[libvirt-users] libvirt, OSX and VirtualBox - how?
by Brian Candler 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I have a new OSX Lion Macbook and would like to control VirtualBox using "virsh" (as I do with KVM under Ubuntu). I've got this far: * Installed VirtualBox * Installed libvirt (brew install libvirt) But now I'm a bit stuck :-) I ran VirtualBox itself, and created a test VM successfully. If I try to use virsh, this is what I get: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c vbox:///session error: internal error unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API error: failed to connect to the hypervisor Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c vbox+unix:///session error: Failed to connect socket to '@/Users/brian/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor If I try to start libvirtd, this is what I get: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ /usr/local/sbin/libvirtd 00:00:18.970: -1: info : libvirt version: 0.9.6 00:00:18.970: -1: error : virNetSocketNewListenUNIX:340 : Failed to bind socket to '@/Users/brian/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory [but directory /Users/brian/.libvirt was created] However, VirtualBox itself is running OK: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ VBoxManage list vms "test" {d0d74c25-1dfc-44a4-8a2b-1d25b7972e7c} Furthermore, dtruss suggests that virsh is finding the installed VirtualBox: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ sudo dtruss

In the future it is usually best to keep one of the lists on an email; that way, if I'm away or not responding, someone else can help you. I've added libvirt-users to this response. In any case, you have the right idea. Libvirt is a control plane for various different virtualization solutions. Arguably the most popular virtualization solution that libvirt can control is KVM, but it can also manage Xen, VMware ESX, LXC (linux containers), UML, etc. Libvirt provides both tools (like virsh and libvirtd) and APIs for interacting with virtual machines. The APIs are things like virDomainShutdown(), virDomainReboot(), etc. The ruby-libvirt package is a thin wrapper around these APIs, so that you can use this functionality from ruby programs. That is, you would be able to do something like: dom.reboot dom.shutdown from your ruby programs. There are also bindings for other languages such as python, php, and perl. There is a lot more information at http://libvirt.org, and there is more information specifically about the ruby bindings at http://libvirt.org/ruby -- Chris Lalancette

[libvirt-users] libvirtError: internal error cannot find PCI address for balloon virtio
by Wouter 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi guys, I have a little problem here. When I want to install a virtual machine I get this error: libvirtError: internal error cannot find PCI address for balloon virtio Libvirt is running on a debian 5 system with kvm and of course libvirt. How can I solve this problem, I searched on the Internet but there aren't posts about this problem yet. So I don't have an idea where to look for. I hope you guys can help me. With kind regards, Wouter.

[libvirt-users] virt-manager: create lxc app container hangs
by sean darcy 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

libvirt-0.9.6-2.fc15.x86_64 virt-manager-0.9.0-7.fc15.noarch I'm trying to use virt-manager create a simple lxc app container just to see how it works. App is /bin/sh, 128 megs, 1 cpu. All seems to go well, but when I click "Finish" and the "Creating Virtual Machine" box comes up, "Creating Domain..." stays at 0B though the slider keeps going back and forth. Nothing in /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log No relevant log in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/ Any help appreciated. sean

[libvirt-users] Finding out if Xen or KVM is used
by PREETHI RAMESH 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

I've got 2 doubts: 1.I've been trying to write an application using Libvirt's Java API which should run on both Xen and KVM running machines and execute the Xen or KVM code based on the hypervisor used. I want the physical machine to know if it's running Xen or KVM and execute only that code. While using getURI(), I need to use it as conn.getURI() but then I can't use conn without declaring it previously as Connect conn=new Connect("URI"); Is there any way to get the URI used and hence the hypervisor used? 2. This question concerns the usage of the listDomains(). When I run this piece of code in KVM, it works perfectly fine but throws an array out of bounds exception in Xen. Connect conn=null; conn = new Connect("xen:///", true); int[] id = conn.listDomains(); System.out.println("lD of VM " +id[0]); Thanks for your time. P Ramesh

[libvirt-users] Libvirt exiting and respawning
by Stephen Eilert 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Hi, I'm trying to use Libvirt with LXC, under Ubuntu 11.04, but I can't get it to work. It keeps exiting and being restarted by upstart. Log file follows. It appears that it is complaining, among other things, of QEMU. I am not running QEMU and would like to disable everything except for LXC, but I am not sure it would fix my issue. I've set the log level to debug, even, but didn't see anything out of ordinary. Even resorted to strace, but I don't know enough about libvirtd to try and understand its behavior.

[libvirt-users] Event&Callback in QEMU
by huachao yao 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi buddy, I wanna to monitor a domain's life cycle event, so i register a event an a virConnectDomainEventCallback, the code segment is as below: ------------------------ int DomainEventCallback(virConnectPtr conn, virDomainPtr dom, int event, int detail, void * opaque){ /*My code */ ....... } int main(){ /* .....*/ virDomainPtr dom = domain.getDomains("xp"); virFreeCallback freecb = NULL; void *opaque =NULL; virConnectDomainEventCallback cb =DomainEventCallback; virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(conn, dom, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK(cb),opaque,freecb); /* .....*/ } but such a error happened: libvir: Remote error : this function is not supported by the connection driver: no event support and the libvirt version is 0.9; the driver is QEMU-KVM ,version is 0.14.0. I want to know why this Error will happen? Is the QEMU not support the LIFECYCLE Event ? If it is , how can i monitor the domain's life cycle event( such as started,defined and stopped..) Pls help~~

Hello all, I'm using libvirt 0.8.3 on Debian Lenny (package provided in lenny-backports). After restarting libvirtd, I cannot start VM anymore. The daemon is restarted, but each time I try to start a domain, I get this message : virsh # start vm2 error: Failed to start domain vm2 error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: When daemon is started with -v argument : 18:20:26.142: warning : qemudParsePCIDeviceStrs:1422 : Unexpected exit status '1', qemu probably failed 18:20:26.149: error : virExecDaemonize:782 : internal error Intermediate daemon process exited with status 0. 18:20:26.230: error : qemudReadLogOutput:2118 : internal error Process exited while reading console log output: In /var/log/syslog : Nov 3 18:20:26 ksm03 kernel: device vnet0 entered promiscuous mode Nov 3 18:20:26 ksm03 kernel: br0: port 2(vnet0) entering learning state Nov 3 18:20:26 ksm03 kernel: br0: port 2(vnet0) entering learning state Nov 3 18:20:26 ksm03 kernel: libvirtd[13599]: segfault at 41882000 ip 000000000043ac8b sp 000000004187e3b0 error 4 in libvirtd[400000+db000] Nov 3 18:20:26 ksm03 kernel: br0: port 2(vnet0) entering learning state Nov 3 18:20:26 ksm03 kernel: device vnet0 left promiscuous mode Nov 3 18:20:26 ksm03 kernel: br0: port 2(vnet0) entering disabled state When I reboot the server it works.

[libvirt-users] general protection errors
by Alex 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi, Some time ago I sent a message about some general protection errors, and didn't receive a response. I hoped I could post again and that someone might have some ideas. I really don't think it is a hardware problem producing these errors, but am otherwise out of ideas. I'm having a problem with a fedora15 x86_64 host with a fedora15 x86_64 guest on a Xeon E3-1240 with 8GB RAM on the guest. This is the only guest. The server is configured as a mail server, using spamassassin, postfix, amavisd, and clamav. Have there been significant changes in the current version from 0.8.8 that is shipped with fedora15? It was previously running without error on different hardware. I migrated the disks to a more powerful server due to load. It's a new server, and has been stress tested with memtest86, mprime, and passmark's Linux test for more than 24 hours without producing a problem. However, when I run the kvm vm, I receive a bunch of errors similar to these on the guest: [169245.360511] clamscan[27448] general protection ip:7f125f2e6ffb sp:7fff117566f0 error:0 in libclamav.so.6.1.11[7f125f229000+9ce000] [29016.445470] clamd[1110] general protection ip:30df2c3981 sp:7fffa08f4fe0 error:0 in libclamav.so.6.1 .11[30df200000+9ce000] There are other applications, such as pyzor, that produce similar errors. Is this something that could be a result of some software configuration error I've made? Is there something I can do to debug this further? There also aren't any errors on the host indicating a kernel problem or hardware issue. Is it possible this is a known error? I was previously trying to improve IO performance by using 'block' instead of 'file' for the device, but had to abandon that idea because it didn't work and I had to concentrate on this problem. Could disabling the cache (cache=none) cause this? I've included some info below, in hopes someone could guide me towards a solution. # rpm -qva|egrep 'kvm|libvirt|kernel|qemu' libvirt-python-0.8.8-7.fc15.x86_64 kernel-2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64 qemu-img-0.14.0-8.fc15.x86_64 gpxe-roms-qemu-1.0.1-4.fc15.noarch kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-0.14.0-8.fc15.x86_64 libvirt-0.8.8-7.fc15.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.8.8-7.fc15.x86_64 qemu-common-0.14.0-8.fc15.x86_64 kernel-headers-2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.14.0-8.fc15.x86_64 I've included my domain config below in hopes it helps. <domain type='kvm'> <name>mail02</name> <uuid>ec4f3cf5-2f27-fb3e-72f6-3fa3176b13b6</uuid> <memory>6291456</memory> <currentMemory>6291456</currentMemory> <vcpu>4</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.14'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/mail02.img'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:67:2c:4c'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> Thanks, Alex
