[libvirt-users] [virtual interface] detach interface during boot succeed with no changes
by Yalan Zhang
Hi guys,
when I detach an interface from vm during boot (vm boot not finished), it
always fail. I'm not sure if there is an existing bug. I have
confirmed with someone that for disk, there is similar behavior, if
this is also acceptable?
# virsh destroy rhel7.2; virsh start rhel7.2 ;sleep 2; virsh
detach-interface rhel7.2 network 52:54:00:98:c4:a0; sleep 2; virsh
dumpxml rhel7.2 |grep /interface -B9
Domain rhel7.2 destroyed
Domain rhel7.2 started
Interface detached successfully
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06'
function='0x0'/>
</controller>
<interface type='network'>
<mac address='52:54:00:98:c4:a0'/>
<source network='default' bridge='virbr0'/>
<target dev='vnet0'/>
<model type='rtl8139'/>
<alias name='net0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
When I detach after the vm boot, expand the sleep time to 10, it will succeed.
# virsh destroy rhel7.2; virsh start rhel7.2 ;sleep 10; virsh
detach-interface rhel7.2 network 52:54:00:98:c4:a0; sleep 2; virsh
dumpxml rhel7.2 |grep /interface -B9
Domain rhel7.2 destroyed
Domain rhel7.2 started
Interface detached successfully

[libvirt-users] ceph rbd pool and libvirt manageability (virt-install)
by Jelle de Jong
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello everybody,
I created a rbd pool and activated it, but I can't seem to create
volumes in it with virsh or virt-install?
# virsh pool-dumpxml myrbdpool

I ended using virsh edit ceph-test.powercraft.nl and making creating

I use virt-install a lot to define, import and undefine domains, how
can I use virt-install to manage my rdb disks?
Kind regards,

[libvirt-users] virRandomBits - not very random
by Brian Rak
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.

[libvirt-users] net interface direct - no IP communication between guest & host
by lejeczek
hi everyone
I wonder why, when I attach an interface like this:
virsh # attach-interface --domain win10Ent --type direct
--source nm-team --config --persistent --model virtio
host cannot ip ping the guest and vice versa, yet guest can
ping other nodes(outside of its host, connected via phys net
via a switch)
Would you know?
I thought maybe routing on the host, so I did:
$ route add -host 192.168.2.222 dev nm-team
but to no avail.
I wonder if it's lower layer, arp kernel bits?
thanks, L.

[libvirt-users] libvirt/dnsmasq is not adhering to static DHCP assignments
by Dagmawi Biru
Given the following network configuration:
===========
<network>
<name>osc_mgmt</name>
<uuid>d93fe709-14ae-4a0e-8989-aeaa8c76c513</uuid>
<forward mode='route'/>

<range start='192.168.80.1' end='192.168.80.200'/>

<host mac='52:54:00:95:ca:bd' name='openstack-glance-00'
ip='192.168.80.5'/>
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
When attempting to bring up the relevant interface in the virtual machine,
I get an incorrect IP address assigned, different from the one I statically
set up per the XML above. As you can see, the device with MAC
'52:54:00:e2:4b:25' should really be getting 192.168.80.2, but what happens
when we bring this interface up is this:

bound to 192.168.80.27 -- renewal in 1407 seconds.
Some additional info about the VM and network it's attached to
===========
[root@dragon dnsmasq]# virsh domiflist openstack-database-00
Interface Type Source Model MAC
-------------------------------------------------------
vnet12 bridge br20 virtio 52:54:00:6c:ce:b9
vnet13 network VM_MGMT rtl8139 52:54:00:7d:ca:87

Persistent: yes

===========
What's strange is that the first VM seems to work correctly and gets an
assigned address of 192.168.80.1, but for some reason the others don't. Any
ideas?

Re: [libvirt-users] Need to increase the rx and tx buffer size of my interface
by Ashish Kurian
Hi Yalan,
In the previous email you mentioned "tx_queue_size='512' will not work in
the guest with direct type interface, in fact, no matter what you set, it
will not work and guest will get the default '256'. "
So if I am using macvtap for my interfaces, then the device type will
always be direct type. Does it mean that there is no way I can increase the
buffer size with the macvtap interfaces?
Best Regards,
Ashish Kurian

[libvirt-users] question about how to set rng device on vm
by Yalan Zhang
Hi Amos,
I'm a libvirt QE, and I can not understand the setting on libvirt.org for
rng device.
Could you please help to explain a little?
(The xml in https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsRng)
<devices>
<rng model='virtio'>
<rate period="2000" bytes="1234"/>
<backend model='random'>/dev/random</backend>
<!-- OR -->
<backend model='egd' type='udp'>
*<source mode='bind' service='1234'/>*
* <source mode='connect' host='1.2.3.4' service='1234'/>*
</backend>
</rng>
</devices>
How did it work with source mode='bind' and source mode='connect' together?
which process on guest or host will act as server part, which for client
part?
One detail example:
start a vm with below device, and no egd running on host:
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='egd' type='udp'>
<source mode='bind' service='1234'/>
<source mode='connect' host='127.0.0.1' service='1234'/>
</backend>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09'
function='0x0'/>
</rng>
qemu command line:
-chardev udp,id=charrng0,host=127.0.0.1,port=1234,localaddr=,localport=1234
-object rng-egd,id=objrng0,chardev=charrng0 -device
virtio-rng-pci,rng=objrng0,id=rng0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9
In my understanding the purpose of the rng device on guest is to provide
guest a hardware RNG device /dev/hwrng which obtain seeds from the host.
The source can be /dev/random on host, then the xml will be:
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='random'>/dev/random</backend>
</rng>
can be hardware on host:
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='random'>/dev/hwrng</backend>
</rng>
can be edg daemon running on host:
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='egd' type='tcp'>
<source mode='connect' host='127.0.0.1' service='1234'/>
</backend>
</rng>
(on host, there should be a egd daemon running on tcp 127.0.0.1:1234
# egd.pl --debug-client --nofork localhost:1234)
Thank you very much and look forward for your response!
