[libvirt-users] [virtual interface] detach interface during boot succeed with no changes
by Yalan Zhang 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

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 ------- Best Regards, Yalan Zhang IRC: yalzhang Internal phone: 8389413

[libvirt-users] Question about disabling UFO on guest
by Bao Nguyen 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Hello everyone, I would like to ask a question regarding to disable UFO of virtio vNIC in my guest. I have read the document at https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html *host* The csum, gso, tso4, tso6, ecn and ufo attributes with possible values on and off can be used to turn off host offloading options. By default, the supported offloads are enabled by QEMU. *Since 1.2.9 (QEMU only)* The mrg_rxbuf attribute can be used to control mergeable rx buffers on the host side. Possible values are on (default) and off. *Since 1.2.13 (QEMU only)* *guest* The csum, tso4, tso6, ecn and ufo attributes with possible values on and off can be used to turn off guest offloading options. By default, the supported offloads are enabl ed by QEMU. *Since 1.2.9 (QEMU only)* Then I disabled UFO on my vNIC on guest as the following configuration <devices> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> <target dev='vnet1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <driver name='vhost' txmode='iothread' ioeventfd='on' event_idx='off' queues='5' rx_queue_size='256' tx_queue_size='256'> *<host gso='off' ufo='off' />* *<guest ufo='off'/>* </driver> </interface> </devices> Then I reboot my node to get the change effect and it works. However, can I disable the UFO without touching the host OS? or it always has to disable on both host and guest like that? Thanks, Brs, Natsu

[libvirt-users] Libvirt access control drivers
by Anastasiya Ruzhanskaya 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

Hello! According to the documentation access control drivers are not in really "good condition". There is a polkit, but it can distinguish users only according the pid. However, I have met some articles about more fine-grained control and about selinux drivers for libvirt? So, what is the status now? Should I implement something by myself if I want access based on login, are their instructions how to write these drivers or there is smth already?

[libvirt-users] live migration via unix socket
by David Vossel 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hey, Over in KubeVirt we're investigating a use case where we'd like to perform a live migration within a network namespace that does not provide libvirtd with network access. In this scenario we would like to perform a live migration by proxying the migration through a unix socket to a process in another network namespace that does have network access. That external process would live on every node in the cluster and know how to correctly route connections between libvirtds. virsh example of an attempted migration via unix socket. virsh migrate --copy-storage-all --p2p --live --xml domain.xml my-vm qemu+unix:///system?socket=destination-host-proxy-sock In this example, the src libvirtd is able to establish a connection to the destination libvirtd via the unix socket proxy. However, the migration-uri appears to require either tcp or rdma network connection. If I force the migration-uri to be a unix socket, I receive an error [1] indicating that qemu+unix is not a valid transport. Technically with qemu+kvm I believe what we're attempting should be possible (even though it is inefficient). Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a way to achieve this migration via unix socket functionality this using Libvirt? Also, is there a reason why the migration uri is limited to tcp/rdma Thanks! - David [1] https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/blob/master/src/qemu/qemu_migration.c#L2…

[libvirt-users] Snapshot overlay-file deletion
by Gionatan Danti 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hi list, issuing the command "virsh blockcommit --delete --pivot" (on a previously created external snapshot/overlay) returns an error regarding an unsupported flag warning stating "error: unsupported flags (0x2)". I need to manually "rm" the affected file after the blockcommit. A similar issue was reported many years ago here [1]. Am I missing something, or is the "--delete" flag not supported? Thanks.

[libvirt-users] Guest startup delay options ignored
by Inception Hosting 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hi Folks, been searching around for a while on this and see similar issues reported going back a number of years without solution. The START_DELAY=(number) seems to be completely ignored in /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests which is unfortunate as it means everything starts at once without control. This is fine on NVMe based servers however on the older spinning disks the I/O is creating significant issues. Is anyone aware of any other methods to achieve a start up delay for guest virtual machines on boot? Thanks. Anthony.

[libvirt-users] Efficacy of jitterentropy RNG on qemu-kvm Guests
by procmem 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hello. I'm a distro maintainer and was wondering about the efficacy of entropy daemons like haveged and jitterentropyd in qemu-kvm. One of the authors of haveged [0] pointed out if the hardware cycles counter is emulated and deterministic, and thus predictible. He therefore does not recommend using HAVEGE on those systems. Is this the case with KVM's counters? PS. I will be setting VM CPU settings to host-passthrough. Bonus: Also if anyone knows the answer to this question about Xen please let me know because its the other main platform we support and they don't have the luxury of virtio-rng in PVH mode. Thanks.

[libvirt-users] qemu guest agent
by Cobin Bluth 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hello Libvirt-Users! I have a quick question about the qemu guest agent. Is it possible to use the guest agent from inside the guest in order to query the name of its own domain? For example, I use a base-image.qcow2 with a baked-in hostname. I would like to include a little tool in my guest image to change the hostname to the name of the domain. Is this sort of thing possible? -Cobin

[libvirt-users] Mount URL as cdrom/iso KVM/QEMU
by Inception Hosting 09 Aug '18

Hi Folks, According to the examples in http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks it should be possible to mount an iso /url as a cdrom, the example given is: </disk> <disk type='network' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol="http" name="url_path"> <host name="hostname" port="80"/> </source> <target dev='hde' bus='ide' tray='open'/> <readonly/> </disk> I am unable to get this to work at all and wondered if I am just missing something obvious: Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0003) Actual XML in use snippet: <disk type='network' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol="http" name="/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-9.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso"> <host name="mirror.bytemark.co.uk" port="80"/> </source> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide' tray='open'/> <readonly/> </disk> libvirtd (libvirt) 3.9.0 QEMU emulator version 2.10.0 Is anyone able to offer any assistance or tips? I have tried putting the complete path including fqdn in the url_path as well, with and without http:// Many Thanks. Anthony.

[libvirt-users] Windows Guest I/O performance issues (already using virtio)
by Matt Schumacher 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

List, I have a number of Windows 2016 servers I am deploying, but I’m having some I/O performance issues. I have done all of the obvious things like virtio drivers, but am finding there is more performance to be found with hyper-v extensions, how we virtualize the hardware clock, and iothreads. I’m using ZVOLs to back the VM, and I’m using 4k block sizes, which seems to offer the best 4k random read/write performance (mail and database workloads), but maybe I’m missing something at this layer too. Questions: 1. Does my VM config look reasonable for the latest releases of windows? Are there features I should be using that will help performance? 2. Why does the hypervclock timer make so much performance difference in windows VMs? 3. Does my virtualized CPU model make sense? I defined Haswell-noTSX-IBRS and libvirt added the features. 4. Which kernel branch offers the best stability and performance? 5. Are there performance gains in using UEFI booting the windows guest and defining “<blockio logical_block_size='4096' physical_block_size='4096'/>”? Perhaps better block size consistency through to the zvol? Here is my setup: 48 core Haswell CPU 192G Ram Linux 4.14.61 or 4.9.114 (testing both) ZFS file system on optane SSD drive or ZFS file system on dumb HBA with 8 spindles of 15k disks (testing both) 4k block size zvol for virtual machines 32G arc cache Here is my VM: <domain type='kvm' id='12'> <name>testvm</name> <memory unit='KiB'>33554432</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>33554432</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>12</vcpu> <iothreads>1</iothreads> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.12'>hvm</type> <boot dev='cdrom'/> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> <vpindex state='on'/> <runtime state='on'/> <synic state='on'/> <reset state='on'/> <vendor_id state='on' value='KVM Hv'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'> <model fallback='forbid'>Haswell-noTSX-IBRS</model> <topology sockets='1' cores='6' threads='2'/> <feature policy='require' name='vme'/> <feature policy='require' name='f16c'/> <feature policy='require' name='rdrand'/> <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/> <feature policy='require' name='arat'/> <feature policy='disable' name='spec-ctrl'/> <feature policy='require' name='xsaveopt'/> <feature policy='require' name='abm'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='yes'/> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native' ioeventfd='on' iothread='1'/> <source dev='/dev/zvol/datastore/vm/testvm-vda'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-1-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <alias name='ide'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='piix3-uhci'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='lan'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-12-testvm/org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='connected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input1'/> </input> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'> <alias name='input2'/> </input> <graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='no' listen='0.0.0.0'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='none'/> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>+0:+100</label> <imagelabel>+0:+100</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain>

[libvirt-users] Trouble passing PCI device in isolated IOMMU group
by Quincy Wofford 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

I'm attempting PCI-passthrough from host to guest on an HP ProLiant 380P, which has an outdated BIOS (2014), but it does support VT-d. I'm running CentOS 7, kernel 3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64. I have an Intel 82580 NIC installed with 4 ports. Each of these ports is in its own IOMMU group (I enabled SR-IOV at the BIOS, which might be the reason they show up separately) After detaching and adding a 'hostdev' device with the appropriate pci address, I attempt to start my VM. I get " failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted". As recommended here ( http://vfio.blogspot.com/2014/08/vfiovga-faq.html) I parsed dmesg in an attempt to find: ------------------- No interrupt remapping support. Use the module param "allow_unsafe_interrupts" to enable VFIO IOMMU support on this platform ------------------- ...but nothing similar exists in my logs. Since this device is showing up in its own IOMMU group, I assume ACS override won't get me any further. In any case, it is not an option for me to leave ACS override on. I can turn it on for testing, the server is not currently in production. Any idea why this could be failing?

[libvirt-users] How to set the MTU size of VM interface

[libvirt-users] Adding a VLAN tag to a libvirt SR-IOV VF network using the "virsh net-update" command
by Yegappan Lakshmanan 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi all, How do you add a VLAN tag to a libvirt SR-IOV VF network usingthe "virsh net-update" command? I couldn't find the section to passto the "virsh net-update" command to add the VLAN tag. I have the following libvirt network defined for a SR-IOV VF: <network> <name>GE0-0-SRIOV-1</name> <uuid>7bc67166-c78e-4bcf-89ee-377dd9086631</uuid> <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x10' function='0x0'/> </forward></network> I am trying to add VLAN 100 to this network. If I use the following command toadd a VLAN tag to this network: virsh net-update GE0-0-SRIOV-1 modify bridge --xml "<vlan trunk='no'><tag id='100'/></vlan>" It fails as the section "bridge" doesn't support adding a VLAN tag. I have triedother section values like domain and all of them fail. I am able to add the VLAN to the portgroup section, but then the VLAN configurationis not propagated to the underlying physical PF interface. If I manually add the VLAN configuration using the "virsh net-edit" command andthen connect a VM to this network, then the VLAN information is correctly propagatedto the underlying physical NIC device. I need a way to automate this configuration. Any pointers? Thanks,Yegappan

[libvirt-users] ecryptfs (from centosplus) and libvirt lxc quest on it - quest upon start shoots host in the head
by lejeczek 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

hi guys I have a lxc guest on Dell's R815(AMD Opterons) which I just moved to an ecryptfs mounted folder(using centosplus' kernel C7.5) Copying data to that folder seems to work just fine, but I as soon as I start the quest, the host gets shot in the head almost immediately, hard reboot, no dump. I also have another, virtually identical guest but on Intel platform and that one does not do anything but runs okey. Any of you guys has experience such gross abnormality? (maybe a heads-up to redhat if cryptfs was to be ever added) many thanks, L.
