[libvirt-users] New wiki pages with libvirt SSH setup instructions
by Justin Clift 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi all, Just added some new pages to the wiki, this time covering how to configure remote access to libvirt through SSH, not using root: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/SSHSetup <--- entry page http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/SSHPolicyKitSetup This has details for several different Linux distributions: * RHEL 5 & 6 * Fedora 11-13 * Centos 5 & 6 * Ubuntu 10.04 Server & Desktop * openSUSE 11.2 onwards Does anyone have info they'd like to include for other distributions? :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

[libvirt-users] SCSI tape drive device
by Tom Stave 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

I have a SCSI tape backup unit attached to a kvm host managed by libvirt. Is there a way to expose the SCSI device in libvirt so I could pass the device to a virtual machine and have the virtual machine control the tape backup? Defining the device as a SCSI disk does not appear to work. In this situation, live migration is not an issue. The VM would always be tied to this host.

[libvirt-users] libvirt problems. Create bridged network via cmdline?
by Денис Барышев 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hello! I've faced a weird problem. And I totally can't understand how libvirt handles networks. The thing that i need to do is simple. I create a bridge in my ubuntu host, the following config: *iface eth0 inet manual* * * *auto br0* *iface br0 inet dhcp* * bridge_ports eth0* * bridge_stp on* * bridge_maxwait 0* That's OK, and my bridge turns up automatically. But I don't understand why libvirt can't use it, it always want to create bridge on its own. So that when I try to create bridged network with the command: virsh virsh net-create net.xml net.xml contents: * <network>* * <name>virbreth0</name>* * <bridge name='br0' stp='on' delay='0' />* * </network>* I always get error ===> error: Failed to create network from net.xml error: cannot create bridge 'br0': File exists That's pretty obvious that libvirt wants to create bridge on its own. But what should I do in my specific situation. May be there is a workaround. I appreciate any help and ideas... Thanks for your answers. Best regards, Denis Barishev.

[libvirt-users] qemu sdl parameters via libvirt
by Bruce Hohl 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hello List, I run a few VMs via libvirt using '--sdl'. I would like to use qemu parameters -no-quit, -no-frame and -ctrl-grab with libvirt. Does libvirt support a way to use these qemu parameters? Does libvirt provide a way to add these options under <graphics/> in the domain.xml using 'virsh edit domain.xml'? My current <graphics/> is as follows: <graphics type='sdl' display=':0' xauth='/home/admin1/.Xauthority'/> I know I could just create a regular kvm start-up script and include these parameters but I would like to manages all VMs via libvirt & virt-manager.

[libvirt-users] Compiling libvirt-0.8.4 for NFSv4
by paul.worner＠thomsonreuters.com 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Hi all, Not sure if this will be useful to anyone. Worse, it's probably not complete or correct, but I thought I would throw this out there for comment. I asked earlier about configuring libvirt for NFSv4 support. I wanted to define NFSv4 pool from xml config, but it's not an option. I decided to hack a bit. Added the following to source code: storage_conf.h(417): enum virStoragePoolFormatFileSystemNet { VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_AUTO = 0, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_NFS, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_NFS4, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_GLUSTERFS, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_CIFS, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_LAST, }; storage_conf.c(64): VIR_ENUM_IMPL(virStoragePoolFormatFileSystemNet, VIR_STORAGE_POOL_NETFS_LAST, "auto", "nfs", "nfs4", "glusterfs", "cifs") Compiled libvirt and then created storage pool xml: <pool type="netfs"> <name>pool2</name> <source> <host name="test_filer"/> <dir path="/libvirt"/> <format type="nfs4"/> </source> <target> <path>"/usr/local/var/lib/libvirt/images/nfsds2"</path> </target> </pool> 'Virsh pool-create [above xml]' works, using 'mount -t nfs4'. Again, this seemed too easy, so I won't be surprised if things break. However, I was just trying to demonstrate functionality in lab, so failures are fine short term. Please comment on flaws or improvements to this approach. Thanks, Paul Worner

[libvirt-users] Virt-v2v
by Mike Hall 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Usual prologue: we're testing on CentOS 5.5, RHEL subscriptions purchased. Now trying to use virt-v2v to transfer Win2008 Server guest from ESXi host to KVM host. Have enabled SSH on ESXi host, and can connect using esx+ssh://esxhost, but procedure fails because nc isn't found on ESXi. Fair enough. BTW, ESXi looks like a radically cut down RH system (/etc/sysconfig being the give-away)? So, using esx:// connection method which presumably uses TLS ... Connection commands I'm trying to use: virt-v2v -f virt-v2v.conf -ic esx://esxhost/?no_verify=1 -op vm_nfs 'HPTRIM Sandbox' virt-v2v -f virt-v2v.conf -ic esx://esxhost/ -op vm_nfs 'HPTRIM Sandbox' I have eliminated libvirt error messages (all #38) relating to /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem and /etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem by creating those files on KVM host according to info on this page: http://libvirt.org/remote.html#Remote_libvirtd_configuration Now I am down to a simple connection refused error message: virt-v2v: Failed to connect to esx://esxhost/: libvirt error code: 38, message: unable to connect to 'esxhost': Connection refused I have also tried suggestion on webpage above regarding these libvirtd.conf settings and restarted libvirtd: tls_no_verify_certificate = 1 key_file = "" cert_file = "" ca_file = "" crl_file = "" ... But no change. The problem may well be the TLS certificates, PKI isn't one of my strong points. I believe the hostnames in the certificates are correct. Which certificates (if any) should be copied to the ESXi host (client or server)? Should I copy any certificates from /etc/vmware/ssl to the KVM host, if so which certificate (rui.crt or rui.key) and where to? There doesn't appear to be anything resembling an iptables firewall in place on the ESXi host. Anyway, any suggestions on what the problem could be greatly appreciated.

I guess ESX driver is not compiled for your libvirt version. To if it's complied, e.g. # strings /usr/lib64/libvirt.so.0.8.1 | grep esx -i If you can't see the symbols like "esxDomainCreate, esxDomainDestroy", it's not.(In case of CentOS doesn't strip the symbols of libvirt.) and in that case you need to recompile libvirt from source code and install it. # ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-esx # ./configure # make # make install Hope it works - Osier ----- "Mike Hall" <MHall(a)astc.nt.gov.au> wrote: > Usual prologue: we're testing on CentOS 5.5, RHEL subscriptions > purchased. > > Now trying to use virt-v2v to transfer Win2008 Server guest from ESXi > host to KVM host. > > Have enabled SSH on ESXi host, and can connect using > esx+ssh://esxhost, but procedure fails because nc isn't found on ESXi. > Fair enough.

[libvirt-users] libvirt fails to autostart on boot
by Serg Khaladzinski 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi I'm having a problem with libvirt. OS: Ubuntu 10.04 When I installed everything initially it worked properly, I was able to use virtual manager to connect to QEMU and install (and run guest OS). But after I rebooted my box - libvirt is not started even though I can see init script in /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin When I start libvirtd manually it works.. But it's kind of annoying for me to do it manually every time.. Maybe someone may suggest any ideas of how can I debug and fix this issue with libvirt autostart. Thanks a lot.

[libvirt-users] NFS4 + SELinux
by Mike Hall 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

All test machines are CentOS 5.5 (RHEL subscriptions purchased). We've had NFS3 storage working fine and decided to try NFS4. We can mount an NFS4 share on our KVM host, but the SELinux file context on the mountpoint directory is magically changed from virt_image_t to nfs_t. Restorecon refuses to change it back. Adding the mount option context=system_u:object_r:virt_image_t on either server or client doesn't help (option not recognised). What could we be doing wrong? Does NFS4 + KVM work? Are there any 'best practices' references around for using NFS4 for KVM storage? Much of the documentation doesn't appear 100% relevant as we're dealing with a dedicated SAN network with one user (root) and 'always on' sharing, so much of the more complicated authentication and autofs stuff just gets in the way.

Re: [libvirt-users] Question about use libvirt
by Mike Hall 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Original message: For a new system to develop, I need to know if I can use libvirt for to get (listen) the information that pass trought the lan (vlan) of the each VM. Marcela's perfect Spanish: quiero saber si utilizando esta libreria, puedo utilizar alguna función que me permita capturar los mensajes que se envian aplicaciones paralelas de paso de mensajes que se ejecutan en las máquinas virtuales. Mike's imperfect translation: "I need to know if, using this library (libvirt), I can use a function that allows me to capture information sent by applications in parallel to/in addition to information passed by virtual machines" I'm no expert, but I don't think libvirt has access, via virtual networking, to data sent by applications running in virtual machines. My guess is that such data would be accessible in the same way as with physical machines on a physical network (eg tcpdump?). Mike

[libvirt-users] bootloader_args element
by David Grundy 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

I am trying to set the hostname of VMs at boot time and banging my head against the wall. I am using virsh create xen-config.xml to boot a Scientific Linux 5.5 image. I have gone through the libvirt domain xml format at http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsResources and I don't see anywhere to set the hostname in there. I am using pygrub for the bootloader and noticed the "bootloader_args" element. Can I pass an argument to the kernel at boot to set the hostname? Can I pass anything to the kernel at boot time? Nothing I have tried seems to work. I have tried sifting through the pygrub code (for lack of documentation) and no luck yet. I think my challenge is with pygrub but any help would be appreciated. I have also posted this at http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2010-10/msg00143.html and http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-virtualization-90/setting-hos… but still waiting...

I'm using the Ruby/FFI libvirt library and getting this consistently on Mac OS X: ruby-1.9.2-p0 > FFI::Libvirt.virInitialize dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _virThreadInitialize Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libvirt.dylib Expected in: flat namespace dyld: Symbol not found: _virThreadInitialize Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libvirt.dylib Expected in: flat namespace Trace/BPT trap I exported DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES and it shows that libvirt.dylib is loaded in the process space, but the above still occurs.

[libvirt-users] Problems with libvirt / qemu

HI, I have a small problem with libvirt / qemu. I have created a guest and when I start it from the command-line the guests starts OK, but when I start the guest through libvirt with "virsh start" I get "Booting from Hard Disk...

[libvirt-users] Monitoring and statistics through libvirt
by Tomi 06 Oct '10

Hi folks, is it possible to monitor and gather statistics in realtime (CPU, memory, HDD, network, ... - something like dstat) of guest systems with libvirt through console from host system (KVM based)? If yes, do those guests need to be created through libvirt? Thanks for your help and time.
