[libvirt-users] libvirt and virt-manager - Unable to complete install: 'internal error: unsupported input bus usb'
by Eduardo Lúcio Amorim Costa
I'm trying create a virtual machine using Xen as hypervisor and
virt-manager (libvirt) as the management module. When trying to create the
virtual machine I am getting the following error:
"
Unable to complete install: 'internal error: unsupported input bus usb'
"
ERROR DETAILS:
Unable to complete install: 'internal error: unsupported input bus usb'
Traceback (most recent call last):

NOTE I: The deploy process follows the instructions here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwkmDM-Gpzc and here
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart .
NOTE II: Xen Hypervisor uses a CentOS 7 as "domu".

[libvirt-users] Guest startup delay options ignored
by Inception Hosting
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
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
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?

Hello,
Could you please add the OpenVM Dashboard to the list of applications that use libvirt. Below is the URL and description.
Also, to all the developers who put libvirt-php together...THANK YOU!
Thanks,

I think performance is not just about your xml, the host system will have a bigger impact. Maybe you can see this link:

[libvirt-users] Mount URL as cdrom/iso KVM/QEMU
by Inception Hosting
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
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)
