Read-only iscsi disk? Or hot-plug?
by Paul van der Vlis 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Hello, I have an iSCSI disk with a backup. I want to use that backup on another machine to test putting back data. What I use now is this: ---- <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='directsync' io='native'/> <source dev='/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36e843b6afdddf65dc4e9d4dc2dab66de'/> <target dev='vdh' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0c' function='0x0'/> </disk> ---- Is it possible to do this read-only? What I also could do is to hot-unplug the disk at the production machine, and then hot-plug it at the test-machine. But the machines are Windows, and I don't know Windows well. With regards, Paul -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer Groningen https://www.vandervlis.nl/

Error With Xeon 2678 in virt-manager
by John Bajer 06 Sep '20

06 Sep '20

Hello, I have to select Ivy Bridge since I have Xeon 2678 but I cannot find it on the drop-down menu in virt-manager. When I select copy host cpu configuration it changes it to EPYC as soon as I click the start button. I have Manjaro on my computer. How to solve this problem? Thanks! *John Washington Bajer* *El Ciclista de la Triste Figura*

printing the qemu final execution line from an xml
by daggs 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Greetings, I have a qemu line which I want to convert ot libvirt xml but as domxml-from-native is deprecated, I want to try it the other way around. e.g. write an libvirt xml and dump the final qemu line without running it. is there a way to do so? Thanks, Dagg.

usb-hdmi-cec-adapter usb pass-through experiences
by daggs 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Greetings, I need to get a device like this: https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/104/usb-hdmi-cec-adapter I have usb pass-through experiences with some usb devices such as dtv, wireless network, thumbsticks and wireless keyboards. I know there isn't much to be done in usb pass-through but I did had issues with the former two, now I'm using a wireless network without and issues. I wanted to know if someone has tried using this device as pass-through into a vm and can share his thoughts. Thanks, Dagg.

bridge + SR-IOV guests with KVM
by Philipp Rosenberger 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi, I managed to get SR-IOV with an Intel I350 NIC to work.For this I followed the documentation on this page: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Assignment_from_a_pool_of_SRIOV_VF… But as I have more VMs then VF on the NIC I also have a bridge wich serves the other guests. As I run Debian Buster as host I followed the documentation here: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Debian.2FUbuntu_Bridging If I use only the SRIOV everything works as expected. All guests can be reached for the network and the guests and host can reach each other. The same goes for a sole bridged environment. As I dived into the issue I found an answer form the intel community: https://community.intel.com/t5/Ethernet-Products/82599-VF-to-Linux-host-bri… It says I need to add the "VF mac addresses and eth0 mac address to bridge forwarding database". I have done this with the following command: bridge fdb add 52:54:00:3c:1c:e6 dev eth_lan0 The mac address is from my VM which is on the bridge. And the eth_lan0 interface is the physical interface of my bridge and also the PF of my I350 NIC. This seems to work. But doing this manually is annoying and a bit of a hassle when creating new VMs on the bridge. I there a way to let libvirt do this work? Best regards Philipp PS: This presentation shows it pretty well on page 33: https://events.static.linuxfound.org/sites/events/files/slides/LinuxConJapa…

Meson build
by Toolybird 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Hi, Just a heads up on my experiences with the new build system. Arch Linux meson-0.55.1 Overall, it looks good, so well done! Just a couple of minor things I noted: 1. Arch uses a meson wrapper script (arch-meson) that sets: --buildtype plain This seems to trigger a bug in meson that results in copious bogus compiler warnings: cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-y2k’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-y2k] cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-extra-args’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-extra-args] cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-zero-length’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-zero-length] cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-contains-nul’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-contains-nul] cc1: warning: ‘-Wformat-security’ ignored without ‘-Wformat’ [-Wformat-security] which of course breaks -Werror builds. I can easily work around it by setting `-D git_werror=disabled' or even better still: CFLAGS+=" -Wall" arch-meson... Maybe this github issue is related?: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/7399 2. Arch currently builds libvirt with support for ZFS. Seeing as ZFS is not in the distro proper, a simple Autoconf tweak is used: ZFS=/usr/bin/zfs ZPOOL=/usr/bin/zpool \ ./configure ... This is surprisingly hard to emulate with meson, in fact it appears impossible, unless I resort to dodgy hacks with sed etc. Cheers
