[libvirt-users] xl extra parameters equivalent for libvirt
by Emma Anderson
hi,
I use xl toolstack to manage vms on a Xen machine, and also pass some custom parameters when creating a vm, for example:
xl create vm.cfg ' param="xyz" '
I am moving to libvirt for vm management. How I can pass those extra parameters using libvirt?
Thanks.

[libvirt-users] Pivot without copy
by Mathew Moon
Hi,
Is it possible to "pivot" to a new image without doing blockcopy or
blockpull? I know how to use snapshots and blockpull to create a new image
and pivot to using it live, but what I would like to do is to have a VM
switch from using imageA.qcow2 to image2.qcow2 while running. I don't see
why this wouldn't be possible since some of the existing libvirt tools can
do this when they are done. I would love to see an example from a bash
terminal as well as how it would be done using the python API.
Regards,
Mathew

[libvirt-users] Hardware requirements for SPICEd desktops
by Lucio Crusca
Hello,
I posted the following to the kvm list yesterday, but now I suspect this
is a more appropriate place to ask...
I'm considering to build a new server and to use SPICE protocol to
deploy all the Windows guests to the local network.
It's my understanding that:
1. I should create the guests on the server
2. I should use remote-viewer on a minimal desktop linux on the clients
over SPICE protocol
3. I should enable QXL on the server
4. I can get clients USB ports and soundcards working in the guests
Now, assuming I've understood the above correctly, I haven't understood
what are the hardware requirements server and client side:
1. Let's say I assign 4GB of RAM to each guest and that the network has
20 running guests at any given time, should the server have at least
80GB (20 by 4) of RAM or can I "oversell" a bit and bet on the fact that
only few guests will actually use 4GB?
2. What's a reasonable amount of RAM to have installed client-side, for
4GB-RAM guests?
3. Should the clients have a CPU that supports VT-x?
4. Is it possible to have QXL supported on the clients regardless of the
physical video adapter installed?
5. And what about the soundcard support? Will any linux-supported
soundcard do on the clients?

[libvirt-users] Live Migration failure: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
by RockCui＠zhaoxin.com
Hi everyone,
I’m testing the new Openstack Kilo on Ubuntu-15.04 and hypervisor is KVM.
I can creat instance successfully , but live migration is always failed. Error report like this (from nova-compute.log on a compute node):

[libvirt-users] vnetX interface name persistence
by Lucas Brasilino
Hi!
I'm aware that (host side) vnetX are created when VM boots. But I'm trying to
figure out a way ti create a persistence in vnetX names. What I mean is,
say, I want to associate VMs vm0 to vnet0, vm1 to vnet1, vm2 to vnet2 and
so forth, no matter which order the VMs are booted. I looked around network
XML format, but did't find something...
Since I'm using Open vSwitch as bridge, and it is controlled by my OpenFlow
application, I can query for OF ports numbers based on port names
(interfaces names).
OVSDB can be used for such query, but the controller I'm
using, Pox, has a limited support to it (stills in development).
I'm using libvirt 1.0.5 and Qemu/KVM 1.4.2 on a Fedora 19 host.
Thanks a lot in advance.
