[libvirt-users] qemu 2.7 / libvirt 2.2 / iPXE
by Gregory Gincley
Hi,
I've been having some trouble lately with iPXE booting.
I'm on Arch Linux
vanilla 4.7.4 kernel
qemu 2.7
libvirt 2.2.0
virt-manager 1.4.0
Since the upgrade from qemu 2.6.1 to 2.7 a few days ago. I'm no longer
able to PXE boot using a bridged network connection.
The PXE boot fails using NAT (host only) networking as well, when on a
domain thats started by virt-manager, or through virsh.
My networking setup is a bridge (br1) (shared device) established by
systemd.
Another machine on my LAN acts as a tFTP server and my router (tomato)
directs all machines to it via this dnsmasq directive:
'dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,nas,192.168.9.103'
I have used this setup for years without issue.
All other networking functionality appears to be fine if I boot into
existing domains, skipping PXE rom.
This occurs on domains created with 2.6.1 or with 2.7
Reverting to qemu 2.6.1 package corrects the issue.
When I choose PXE boot, the machine immediately moves to a paused state
(crashed). I only see this:
Booting from ROM...
iPXE (PCI 00:03.0) starting execution
Followed by an immediate crash of qemu. The log simply states emulation
error with some other information I don't understand memory contents
perhaps.
I can use qemu virtual networking and boot via local files served over
tfp: eg:
qemu-system-x86_64 -boot n -net nic,model=virtio,vlan=0 -net
user,vlan=0,tftp=/tmp/tftp,bootfile=/pxelinux.0
I have also tried reverting to the 2.6.1 pxe-virtio.rom file while
using qemu 2.7. Still I get the crash.
So this appears to be some issue with how either libvirt/qemu is
interacting with my network?
I'm not sure what to look at next?
Anyone else have similar issues?
Thanks,
Greg

[libvirt-users] New error: Failed to create chardev
by Iain Hallam
Hi.
I'm running libvirt across a fleet of CentOS 7 desktops to provide VMs for
other operating systems, and they've been running fine for the last year,
through rebuilds, etc.
In the last week, PCs that have been rebuilt no longer start our VMs,
failing with the error:
error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:
2016-09-15T10:15:12.839724Z qemu-kvm: -chardev pty,id=charserial0: Failed
to create chardev
Various sites list remounting /dev/pts to solve this, with the command:
mount -n -t devpts -o remount,mode=0620,gid=5 devpts /dev/pts
After this command, the mount entry for devpts changed:
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts
(rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,seclabel,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts
(rw,relatime,seclabel,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
However, the chardev error is still present.
The VM log in /var/log/libvirt/qemu shows:

Anyone got any ideas? The only configuration change we have introduced in

those boxes. SELinux is set to Permissive.
Thanks,
Iain Hallam.

[libvirt-users] Help With Nested Virtualization
by Brandon Golway
(Copied from my post on the Arch Linux forums:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1650650#p1650650)
I have a FreeNAS 10 KVM setup via libvirt on my Arch server and I'd like to
be able to test out the virtualization features in the nightly FreeNAS 10
builds but the problem is that I can't seem to get VT-x to correctly pass
through to the guest. I have followed the [u][url=
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KVM#Nested_virtualization]Nested
Virtualization[/url][/u] section of the KVM wiki and I'm sure it's
supported and enabled.
Here's proof
[code] [bran@nas ~]$ sudo systool -m kvm_intel -v | grep nested
nested = "Y"
[bran@nas ~]$ lscpu|grep Virtualization
Virtualization: VT-x[/code]
So the host/hardware isn't the problem, I believe the problem lies within
libvirt.
RedHat says to use [b]copy host CPU configuration[/b] or
[b]host-passthrough[/b], with the latter being preferred. If I use the
former I get the [b]CMT not supported[/b] error, but if I type in
[b]host-passthrough[/b] which according to [u][url=
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214539]this post[/url][/u]
should work. When I set [b]host-passthrough[/b] it allows the system to
boot up, but when I try to start a guest FreeNAS gives me the error that
VT-x instructions aren't available, I have no idea how to check them either
since the [b]proc[/b] pseudo-filesystem doesn't exist in BSD. I know for a
fact that this isn't a problem with the FreeNAS builds because I've been
testing them out for months on my Windows 10 desktop via VMware and nested
virtualization works without issue, so it must be an issue with
KVM/libvirt.
Can someone clue me in on what the issue is?

[libvirt-users] Hiding hypervisor cpuid bit in Qemu
by Miller, Cody
Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me with an issue I'm having with libvirt 1.3.3 and qemu 2.5.1.
I'm trying to prevent qemu from exposing the 'hypervisor' cupid feature to my VMs. When running qemu directly I can use "-cpu ...,-hypervisor"; which works as expected. Using libvirt, I add "<feature policy='disable' name='hypervisor'/>" to the cpu section of the VMs xml. This however, does not prevent exposing the bit.
Any help would be appreciated.

[libvirt-users] attaching storage pool error
by Johan Kragsterman
Hi!
System centos7, system default libvirt version.
I've succeeded to create an npiv storage pool, which I could start without problems. Though I couldn't attach it to the vm, it throwed errors when trying. I want to boot from it, so I need it working from start. I read one of Daniel Berrange's old(2010) blogs about attaching an iScsi pool, and draw my conclusions from that. Other documentation I haven't found. Someone can point me to a more recent documentation of this?
Are there other mailing list in the libvirt/KVM communities that are more focused on storage? I'd like to know about these, if so, since I'm a storage guy, and fiddle around a lot with these things...
There are quite a few things I'd like to know about, that I doubt this list cares about, or have knowledge about, like multipath devices/pools, virtio-scsi in combination with npiv-storagepool, etc.
So anyone that can point me further....?

[libvirt-users] My Windows7 VM stopped at loading screen.
by Hyungwan Seo
Hello.
I've been tesing VGA passthrough using libvirt.
However, My *Windows7*(64bit) Virtual Machine stopped at loading screen as
soon as I installed graphic driver(*AMD Radeon HD 7750*) and then restarted
the VM.
How Can I use VGA passthrough technology in my *Windows7* VM?
I attached my testing information(HW, system environment and settings, qemu
log and so on..)

[libvirt-users] internal snapshot question
by vrms＠netcologne.de
I take an internal snapshot (VM is 'shutdown' when taking it) of a qcow2 image like this:
$ qemu-img snapshot -c sn1 [my_image].qcow2
I see that snapshot when asking for:
$ qemu-img info [my_image].qcow
but do NOT see it with:
$ virsh domblklist [my_domain]
is that how it is meant to be?

[libvirt-users] Monitor guest vm memory usage
by journey journey
Hi All
Is there a tool to monitor qemu-kvm guest vm memory usage ( free in guest vm)?Nowadays, I have already researched some methods:1. qemu-kvm process memory usage. Since qemu-kvm process memory usage always increases as time goes on, it will not reflect the memory usage in vm.2. virsh dommemstat Just as method 1.3. virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp [domain name] "info mem" (1) when guest vm memory size less than 4Gbytes, it will output something like this: 7f882000-7f883000 00001000 urw 7fbf8000-7fbf9000 00001000 urw 88000000-88001000 00001000 -rw 88002000-88003000 00001000 urw 88004000-88005000 00001000 urw c9000000-c9001000 00001000 urw e8bfe000-e8bff000 00001000 urw ea000000-ea001000 00001000 urw ffbfc000-ffbfd000 00001000 -rw ffbfe000-ffbff000 00001000 urw it shows pde info of PG_PRESENT_MASK, maybe has some relation with guest vm memory usage. (2) when guest vm memory size larger than 4Gbytes, it will output noting.
Please help!!
