[libvirt-users] build error on CentOS 5
by Ben Clay 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

I'm getting the following error when building libvirt 10.2 from source in CentOS 5: CC libvirt_util_la-processinfo.lo util/processinfo.c: In function 'virProcessInfoGetAffinity': util/processinfo.c:164: error: invalid operands to binary | The line in question is: 162 for (i = 0 ; i < maxcpu ; i++) 163 if (CPU_ISSET(i, &mask)) 164 VIR_USE_CPU(map, i); Where VIR_USE_CPU is defined as the following in libvirt.h: #define VIR_USE_CPU(cpumap,cpu) (cpumap[(cpu)/8] |= (1<<((cpu)%8))) I have glibc 2.5 installed, which is why CPU_ALLOC is undefined (added in 2.7). I'm also using a custom 2.6.32 kernel. I can provide configure output and any additional system details if necessary. Has anyone else seen this? Ben Clay rbclay(a)ncsu.edu

[libvirt-users] numa topology within domain XML
by Geert Geurts 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hello all, I'm trying to setup a NUMA topology identical as the machine which hosts the qemu-kvm VirtualMachine. numactl -H on the host: available: 8 nodes (0-7) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 node 0 size: 8189 MB node 0 free: 7581 MB node 1 cpus: 6 7 8 9 10 11 node 1 size: 8192 MB node 1 free: 7061 MB node 2 cpus: 12 13 14 15 16 17 node 2 size: 8192 MB node 2 free: 6644 MB node 3 cpus: 18 19 20 21 22 23 node 3 size: 8192 MB node 3 free: 7747 MB node 4 cpus: 24 25 26 27 28 29 node 4 size: 8192 MB node 4 free: 7388 MB node 5 cpus: 30 31 32 33 34 35 node 5 size: 8192 MB node 5 free: 7593 MB node 6 cpus: 36 37 38 39 40 41 node 6 size: 8192 MB node 6 free: 3848 MB node 7 cpus: 42 43 44 45 46 47 node 7 size: 8192 MB node 7 free: 7502 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0: 10 16 16 22 16 22 16 22 1: 16 10 22 16 22 16 22 16 2: 16 22 10 16 16 22 16 22 3: 22 16 16 10 22 16 22 16 4: 16 22 16 22 10 16 16 22 5: 22 16 22 16 16 10 22 16 6: 16 22 16 22 16 22 10 16 7: 22 16 22 16 22 16 16 10 I would like to use 2 numanodes for one VM but somehow the virsh edit DOMAIN command doesn't apply the changes I make... I tried specifying the numa topology within the <topology> sub-section of the <cpu> section as in: <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>Opteron_G4</model> <vendor>AMD</vendor> <topology sockets='1' cores='6' threads='2'> <cells num='2'> <cell id='0'> <cpus num='6'> <cpu id='0'/> <cpu id='1'/> <cpu id='2'/> <cpu id='3'/> <cpu id='4'/> <cpu id='5'/> </cpus> </cell> <cell id='1'> <cpus num='6'> <cpu id='6'/> <cpu id='7'/> <cpu id='8'/> <cpu id='9'/> <cpu id='10'/> <cpu id='11'/> </cpus> </cell> </cells> </topology> <feature policy='require' name='nodeid_msr'/> <feature policy='require' name='wdt'/> <feature policy='require' name='skinit'/> <feature policy='require' name='ibs'/> <feature policy='require' name='osvw'/> <feature policy='require' name='cr8legacy'/> <feature policy='require' name='extapic'/> <feature policy='require' name='cmp_legacy'/> <feature policy='require' name='fxsr_opt'/> <feature policy='require' name='mmxext'/> <feature policy='require' name='osxsave'/> <feature policy='require' name='monitor'/> <feature policy='require' name='ht'/> <feature policy='require' name='vme'/> </cpu> I tried specifying each numa cell using a <numa></numa> section as in: <numa> <cell cpus='0-5' memory='7596032'/> <cell cpus='6-11' memory='7596032'/> </numa> In both situation virsh says it successfully applied the edit, but when I edit it again right after that the changes have been removed and the numa topology in the VM is one node with all cores. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Oooh, by the way, I'm using libvirt 0.10.2-0rc2 and qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.2 on a Scientific linux 6.2 machine. Thanks! Best regards, Geert Geurts

[libvirt-users] SCSI/IDE Devices in Guest
by Douglas Russell 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

I'm experimenting with how to attach storage to a guest virtual machine (I sent another message to th elist about that as it's slightly different) Looking in the XML files for my virtual machine, I see this: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/vm/myvm/tmpeuiVc9.qcow2'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> However, /dev/hda is not a device in the guest. It is /dev/sda. It's not really a problem in it's own right, but it's one of several connected things which don't make sense. Is there some explanation for this? I believe this is linked to some weirdness when I attach some extra storage like so: virsh attach-disk myvm /dev/lvm-group1/mystorage sdb --driver qemu --persistent This adds the following stanza: <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/lvm-group1/mystorage'/> <target dev='sdb' bus='scsi'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='1'/> </disk> Looks about right. In the guest though, it pushes /dev/sda (root and swap are here on sda1 and sda2) upto /dev/sdb (sdb1 and sdb2). Somehow it still boots correctly despite fstab referrencing /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 for / and swap. The new /dev/sda is this storage I tried to add as sdb. What could be causing this? Thanks, Douglas

I have checked that I removed all distro things, ran self-built virsh, libvirtd. To make sure, I use absolute paths for running. Also I will check process status in time.

I have checked that all related files are under the directory-"/usr/local/libvirt", additionally, libvirtd's path is "/usr/local/libvirt/sbin/libvirtd".
