[libvirt-users] error : virHashForEach:597 : Hash operation not allowed during iteration
by Vincent Bernat 06 Apr '18

Hey! On many of our servers, we often have the following error: error : virHashForEach:597 : Hash operation not allowed during iteration When querying the list of domains, this means libvirt will silently return 0 domain (most uses of virHashForEach don't handle the return code). We are using a hook, but the hook doesn't query libvirt back, so it should be safe from this point of view. However, we have several sources querying libvirt at regular interval (once every 5 seconds from two different sources). I am unable to reproduce the problem with just running "virsh list" in parallel. We are using libvirt 3.6. Is it an expected constraint to not be able to reliably query libvirt from several sources? Have fixes for this problem been pushed since 3.6? -- A kind of Batman of contemporary letters. -- Philip Larkin on Anthony Burgess

[libvirt-users] Adjusting vram for windows/photoshop
by Alex 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hi, I have a fedora27 system with a win10 guest trying to use photoshop 2015. I've adjusted the vram parameter for the guest to 512M with QXL, but photoshop still reports "3D features and some filters require 512MB vRAM and photoshop has detected less than that on your system." What is the proper way to adjust the vram value to provide at least 512MB vram? I've included my xml config below. I'm connecting to the guest using VNC. I believe I have the server side configured properly for spice, but do I need a windows client to use it to connect to the guest? <domain type='kvm'> <name>win10</name> <uuid>337f9410-3286-4ef5-a3e8-8271e38ea1e5</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>6320128</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>6320128</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.4'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> </hyperv> <vmport state='off'/> </features> <cpu mode='host-model' check='partial'> <model fallback='allow'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <pm> <suspend-to-mem enabled='no'/> <suspend-to-disk enabled='no'/> </pm> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/win10.qcow2'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='scsi' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:52:6b:61'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='rtl8139'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <channel type='spicevmc'> <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes'> <listen type='address'/> <image compression='off'/> </graphics> <sound model='ich6'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </sound> <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='524288' heads='1' primary='yes'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='2'/> </redirdev> <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='3'/> </redirdev> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain>

[libvirt-users] Virsh Domain - Serial port; what does the attribute “port” of the serial node's child “target” do?
by thilo.cestonaro＠ts.fujitsu.com 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hi all! I want to assign a real serialport to my kvm virtual machine via virsh. When I add the following XML snippet to the domain xml, it gets successfully attached but not as I expected it to happen. <serial type='dev'> <source path='/dev/ttyS3'/> <target type='isa-serial' port='2'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> <alias name='ua-Serial3'/> </serial> I expected, that given the target port 2 it will be connected to /dev/ttyS2 in the VM. But the target port gets totaly ignored and it will always be connected to ttyS0. Unless I define another serial before this, then it is connected to ttyS1, which is just the order of the serial devices in the xml then, still ignoring the target port. So, do I understand the target port absolutely wrong or is this a bug virsh? Cheers Thilo

[libvirt-users] IP pool x bridge
by Thiago Oliveira 02 Apr '18

02 Apr '18

Hi there! I have a question about IP Pool. I have one physical server with a ip pool with /28 and I would like to use those IP's into the guests. I have tried the below: 1-) Use bridge on physical server, create bridge in network configurations and configure the IP into the guest. Ok, works, but someone can change the IP, for example, change from 104.34.45.23/28 to 104.34.45.24/28. This is not good. How can I prevent this change by the user using bridge mode? 2-) Create a subnet pool with /29, but the system returns the error because the pool is at the same subnet of the bridge. Thanks. Thiago

[libvirt-users] Possible to edit/apply nwfilter at runtime?
by Andre Goree 02 Apr '18

02 Apr '18

I'm trying to determine if it's possible to edit/attach/apply nwfilter rules at runtime? I.e., after a VM is already running, can I apply a nwfilter to the VM and have it work without rebooting the machine? Thus far, I've not come across a way to do so, but I thought I'd ask here before I chase my tail around Google.
