[libvirt-users] Building XML from working qemu command-line for ARM virtio
by Clark Laughlin 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

Hello, I've got a working QEMU command line that I am trying to get into a libvirt dom xml and using domxml-from-native doesn't seem to know how to handle all of it. It's for ARM using some new virtio syntax: qemu-system-arm -machine virt -cpu cortex-a15 -enable-kvm -m 512 -kernel mach-virt-guest-3.11-zImage -display none -serial stdio -netdev type=user,id=mynet -device virtio-net-device,netdev=mynet -drive index=0,id=mydrive,file=saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf.img -device virtio-blk-device,drive=mydrive -initrd saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf-initrd-lpae -append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda" Does anyone have any suggestions for converting the rest of it, specifically the -netdev, -drive, and -device params? Here is what domxml-from-native gives: <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> <name>unnamed</name> <uuid>fab06af7-aa37-45ca-ac4b-85d9bec89e52</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>524288</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <os> <type machine='virt'>hvm</type> <kernel>mach-virt-guest-3.11-zImage</kernel> <initrd>saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf-initrd-lpae</initrd> <cmdline>console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda</cmdline> </os> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>cortex-a15</model> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/home/linaro/ubuntu-cloud-image/qemu-system-arm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='ide' index='0'/> <controller type='usb' index='0'/> <serial type='stdio'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='stdio'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='sdl'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'/> </devices> <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-display'/> <qemu:arg value='none'/> <qemu:arg value='-netdev'/> <qemu:arg value='type=user,id=mynet'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='virtio-net-device,netdev=mynet'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='virtio-blk-device,drive=mydrive'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> Thank you, Clark L

[libvirt-users] libvirtError: Unable to add bridge br0 port vnet0: Operation not supported
by Maciej Gałkiewicz 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

Hi I am using Libvirt 1.1.2 with Openstack Havana (RC2, nova-network) and openvswitch 1.4.2+git20120612-9.1. Libvirt vif driver ( nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtGenericVIFDriver) generates config likes this: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='fa:16:3e:44:30:a4'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='nova-instance-instance-000003d8-fa163e0b07a7'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> and instance fails to start with: 2013-10-16 11:16:13.004+0000: 11943: info : virNetDevProbeVnetHdr:122 : Enabling IFF_VNET_HDR 2013-10-16 11:16:13.105+0000: 11943: error : virNetDevBridgeAddPort:370 : Unable to add bridge br0 port vnet0: Operation not supported If I add <virtualport type='openvswitch' /> inside <interface type='bridge'>...</interface> it seems to work fine. Is it nova-network or libvirt bug or some misconfiguration? regards -- Maciej Gałkiewicz Shelly Cloud Sp. z o. o., Sysadmin http://shellycloud.com/, macias(a)shellycloud.com KRS: 0000440358 REGON: 101504426

[libvirt-users] libvirt_lxc: "reboot -f" causes libvirt_lxc process to stop, but domain is still "running" for libvirt
by Florian Klink 16 Oct '13

16 Oct '13

Hi, I have a libvirt_lxc system container (with systemd). After running "reboot -f" inside the container, I get "Rebooting.\n". htop shows that the libvirt_lxc and all subprocesses are stopped, but from libvirt api/virsh/virt-manager, the domain is still "running". So it looks like libvirtd doesn't detect that libvirt_lxc process was stopped... Florian

[libvirt-users] qemuMonitorIO internal error
by Francois Gaudreault 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hi, I am trying to get some VMs running under qemu-kvm. At some point the VM starts, but then they shutdown by themselves and I see those messages in the log: 2013-10-11 18:28:57.165+0000: 4148: error : qemuMonitorIO:615 : internal error: End of file from monitor 2013-10-11 18:28:57.165+0000: 4148: debug : qemuMonitorIO:648 : Error on monitor internal error: End of file from monitor Any ideas what could cause this behavior? I am running Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 with libvirt 1.1.1 and qemu-kvm 1.5.0. -- Francois Gaudreault Architecte de Solution Cloud | Cloud Solutions Architect fgaudreault(a)cloudops.com 514-629-6775 - - - CloudOps 420 rue Guy Montréal QC H3J 1S6 www.cloudops.com @CloudOps_

[libvirt-users] virDomainGetCPUStats missing in Java API bindings ?
by Atul Gosain 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hi All I am trying to get the performance statistics for KVM using Java bindings. I found some api's for getting memory stats but not able to find any for cpu stats. I found virDomainGetCPUStats which look like its going to return cpu stats for a VM at http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html and http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html . I couldnt find these methods getting called from java source too. Which libvirt version does Java API correspond to ? I m using Java API 0.5.1 . If i want to get the virDomainGetCPUStats which is available from 0.9.x versions of libvirt, whats the way to get it in Java API bindings. Thanks Atul

[libvirt-users] event handler
by Alexandr 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

good day to all. i still have not solved my problem with event handling. currently i have following code void libvirt_eventloop_thr_func() { while(true) //TODO: stop somehow on exit { if(virEventRunDefaultImpl() < 0) { virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError(); fprintf(stderr, "Failed to run event loop: %s\n", err && err->message ? err->message : "Unknown error"); } } } ... virSetErrorFunc(NULL, libvirt_error_handler); libvirt_connection = virConnectOpen("qemu:///system"); if (virEventRegisterDefaultImpl() < 0) { virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError(); fprintf(stderr, "Failed to register event implementation: %s\n", err && err->message ? err->message: "Unknown error"); return -1; } { int callback = virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(libvirt_connection, NULL, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK(domain_event_handler), NULL, NULL); if(callback == -1) { std::cout<<"Error: failed to register domain event handle callback\n"; return -1; } } boost::thread(boost::bind(&libvirt_eventloop_thr_func)); ... libvirt_eventloop_thr_func() called, and locked on virEventRunDefaultImpl(), can it be called in thread, and if no, how should i use it correctly ? sorry for asking again, but i really can't solve it myself. thx in advance.

[libvirt-users] migrate & virtlockd
by NEVEU Stephane 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hi all, I'm testing virtlockd with libvirt 1.1.3 and it seems I can't migrate my VMs from the first to my second kvm node (on a NFS storage). Virtlockd is locking my qcow2 : Error : resource busy Lockspace resource 'ea3jkj78.....' is locked As a result my VM is paused. How can I fix this behavior ? Thank you for your help.
