[libvirt-users] Query:: Reg: Libvirt Networking
by Nehal J Wani
Currently, I have two networks configured via xml:
virsh # net-dumpxml TestNetwork1
<network connections='2'>
<name>TestNetwork1</name>
<uuid>a76f665a-0196-4edb-81b4-340944a6869c</uuid>
<forward dev='p1p1' mode='nat'>
<nat>
<port start='1024' end='65535'/>
</nat>
<interface dev='p1p1'/>
</forward>
<bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0'/>
<mac address='52:54:00:0b:e9:35'/>
<ip address='192.168.100.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
<dhcp>
<range start='192.168.100.128' end='192.168.100.254'/>
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
virsh # net-dumpxml default6
<network connections='1'>
<name>default6</name>
<uuid>6e57d831-f09e-4b33-950d-6d51c89f9786</uuid>
<forward mode='nat'/>
<bridge name='virbr3' stp='on' delay='0'/>
<mac address='52:54:00:cb:c5:50'/>
<ip family='ipv6' address='2001:db8:ca2:2::1' prefix='64'>
<dhcp>
<range start='2001:db8:ca2:2:1::10' end='2001:db8:ca2:2:1::ff'/>
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
virbr0 8000.5254000be935 yes virbr0-nic
vnet0
vnet1
virbr3 8000.525400cbc550 yes virbr3-nic
vnet2
My queries are:
(i) For each interface that I attach to my guests, will a new vnetX
(X=0,1,2,3,...) be created?
(ii) Can two different active networks share the same bridge? Example, can
the xml of two active networks have the same line <bridge name='virbr0'
stp='on' delay='0'/> ?
(iii) If the answer for (ii) is false, how can I obtain the interface name
for a given bridge name in libvirt?

[libvirt-users] centos4.8 system container not working on fedora 19 machine
by Rahul Khengare
Hi All,
I am trying to evaluate whether centos-4.8 system container work on
Fedora-19 machine or not.
Host machine : Fedora 19
Guest (LXC container) : CentOS4 .8
For creation of of container i followed following steps,
1. Installed libvirt packages on fedora19
2. For installation of rootfs using yum, I have created the LOCAL
YUM REPO using CentOS-4.8 ISO files
3. Created rootfs using yum
4. Made changes in container xml file required for system container
5 .Define container using container xml file
Whenever I start system container it get started successfully but when I am
trying to access it using console then It show errors regarding /etc/fstab
files and filesystem corruption. I am not able to access the container.
Refer below for container xml file and error message,
contents of xml file for Centos container, *Centos4_8.xml:*

[libvirt-users] how to install libvirt-python
by Mahmood Naderan
Hi,
I have successfully installed libvirt-.0.10.0 from source
./configure
make
make install
How can I check that if libvirt-python is installed? Search the folders, it seems there is no such file
[root@tiger ~]# find /usr/ -name libvirt-python
[root@tiger ~]# find . -name libvirt-python
[root@tiger ~]#

[libvirt-users] how to use virtio-blk-data-plane in libvirt
by Hui Kai Ran
Hi,
I learned that there is a new technology - virtio-blk-data-plane
introduced in qemu to bring a leap in IO performance to KVM. Has this
feature been supported in libvirt? if it's, how to configure xml to
support this feature?
thanks.

[libvirt-users] libvirt-sandbox on Ubuntu with SELinux
by boden
I'm attempting to build/use libvirt-sandbox on Ubuntu 12.xx. Although
I'm still working through dependency issues (including the need for
libvirt >= 1.0.2 which is not packaged for ubuntu 12.xx) to build the
sandbox code, I have a forward looking question.
It appears libvirt-bin for Ubuntu likes apparmor as does most Ubuntu
based packages using a LSM impl. However, as I understand
libvirt-sandbox is integrated with SELinux to provide security isolation
of containers...
My question becomes -- *should* libvirt-sandbox work on Ubuntu assuming
I use the ubuntu libvirt-bin package and replace apparmor with selinux?
Or am I flat out walking into quicksand on Ubuntu here?
Without the security aspect of libvirt-sandbox, I wonder if its viable
on ubuntu for those looking to mitigate container security?
Thanks

Hello,
When I want to install libvirt-0.10.0 from source, I get this error at the configure stage
checking for libdevmapper.h... no
configure: error: You must install device-mapper-devel/libdevmapper >= 1.0.0 to compile libvirt
However the package is installed on my system

What is the problem then?

[libvirt-users] Failed to access the console after starting the lxc container

Hello,
I am starting the system container without "/" directory So that it can
share the host /bin /sbin /lib and /lib64 and i have sepeartely mounted
/var, /etc and /usr directory for the container
Below is xml file

when i start the container it get start , but when i try to access console
it get stuck
virsh # list

Escape character is ^]
But when i mount the "/" in xml it works, i have also share host
/bin,/sbin, /lib and /lib64.
<domain type='lxc'>

<target dir='/dev/shm'/>
</filesystem>
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='br0' />
</interface>
</devices>
</domain>
as i am new , can anyone explain me why my test6 container get stuck?
And in system container if we need to share host filesystem y we need to
mount them explicitly?

[libvirt-users] virsh and multi source-dev
by Matthieu Simonin
Hi,
I'm using LVM based storage pools and I'm wondering
if there is a way to specify several source-dev on the command line
for creating a volume group spread over several devices :
one device /dev/sdc1 is ok:
* virsh pool-define-as --name lvmpool --type logical --source-dev /dev/sdc1 --source-name vg --target /dev/vg
I would like something like (but sadly doesn't work):
? virsh pool-define-as --name lvmpool --type logical --source-dev /dev/sdc1 --source-dev /dev/sdb1 --source-name vg --target /dev/vg ?
Best regards,
Matt
