[libvirt-users] libvirt API hangs
by Zhang Qian
Hi,
I have someVMs in my KVM hosts(RHEL 5.5), I found when run "virsh save
<domain> <file>" to save a VM, the command "virsh dominfo <domain>" will
hang until the save command finishes.
Is this libvirt's behavior? Or KVM/QEMU's? This may impact the performance.
Thanks,
Qian

[libvirt-users] Bridge with macvtap problem
by Eduardo
Hi friends!
I'm using libvirt 0.8.1 with qemu-kvm 0.12.4 on Linux 2.6.34. At the
moment there are 2 virtual machines running inside that host without
problem. They are using the macvtap feature for networking share. But I
can't do ping from the host to the guest, but I need this. And whatever
communication between them. Ping with other host is normal. Below
follows the xml domain definition of one guest:
<domain type='kvm' id='2'>
<name>vox2</name>

P.S.: The default network of libvirt is disabled.

[libvirt-users] apparmor and kvm/libvirt
by Julian Robbins
Hi
After kindly answering my question on snapshots not working whilst vm is
on, i find that apparmor is still disturbing the process where snapshots
can get written
But although i should just be able to disable apparmor for my vm in
virt-manager, whilst vm is off; that when i start the vm the apparmor
settings go back to being enabled and set to dynamic
This is stopping me from taking snapshots again whilst vm is on. :-(
I have also tried disabling the apparmor profile for libvirt on the host
but this appears to have had no effect. I know very little about appamor
and it is not particularly important to be used in this case.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on both host and guest 64 bit.

[libvirt-users] How to configure kvm development environment
by Avdhoot Joshi
Hi,
Installed RHEL 5.5 on AMD Opteron.
[root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 ~]# uname -a
Linux wlng-ppcore-nd3 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:39 EDT 2010
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 ~]# virsh version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.6.3
Using library: libvir 0.6.3
Using API: QEMU 0.6.3
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.9.1
This is the default version of virsh using libvirt 0.6.3.
Downloaded libvirt 0.8.1, configured it as follows:
$ configure
$ make
$ make install
What should be done so that virsh uses the latest 0.8.1 libvirtd binary, how
to completely stop 0.6.3?
I want to execute a program using virDomainMemoryStats which is available
only in latest libvirtd.
Thanks,
Avdhoot

Re: [libvirt-users] Problems moving qemu machine to libvirt
by Gunnar Thielebein
Hi Erik,
thanks for the solution provided.
I tried that but unfortunately it spits out this error message:
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 588, in run_domain
> vm.startup()
> File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 150, in startup
> self._backend.create()
> File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 300, in create
> if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
> libvirtError: internal error cannot parse QEMU version number in ''
Looks to me that libvirt does some version checks with the emulator-node and
don't get reliable output.
The wrapper script:
/etc/libvirt/kvmvde:
> #!/bin/bash
> exec /usr/bin/kvm "$@" \
> -net nic,vlan=0,model=virtio,macaddr=52:54:61:44:21:23 \
> -net vde,vlan=0,group=libvirtd,mode=0770,sock=/var/run/vde.ctl
The xml section:
...
> <devices>
> <emulator>/etc/libvirt/kvmvde</emulator>
> <disk type='file' device='disk'>
> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/vlxp01-gt/tmp7Jiyzz.qcow2'/>
> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
> </disk>
...
Btw. is the bridge entry really necessary in the xml file?
I wonder if this wouldn't also work, but I am not at this step, currently:
=> http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSSlirp
"Generic ethernet connection"

> <interface type='ethernet'>

Perhaps this is a place to also start the vde hub?

Any reason no to use the virtio driver?

[libvirt-users] Functionality of virsh net-edit
by Arseny Klimovsky
Hi,
I am using version libvirt on debian lenny from backports repository,
version 0.7.6-1~bpo50+1, amd64.
Th functionality of "virsh net-edit" command is not very clearly
documented, and I think it should change a configuration of a running
network. But I see it doesn't.
So, I want to add new host, for example:
#I have old configuration
root@xxx:/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks# virsh net-edit default
Network default XML configuration edited.
#Here I added new line: new host definition
root@xxx:/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks# cat default.xml
#Here I see that new line
root@xxx:/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks# virsh net-dumpxml default
root@xxx:/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks# virsh net-edit default
#Here I see exactly the old network definition
Is this behaviour expected?
If yes, how to just add new host on a running network?

[libvirt-users] Documentation Bug: struct virSchedParameter missing value field
by Guido Winkelmann
Hi,
The libvirt documentation under
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virSchedParameter
fails to list the "value" member, even though that is kind of essential for
using the struct.
This is what the documentation says:
struct virSchedParameter{
charfield[VIR_DOMAIN_SCHED_FIELD_LENGTH] field : parameter name
int type : parameter type
}
This is how it looks in the actual header file:
typedef struct _virSchedParameter virSchedParameter;
struct _virSchedParameter {
char field[VIR_DOMAIN_SCHED_FIELD_LENGTH]; /* parameter name */
int type; /* parameter type */
union {
int i; /* data for integer case */
unsigned int ui; /* data for unsigned integer case */
long long int l; /* data for long long integer case */
unsigned long long int ul; /* data for unsigned long long integer
case */
double d; /* data for double case */
char b; /* data for char case */
} value; /* parameter value */
};
This one had me scratching my head for a while, because the way it is
documented, it's absolutely not clear how the struct is supposed to be used.
Only after studying the virsh source code for a while did I notice that this
struct apparently has more members than the documentation lets on...
