[libvirt-users] Java Application on 64bit Windows

by mehmet ayar

Hi, I am trying to develop a Java application with libvirt 0.5.1. I am trying this on Windows7 64bit. I downladed libvirt-0.5.1.jar and jna.jar files and added them to the Buildpath. Then I installed VirtViewer for windows 64 bit and copied dll files. In my application if i only use System.setProperty("jna.library.path", PATH_TO_DLL); then i see "UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'virt'" error. If i also use System.load(PATH_TO_DLL); then i see "UnsatisfiedLinkError:PATH_TO_DLL: Can't find dependent libraries" I searched everything in internet but couldn't find the same error with dependent libraries. What's missing in my setup? and why just setting jna path won't work for me, as it seems like worked on others. any help will welcome. regards,Memed

[libvirt-users] Migration command regression as of 1.3.4

by Brian Rak

Per the documentation, https://libvirt.org/migration.html#scenarionativedirect , 'virsh migrate domain dest interface' was a support command. As of 1.3.4 (when compression support was added), it's not. For example: # virsh migrate test qemu+ssh://10.0.0.1/system tcp://10.0.0.1/ error: invalid argument: Unsupported compression method 'tcp://10.0.0.1/' It seems like the compression code is grabbing the last argument now. Was this intentional? If so, what is the new command format? When will the documentation be updated?

[libvirt-users] Problem with USB pass through after switching to Xenial from Trusty

by Dale Amon

I use a virtual machine for a scanner I have for which the vendor never updated their driver. I have accessed it for years using a pass through: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x055f'/> <product id='0x040b'/> </source> </hostdev> I brought this over from the old config and although the machine boots as if it sees it, all I get with an lsusb it that the VM's usb hub exists. The scanner is showing on the host machine. I tried deleting the device and remapping it in virt-manager and then restarting the vm. No joy. So what has changed, or was there something I may have had to do 4 years ago to set this up that I have long forgotten? Perhaps some hack in udev on the host? I really need access to this scanner... like 4 hours ago!

[libvirt-users] unable to connect with virt-v2v to VMWare

by Cam Mac

Hi, I am trying to import and convert some VMWare guests from a VMWare cluster with vCenter version 6, to a KVM (oVirt) host. The KVM node (RHEL 7.2) has virt-v2v 1.28.1, though I've also tried using Fedora 23 which has 1.32.4. The details are: vCenter server: nssesxi-mgmt Datacenter name: North Sutton Street esxi server which runs the VM: nssesxi-mgmt04 folder name: Systems VM name: wvm2 cluster name: nssesxi Unfortunately, spaces were put in the name of the datacenter, so I escape them with %20 I authenticate against a AD domain (ARDA) with user 'cam' So the final URI is constructed as: vpx://<DOMAIN\user@<vcenter_server>/<folder>/<datacenter_name>/<esxi_server> <vm_name> The error I get is: # virt-v2v -v -x -ic vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1 wvm2 virt-v2v: libguestfs 1.28.1 (x86_64) [ 0.0] Opening the source -i libvirt -ic vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt /Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1 wvm2 input_libvirt_vcenter_https: source: scheme vpx server nssesxi-mgmt Enter ARDA\cam's password for nssesxi-mgmt: libvirt: ESX Driver error : internal error: Could not find compute resource specified in '/Systems/North Sutton Street/nssesxi04-mgmt' virt-v2v: error: internal error: invalid argument: cannot open libvirt connection 'vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt /Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1' If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] # # virsh -c 'vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1' list --all Enter ARDA\cam's password for nssesxi-mgmt: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: internal error: Could not find compute resource specified in '/Systems/North Sutton Street/nssesxi04-mgmt' # I can access via http a list of VMs at the following URL: https://nssesxi-mgmt/folder?dcPath=North%2520Sutton%2520Street&dsName=nss... Below is the URI to the vm itself (once shutdown, it gets the name 'vm2_1'): https://nssesxi-mgmt/folder/wvm2_1?dcPath=North%2520Sutton%2520Street&dsN... Any idea why the virsh and virt-v2v stuff doesn't work? Cheers, -Cam

[libvirt-users] Get information during live migration

by 鍾致曜

Hello, I'm a student, and I have a question when using libvirt. Is there any way to use the libvirt API to know the VM is migrated from what IP address during live migration? Or, could I use the API to monitor where the VM is migrated to? Thanks! And sorry for my poor english John

[libvirt-users] Migration problem - takes 5 minutes to start moving the memory

by Marc-Aurèle Brothier - Exoscale

Hi, I'm facing a strange issue while doing a migration from an hypervisor to another one. The migration takes for ever to start moving the memory. The VM had no workload what so ever, just a basic ubuntu image. The versions on the hypervisors are: libvirt 1.2.21, qemu 1.2.3 Command to launche the migration: virsh migrate --verbose --live --abort-on-error --tunnelled --p2p --auto-converge --copy-storage-inc --xml vm-6160.xml 6160 qemu+tls://<destination_hypervisor>/system Here is the log output, look at the time elapsed: root@virt-hv009:~# virsh domjobinfo 6160 Job type: Unbounded Time elapsed: 27518 ms Data processed: 21.506 GiB Data remaining: 29.003 GiB Data total: 50.509 GiB Memory processed: 0.000 B Memory remaining: 520.820 MiB Memory total: 520.820 MiB File processed: 21.506 GiB File remaining: 28.494 GiB File total: 50.000 GiB Constant pages: 0 Normal pages: 0 Normal data: 0.000 B Expected downtime: 300 ms Setup time: 6 ms root@virt-hv009:~# virsh domjobinfo 6160 Job type: Unbounded Time elapsed: 32331 ms Data processed: 25.475 GiB Data remaining: 25.034 GiB Data total: 50.509 GiB Memory processed: 0.000 B Memory remaining: 520.820 MiB Memory total: 520.820 MiB File processed: 25.475 GiB File remaining: 24.525 GiB File total: 50.000 GiB Constant pages: 0 Normal pages: 0 Normal data: 0.000 B Expected downtime: 300 ms Setup time: 6 ms root@virt-hv009:~# virsh domjobinfo 6160 Job type: Unbounded Time elapsed: 49543 ms Data processed: 50.000 GiB Data remaining: 520.820 MiB Data total: 50.509 GiB Memory processed: 0.000 B Memory remaining: 520.820 MiB Memory total: 520.820 MiB File processed: 50.000 GiB File remaining: 0.000 B File total: 50.000 GiB Constant pages: 0 Normal pages: 0 Normal data: 0.000 B Expected downtime: 300 ms Setup time: 6 ms ^^^^ Here after 49 sec, the disk has been process, but the memory hasn't started I skip the logs, but below is the output 5minutes & 56 seconds later, still nothing: root@virt-hv009:~# virsh domjobinfo 6160 Job type: Unbounded Time elapsed: 356919 ms Data processed: 50.000 GiB Data remaining: 520.820 MiB Data total: 50.509 GiB Memory processed: 0.000 B Memory remaining: 520.820 MiB Memory total: 520.820 MiB File processed: 50.000 GiB File remaining: 0.000 B File total: 50.000 GiB Constant pages: 0 Normal pages: 0 Normal data: 0.000 B Expected downtime: 300 ms Setup time: 6 ms Just after it started to move the memory, but 6 minutes later! root@virt-hv009:~# virsh domjobinfo 6160 Job type: Unbounded Time elapsed: 360092 ms Data processed: 50.052 GiB Data remaining: 453.895 MiB Data total: 50.509 GiB Memory processed: 53.224 MiB Memory remaining: 453.895 MiB Memory total: 520.820 MiB Memory bandwidth: 98.172 MiB/s File processed: 50.000 GiB File remaining: 0.000 B File total: 50.000 GiB Constant pages: 3541 Normal pages: 13591 Normal data: 53.090 MiB Expected downtime: 300 ms Setup time: 6 ms root@virt-hv009:~# virsh domjobinfo 6160 error: failed to get domain '6160' error: Domain not found: no domain with matching name '6160' Here the migration is done.

[libvirt-users] unhelpful error message on failed "virsh migrate"

by Andreas Buschmann

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.
