Hello, I am managing several virtual machines (a predefined set) with virsh, and I would like to make sure that all VMs are booted when the host reboots. What is the recommended approach for this? Thanks, Daniel Gonzalez

[libvirt-users] PCI-X card controlled by VM
by Daniel Gonzalez 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi all, I have a PCI-X card which I would like to assign to one of my VM guests. Is there any way, using libvirt, of completely bypassing the host system, and routing all PCI-X interaction (drivers, interrupts, general ownership) to one of the VMs? Thanks, Daniel Gonzalez

[libvirt-users] qemu - could not load kernel and dynamic ownership setting
by Shantanu Pavgi 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hi, I am getting following 'qemu: could not load kernel' error while trying to create a new VM using virt-install or virt-manager. The software versions are as follows: CentOS 6.2, Libvirt 0.9.4, qemu-kvm 2:0.12.1.2-2.209.el6_2.1. The qemu.conf has disabled dynamic_ownership setting. The VM instantiation has worked fine before when dynamic_ownership was enabled (default). So is this error related to dynamic ownership being disabled? I appreciate any help on how to debug this error further. Also, is there any documentation on why/when dynamic_ownership setting should be used? We have enabled it to figure this out through some test installs but right now unable to move further with the install step itself. {{{ virt-install --connect qemu:///system \ -n $guestname \ -r 512 \ --vcpus=1 \ --os-type=linux \ --os-variant=rhel6 \ --accelerate \ --graphics vnc,keymap=en-us \ -v \ -w bridge:br1 \ --disk path=$datastore/$guestname.img,size=40 \ -l $repo \ -x "ks=$ksurl/$ksfile ksdevice=eth0 ip=$guestip netmask=$netmask nameserver=$nameserver gateway=$gw" }}} {{{ Starting install...

[libvirt-users] Unable to connect qemu:///system on CentOS 6.2 X86_64
by suyi wang 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Dear all: I ust installed Fedora16Fedora16 X86_64 on my new machine, and then I ran the commands as follows(ran as root): yum install qemu-kvm yum install qemu yum install libvirt yum install virt-manager then I started the libvirtd as follow: /etc/init.d/lbvirtd start So , it ran well. However, after a few days , when I ran the command "virt-manager" , it showed as in the attachment. it seemed that ti cannot connect the hipervisor. Then I did a little test: I ran the conmand "virsh list" , but it didnot work,either. Then I used Python as follows: import libvirt cc = libvirt.open(r'qemu:///system' ) but it didnot work,either. All the test above are under root . I hope that someone can give me some suggestiion. Thanks to all!
