[libvirt-users] some problem with snapshot by libvirt
by xingxing gao 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Hi,all,i am using libvirt to manage my vm,in these days i am testing the libvirt snapshot ,but meet some problem: the snapshot was created from this command: snapshot-create-as win7 --disk-only --diskspec vda,snapshot=external --diskspec hda,snapshot=no but when i tried to revert from the snapshot which created from the above command ,i got error below: virsh # snapshot-revert win7 1338041515 --force error: unsupported configuration: revert to external disk snapshot not supported yet version: virsh # version Compiled against library: libvir 0.9.4 Using library: libvir 0.9.4 Using API: QEMU 0.9.4 Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.0.93

[libvirt-users] NWFilter and IPv6
by Guido Winkelmann 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi, Libvirt's nwfilter ships a number of useful filter scripts by default, but none to handle IPv6 traffic. Is there a particular reason for that, or is that just because nobody has got around to that yet? One interesting thing about dealing with IPv6 traffic is that hosts often have several auto-configured addresses, usually at least one auto-configured link- local address under fe80::/64 and one auto-configured one from router- advertisements. For writing filter rules, it would be nice to have some function/notation to calculate those auto-configured addresses for the user, so we can write something like this: <rule action='return' direction='out' priority='500'> <ipv6 srcipaddr='ipv6_autoconf($IPV6_PREFIX[@1], $IPV6_MASK[@1], $MAC)'/> </rule> <rule action='return' direction='out' priority='500'> <ipv6 srcipaddr='$IPV6'/> </rule> <rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='1000'/> or maybe more like this: <ipv6 mode='autoconf' field='srcipaddr' prefix='$IPV6_PREFIX[@1]' netmask='$IPV6_MASK[@1]' mac='$MAC)'/> Guido

[libvirt-users] error: unsupported configuration: block I/O throttling not supported with this QEMU binary
by hzguanqiang 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, guys. I want to change block I/O throttle using 'virsh blkdeviotune' with vm not running, it reported an error: # virsh blkdeviotune instance-000000dc /dev/loop0 --total-bytes-sec 20000000 --total-iops-sec 20 --config error: Unable to change block I/O throttle error: unsupported configuration: block I/O throttling not supported with this QEMU binary I can do this when the vm is running. Is it a bug? How can I fix this problem. BTW,My libvirt version is 0.9.13: # virsh version Compiled against library: libvir 0.9.13 Using library: libvir 0.9.13 Using API: QEMU 0.9.13 Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.1.2 Thanks. 2012-11-28 hzguanqiang

[libvirt-users] How to passthru a block device from host to the quest os in kvm?
by Dennis Chen 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi, Is there any APIs or some XML scheme can passthru a local block device of the host, eg, /dev/sda1 to its running guest OS? Specifically, say there is a block device /dev/sda1 in the host, mount it: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; ls /mnt: a.file, b.file After passthru, the same /dev/sda1 can be used by the quest os(maybe the dev name is changed): mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; ls /mnt: a.file, b.file. BRs, Dennis

[libvirt-users] Live migration with non-shared storage leads to corrupted file system
by Xinglong Wu 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi, We have the following environment for live-migration with non-shared stroage between two nodes, Host OS: RHEL 6.3 Kernel: 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 Qemu-kvm: 1.2.0 libvirt: 0.10.1 and use "virsh" to do the job as virsh -c 'qemu:///system' migrate --live --persistent --copy-storage-all <guest-name> qemu+ssh://<target-node>/system The above command itself returns no error, and the migrated domain in the destination node starts fine. But when I log into the migrated domain, some commands failed immediately. And if I shutdown the domain, it won't boot up any more, complaining about the corrupted file system. Furthermore, I can confirm that the domain before migration works flawlessly after thorough test. The log file in /var/log/libvirt/qemu looks fine without any warnings or errors. And the only error message I can observe is found at /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log 2012-11-25 10:00:55.001+0000: 15398: warning : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:838 : Cannot start job (query, none) for domain testVM; current job is (async nested, migration out) owned by (15397, 15397) 2012-11-25 10:00:55.001+0000: 15398: error : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:842 : Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock 2012-11-25 10:00:57.009+0000: 15393: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1184 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error I also noticed that the raw image file used by the migrated domain has the different sizes (reported by "du") before and after the migration. Is there anybody having the similiar experience with live migration on non-shared storage? It apparently leads to failed migrations in libvirt but no cirtical errors ever reported. Brett

[libvirt-users] IPV6 configuration
by Patrick Chemla 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Hi, I am running package libvirt-0.9.11.6-1.fc17.x86_64 on a kernel-3.6.5-1.fc17.x86_64 Fedora 17. I have set up the host with an IPv6 address, and I made some successfull tests transferring in IPv6 mode to/from other hosts. I want to set up libvirt to get an IPv6 address for his local network interface, same for the guests. I want the guests to be able to communicate directly on the internet through this ipv6 address. I have had a <ip family="ipv6" address="2001:xxxxxxx" /> line to the /etc/libvirtd/qemu/network/default.xml file but when I restart the host, this line disappears and no ipv6 address is added to the libvirt interface. I have added an ipv6 address to the guest in the same range of the host address. I can ping6 the address locally on the guest, but can't access the host. Is there somewhere a howto-libvirt-ipv6 to understand how to set up the whole stuff? Thanks for help Patrick

[libvirt-users] Block device IO limits
by Davide Guerri 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Hi all, is there a way to limit the throughput (or the number of operations per seconds) of a block device? I ask because I've a couple of misconfigured VMs that are performing a lot of disk activity (swapping I'd bet but I haven't access to their OS). Since their storage is on a NFS share they are slowing down other VMs on the same share. Thank you. Davide.

[libvirt-users] image transfer incompletely in live migration
by yli＠cloudiya.com 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

Hi all, I am using libvirt version 0.10.1 and qemu-kvm version 1.2.0 with RHEL 6.3 When I use libvirt API to make block migrate with a VM, it failed frequently. I check the migrated VM and found that the filesystem damaged. But sometimes it works very fine, I don't know why, it seems to be random. All failed tests have the same condition, image transfer incompletely in live migration. The image I used is 10GB size, after a failed migration it has only about 400MB to 3GB in remote host. Here is the code: import libvirt from xml.dom import minidom name = "vm-01" host = libvirt.open("qemu:///system") vm = host.lookupByNmae(name) vm_xml_file = "/etc/libvirt/qemu/%s.xml" % name vm_xml = minidom.parse(vm_xml_file).documentElement.toxml() remote_host = "qemu+ssh://host02/system" remote = libvirt.open(remote_host) try: vm.migrate2(remote, vm_xml, 89, name, None, 0) except Exception,e: print str(e) Before run the code I have already create a image for migration in remote host 'host02'. Path, size, and privilege all OK. Here is the related log: in source host 'host01': 2012-11-24 05:14:40.001+0000: 24888: warning : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:838 : Cannot start job (query, none) for domain wrksp-776; current job is (async nested, migration out) owned by (24890, 24890) 2012-11-24 05:16:16.398+0000: 24888: error : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:842 : Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock 2012-11-24 05:16:21.317+0000: 24887: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1184 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error in remote host 'host02': 2012-11-24 05:14:00.776+0000: 11065: warning : qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorInternal:993 : This thread seems to be the async job owner; entering monitor without asking for a nested job is dangerous 2012-11-24 05:14:01.196+0000: 11065: warning : qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorInternal:993 : This thread seems to be the async job owner; entering monitor without asking for a nested job is dangerous 2012-11-24 05:14:01.198+0000: 11065: warning : qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorInternal:993 : This thread seems to be the async job owner; entering monitor without asking for a nested job is dangerous 2012-11-24 05:14:01.208+0000: 11065: warning : qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorInternal:993 : This thread seems to be the async job owner; entering monitor without asking for a nested job is dangerous 2012-11-24 05:14:01.211+0000: 11065: warning : qemuDomainObjEnterMonitorInternal:993 : This thread seems to be the async job owner; entering monitor without asking for a nested job is dangerous I try to use command "virsh migrate vm-01 --live --copy-storage-all --persistent --undefinesource qemu+ssh://host02/system --verbose", the test results have no change, common but not regular. Even after my once successful test, it will certainly fail when I try to make a second migrate with the same VM. How can I solve this problem？ Anything is helpful. Thanks.

[libvirt-users] About IBM PowerVM hypervisor support

Hi, I noticed that libvirt support the following hypervisors currently: * The KVM/QEMU <http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html> Linux hypervisor * The Xen <http://libvirt.org/drvxen.html> hypervisor on Linux and Solaris hosts. * The LXC <http://libvirt.org/drvlxc.html> Linux container system * The OpenVZ <http://libvirt.org/drvopenvz.html> Linux container system * The User Mode Linux <http://libvirt.org/drvuml.html> paravirtualized kernel * The VirtualBox <http://libvirt.org/drvvbox.html> hypervisor * The VMware ESX and GSX <http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html> hypervisors * The VMware Workstation and Player <http://libvirt.org/drvvmware.html> hypervisors * The Microsoft Hyper-V <http://libvirt.org/drvhyperv.html> hypervisor /"the goal of libvirt: *to provide a common and stable layer sufficient to securely manage domains on a node, possibly remote*."/ My question is, does redhat's libvirt team have the plan to support IBM PowerVM hypervisor? If the answer is NO, what's the reason to make the support for IBM PowerVM hypervisor doesn't make sense... BRs, Dennis

[libvirt-users] add disk problems for domain
by zhijun liu 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

hi,all I use Java api `domain.attachDeviceFlags(xml, 0);` to add a disk for domain. the xml file like this: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/dev/sp1353486595267/v1353488096262'/> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> </disk> then I use command `virsh detach-disk $domain vdb` to remove the disk. what I said above have no any errors.but the problem is when I restart this vm ,the disk still exist,because I see it from the command `virsh dumpxml $domain` ,how to remove the disk from this domain persistently. thanks in advance. >zhijun

At http://libvirt.org/drvvbox.html it says: "The libvirt VirtualBox driver can manage any VirtualBox version from version 2.2 onwards" However it looks like 4.2 is yet implemented. Perhaps the page could be updated? Thanks, Brian Candler. P.S. I see work is ongoing in this area: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg00038.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-November/msg00575.html

[libvirt-users] unable to ping from guests in virbr0 to guests in virbr1 network
by mallapadi niranjan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi all, I have 3 guests (2-RHEL4 and 1 RHEL6) and have some issues regarding networking between them.

[libvirt-users] Handling connection closes in (older) Sys::Virt
by Henrik Ahlgren 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

I hope this is the correct mailing list for discussing the Sys::Virt Perl module. It appears that the most recent version has a new method called register_close_callback that, I believe, can be used to catch errors when the connection to libvirt is closed, e.g. due to libvirt restart or a network related issue. (I've been testing this simply by killing the the SSH process in the libvirt server.) However, Debian still ships libvirt 0.9.12 in stable backports and testing, as probably do many other mainstream distributions. The latest Perl bindings that can be installed from CPAN is thus 0.9.12 and it does not have support for close callbacks. Not only that, when a Perl program loses the (ssh) connection to libvirt, Perl just crashes: Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe. 0x00007ffff73de0d0 in __write_nocancel () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 Setting a $SIG{PIPE} handler does not seem to help. Is there any possibility of a Perl program surviving and gracefully handling a closed libvirt connection with libvirt version 0.9.12 or older? Henrik

[libvirt-users] virt-install kickstart local file
by Joe Linoff 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi Everybody: I am trying to get virt-install to work with a kickstart file that is on the local file system. I tried using the --initrd-inject="/tmp" --extra-args="ks=file:/myks.cfg" but I got this error message: ERROR --extra-args only work if specified with --location. Here is the basic command: virt-install \ --accelerate \ --cdrom /tools/iso/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso \ --disk device=disk,path="/var/lib/libvirt/images/myguest.img" \ --graphics vnc \ --name myguest \ --os-type linux \ --os-variant rhel6 \ --ram 2048 \ --vpcus 1,maxvcpus=4 \ --initrd-inject "/tmp" \ --extra-args "ks=file:/myks.cfg" Why do I need the location? I thought that was only used when installatiing from a distribution tree. I am using a DVD ISO image. If I have to use it, how would I specify it? If this approach won't work, I could move the ks.cfg file to an NFS mounted file system but I am not sure what the syntax is for that. I am running this on a CentOS 6.3 system. libvirt: 0.9.10 qemu: 0.12.1 Thank you, Joe

[libvirt-users] virt-viewer X forwarding through ssh broken since FC17 upgrade?
by Ken Coar 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Ever since I upgraded my laptop from FC15 to FC17, I've been getting this message when I ssh to some RHEL6 hosts inside Red Hat. In particular, I'm trying to do this: virt-viewer --connect \ qemu+ssh://kvm11.devlab.phx1.redhat.com/system \ bork-s01.candlepin.dev.devlab.phx1.redhat.com This is the message I get: X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 A viewer window pops up for a fraction of a second and then goes away. Using -vvvv on the local ssh command gives a few possibly related messages: debug2: x11_get_proto: /usr/bin/xauth list :0.0 2>/dev/null debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug2: channel 0: request x11-req confirm 1 debug1: Requesting authentication agent forwarding. debug2: channel 0: request auth-agent-req(a)openssh.com confirm 0 : debug1: Remote: No xauth program; cannot forward with spoofing. This is new, and, not being an X maven, largely opaque to me. xauth is provided by package xorg-x11-xauth, which is typically *not* installed. Installing it on the system to which I'm trying to ssh gets rid of the message, but doesn't change the up-down behaviour of the viewer window. Temporarily moving my local /usr/bin/xauth leads to this message in addition: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 Since there's a window popping up at all, I doubt this is directly related to the problem getting the viewer to run. However, on systems *with* xauth installed 'echo $DISPLAY' shows a value, but on those *without* xauth, $DISPLAY is null. (So why am I getting any sort of X popup at all in that case?) Has anyone else seen this, and hopefully have a solution? The problem is actually two-fold: 1. Why 'X11 forwarding failed' and how to get rid of it/revert to behaviour in previous versions; and 2. Why is virt-viewer dying and how to keep it alive. (Again, how to revert to 'it *used* to work' conditions. ;-) ) Thanks! -- #ken B-)} Ken Coar, RHCE, RHCSA, Sanagendamgagwedweinini IT Engineering Tower, Red Hat/RDU "Millennium hand and shrimp!"

[libvirt-users] [LXC][Openstack] Clarifications needed on usage of libvirt-lxc for openstack
by Sujay M 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Hi everyone, I've some doubts regarding the usage/working of libvirt-lxc with openstack. I'm doing a project titled "Low density virtualization for Storage cloud" 1. Can i use libvirt for lxc with Openstack swift alone (excluding nova, glance and keystone)? If no what other openstack components should i use for virtualization? (Is it necessary to install openstack nova to do virtualization with libvirt-lxc?) 2. How virtualization for storage services work ? Any good articles. 3. I want to set up a cloud storage environment with low density virtualization ie lxc. I'm using Openstack swift (Object storage) for storage services. I want to virtualize this. Few resources on how i can do this using libvirt-lxc? -- Best Regards, Sujay M Final year B.Tech Computer Engineering NITK Surathkal contact: +918971897571

[libvirt-users] move VM disk images between storage pools on the same host
by Paul Raines 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

I created a new LVM type storage pool on my server and would like to move my VM disk volumes in a directory-based pool into this new pool. But I cannot figure out how that is done. I find plenty of information on how to migrate live VM images from one host to another, but not on how to just move one live from one storage pool to another on the same host. If it cannot be done live, how an I do it non-live? I guess non-live I could clone, but that would change the MAC address. Just seems that if libvirt can migrate live it should be able to move a VM between storage pools on the same host even easier. --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines http://help.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.

[libvirt-users] Updating an "interface" device has no effect on network filters
by Guido Winkelmann 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Hi, I am trying to update the network filters on running guest machines (qemu backend) without having to restart the domain. Say I have a running domain "test" with this interface: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:84:6d:6d'/> <source bridge='virbr1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='clean-traffic-with-v6'> <parameter name='IP' value='172.18.1.9'/> <parameter name='IPV6' value='fe80::5054:ff:fe84:6d6d'/> <parameter name='MAC' value='52:54:00:84:6d:6d'/> </filterref> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> Now I want that domain to be able to use an additional IP address for some reason, so I write a file uppdevice.xml with this content: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:84:6d:6d'/> <source bridge='virbr1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='clean-traffic-with-v6'> <parameter name='IP' value='172.18.1.9'/> <parameter name='IP' value='172.18.1.10'/> <parameter name='IPV6' value='fe80::5054:ff:fe84:6d6d'/> <parameter name='MAC' value='52:54:00:84:6d:6d'/> </filterref> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> and run update-device test-cpu-restrict2 upddevice.xml in virsh. This appears to work without problems and produces no error messages (it prints "Device updated successfully"), except the ebtables script on the host machine does not get updated after that and consequently, the new IP address is not usable.

[libvirt-users] Failed to access console after launching LXC through libvirt
by unicell 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Hi, I'm trying to manage LXC instances through OpenStack, which use libvirt as a virtualization driver layer. After launching LXC instance, I simply could not attach to the console. virsh # list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 14366 instance-00000078 running virsh # console 14366 Connected to domain instance-00000078 Escape character is ^] And it keeps stuck here. Initially I thought it could be a cgroup device config issue, and tried to "echo ‘c 5:1 rwm' >/cgroup/devices/libvirt/lxc/instance-00000078/devices.allow“, to add /dev/console access right to the container. But it does not work, console stilll not working. Before the cgroup tweaking, devices.list are as follows [root@localhost libvirt]# cat /cgroup/devices/libvirt/lxc/instance-0000007a/devices.list c 1:3 rwm c 1:5 rwm c 1:7 rwm c 1:8 rwm c 1:9 rwm c 5:0 rwm c 5:2 rwm c 136:* rwm I'm not quite sure what kind of issue could possibly cause this console access issue. Cause I'm now using two different guest OS templates on two different host OSes. Following are some symptoms I observed. * (g) for container guest OS * (h) for host OS * NOTE: Ubuntu guest os are generated by lxc-create -t ubuntu, which is an Ubuntu 12.04 based lxc template. CentOS guest os are handcrafted by myself, taking reference of http://wiki.1tux.org/wiki/Lxc/Installation/Guest/Centos/6 1. Ubuntu (g) launched by lxc-start on Ubuntu 12.04 host, console works 2. Ubuntu (g) launched by OpenStack / libvirt on Ubuntu 12.04 host, console works 3. Ubuntu (g) launched by OpenStack / libvirt on CentOS 6.3 host, console NOT works 4. CentOS (g) launched by lxc-start on Ubuntu 12.04 host, console works 5. CentOS (g) launched by OpenStack / libvirt on Ubuntu12.04 host, console NOT works 6. CentOS (g) launched by OpenStack / libvirt on CentOS 6.3 host, console NOT works So somehow I feel it could be something related to LXC template rootfs, but Host OS do make a difference (2 vs. 3). lxc-start / libvirt also makes a difference (4 vs. 5), but that might be caused by cgroup setting. Could someone shed me some clues to further digging this issue? Thanks! -- Qiu Yu

[libvirt-users] OpenStack+libvirt+lxc: lxcContainerGetSubtree:1199 : Failed to read /proc/mounts
by unicell 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, I'm running OpenStack on CentOS 6.3 to manage lxc instances. And running into series of problem relating libvirt and lxc interaction. For example, libvirt_lxc segfault ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874549) which has an upstream fix. And another bugs such as fail to start when SELinux disabled. Finally, I decides to adopt libvirt 0.10.2, self compiled from libvirt-0.10.2-1.fc17.src.rpm. And now coming across following message when starting lxc container. lxcContainerGetSubtree:1199 : Failed to read /proc/mounts: No such file or directory Could it be something related to my container template setting? Or host setting? Or simply just another bug? I'm not a libvirt guy, so please, do shed me some lights on how to fix it.

[libvirt-users] Problems when filtering on icmpv6
by Guido Winkelmann 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, I am trying to prevent my qemu guest machines from sending IPv6 router advertisements over their network device. To that end, I have written this filter definition: <filter name='no-ipv6-router-advertisement' chain='root' priority='-690'> <rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='600'> <icmpv6 type='134'/> </rule> <rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='600'> <icmpv6 type='153'/> </rule> </filter> As soon as I try to use this filter, though, I get the following error (in virsh): error: Error while building firewall: Some rules could not be created for interface vnet0: Failure to execute command '$IPT -A libvirt-out -m physdev -- physdev-out vnet0 -g FP-vnet0' : 'ip6tables: No chain/target/match by that name.'. I am (trying to) use this filter by including it in here: <filter name='clean-traffic-with-v6' chain='root'> <filterref filter='no-mac-spoofing'/> <filterref filter='no-ip-spoofing'/> <filterref filter='no-dhcp-server'/> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='-650'> <mac protocolid='ipv4'/> </rule> <filterref filter='allow-incoming-ipv4'/> <filterref filter='no-ipv6-spoofing'/> <filterref filter='no-ipv6-router-advertisement'/> <filterref filter='no-dhcpv6-server'/> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='-600'> <mac protocolid='ipv6'/> </rule> <filterref filter='allow-incoming-ipv6'/> <filterref filter='no-arp-spoofing'/> <rule action='accept' direction='inout' priority='-500'> <mac protocolid='arp'/> </rule> <filterref filter='no-other-l2-traffic'/> <filterref filter='qemu-announce-self'/> </filter> Without the line <filterref filter='no-ipv6-router-advertisement'/> this filter works fine. When running a domain with this filter without the no-ipv6-router- advertisement filterref, my ip6tables look like this: # ip6tables-save # Generated by ip6tables-save v1.4.13 on Wed Nov 7 17:46:32 2012 *mangle :PREROUTING ACCEPT [146:12680] :INPUT ACCEPT [103:9704] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [172:14184] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [172:14184] COMMIT # Completed on Wed Nov 7 17:46:32 2012 # Generated by ip6tables-save v1.4.13 on Wed Nov 7 17:46:32 2012 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :libvirt-host-in - [0:0] :libvirt-in - [0:0] :libvirt-in-post - [0:0] :libvirt-out - [0:0] -A INPUT -j libvirt-host-in -A FORWARD -j libvirt-in -A FORWARD -j libvirt-out -A FORWARD -j libvirt-in-post COMMIT # Completed on Wed Nov 7 17:46:32 2012 This is with libvirt 0.10.2. Does anybody have an idea what is happening here or how I could debug this further? Regards, Guido

[libvirt-users] CPU Mode= Host passthrough
by Michael Beham 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi, I´m doing some research on Nested Virtualization with KVM and Xen. My cpu on bare-metal system is a Opteron_G4 --> (AMD Opteron 4280). qemu-version 1.0; libvirt 0.9.12 For nesting KVM in KVM I´m adding the <cpu mode='host-passthrough'/> command to the XML-File of the VM on Layer 0. So I´m able to install KVM in KVM and create nested guests at Layer 2. L2 --> Nested VM L1 --> KVM / XEN L0 --> KVM If i try the same with installing Xen in the VM on Layer 1 Xen don´t boot and I get following error: Panic on CPU 0: GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT [error_code=0000] If I remove <cpu mode='host-passthrough'/> command from the VM´s XML Xen boot is successful and Nesting Xen in KVM works! May this problem depends on the following problem --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804224

[libvirt-users] virsh vol-create-as failing on NFS automount for chmod (dynamic_ownership = 0)
by Joe Linoff 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi Everyone: I am trying to create a volume using the vol-create-as command but it fails with an "Operation not permitted" error. It appears to be caused by an attempt to run chown on an NFS mounted file system but I have set dynamic_ownership to 0 in /etc/qemu.conf. Is it possible to disable the chown operation? If not, is there a guide that describes how to create storage pools on NFS filers? I have read http://libvirt.org/storage.html but there was no discussion of to work around this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the command and error message: $ virsh vol-create-as default webtst 10G error: Failed to create vol webtst error: cannot create path '/var/lib/libvirt/images/webtst': Operation not permitted The /var/lib/libvirt/images is linked to a common filer: /shared/vm/images. The permissions on the directory are 0777. When I looked at tail /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log it showed that the problem was occurring because a chown command: 2012-11-05 02:55:44.841+0000: 26384: info : libvirt version: 0.9.10, package: 21.el6_3.5 (CentOS BuildSystem <http://bugs.centos.org>, 2012-10-11-13:57:12, c6b9.bsys.dev.centos.org) 2012-11-05 02:55:44.841+0000: 26384: error : virFileOpenForceOwnerMode:796 : cannot chown '/var/lib/libvirt/images/webtst' to (0, 0): Operation not permitted 2012-11-05 02:55:44.841+0000: 26384: error : virStorageBackendCreateRaw:401 : cannot create path '/var/lib/libvirt/images/webtst': Operation not permitted Regards, Joe

[libvirt-users] hotplug

Another separate thread for a slightly separate issue. For some reason, hotplugging disks does not work for me. I built my guest with ubuntu's vmbuilder. It's Precise, virtual. I have acpiphp in my /etc/modules file: $ lsmod Module Size Used by psmouse 97443 0 serio_raw 13211 0 virtio_balloon 13108 0 acpiphp 24231 0 floppy 70365 0 hotplug_pci seems to be compiled into the kernel: $ grep HOTPLUG_PCI /boot/config-3.2.0-32-virtual CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE=y CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=y CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_FAKE=m CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI_IBM=m CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI=y CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI_ZT5550=m CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI_GENERIC=m CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC=m But when I attach a disk, absolutely nothing happens in the guest. No messages in the logs, no change to /proc/partitions, no new device nodes. When I reboot, the disk appears. Any ideas? Thanks, Douglas
