[libvirt-users] Listing shut off domains
by None 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hi, I am in the process of migrating a system that was using KVM to VMWare Workstation. The original code needs to list all the domains available on the local machine, no matter what their state is. The problem is that the shut off domains are not shown by the virsh commands on the VMWare Workstation system. On the KVM system, with one shut off domain, I get this output: maxpower@sw ~$ virsh list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------- - 00042-my-domain shut off On the VMWare Workstation system, with one shut off domain, I get this output: maxpower@sw2 ~ $ virsh -c vmwarews:///session list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------- As soon as I power on the machine in VMWare, it appears in the output as running: maxpower@sw2 ~ $ virsh -c vmwarews:///session list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------- 14063 my-domain-1 running Is this a limitation of the Workstation driver? Is there a workaround of some sort that I haven't thought of? How can I get the entire domain list when using Workstation? Thanks for your input, Alexis

[libvirt-users] Python API - setting client certificate path
by Wojciech Gumularz 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Hi there, I'm trying to establish a TLS connection to libvirtd with certificates verification from a python script. My question is quite simple: is it possible to set the client certificate/keyfile path from within a python script? or it has to be in /etc/pki/libvirt/... Thanks in advance for any help Wojciech Gumularz

[libvirt-users] Can I update libvirt while KVM guest os are running
by Masanari Iida 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hello I have a simple question. Can I update libvirt RPM while KVM guest OS on RHEL5 is running. Background When I run rhn_register, then rhn-virtualization-host RPM was installed by RHN. And then libvirt-python was also installed from the RHN. The libvirt-python RPM has a dependency with libvirt. And the dependency was not only the RPM file name, and also specific RPM versions as well. # rpm -qR libvirt-python /usr/bin/python (snip) libssl.so.6()(64bit) libvirt = 0.8.2-15.el5　<== libvirt.so.0()(64bit) So the libvirt from RHEL5.5 was updated to libvirt from RHEL5.6 by this accident. If nothing was happen, I don't care. But after the force libvirt update, I couldn't do attach-disk. 　error : Failed to attach disk error : internal error missing disk device alias name for hdc Now I would like to confirm from the authority that libvirt update while running guest os is supported or not. If supported, then these messages indicated something going wrong. If not, I can ignore it. Regards, Masanari

[libvirt-users] Registering a callback in Java
by kadir yüceer 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

I'm able to edit org.libvirt.Domain.java and print a message when, for example suspend() is called. However I want to use eventCallback API of libvirt. Isn't this the proper piece of code to register a callback to any domain(domain parameter is null), for a lifecycle event(event id 0). conn.domainEventRegisterAny(null, 0, new VirConnectDomainEventGenericCallback() { public void eventCallback(ConnectionPointer cp, DomainPointer dp, Pointer pntr) { System.out.println("event!"); } }); I can't get the println when I suspend or resume the domains. And the reason I wrote "0" is that I could not find VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE constant in java API. Any help about where to find macros,types and enumerations in java API is appreciated. Unfortunately I can not find anything about events in javadoc neither. Any comments? Kind regards Kadir

[libvirt-users] Can not convert LVM over two vmdk files
by Marc Boorshtein 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hello, I'm trying to migrate from VMWare to KVM. I've got a redhat 5 (actually oracle unbreakable 5) vmware image that has two scsi vmdk files with logical volumes spanning both drives. Wether I convert them to raw files or load them as vmdk files, when I start them linux boots but fails while trying to initate the LVM. They are both mounted as scsi drives and in the correct order. The host is Fedora 15 Alpha. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to ditch VMWare! Thanks Marc

[libvirt-users] Protocols used for migration
by linux user 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hi all, I'd like to know what are the different protocols used for migration of KVM guests on RHEL hosts.I'm actually interested in 'virsh dump' and virsh dump executes the qemu 'migrate' command.I understand 'exec' is one of the protocols. Appreciate any pointers. For eg:(qemu) migrate -d "exec:cat >'/tmp/vm'" Thanks, Marc

[libvirt-users] Creating a network bridge with multiple interfaces
by Alex 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hi, I have an existing fedora14 system with two interfaces and several virtual interfaces (as in eth0:0, etc). They are currently configured to not be controlled by NetworkManager, but just standard network services. I've recently started working with libvirtd, so I also have a virbr0 interface as well that has its own network and is masquerading the networking for the single KVM instance I have running. I would now like to create another instance that is not masqueraded, but instead uses another virtual interface, such as eth0:1, which is an Internet-addressable IP address. When I try to do this, virt-manager seems to still configure it using NAT. I think the right way to do this is to convert the eth* instances to instead use a real bridge, correct? How can I do this? Below is the output from ifconfig on my system: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 40:61:86:4E:84:09 inet addr:XX.195.193.YY Bcast:XX.195.193.YY Mask:255.255.255.248 inet6 addr: fe80::4261:86ff:fe4e:8409/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:204613580 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:220748087 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:146443250035 (136.3 GiB) TX bytes:207505258199 (193.2 GiB) Interrupt:42 eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 40:61:86:4E:84:09 inet addr:XX.195.193.ZZ Bcast:XX.195.193.YY Mask:255.255.255.248 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:42 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:0C:3B:36:F4 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20e:cff:fe3b:36f4/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:241615579 errors:6 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:3 TX packets:230218850 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:210464139370 (196.0 GiB) TX bytes:171698241573 (159.9 GiB) eth1:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:0C:3B:36:F4 inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 eth1:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:0C:3B:36:F4 inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:3439643 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3439643 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:849466836 (810.1 MiB) TX bytes:849466836 (810.1 MiB) virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.125.1 Bcast:192.168.125.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3088 (3.0 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Thanks for any ideas.

Hello I''m developing a system using libvirt and I need to use "migrate" to move guest to different hosts. I'm testing using a cluster connected by ssh, and I'm connect ok trought them, using virsh and virt-manager. But if I try to migrate doing: *virsh # migrate --live scompi1 qemu+ssh://rionegro/system* I got: *error: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused* I've try using the virt-manager, but troughs: *Unable to migrate guest: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/**virtManager/migrate.py", line 453, in _async_migrate vm.migrate(dstconn, migrate_uri, rate, live, secure) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/**virtManager/domain.py", line 230, in migrate self._backend.migrate(**destconn.vmm, flags, newname, interface, rate) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-**packages/libvirt.py", line 429, in migrate if ret is None:raise libvirtError('**virDomainMigrate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused* Someone can help me? Thank you very much. Marcela.
