are available at http://github.com/clalancette/oz/wiki .
If you have questions or comments about Oz, please feel free to
contact me at clalancette at gmail.com, or open up an issue on the
github page: http://github.com/clalancette/oz/issues .
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release through bug reports,
patches, and suggestions for improvement.

[libvirt-users] live migration - qemu hook
by Martin Klepáč
Hi,
I am using qemu hook script to track status of VM live migration - libvirt
1.2.9 as included in Debian Wheezy backports.
I would like to be informed of the fact that VM migration has successfully
finished as soon as possible. Based on the steps below, when would that be
possible?
Sample VM migration as detected by qemu hook script:
1.) Destination hypervisor:
[10:27:42.224] Args: one-16 migrate begin
2.) Destination hypervisor:
[10:27:42.253] Args: one-16 prepare begin
3.) Destination hypervisor:
[10:27:42.472] Args: one-16 start begin
4.) Destination hypervisor:
[10:27:42.890] Args: one-16 started begin
5.) Actual VM migration...takes approximately 10 seconds in this case.
6.) Source hypervisor:
[10:27:51.847] Args: one-16 stopped end
7.) Source hypervisor:
[10:27:51.882] Args: one-16 release end
Based on the website, "Unless an error occurs during the migration process,
the *qemu* hook script on the *source* host is then executed with the
"stopped" and "release" operations to indicate it is no longer running on
this host."
So the source hypervisor in steps no. 6 and 7 knows that it is no longer
running a VM, right? Does that mean that the destination hypervisor is
already running the VM at the moment corresponding to step no. 6? If so, is
there any hook on the destination hypervisor, which would inform of the
fact that the hypervisor has copied the last portions of VM memory and has
become responsible for the VM in question?
Thank you,
Martin

Distro packages of virt-manager should work fine, once you get libvirt building.
I recommend you download the ubuntu .deb config files for libxl, and
rebuild+install libxl with the exact same build flags your distro packages
use. They've already figured out the necessary flags to make things work
together with the other distro packages. Then do the same with libvirt.

[libvirt-users] Broken OS when booting rootfs from 9p share
by Olivier Mauras
Hello,
I've been trying to boot a VM with the rootfs being a 9P
share from the host. The VM OS is centos 7.
The OS boots but no services
can work and it appears that the authentication system is broken.
Now
the funny thing is that booting the same OS on the same 9P share
manually with Qemu works as expected with a fully functionnal OS... So
I'm wondering what could libvirt do that render the OS on the share
broken - Something with rights ?
Selinux is disabled on the host, and
accessmode to the share is set to passthrough in both cases.
Here's my
working Qemu line:
qemu -kernel
/srv/overlay/kernels/grsec-3.14.33-101/vmlinuz-3.14.33-101.el6.x86_64
-initrd
/srv/overlay/kernels/grsec-3.14.33-101/initramfs-3.14.33-101.el6.x86_64.img
-fsdev
