[libvirt-users] old, deleted LUN still showing up after a virsh pool-refresh
by Tom Georgoulias
Today I upgraded one of our KVM physical host servers to Centos 5.6.
The other server remains on Centos 5.5. I've configured a storage pool
in libvirt to use LUNs from an iscsi storage system as the volumes for
each VM.
After the upgrade, I decommisioned one of the VMs and removed the LUN
from the storage system. Normally after this kind of operation, I
simply need to run this command and the server will see that the LUN no
longer exists and remove the volume.
# virsh pool-refresh --pool=dev-kvm-storage
Pool dev-kvm-storage refreshed
This works fine on the centos 5.5 host, but the centos 5.6 still lists
the old lun in the vol-list and displays zeros for the capacity.
# virsh vol-info 7.0.0.26 --pool=dev-kvm-storage
Name: 7.0.0.26
Type: block
Capacity: 0.00
Allocation: 0.00
Do I need to do something different now for the newer version of libvirt
that is included with centos 5.6?
Here are the kernel and libvirt versions I'm using:
Centos 5.6:
kernel-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5
libvirt-0.8.2-15.el5_6.4
Centos 5.5:
kernel-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5
libvirt-0.6.3-33.el5_5.3
Any help is greatly appreciated.

[libvirt-users] ANNOUNCE: oz 0.4.0 release
by Chris Lalancette
All,
I'm pleased to announce release 0.4.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for doing
automated installation of guest operating systems with limited input from the
user.
Release 0.4.0 is a bugfix and feature release for Oz. Some of the
highlights between Oz 0.3.0 and 0.4.0 are:
- Automatic detection/use of cached JEOS images (the previous method required
the user of the oz libraries to detect whether the image was cached or not)
- Fixes to make Debian installs work for both x86_64 and i386
- Honor user-provided automatic installation files better, by not doing
modifications
- Use pyparted to generate partitions on newly created disks (if necessary)
- Add support for Fedora 15
- Add the ability to supply an initial root/Administrator password to the
diskimage
- Abort installs after 5 minutes of disk inactivity
- Use M2Crypto to generate SSH keys (if necessary)
- Some pydoc documentation (more of this to come in the future)
- Support for Ubuntu 11.04
- Support for RHEL-6.1
More documentation on Oz (including links on how to obtain it) is available
here: http://aeolusproject.org/oz.html
For this release, Fedora 14 and RHEL-6 packages are available. Note that I
have stopped providing Fedora 13 packages, since that distribution is (or
will be) out of support. Also note that to install the RHEL-6
packages, you must be running RHEL-6.1 or later.
If you have any questions or comments about Oz, please feel free to contact
aeolus-devel(a)lists.fedorahosted.org or me (clalance(a)redhat.com) directly.
Thanks,

I have attached all the logs (/var/log/dmesg, /var/log/libvirtd.log,

[libvirt-users] Resizing ext4 fedora qemu guest
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora14 host with a fedora15 guest and I'm trying to resize
the /home partition from 200GB to 240GB. I'm relatively new to the
virsh/guestfish commands, as well as LVM, although I think I have a
reasonable understanding. I have followed the virt-resize directions
(http://libguestfs.org/virt-resize.1.html), but it still shows 200GB:
# fdisk -l /dev/mapper/vg_custserv-lv_home
Disk /dev/mapper/vg_custserv-lv_home: 197.2 GB, 197165842432 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 23970 cylinders, total 385089536 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Outside of the guest, I see this:
# virt-filesystems --long --parts --lvs -h -a newdisk.img
Name Type Size Parent
/dev/vg_custserv/lv_home lv 184G /dev/vg_custserv
/dev/vg_custserv/lv_root lv 50G /dev/vg_custserv
/dev/vg_custserv/lv_swap lv 5.9G /dev/vg_custserv
/dev/sda1 partition 500M /dev/sda
/dev/sda2 partition 240G /dev/sda
The partition is the correct size, but it appears the volume group(?)
is not the correct size. fdisk from within the guest also shows the
correct size for the device. I've tried resize2fs from within the
guest. Does virt-resize understand the ext4 filesystem and how to
properly resize it? Is that my problem?
I've also tried using guestfish with lvresize-free without success:
<fs> lvresize-free /dev/mapper/vg_custserv-lv_home 100
libguestfs: error: lvresize_free: New size (5876 extents) matches
existing size (5876 extents)
Run `lvresize --help' for more information.
I'm really not sure what to do next. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

[libvirt-users] Release of libvirt-0.9.2
by Daniel Veillard
As planned the new release is available at:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/
It is a rather large release with near 400 commits included. From
an user point of view the main improvement is likely to be when

[libvirt-users] libvirtError: internal error Domain mytest didn't show up
by Chun Tat David Chu
Hi All,
I am new using libvirt.
I kept on getting the following error when I try to start my VM. Can anyone
give me any suggestion on what could went wrong?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 498, in
run_domain
vm.startup()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 573, in startup
self.vm.create()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 287, in create
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error Domain mytest didn't show up
Thanks,
David

[libvirt-users] io=native
by Troels Arvin
Hello,
Regarding KVM - in particular RHEL 6.1 x86_64:
I just did a set of benchmarks comparing the effect of
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native'/>
versus
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
Using Oracle's "orion" tool with an XIV backend, I got:
With io='native':
Maximum Large MBPS=964.41
Maximum Small IOPS=11797
Minimum Small Latency=7.57
WithOUT io='native':
Maximum Large MBPS=727.42
Maximum Small IOPS=7793
Minimum Small Latency=7.56
In other words, setting the io-attribute to 'native' yields a significant
performance improvement.
I wonder why KVM doesn't simply default to using io='native'. If that
can't happen, then I wonder why libvirt doesn't set io='native' for
storage attached to a guest after creation. (virt-manager sets io='native'
for the first storage, attached during guest setup, but seems to forget
for subsequent block-device additions).
