RBD volume not made available to Xen virtual guest on openSUSE 15.2 (with libvirt 6.0.0)
by Marcel Juffermans
Hi there,
Since upgrading to openSUSE 15.2 (which includes libvirt 6.0.0) the
virtual guests don't get their RBD disks made available to them. On
openSUSE 15.1 (which includes libvirt 5.1.0) that worked fine. The XML
is as follows:
<domain type='xen' id='7'>
<name>mytwotel-a</name>

</domain>
The virtual guest starts, but then sits in the Grub 2 boot prompt
because the disk is not available. The qemu log shows:
qemu-system-i386: failed to create 'qdisk' device '51712': failed to

16267 close(60) = 0
...
Note that the latter opens "/usr/lib64/qemu/block-rbd.so". That library
*does* exist on openSUSE 15.2 but it doesn't seem to be used.
I've tried to update libvirt to a newer version using the Open Build
Service repos, but then ran into so many conflicting versions that I
gave up.
At this point I'm stuck. Does anyone have an idea I can try?
Many thanks,
Marcel

Understanding 'State change failed: (-2) Need access to UpToDate data'
by Paul O'Rorke
Hi list,
I had to relocate my third node in a classic DRBD 8.4 three node set up
to a new host. I am having difficulty making the stacked resource the
primary. I am following this guide:
https://www.linbit.com/drbd-user-guide/users-guide-drbd-8-4/#s-three-nodes
Specifically this:
>
>
> 5.18.3. Enabling stacked resources
>
> To enable a stacked resource, you first enable its lower-level
> resource and promote it:
>
> drbdadm up r0
> drbdadm primary r0
>
> As with unstacked resources, you must create DRBD meta data on the
> stacked resources. This is done using the following command:
>
> # drbdadm create-md --stacked r0-U
>
> Then, you may enable the stacked resource:
>
> # drbdadm up --stacked r0-U
> # drbdadm primary --stacked r0-U
>
> After this, you may bring up the resource on the backup node, enabling
> three-node replication:
>
> # drbdadm create-md r0-U
> # drbdadm up r0-U
It seems all is good right up to the last command:
:~# drbdadm primary informer
:~# drbdadm create-md --stacked informer-U
You want me to create a v08 style flexible-size internal meta data block.
There appears to be a v08 flexible-size internal meta data block
already in place on /dev/drbd11 at byte offset 429483581440
Do you really want to overwrite the existing meta-data?
[need to type 'yes' to confirm] yes
md_offset 429483581440
al_offset 429483548672
bm_offset 429470441472
Found some data
==> This might destroy existing data! <==
Do you want to proceed?
[need to type 'yes' to confirm] yes
initializing activity log
NOT initializing bitmap
Writing meta data...
New drbd meta data block successfully created.
:~# drbdadm up --stacked informer-U
:~# drbdadm primary --stacked informer-U
110: State change failed: (-2) Need access to UpToDate data
Command 'drbdsetup-84 primary 110' terminated with exit code 17
drbd11 is the device for the lower level resource 'informer', drbd110
the device for stacked resource 'informer-U'. Replication between hosts
'Alice' and 'Bob' (not the real host names but corresponding to the
names used int the documentation) is functional. I am performing the
above commands on 'bob'.
I do not understand why it is complaining it needs UpToDate data in that
last command if 'informer-U' is 'stacked-on-top-of informer' and was
just created.
the .res file(s) look like this:
> resource informer {
> net {
> protocol C;
> }
>
> device /dev/drbd11;
> meta-disk internal;
>
> on trk-kvm-01 {
> address 10.10.1.125:7789;

> address 10.10.1.126:7789;
> disk /dev/trk-kvm-02-vg/informer;
> }

> net {
> protocol A;
> }
>
> stacked-on-top-of informer {
> device /dev/drbd110;
> address 10.10.2.126:7789;

> device /dev/drbd110;
> disk /dev/ubuntu-vg/informer;
> address 10.10.2.127:7789;
> meta-disk internal;
> }
> }
Any suggestions on what I am missing in this picture?
Please and thanks.

Why "discard":"unmap" is the default option for disks

I find "discard":"unmap" is defaultly enabled in qemu cmdline(libvirt

possible bug in efi detection for guest
by daggs
Greetings All,
following a suggestion I got here on how to properly boot uefi-q35 guest, I found an weird config in the xml.
this is what I see when I run virsh edit streamer-vm-q35:
<os firmware='efi'>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-5.0'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
when I run virsh dumpxml streamer-vm-q35, I get this:
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-5.0'>hvm</type>
<loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/edk2-x86_64-secure-code.fd</loader>
<nvram template='/usr/share/qemu/edk2-i386-vars.fd'>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/streamer-vm-q35_VARS.fd</nvram>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
question is, why the nvram template is /usr/share/qemu/edk2-i386-vars.fd and not /usr/share/qemu/edk2-x86_64-code.fd (file exists) as the system is x64?
Thanks

scsi passthrough differs between guests
by daggs
Greetings,
I have two machines running the same distro, both running qemu 5.1.0, one runs libvirt 6.7.0, the other 6.8.0.
I've decided to test the viability of passing through my sata cdrom into a vm, so I went to the libvirt docs, read a bit and added the following to a debian10 uefi vm running on libvirt 6.8.0:
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
</controller>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='no'>
<source>
<adapter name='scsi_host11'/>
<address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</source>
<readonly/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</hostdev>
I've booted the vm and saw the cdrom in the vm, eject worked and so did mount.
I've decided to move it to another machine running libvirt 6.7.0, I've verified the cdrom is visible on the new system, seE:
# lsscsi
[0:0:0:0] cd/dvd HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSD1 LW00 /dev/sr0
I've inserted the same xml into another vm running libreelec uefi but changed the host from 11 to 0, it looks like this:
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'>
<alias name='scsi0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/>
</controller>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='no'>
<source>
<adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
<address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</source>
<readonly/>
<alias name='hostdev0'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</hostdev>
but when I boot the vm, I see no cdrom, lspci shows this:
03:00.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc. Virtio block device (rev 01)
07:01.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc. Virtio SCSI
as there is no lsscsi or /proc/scsi/scsi I cannot see other possible scsis.
I know for a fact that libreelec supports scsi/sata cdroms as it is a frequent he for streamers.
I'm baffled about the two scsi controllers I see and why I cannot see the device.
is there a known issue in 6.7.0 with scsi pass-trough?

libivrt client using python on windows
by Talha Jawaid
Hello,
I want to run a python script on Windows to remotely control libvirt running on a (Linux) server. This was all working fine while prototyping stuff on the server but now I am having some trouble installing the python module on windows ("pip install" fails). I struggled through getting it to COMPILE but then ran into linking issues. Seems like the actual libvirt library is needed to run (and even compile) on Windows? Is there a prebuilt package somewhere that I could get? Do I really need the whole libvirt library or is there a client only package? How could I go about accomplishing my goal here?
Thanks,

unable to find any master var store for loader error

Greetings,
I have the following machine: https://dpaste.com/5BPA3F77F which I'm trying to boot in uefi.

error: operation failed: unable to find any master var store for loader: /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd
libvirt version is 6.7.0 and qemu version is 5.1.0
any idea how to fix this issue?

I sent privately the requested xml file to 'Peter Krempa
<pkrempa(a)redhat.com>'.
Peter Krempa 's privately answered me back suggesting to add the
following in the domain xml file:
<bios useserial='yes'/> under <os>
such as ...
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-3.1'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
<bios useserial='yes'/>
</os>
This does not help at all and still give the output sent previously.

Re: Attached disk blockpull
by Peter Krempa
This is a libvirt question, so asking it on the qemu-block might not get
you an answer that quick, ... or ever if I didn't notice your other
question also addressed incorrectly.

Could you please elaborate on the exact steps? specifically the
arguments for qemu-img create.
My feeling is that you didn't specify the backing image format (-F) when
creating the overlay, but it's hard to tell from this very sparse
question.

virsh attach-disk is a syntax-sugar wrapper which generates the XML
document which is in fact used to attach disk. You can use virsh
attach-disk --print-xml to see what would be used.

using virsh attach-device allows you to pass in a whole <devices>
subelement such as <disk> with any configuration you are able to specify
when defining the XML.
The virsh attach-disk is limited to just "basic" config options.
