[libvirt-users] request to add an application the app listing on libvirt site
by Ohad Levy 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi, I would like to add two apps which uses libvirt the site. Ruby Objects for libvirt based on top of the native ruby binding, Virt ruby gem exposes real objects such as Host, Guest, StoragePool, Interface etc. more info at https://github.com/ohadlevy/virt Foreman - Web UI for provisioning and managing servers Among the many things foreman can do, It provides to relevant parts to libvirt: UI to list / start / stop / destroy vms UI to create a new vm as part of the provisioning process (e.g. dhcp, dns, tftp, pxe, vm, ks/preseed, puppet etc) more info at http://theforeman.org Thanks!

I was reading the API reference for the libvirt, when I came across the function virDomainMigrate and virDomainMigrate2. I am unable to find the difference between the two. Can someone please tell the difference in the application of the two? -- Abhishek

[libvirt-users] Boot delay
by Jeff 13 Jun '11

Is there a method of tweaking the boot sequence of a KVM instance so that you can delay the process for X number of seconds? I don't have enough time between starting the KVM and connecting via VNC. Thanks Jeff

[libvirt-users] libvirt-bin MOSTLY fails to create default virtual network
by m m 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

I have observed 3 scenarios after I reboot the host with 2 guests (which are supposed to autostart after boot/reboot of the host): 1. Default network is created but I can not ping guests. Gests don't have assigned IP address or they both have IP address 192.168.122.100. 2. Default network is not created. 3. Default netork is properly created and everything works fine. In each case guests are started and they work properly. Cases 1. and 2. happen a lot more often then case 3. My solutions: - When I restart libvirt-bin then everything is fine. - When I set 'sleep 40' in 'pre-start' section of /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf and modify 'start on' section in the following way: start on (runlevel [2345] and net-device-up IFACE=br0) then everything works fine. However, none of the above solutions indeed solves the problem. Please, let me know if there is solution to this problem or what are your suggestions regarding this issue. **** HOST$ uname -a Linux ras 2.6.32-32-server #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 20 22:07:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux GUEST1 and GUEST2 $ uname -a Linux server1-desktop 2.6.32-32-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 20 21:54:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux HOST$ libvirtd --version libvirtd (libvirt) 0.7.5 My idea was that some kernel modules sometimes are loaded before libvirt-bin starts, and sometimes libvirt-bin starts earlier, or in the middle of loading of these modules, that is why 3 scenarios can be observed. That is why I have added: cp /proc/modules /home/wsadmin2/modules1 cp /proc/modules /home/wsadmin2/modules2 to 'pre-start' and 'post-start' parts respectively of /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf. Of course, beween execution of - pre-start part - exec /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d - post-start part other kernel modules can be loaded, so we can not be sure which additional modules in file 'modules2' were indeed loaded before libvirtd was actually started. Here are my observations: Scenatio 1. 33 (fixed) modules were logged - call them BASE MODULES. Scenatio 2. Beside BASE MODULES + the following modules were loaded: > iptable_filter 1841 0 - Live 0xffffffffa007c000 > ip_tables 18201 1 iptable_filter, Live 0xffffffffa0172000 > x_tables 22361 1 ip_tables, Live 0xffffffffa0164000 Scenatio 3.

[libvirt-users] e: How to disconnect the ISO image using virsh
by Jeff 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

I am trying to detach an ISO from a KVM machine and I've tried both attach-disk using " " in the file path as well as the update-device option but am getting this error error: Failed to update device from /var/run/libvirt/qemu/kvmtest1.xml error: XML description for unknown device type is not well formed or invalid. I tried doing a virsh edit on the xml file to remove the source file path to the ISO, as I assume is the correct method, and then running the virsh update-device but it's not working. Can anyone advise the correct steps to detach a device from a running and/or offline domain? Additionally - anyone have any guidance on how to attach a CD device to a domain that is currently shutdown, for example, if I wanted to boot the domain to a rescue CD image? Thanks Jeff 于 2011年03月31日 15:17, Masanari Iida 写道: Somebody sent me a tips. Following command do what I wanted to do. Thanks. attach-disk guest01 " " hdc --driver file --type cdrom --mode readonly Also using "update-device" with an xml which doesn't specify the source file path will work.

[libvirt-users] stuck after upgrade
by Julian Cerruti 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Hi all, We're completely stuck helpless with our CentOS system which we've been using as a VM server. After an unanticipated system upgrade, we can't get virsh or virt-manager to connect to libvirt anymore. It gets completely stuck during startup, trying to connect. One of the suspicious things we've seen is the following: [root@ana libvirt]# netstat | grep /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock .... I'm not adding more information here because there is so much we've tried that I wouldn't know where to start. I would be happy to provide any info that would be useful to solve this issue. Any hint or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Julian

I have attached all the logs (/var/log/dmesg, /var/log/libvirtd.log, /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/boot.log and info about loaded modules /proc/modules) regarding scenatios1,2,3 (please see the README file for simple explanation what is there). By the way, I have installed only dnsmasq-bin (and not dnsmasq).

Re: [libvirt-users] Resizing ext4 fedora qemu guest
by Richard W.M. Jones 10 Jun '11

Original message: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2011-June/msg00017.html Best to post libguestfs and virt-tools questions on one of these two mailing lists: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list The answer is: yes, virt-resize understands ext4. I can't really say more since you don't say what virt-resize command line you are actually using. But if I were a gambling man, I'd say it's because you've forgotten: --lv-expand /dev/vg_custserv/lv_home (or whichever filesystem you want to resize). If that's not the problem, please post a full description of what you're trying to do, including the virt-resize command, the full output of the command, and the output of 'virt-filesystems --all --long' before and after the resize.

[libvirt-users] Shared Folders
by Guilherme Santos 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Good afternoon. I am having trouble trying to set up shared folders in the guest VM using VirtualBox hypervisor. No matter what configuration is defined in my XML, it never works, I mean, no shared folder is added/specifyed, then, inside the guest, when I try to mount the folder, I always get a protocol error. If I use VirtualBoxManage, I can add/specify shared folders easily and mount it with no problem. I need to use libvirt in order to deal, in a generalized way, with the process of creating shared folders in all hypervisors supported by libvirt, otherwise my problem would be solved already. I must not use specific commands of a certain hypervisor (such as VirtualBoxManage's). How does libvirt allow me to set up shared folders? Does it use VirtualBoxManage for VBox hypervisors? If so, how do I use it? I've read the documentation and followed it in defining my XMLs. Thanks anyway! -- Guilherme Santos G.
