[libvirt-users] virRandomBits - not very random
by Brian Rak 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

I just ran into an issue where I had about 30 guests get duplicate mac addresses assigned. These were scattered across 30 different machines. Some debugging revealed that: 1) All the host machines were restarted within a couple seconds of each other 2) All the host machines had fairly similar libvirtd pids (within ~100 PIDs of each other) 3) Libvirt seeds the RNG using 'time(NULL) ^ getpid()' This perfectly explains why I saw so many duplicate mac addresses. Why is the RNG seed such a predictable value? Surely there has to be a better source of a random seed then the timestamp and the pid? The PID seems to me to be a very bad source of any randomness. I just ran a test across 60 of our hosts. 43 of them shared their PID with at least one other machine.

Hi, The following snippet works fine e.g. receiving the data but when calling stream.finish() we get the following error: stream = con.newStream() vol.download(stream, 0, 0, 0) buf = stream.recv(1024) stream.finish() libvirt: I/O Stream Utils error : internal error: I/O helper exited abnormally Traceback (most recent call last): File "./helpers/kvm2ovirt", line 149, in <module> download_volume(vol, item[1], diskno, disksitems, pksize) File "./helpers/kvm2ovirt", line 102, in download_volume stream.finish() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 5501, in finish if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virStreamFinish() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: I/O helper exited abnormally Am I doing something wrong?

[libvirt-users] unhelpful error message on failed "virsh migrate"
by Andreas Buschmann 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hello, I have two servers where I can push VMs from one to the other by issuing the command virsh migrate --live --persistent --copy-storage-all --verbose \ test6 qemu+ssh://kvmhost2/system on kvmhost1. I can get the VM back by issuing the equivalent command on kvmhost2: virsh migrate --live --persistent --copy-storage-all --verbose \ test6 qemu+ssh://kvmhost1/system After an update (on behalf of the glibc bug) it only works for some VMs and fails for others. The error message is unhelpful: virsh --debug 4 migrate --live --persistent --copy-storage-all --verbose \ vmware-mgmt qemu+ssh://kvmhost1/system error: internal error: info migration reply was missing return status Is there a way to get a more helpful error message? migrating VMs only works for a very limited subset of the VMs on the system in the direction kvmhost2 --> kvmhost2 Stopping the VMs, copying them over to kvmhost1 and restarting still works, and I can even migrate them back. How do I debug this problem? One possible way would be to stop all VMs on kvmhost2, manually copy them to kvmhost1 and start them and afterwards reinstall all packages (or the whole Server if that doesn't help) But that would be a workaround, and I still would not know what the problem is. The system is CentOS 7.2 now and was CentOS 7.1 before the upgrade, with the qemu-kvm-rhev repo added for qemu.

[libvirt-users] Use virt-* tools from within container?
by Ken D'Ambrosio 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi, all. I've set up an LXC container for various Openstack admin chores, and now I'm being asked to have it used for importing qcow2 images -- on which we want to run utilities like virt-sparsify and virt-sysprep, first. Sadly, when I do that, it dies horribly, e.g., root@openstack-cli:/tmp# virt-sysprep -a cloud-image.qcow2 Examining the guest ... libguestfs: warning: supermin-helper -f checksum returned a short string Fatal error: exception Guestfs.Error("cannot find any suitable libguestfs supermin, fixed or old-style appliance on LIBGUESTFS_PATH (search path: /usr/lib/guestfs)") Is there a way around this? Or is the answer, "Don't do that in a container"? Thanks! -Ken P.S. /usr/lib/guestfs -- the only part of the error I can easily look into -- has more stuff in it than the system that does process virt-* commands properly. Here's what's there: excludelist make.sh packagelist supermin.d

[libvirt-users] Networking issues with lxc containers in AWS EC2
by Peter Steele 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

I've created an EC2 AMI for AWS that essentially represents a CentOS 7 "hypervisor" image. I deploy instances of these in AWS and create an number of libvirt based lxc containers on each of these instances. The containers run fine within a single host and have no problem communicating with themselves as well as with their host, and vice versa. However, containers hosted in one EC2 instance cannot communicate with containers hosted in another EC2 instance. We've tried various tweaks with our Amazon VPC but have been unable to find a way to solve this networking issue. If I use something like VMware or KVM and create VMs using this same hypervisor image, the containers running under these VMs can communicate with with each other, even across different hosts. My real question is has anyone tried deploying EC2 images that host containers and have figured out how to successfully communicate between containers on different hosts? Peter

[libvirt-users] Managing VMs across multiple physical hosts
by Daniel Corbe 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

Hello List, We’re currently managing VMs across approximately 26 physical hosts. We tend to migrate VMs around a lot to do things like spread load and keep VMs running when physical hosts are in need of package updates. Suffice it to say sometimes finding out which physical host a VM is currently running on can be a pain. Anyone know of an open source tool that will give me a snapshot of what’s running where across a list of physical hosts? Doesn’t have to be anything fancy. A command-line utility will do. Best, Daniel

[libvirt-users] VM crash : Failed to terminate process X with SIGKILL: Device or resource busy
by Michel Villeneuve 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

Hello since I changed my hypervisor from centos 6.3 to Fedora-23 I had many problems with differents VMs. Very often once by day ( I have about 150 VM ), some VMs crash or freeze indifferently and I got messages like this on console. [<fffffffff8000a08bd>] wake_bit_funtion +0w0/0x23..... [<fffffffff8800a0ead>] :jbd:journal_get_write_access+0x22/0x33 ;;;; [<fffffffff800013ccd>] :ext3:ext3_dirty_inode+0x63/0x7b And so the VM is crashed and can't be accessed but often the ping command can respond Before my migration I never meet these problems, It 's strictly the same VMs between the 6.3 and fedora23 release. I just changed the parameter : <type arch='x86_64' machine='rhel-6.0.0'>hvm</type> to <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.4'>hvm</type> and do a virsh define I tried some other version of the parameters without success. and I also added a lockd manager in fedora23. Before and I used libvirt.0.9.5 or 1.0.2 on centos 6.03 without lockd A major problem with these crashs is that the VMs couldn't be destroyed by the virsh command, the qemu process is notified as defunct by the ps command If I try a virsh destroy I get in log file 2016-04-20 20:32:47.318+0000: 5541: info : virEventPollRunOnce:641 : EVENT_POLL_RUN: nhandles=11 timeout=-1 2016-04-20 20:32:55.028+0000: 5567: debug : virProcessKillPainfully:368 : Timed out waiting after SIGTERM to process 8720, sending SIGKILL 2016-04-20 20:33:00.032+0000: 5567: error : virProcessKillPainfully:398 : Failed to terminate process 8720 with SIGKILL: Périphérique ou ressource occupé or on console Failed to terminate process xxx with SIGTERM: Device or resource busy and the VM is still in the list in a "Stopping" state Result of ps ps on the the qemu process attached to the VM qemu 8720 1 0 avril20 ? 00:07:16 [qemu-system-x86] <defunct> root 8733 2 0 avril20 ? 00:00:01 [vhost-8720] root 8735 2 0 avril20 ? 00:00:00 [kvm-pit/8720] libvirtd seems to be in an anormal state. If I restart the libvirtd the virsh command just hang and never remove the VM from the list. The only seems to reboot the hypervisor but all the VMs in production too. Is there a way to remove the process qemu in defunct state without reboot the hypervisor. Perhaps the probleme come from the VM parameters which have been created on 6.3 Centos and libvirt <1.0 version. Do I need to convert some other parameters ? I 'am trying to put a new hypervisor in aFailed to terminate process X with SIGKILL: Device or resource busy version level less than fedora23 perhaps a Centos 7.2 to see what 's happen and if there is a problem like mine.

[libvirt-users] Mapping physical interface to a container
by Peter Steele 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

In the "other" LXC project (linuxcontainers.org) you can map a host's physical ethernet interface to a container, e.g. lxc.network.type = phys lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.link = eth1 lxc.network.name = eth1 Is there an equivalent option for doing this with libvirt lxc? Peter

[libvirt-users] uefi built from tiancore via edk2 can't persist boot changes
by jsl6uy js16uy 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Apologies if this has been gone over, but I believe I have checked the intertubes more than a bit..... I am using libvirt and have vms booting under an OVMF.fd to use an efi firmware. I can create vms, linux ubuntu, and they will boot up. However, everytime I reboot am I dropped into the default efi shell provide by the tianocore build. Then I must walk the FS to the booting efi app and run, in this case grubx64.efi, to actually finish booting the host. I had tried adding boot entries with efibootmgr within the OS and also bcfg with the efi shell. I get no errors when adding an entry, and the new entry shows up and I can manipulate the entry i.e. set it to next boot and the like. Soon as I reboot I get dumped back to efi shell. Am I missing something? Are the var changes not being stored? Is there someplace to look for an error perhaps? I also can use the same efi bootloader under libvirt to boot a hybrid iso. location of the efi application on the hybrid iso is /EFI/boot/bootx64.efi. Drops me right into my grub menu, after falling thru from EFI FLOPPY1 and EFI FLOPPY2 to EFI DVD So since that was/is working, tried adding that to my efi partition so it has /EFI/boot/bootx64.efi. The thinking being that since I can't add an entry, I will setup for the "known" efi boot path. Of course that didn't work either I am on arch linux: Linux X 4.4.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 10 07:38:19 CET 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux local/libvirt 1.3.2-3 API for controlling virtualization engines (openvz,kvm,qemu,virtualbox,xen,etc) local/libvirt-python 1.3.1-1 libvirt python binding UEFI: Shell> ver UEFI Interactive Shell v2.1 EDK II UEFI v2.50 (EDK II, 0x00010000) for this host....my nvram setting look like <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.5'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/home/xyz/OVMF.fd</loader> <nvram template='/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd'>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/X_VARS.fd</nvram> <boot dev='hd'/> </os>

[libvirt-users] Create multiple domains from single saved domain state (is UUID/name fixed?)
by Jonas Finnemann Jensen 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Hi, I would like to save a running domain (ie. disk + memory) and be able to restore it multiple times creating duplicates of the orignal domain all starting from the same state. Use case: I'm building a task-processing system for use in a CI flow. I want to run multiple VMs in parallel using the same image (always starting from the same state). And to avoid needlessly booting between each task, I would like to save (and distribute) the domain state, so that I just restore from memory. However, I can't seems to change the UUID or the name of a domain once it is saved. Nor do I seem able to rename a domain while it is running. I can obviously duplicate both the disks and the file to which I saved the domain state using "virsh save". But I seem unable to rename before I restore.. Any ideas? Could I do this with snapshots? I suspect not since I see virDomainSnapshotRedefinePrep() calling virDomainDefCheckABIStability which raises the error here: https://fossies.org/dox/libvirt-1.3.3/domain__conf_8c_source.html#l17991 Out of curiosity does anyone know what horrors might befall me if I were to remove the lines protecting against name and UUID changes? Then compile my own libvirt... The comment in the code says name can be changed, but I'm guessing I would have to change the UUID too. Does anyone see how that would create issues? I'm not sure how libvirt uses the UUID internally. -- Regards Jonas Finnemann Jensen.

[libvirt-users] Can libvird use iSCSI direcly?
by Basin Ilya 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Hi. I was expecting that qemu-kvm process would connect directly to iSCSI server, but https://libvirt.org/storage.html#StorageBackendISCSI says that it wants symlinks in `/dev/disk/by-path` . That suggests it relies on Linux iSCSI client that will act as mediator and create block devices. So is "iSCSI volume pools" just a convenience thing giving no performance gain compared to attaching block devices to my guest?

[libvirt-users] How to optimize for IBM db2?
by Basin Ilya 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi. I have performance problems with IBM DB2 10.5 server on KVM guest: [db2inst1@wc8ws-auth ~]$ time db2 create db test DB20000I The CREATE DATABASE command completed successfully. real 7m46.155s user 0m0.022s sys 0m0.027s It takes 30 seconds to create a database on an image mounted with -oloop. I think it's because db2 uses O_DIRECT to ensure consistency. I also think that O_DIRECT is not propagated to host with default cache modes in VM settings. The real problem is: when guest writes data in small blocks, host CPU becomes a bottleneck. I hava a relatively old 24-core Xeon. Host `top` shows 130% CPU usage by qemu-kvm, when I run the following command: [root@wc8ws-auth ~]# </dev/zero timeout -sINT 30s dd iflag=fullblock oflag=direct conv=notrunc of=./bigfile bs=8192 140384+0 records in 140384+0 records out 1150025728 bytes (1.2 GB) copied, 29.9992 s, 38.3 MB/s I tried all buses, cache modes and IO modes; "Cache mode=none" is slower, others are almost equal. I moved from image file to LVM. This raised the speed from 16M to 38M. I also tried VirtualBox, but it's neither faster, nor slower, and it eats CPU too. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Ilya Basin software engineer Reksoft Skype: basin_ilya phone +7(812)324-24-40*553

[libvirt-users] how to list and kill existing console sessions to VMs?
by Francesco Romani 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi everyone, If a VM is configured to have a console attached to it, like using http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementCharConsole Libvirt offers access to VM serial console's using the virDomainOpenConsole API[1] However, I didn't find a way to 1. list the existing connections to the console 2. kill an existing connection - without reconnecting using VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_FORCE[2] Am I missing something? How can I do that? Rationale for my request oVirt [3] offers a management interface for VMs, and we have recently integrated user-friandly VM serial console access [4] in the system; in the future release we want to enhance the administation capabilities allowing to check existing connections and to terminate them (maybe because it got stuck). +++ [1] http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainOpenConsole [2] http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_FORCE [4] http://www.ovirt.org/ [5] https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/engine/serial-con… et. al. -- Francesco Romani RedHat Engineering Virtualization R & D Phone: 8261328 IRC: fromani

[libvirt-users] DBus API for libvirt
by sbaugh＠catern.com 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hello, For a variety of reasons I am interested in a D-Bus interface for libvirt. Primarily for use with http://cockpit-project.org/ for which it would be very easy to write a web interface for libvirt, given a D-Bus interface for libvirt, but writing using the raw libvirt RPC protocol would require writing a new Javascript library for parsing/encoding that protocol. But there are other nice features of a D-Bus interface for libvirt, too. Does a D-Bus interface for libvirt exist? Thanks!

Hi, My use case involves creating duplicates of saved virtual machines. Tried with virt-manager and with virsh but so far it seems like this case is not supported by these tools. Does anyone know how I could achieve the above? Thanks, Michael

[libvirt-users] CentOS 6 and 1.3.3
by Brian Rak 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

libvirt 1.3.3 seems to have introduced some kind of issue on CentOS 6 (no systemd). After upgrading, libvirt would take an incredibly long time to get to a state where it would actually respond to a simple 'virsh list' command.

This leads to absurdly long startup times. This behavior was not present in 1.3.1. My workaround was to just recompile with '--with-firewalld=no --with-dbus=no', which seems to have worked. There's not really anything useful for libvirt to be talking to via dbus (in our environment), so no big loss there.

[libvirt-users] add external access to routed dnsmasq
by Jeff 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

I have created a routed virtual network. From within the routed net, DNS requests to the dnsmasq interface virbr2 work fine. On the libvirt host, DNS requests to the dnsmasq interface virbr2 work fine. I would like to allow external hosts, on the same network as the libvirt host, to query the dnsmasq interface. However external DNS queries to the virbr2 interface time out. The iptables firewall for this interface and port look clear. question: How to enable external dns queries to my routed virtual network? my config: dnsmasq-2.66-14.el7_1.x86_64 libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.3.x86_64 thanks, Jeff

[libvirt-users] libvirtd vs XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
by Lars Kellogg-Stedman 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

I ran into an odd problem today. I wanted to share it here in the hopes of maybe saving someone else some lost time. When you run libvirtd as an unprivileged user (e.g., if you target qemu:///session from a non-root account), then libvirt will open a unix domain socket in one of two places: - If XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is defined, then inside $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/libvirt-sock - If XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is *not* defined, then inside $HOME/.cache/libvirt/libvirt-sock With a CentOS 7 system, at least, if you ssh directly into an account, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set. But! If you `su -` to the account from root, e.g: # su - stack Then XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is *not* set. The problem is a little subtle, because most operations you will perform will work just fine in both cases: you can query for defined but not active guests, storagep pools, volumes, and so forth without a problem and you'll get the same answer. The problem crops up when you start a guest, which results in a persistent libvirtd process. Now, depending on how you got to your account, you will either (a) talk to the persistent process, and you'll be able to see the running guests, or (b) you'll end up spawning a new ephemeral libvirtd process listening in the *other* location, and you won't see anything, and you will wonder why there is a qemu process running for your guest but it's not showing up in "virsh list" and what the heck is going on here. I don't know if there's a good solution to this, but the failure mode is really non-obvious.

Hi, I am using virStorageVolDownload to download volumes for the VDSM project. What is the best approch to know domains volume? Is there an api for associating domain to its pool and then to its volumes? I was able to do that by iterating the pools and then iterating all its volume..., is there a better way? Thank you, Shahar Havivi.

[libvirt-users] Encrytped USB devices
by Daniel Vázquez 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Hi here! How libvirt virsh solves attachment of hot plug/unplug encrytped USB devices?? We've no problems attaching full encrypted(LUKS) usb disk or memory pen to guest using virsh attach-disk command. But not working using virsh attach-device to use USB pass-through and hot plug/unplug features. USB pass-through works properly without encryption. Any procedure to make it working?, attach-disk expects for a static source (for example /dev/sdX), and we need some dynamical source assigment due USB temporal and different host target, it's why we're trying the attachment via attach-device to take advantage of plug/unplug via USB pass-through, but only works on non-encrypted usb devices. We unknow if exist any alternatively way to make attach-disk more dinamically, maybe by udev script or uuid source identification and some re-attach procedure, any recommendation?? or virsh command direct solution?? Thanks P.D. Please be free to move at libvir-list(a)redhat.com (for development) if it's a new requested feature or fixing.

[libvirt-users] Can you get page dirtying information on non-migrating VMs?
by tfcyundlim dehasawzdg 04 Apr '16

Hello everyone, I've been looking through the libvirt API to get information about memory page dirtying of VMs. I need these to aid decisions on which VM to migrate. The only thing I found is virDomainGetJobStats() with VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_MEMORY_DIRTY_RATE but that only works when a migration is already running. Is there a way to get information on VMs which are not already migrating? Thanks and best regards, Dave

[libvirt-users] hanging libvirtd 1.2.17 centos7
by Philippe D'Anjou 03 Apr '16

Hi,I am having an issue on several KVM hosts which run CentOs7 and libvirt-daemon-1.2.17-13.el7_2.3.x86_64 .About once a week the libvirtd hangs forever and becomes unresponsive, the only help is to restart it. I attached gdb to it and the output of it can be seen at the end of the mail. Laine from the irc channel suggests it has to do with dbus/policykit. If anybody got an idea what it could be and point me in the right direction or help further analyzing this issue I'd be very grateful. kind regards Philippe d'Anjou (gdb) thread apply all bt Thread 16

[libvirt-users] dynamic_ownership behavior with volumes
by Hyeonseop Lee 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hi, I'm having troubles with volume ownership. When I configure domain with disk type='file', dynamic_ownership works fine, the owner of image file changes into libvirt-qemu:kvm. However when I add the image file as a libvirt volume (in default pool) and configure domain with disk type=volume, the owner of image file remains root:root. Actually, libvirt seems to be changing the owner into root:root even after I manually changed it. Is this intended behavior? If so, what is preferred way to set ownership of volume image files, instead of running qemu as root? FYI, I'm using libvirt 1.2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04. Thank you!

[libvirt-users] Using virDomainInterfaceAddresses
by Marin Bek 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hi, I'm trying to use virDomainInterfaceAddresses to get interface info for XEN DOMs but keep getting following error: libvirt: Domain Config error : this function is not supported by the connection driver: virDomainInterfaceAddresses I tried recompiling libvirt with ./configure --with-interface --with-network and it all went fine but still no luck. Am i missing something? Thanks, Marin

[libvirt-users] How is calculate the lock with lockd_manager
by villeneu＠kassis.univ-brest.fr 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello I use lock_manager with libvirt 1.3 and I would like to know how is exactly calculate the hash SHA256. I would create a table to retreive the name with the hash in case of crash to release manualy the lock. I do an sha256 hash from /var/lib/libvirt/images/lock/MyVM.img but I don't get the same hash code form virtlockd ? Any Ideas ? Best regards ----- PS: sorry for my previous mail it was in a wrong thread
