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] Fake Network Interface
by Andrew Martin 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hello, Is there a supported method for creating a fake network interface in a VM's configuration file? I was using the below construct, however it is no longer working for me in recent versions of libvirt (libvirt 1.0.2 with qemu-kvm 1.4.0). Is there a different, preferred method for creating a fake virtual interface on the guest which does not exist on the host? <interface type='network'> <mac address='aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa'/> <source network='fake'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> Thanks, Andrew

[libvirt-users] --persistent/--config confusion
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hi, I'm wondering how to attach a network device properly to a domain. According to the man page without "--config" a device created with "attach-device" will be added to the domain yet with "--config" it will only be added to the config and only be available after a restart of the guest. Is there no way to attach the device immediately *and* also make that change persistent? Regards, Dennis

[libvirt-users] Connect libvirt to iSCSI target
by Marco 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

Hi! I'm new to libvirt and face problems connecting to an iSCSI target. What I intend to do is to connect libvirt (I tried virt-manager and virsh) to an iSCSI target and then boot from the LUNs which contain the VMs. I followed the documentation¹ but got stuck at section 12.1.5.4.3. 1) virsh pool-define-as \ --name foo \ --type iscsi \ --source-host vmhost \ --source-dev iqn.2013-11.vmhost:vmpool \ --target /dev/disk/by-path 2) virsh pool-start foo error: Failed to start pool foo error: internal error: cannot find session virsh -c qemu:///system pool-start foo error: Failed to start pool foo error: internal error: cannot find session Why can't libvirt find the session, and which session? Running iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal vmhost:3260,1 succeeds and lists the targets. How to connect libvirt to the iSCSI target?

[libvirt-users] Live migration without block copy
by Paul Mathews 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

Hello all, I'm trying to get live migration without block copying working in a custom solution, but I think I need a better understanding of the migration process. In my environment, I have two iscsi targets exported which are then placed into a raid via mdadm on the compute node. I've tried using the already exposed hook on stop to disassemble and re-export storage, and I also made my own when the source hits perform3_done phase, but at that point the md device is still locked. It seems like there should be a time in a live migration where both instances are in a paused state and everything has been flushed to disk, I'm just not familiar enough with the code to determine where that is. -Paul

[libvirt-users] man page
by Fl＠sh 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

It seems to me that the man page is not complete. Personally, I had to read the code to understand. Propose to amend paragraph of included files on: -i GUEST-PATH=HOST-PATH, --include GUEST-PATH=HOST-PATH File (HOST-PATH) to copy into custom dir (GUEST-PATH). -I HOST-PATH, --includefile=HOST-PATH Copy all files listed in inputfile into the appropriate temporary sandbox directories. File should contain a line like: GUEST-PATH=HOST-PATH Directory (or subdirectory) of GUEST-PATH path must to exist in the guest filesystem (use --mount) Maybe I misunderstood how to use inclusion, but it says even more about what leadership should be written in detail. P.S. On the use of the network too. -- F1ash

by Satvinder Gunsi 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hello All, I am trying following steps: 1. Untar a gzip image 2. virsh create NAME.xml ( for the image) 3. virsh console NAME The above steps are done for four times on different files. In step 3 above for one out of four VMs (usually the first one), when I try to login:, typing the first letter of password brings me back to "login:" prompt. Then for the next four tries "each" letter moves me from "login" to "password:" and back to "login:" I also see following error in libvirtd.log for each console login attempt. 25446: error : daemonStreamHandleAbort:609 : stream aborted at client request My libvirt version is: libvirtd (libvirt) 1.0.2 OS: FC16 Important: If I destroy the VM and bring it up again, then I donot see this issue and am able to successfully login. Can somebody help in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance, Regards, Satvinder

[libvirt-users] How to attach USB disk to specified USB controller in domian?
by Jianwei Hu 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi guys, I want to attach a few USB disks to specified USB controller in domain on libvirt layer, but I didn't find any method to deal with it. Anyone can help me on that? I added some USB type disk to my domain, started it, I found all USB disk had been attached to same USB controller automatically, I want to assign some USB disks to another controller manually but I can't find the entry. qemu-kvm has provided command line to support it by using "bus" argument.(like: device_add usb-storage,id=my_usb_disk,drive=my_usb_disk,bus=usb.0 ) Action steps: 1. Add some USB disks to domain xml, <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/usb-img/usb-1.img'/> <target dev='sda' bus='usb'/> <alias name='usb-disk0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/usb-img/usb-2.img'/> <target dev='sdb' bus='usb'/> <alias name='usb-disk1'/> </disk> ... 2. Added more than 2 USB controller to domain xml <controller type='usb' index='0'> <alias name='usb0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='1'> <alias name='usb1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='2'> <alias name='usb2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='3'> <alias name='usb3'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </controller> 3.

[libvirt-users] assign static external IP to container
by scar 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

hello i have a server colocated in a datacenter with several external IP addresses available to use. the physical server is using one of these IPs, and i want to assign another, unused IP to the virtual machine. i thought i could just do this by editing the container's /etc/network/interfaces, setting a static IP address for eth0 much like i did for br0 on the host machine.... but doesn't seem to be working. ifconfig shows eth0 has the external address but i can't resolve any hostnames nor telnet to a direct IP address (no route to host). if i change back to dhcp and let eth0 get an internal address, i can at least access the internet but cannot access the virtual machine from the internet. what is the trick to giving a VM a routable, external IP address? thanks

[libvirt-users] blockcopy for libvirt and version compatibility
by Mark Trinh 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

I'm currently running: virsh --version 1.0.2 libvirtd --version libvirtd (libvirt) 1.0.2 I have a couple questions. 1. Can I upgrade my libvirt.so version to use with an older libvirtd? In other words, does the versions of libvirt and libvirtd need to be in lock step? 2. I'm able to use virsh blockcopy, but I want to do it programmatically via C. I looked through the API and was not able to see any references to that. I did see mention of virDomainBlockCopy on the TIP of the git repository, but no other references to it. How do I run virsh blockcopy via a C function?

[libvirt-users] About debugging of libvirt.

19 Dec '13

i am using libvirt-1.1.4 with xen(libxl). When destroying the VM its showing the following error : virsh # destroy 4 error: Failed to destroy domain 4 error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error error: One or more references were leaked after disconnect from the hypervisor error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor virsh # list error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no valid connection error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused already i send one request to this community to solve this problem. they suggested to do gdb. Any guide to do the gdb libvirtd. By googling i did the following things: 1. i enable the logoutput and loglevel in libvirtd.conf 2. restarted the libvirtd with the changed configuration file. 3. ps -aux | grep libvirtd 4. gdb libvirtd pid 5. then what i have to do to find the reason for this error. Suggest me some steps to solve this problem. regards, cooldharma06.

[libvirt-users] fuse in libivrt-lxc
by Eldar Yusupov 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi, I created an LXC domain via libvirt (on Fedora 20), but when I'm trying to mount a FUSE filesystem, like sshfs, I'm getting a following error: $ sshfs 172.30.15.2:/<mntdir> /<mntpoint> fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first I see that there's no /dev/fuse device. Is there a way to make it work? Can I get it working via libvirt domain xml file settings or should I use something else, for example, edit cgroups settings directly somehow? Thanks in advance! -- -- Regards, Eldar Yusupov.

[libvirt-users] QXL and VRAM settings in Virsh/Virt-Manager
by Alex GS 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hello list, Having a bit of an issue with virt-manager and virsh on Fedora 19/20. I've created several virtual guest machines, one of them is Windows. I've selected QXL and everything is working normally. The only part that's giving me trouble is that I'm unable to set the QXL VRAM higher than 64mb. This would be very useful for performance reasons. I've edited the XML for the corresponding machines and manually set the VRAM higher but when I start the machine with either virsh or virt-manager it defaults to 64mb again. Questions: 1. How can I set the QXL VRAM higher than the default 64mb? 2. Does the VRAM size even matter for guest video performance or does guest video share RAM from the total virtual RAM allocated? Thank you, AGS

[libvirt-users] BZ1042505: Upon assigning addresses to new virtio-serial ports, libvirt can over-allocate
by Jonathan Lebon 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hello, (Not sure if this would be better suited for libvir-list, but here it goes!) I filed a bug last week regarding the way in which libvirt assigns addresses to virtio-serial ports. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1042505 To summarize, adding more than 31 ports causes problems because libvirt assigns them all to a single controller, which has a max of 31 (or less if the controller has a ports attribute). I was wondering, in general (eg. for things other than virtio-serial ports), are address assignments done by libvirt considered 'best efforts' (ie. we don't guarantee that it will work) or part of the 'promise' to the [API] user? (Ie. it should always result in a functioning virtual machine) I might be interested in working on a patch for this if it is considered worthwhile. Cheers, Jonathan

Hi all. I have very special task - i have some vps on kvm, that sometimes needs external support help (administration). But i can't trust external workers and need to known what files are changed. As i understand best of all - create backup before work and after. After that check it for difference and decide apply this work or not. Vps need to run all time. (no downtime for work). How can i do that and what tools i need to use? Is that possible? Thanks for all answers. -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru jabber: vase(a)selfip.ru

[libvirt-users] First & long question
by Joaquim Barrera 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hello everybody! /(First I need to apologize becase I mussunderstood the prupose of libvirt-list and I sent this mail there instead of this list)/ I would like to introduce myself, as this is my first contact with libvirt mailing list (although I've been reading quite a lot of documentation). My name is Joaquim Barrera, from Barcelona, Catalonia. I am a computer engineer and recently I joined a research group here in the university. My task is related to VM migration and management, and since then (a couple of months) I've been trying to figure some things up. Now I need to go one step forward, and I would like to set up a nice dev environment to try some modifications we want to make to libvirt, such as new API or migration-related-stuff. Although I am familiar with linux environrment and programming, I am not really quite familiar with this kind of, may I say, professional development, and there are some issues I need to solve before start writting code. Some of this issues you'll find not relevant or newbie stuff, but I assure you I tried lots of times before coming here. :-) Here is what I got following the instructions in http://libvirt.org/compiling.html $ ./autogen.sh --system $ make After make finishes I have compiled 1.2.0 libvirt in the source tree, and if I execute 'sudo ./run tools/virsh version' I get a this answer: /Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.0// //Using library: libvirt 1.2.0// //Using API: QEMU 1.2.0// //Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.5.0/ (/note that now I need to run virsh with sudo, I don't know exactly why/) So far, so good. I guess that, with --system flag, 1.2.0 custom libvirt uses config files from standard directories such as /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, and if I used a custom directory instead, I would have to redefine my VMs, am I right? Problems come when I want to use custom 1.2.0 daemon. If I execute "sudo service libvirt-bin stop" followed by "./daemon/libvirtd -d", then custom virsh gives me this error: /error: failed to connect to the hypervisor// //error: no valid connection// //error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory/ And I need to kill custom daemon and restart 1.1.1 libvirtd to recover from this. Any advice? Finally (sorry about this large mail), there is one thing that does bother me quite a lot. Using custom virsh, command history seems to vanish, as I press Arrow-UP and I get "^[[A" in the screen, instead of last command used. Tell me, please, that this is just some silly config I need to adjust... :_( The final comment is, am I following the right direction to be able to develop something with libvirt? :_) Ok, that's all for now, thank you A LOT for your time. Joaquim.
