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] libvirt v1.0.2 fails to boot LXC container, but v1.0.0 works
by Dennis Jenkins 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hello. tl;dr = v1.0.0 can boot my LXC containers, v.1.0.1 and v.1.0.2 fails. Paraphrased error message: "lxcContainerMountProcFuse:616 : Failed to mount ..../meminfo" I'd like to know if my host is misconfigured, or my domains, or ... why 1.0.2 and 1.0.1 are not working for me. I've been using libvirt for a while to manage QEMU instances. I have experimented with lxc. Back in October of last year, I had some working LXC containers. I don't recall what version of libvirt I was using at the time. I recently attempted to boot my containers, and they failed (libvirt v1.0.2). I then reverted to v1.0.1 and tried again. Failed with the same result (same error text, just different line numbers). I then reverted to 1.0.0 and my containers boot up just fine. My host runs Gentoo Linux on an Inter core-i5 with 16G ram. I regularly (weekly) apply all available Gentoo updates. I strongly perfer to install all third-party software (including libvirt) from Gentoo portage, not manually from source or git. v1.0.2 is the most recent version available.

[libvirt-users] lxc--sshd
by Brandon Foster 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hey all, I am new to libvirt lxc and am trying to get a container that i can ssh to. So far i've booted up a container and gave it an Ip address, it can ping out and I can ping it but I cannot get ssh to work. When i try to run an ssh command inside the container I get a command not found error. here is my xml file <domain type='lxc'> <name>helloworld</name> <memory>102400</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/bin/sh</init> </os> <devices> <console type='pty'/> <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/export/helloworld/config'/> <target dir='/etc/httpd'/> </filesystem> <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/export/helloworld/data'/> <target dir='/var/www'/> </filesystem> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:5e:02:45'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> <model type='virtio' /> </interface> </devices> </domain> I havent restricted it with busybox for simplicity thinking it was because I wasn't allowing it access to necessary ssh files, but Im not sure what I am missing now. surely someone has done this before. thanks -- Brandon Foster Infrastructure Administrator Liferay, Inc.

Hi Experts, I have libvirt 1.0.2 downloaded and build on my RH. And I also downloaded qemu 1.4.0 and build on this machine. When I tried to start my VM ubuntu12, get error messages: error: Failed to start domain ubuntu12 error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: I have no idea what does this message mean. Could you please help point out what I should do next? Thanks, Conny

[libvirt-users] With no luck with virDomainGetInfo and virDomainMemoryStats for memory usage of a running vm
by 张章 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi, all I am trying to get used memory of a running vm using libvirt and then to calculate the memory usage, but with no luck. 1.The used memory returned by virDomainGetInfo is equal to max memory with no virtio balloon driver set. When using virtio balloon driver and setting currentMemory less than memory in the xml, the used memory returned by virDomainGetInfo is nearly equal to currentMemroy. Again, I can't get the memory used by vm. 2. When I turned to virDomainMemoryStats, I can only get two values : Current balloon value and Resident Set Size of the process running the domain. (for kvm 0.14.1 and libvirt 1.0.2) That's not what I want. I only need to know how much memory used by the running vm, so I can calculate the memory usage of this vm. (like the used memory return by cmd "free -m") Any hints? Many thanks! Z. ZhangNational Research Center for intelligent Computing Systems,ICT, Chinese Academy of Sciences

[libvirt-users] Deleting and coalescing live snapshots
by Skardal, Harald 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

All, I have a service that takes new live KVM snapshots Si regularly, keeps a fixed number N (Si ,..,Si-N+1), and therefore needs to delete Si-N in this cycle. Until libvirt includes support for this capability that is said to be available in qemu, what is a safe workflow to delete old live KVM snapshots w/o losing data. Do I need to pause/shut down the VM? The development environment is Fedora 18 with qemu, libvirtd and libvirt upgrades to the more recent stable versions. Harald Skardal, Stratus Technologies.

[libvirt-users] The accurate CPU usage of a domain?
by 张章 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi,all I want to get a relatively accurate cpu usage of a domain. I have a few questions about virDomainGetInfo: struct virDomainInfo{ unsigned char state : //the running state, one of virDomainState unsigned long maxMem :// the maximum memory in KBytes allowed unsigned long memory :// the memory in KBytes used by the domain unsigned short nrVirtCpu :// the number of virtual CPUs for the domain unsigned long long cpuTime : //the CPU time used in nanoseconds } If a domain is assigned to 4 vcpus and my machine has 6 physical cores, then the cpuTime in virDomainInfo should be the sum of cpu time of the 4 vcpus. When I want to calculate the cpu usage, which of the following is more accurate? 1/4 * cpu time / total time or 4/6 * cpu time / total time or just cpu time / total time regardszhangzhang

Hi all, I am trying to init lxc by libvirt instead of using lxc tools. I have several questions as following: software platform: integrating libvirt-0.10.1 to yocto based on sdk1.3 hardwatre platform: p4080ds steps: root@p4080ds:~# cat > container.xml <<EOF <domain type='lxc'> <name>container</name> <memory>500000</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/bin/sh</init> </os> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> </interface> <console type='pty' /> </devices> </domain> <EOF root@p4080ds:~# libvirtd -d root@p4080ds:~# virsh --connect lxc:/// define container.xml Domain container defined from container.xml root@p4080ds:~# virsh --connect lxc:/// start container error: Failed to start domain container error: internal error Network 'default' is not active. To resolve this issue I change the container.xml to as below: <domain type='lxc'> <name>container</name> <memory>500000</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/bin/sh</init> </os> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <interface type='bridge'> <source network='br0'/> <mac address='00:11:22:34:34:34'/> (I am not sure it will make difference) </interface> <console type='pty' /> </devices> </domain> then error infos as below: root@p4080ds:~# virsh --connect lxc:/// define container.xml error: Failed to define domain from container.xml error: internal error No <source> 'bridge' attribute specified with <interface type='bridge'/> Q1: What an appropriate virtual network is supported by virsh for error mentioned above? Linux container support several types of network such as veth, vlan, macvlan, phys and how to edit different xml file for different network type? Q2: There are two kinds of containers , application container and system container. If using lxc tools, lxc-execute will establish an application container and lxc-create with lxc-start will establish a system container. So with libvirt how to set up these two kinds of containers? by different xml file or by different virsh cmds? Q3: If I want to define a rootfs (such as busybox) for container how I edit the relative xml file? anyone has related infos that can be shared? Q4:Cgroups manage and control resources using for lxc containers. If use libvirt how to realise the similar resource tuning for containers based on PowerPC? There are limited infos at: https://www.berrange.com/posts/2009/12/03/using-cgroups-with-libvirt-and-lx… Regards, Yuejuan

[libvirt-users] VMs XML difinitions can't be recognized after upgrading to libvirt 0.9.13
by Marwan Tanager 27 Feb '13

27 Feb '13

I used to run many VMs on my Ubuntu 10.04 box. However, after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10 (and thus, libvirt 0.9.13), The VMs can't be recognized anymore. Nothing appears in the output of 'virsh list --all', nor in virt-manager. When I created a new VM based on a disk image of one of the not-recognized-any-more VMs, a new schema file has been auto-generated, and the new VM now is recognized. So, if this is caused by incompatibility with the old schemas, would the solution be to manually recreate all the VMs by importing their disk images to the newly created VMs, or is there a more intelligent approach? Thanks for your time. Marwan

[libvirt-users] [libvirt-php] network string name
by Yusof Khalid - FreeBSD / OpenBSD 27 Feb '13

27 Feb '13

Hi list, So this is my first question on this list :) I'm working for my script to get network information for our guest os (Using Xen 3) using PHP libvirt. Just get confused for function libvirt_network_get($res, $name) $name should be network name string as per the doc. What is the value for that ? is it the name in ifconfig list that attach with the guest os e.g vif101 ? Thanks in advance. -- -- 7.2-RELEASE-p6

[libvirt-users] Routed network w/o libvirt adding iptables rules
by Nils Toedtmann 27 Feb '13

27 Feb '13

Hello In the case of a "routed" libvirt network, is there a way to prevent libvirt from adding *any* iptables rules? Or at least to stop libvirt from inserting its rules at the *top* of the chains (which renders previously inserted rules useless)? I have VPN tunnels connecting VMs with each other and with clients, and the default rules generated by libvirt are not right for my use case. The firewall rulesets i actually need are quite simple. I am very happy to manage them outside libvirt. I am thinking of replacing /sbin/iptables with a dummy, but that is a last ressort which i hope is not necessary. Please advise /nils. PS: See also long standing libvirt issues: * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533193 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689377

[libvirt-users] How to add static routes?
by Nils Toedtmann 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

Hello i have several libvirt hosts (CentOS6, kvm), each with an internal libvirt "default" network with "forward mode='route'". I have two questions concerning static routes. To give some context: On each of my libvirt hosts there is a VM acting as a OpenVPN-gateway to the other libvirt hosts. [A] How can i add a persistant static route on the libvirt host to one of its guests? Someone had already asked this on this list in 2011 but apperently did not receive an answer [1]. Likewise, i found that a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-virbr0 does not get applied when libvirt starts its default network. [B] How can i make libvirt's dnsmasq push static routes into the guests? Apperently dnsmasq supports pushing of static routes using DHCP options 33 or 121 [2], e.g. "--dhcp-option=121,x.x.x.x/yy,z.z.z.z". But i did not find how to add that to a libvirt network declaration. I know that if i had [A] working, the host could redirect the IP traffic on behalf of the guests, but i'd like to avoid the resulting extra hop and the flood of ICMP redirects. Please advise. Cheers /nils. [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2011-December/msg00061.html [2] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3442

[libvirt-users] Migrate VM's to different storage pool?
by Jamie Fargen 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

I am searching for directions for using live block migration to copy running vm's to a different storage pool. Example: VM1 running on Host1, the image(s) for VM1 are stored in /var/lib/libvirt/images. I'd like to copy the disk image(s) that VM1 is using to /nfs/images. Without stopping/pausing/powering down the VM. Do you have any examples or documentation of how to accomplish this process? Regards, Jamie Ian Fargen

Hi, I am trying to attach a usb device to my virtualbox node using libvirt. My node is already running, I stop my node and then I am trying to add this usb device. I have a separate xml file defined for usb. It looks like this: *<device> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'> <source> <vendor id='0x4321'/> <product id='0xfeeb'/> </source> </hostdev> </device> * * * I am trying to attach it using code: *conn = libvirt.open("vbox:///session") if conn ==None: print 'Failed to open connection to the hypervisor' sys.exit(1) print 'connected to vbox hypervisor driver' domainInstance = conn.lookupByName('SampleNode') filed = open('/root/testFolder/usbSharedFolder.xml', 'r') config_str = filed.read() libvirt.virDomain.attachDevice(domainInstance, config_str)* When it is executed I am getting an error message saying: *libvir: VirtualBox Driver error : out of memory * * * Even with virsh it is giving the same error. I am using the below command: *attach-device SampleNode /root/testFolder/usbSharedFolder.xml* Can anyone tell me what is going wrong. It is really very important. Please do reply. Thanks in advance.

[libvirt-users] [Q] how to manage Infiniband disk(SRP) volume wit libvirt.
by Hiroyuki Sato 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Dear members. I'm looking for best practice for administration Infiniband SRP volume with libvirt (virsh) How to manage these volumes? * SRP Disk is /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-2766f6c3030303037 or /dev/sdi Now I edited guest domain file with ``virsh edit XXXX'' command and append the following lines. <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-2766f6c3030303037'/> <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </disk> It seems work fine, however I feed it is a little bit slow. Can I attach this volume another(good performance) way? ie. attach as scsi disk. Thank you for your advice. Sincerely. -- Hiroyuki Sato

[libvirt-users] There seems a deadlock in libvirt
by Chun-Hung Chen 07 Feb '13

Hi, all, We were running OpenStack with Ubuntu and libvirt 0.9.10. We found that libvirt monitor command not working well. There were a lot of error in libvirtd.log like this 2013-02-07 06:07:39.000+0000: 18112: error : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:773 : Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock We dig into libvirtd by strace and find one of the thread only have the following command futex(0x7f69ac0ec0ec, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2717, NULL It seems this thread waiting for reply but nothing came back thus other threads would wait for it. We also saw there is a function called virCondWaitUntil(). Is it safe for us to modify the code from virCondWait() to virCondWaitUntil() to prevent such deadlock scenario? Thanks.

[libvirt-users] Live migration: Xen to KVM
by Анатолий Степанов 06 Feb '13

Hello! Is there some way to migrate guest OS from one Xen-host to another KVM-host using libvirt? (live migration is highly desirable) (Both hosts have the same hardware, Xen running in full-virtualized mode.)

[libvirt-users] VMM and puppet/kickstart/vagrant
by Jay Vyas 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

Hi guys: I'd like to "scriptify" my virtual machine manager deployment. In particular id like to 1) Configure a 3 node cluster from an ISO 2) Assign static IPs at the vm level, and have those cascade into /etc/hosts 3) Add storage to each machine in the cluster . 4) Set the memory/CPU# for each machine. Is there a way i can automate this task using VMM, or maybe, using VMM in conjunction with puppet/kickstart/vagrant/?... Thanks -- Jay Vyas http://jayunit100.blogspot.com

[libvirt-users] Managing Live Snapshots with Libvirt 1.0.1
by Andrew Martin 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hello, I recently compiled libvirt 1.0.1 and qemu 1.3.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. I have performed live snapshots on VMs using "virsh snapshot-create-as" and then later re-merge the images together using "virsh blockpull". I am wondering how I can do a couple of other operations on the images while the VM is running. For example, VM1 is running from the snap3 image, with the following snapshot history (backing files): [orig] <-- [snap1] <-- [snap2] <-- [snap3] 1. Can I revert VM1 to use snap2 while it is live, or must it be shutdown? After shutting it down, is the best way to revert to snap2 to just edit the xml file and change the block device to point to snap2? Afterwards, I believe snap3 would become unusable and should be deleted? 2. If I would like to start a new VM from snap1, is there a way to extract a copy of this snapshot from the chain, to an independent image file? I tried to use "virsh blockcopy" but it returned this error: # virsh blockcopy VM1 vda snap1.qcow2 --wait --verbose error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not transient Thanks, Andrew

[libvirt-users] How to connect to console of domain on PowerPC?
by Yin Olivia-R63875 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hi, I tried to use libvirt to run KVM/QEMU on Freescale PowerPC platforms. So far there's only one serial device (spapr-vty) defined in QEMU to work as console for IBM PSeries platform. There's no serial device support in QEMU for Freescale PowerPC (ePAPR). libvirt/src/qemu/qemu_command.c /* This function generates the correct '-device' string for character * devices of each architecture. */ char * qemuBuildChrDeviceStr(virDomainChrDefPtr serial, virBitmapPtr qemuCaps, char *os_arch, char *machine) { virBuffer cmd = VIR_BUFFER_INITIALIZER; if (STREQ(os_arch, "ppc64") && STREQ(machine, "pseries")) { if (serial->deviceType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_DEVICE_TYPE_SERIAL && serial->source.type == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY && serial->info.type == VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_ADDRESS_TYPE_SPAPRVIO) { virBufferAsprintf(&cmd, "spapr-vty,chardev=char%s", serial->info.alias); if (qemuBuildDeviceAddressStr(&cmd, &serial->info, qemuCaps) < 0) goto error; } } else virBufferAsprintf(&cmd, "isa-serial,chardev=char%s,id=%s", serial->info.alias, serial->info.alias); if (virBufferError(&cmd)) { virReportOOMError(); goto error; } return virBufferContentAndReset(&cmd); error: virBufferFreeAndReset(&cmd); return NULL; } We usually connect guest with telnet. For instance, /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -name demo -M ppce500v2 -enable-kvm -m 256 -nographic -kernel /media/ram/uImage -initrd /media/ram/ramdisk -append "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200" -serial tcp::4445,server Then to run 'telnet 10.193.20.xxx 4445' could connect the guest. The temporary workaround is not add '-device' string after '-serial' option. diff -Nur libvirt-0.10.1.orig/src/qemu/qemu_command.c libvirt-0.10.1/src/qemu/qemu_command.c --- libvirt-0.10.1.orig/src/qemu/qemu_command.c 2012-08-30 15:35:18.000000000 +0530 +++ libvirt-0.10.1/src/qemu/qemu_command.c 2012-10-05 17:19:32.060368755 +0530 @@ -5501,13 +5501,15 @@ virCommandAddArg(cmd, devstr); VIR_FREE(devstr); - virCommandAddArg(cmd, "-device"); - if (!(devstr = qemuBuildChrDeviceStr(serial, qemuCaps, + if (!STREQ(def->os.arch, "ppc")) { + virCommandAddArg(cmd, "-device"); + if (!(devstr = qemuBuildChrDeviceStr(serial, + qemuCaps, def->os.arch, def->os.machine))) - goto error; - virCommandAddArg(cmd, devstr); - VIR_FREE(devstr); + goto error; + virCommandAddArg(cmd, devstr); + VIR_FREE(devstr); + } } else { virCommandAddArg(cmd, "-serial"); if (!(devstr = qemuBuildChrArgStr(&serial->source, NULL))) Applying the above patch to libvirt, all the other domain control commands could work except 'virsh console domain'. # cat >demo.args <<EOF > /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -name demo -M ppce500v2 -enable-kvm -m 256 > -nographic -kernel /media/ram/uImage -initrd /media/ram/ramdisk > -append "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200" -serial > tcp::4445,server -net nic EOF # vi demo.args /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -name demo -M ppce500v2 -enable-kvm -m 256 -nographic -kernel /media/ram/uImage -initrd /media/ram/ramdisk -append "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200" -serial tcp::4445,server -net nic # virsh domxml-from-native qemu-argv demo.args >demo.xml # vi demo.xml <domain type='kvm'> <name>demo</name> <uuid>985d7154-83c8-0763-cbac-ecd159eee8a6</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>262144</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>262144</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='ppc' machine='ppce500v2'>hvm</type> <kernel>/media/ram/uImage</kernel> <initrd>/media/ram/ramdisk</initrd> <cmdline>root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200</cmdline> </os> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc</emulator> <serial type='tcp'> <source mode='bind' host='' service='4445'/> <protocol type='raw'/> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='tcp'> <source mode='bind' host='' service='4445'/> <protocol type='raw'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <memballoon model='virtio'/> </devices> </domain> # virsh -c qemu:///system define demo.xml # virsh -c qemu:///system start demo But it seemed that can't connect to the console. # virsh -c qemu:///system console demo Connected to domain test Escape character is ^] error: internal error character device (null) is not using a PTY I tried also use '-serial pty' option, /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -name test -M ppce500v2 -enable-kvm -m 256 -nographic -kernel /media/ram/uImage -initrd /media/ram/ramdisk -append "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200" -serial pty Then there's no other output after the below message: # virsh -c qemu:///system console demo Connected to domain test Escape character is ^] It seemed not libvirt group issue.

[libvirt-users] Networking problem - multiple guests using MacVTap in bridge mode
by Filip Korzeniowski 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

Dear list, I am getting strange problems using a setup outlined in the subject. I want to run three guests on a single kvm host. The guests are connected through macvtap directly to the network device 'eth0' of the host using this configuration: <interface type='direct'> <mac address='52:54:00:86:3f:24'/> <source dev='eth0' mode='bridge'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> Each guest is assigned a static ip address, no DHCP is involved. When I start the guests the macvtap links are generated automatically, ifconfig outputs this: macvtap2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:86:3f:24 inet6 addr: fe80::5054:ff:fe86:3f24/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:98 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:31 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:10946 (10.6 KiB) TX bytes:2184 (2.1 KiB) However, depending on the startup order, only the first two guests are able to reach the network! I can't access the third one. After the initial startup, the last host won't connect to the network even if I restart all the guests in a differnt order. I can only reset this by restarting the host. As far as I have tested this, it really depends on the initial startup order of the guests after a host restart. This seems very strange to me. As I am quite new to all of this, I have no clue how to start searching for the problem here. Can anyone provide me with some hints?

[libvirt-users] Sanlock gives up lock when VM is paused
by Michael Rodrigues 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

Hello, I'm using libvirt and sanlock on qemu-kvm guests. Each guest has it's own Logical Volume for it's root filesystem. Sanlock is configured and working and prevents me from starting the same VM twice on multiple nodes and corrupting it's root filesystem. Each VM's domain XML resides on 2 servers that share the LVM volume group over fiber channel. In testing, I noticed that if I pause a VM on node 1, the sanlock lock is relinquished, and I am able to start the same VM, using the same root filesystem, on node 2. I get a lock error when unpausing node 1's VM if node 2's copy is still running, but by this point, the disk may already be corrupted. Is it necessary that paused VMs don't get to keep their locks? Is there a way to configure sanlock to lock when a VM is paused? Versions: sanlock(-devel, -lib) 2.3-1.el6 libvirt(-lock-sanlock, -client) 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 I'm using NFS for the lockspace.

[libvirt-users] How to copy snapshots of a VM to the other computer.
by Jonghee Youn 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Currently, I've tried to move qemu VM image to a new computer. So, I copied VM image files in /var/lib/libvirt/images, VM xml files in /etc/libvirt/qemu, VM snapshot files in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot to the same places at the new computer. Everything is OK except snapshot!! When I use "qemu-img info" for the copied VM image, I can see the snapshot list in the result as shown below: root@doc-scheduler:/var/lib/libvirt/images# qemu-img info VM22.img image: VM22.img file format: qcow2 virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes) disk size: 1.7G cluster_size: 65536 Snapshot list: ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK 1 VM22_A 228M 2013-01-31 10:06:45 00:06:38.110 But, when I use "virsh snapshot-list " for the copied VM, the result is empty as follows: root@doc-scheduler:~# virsh snapshot-list VM22 Name Creation Time State ------------------------------------------------------------ and of course, I can't revert to the snapshot. Please let me know how I can copy my snapshots to the new machine. Thanks.

[libvirt-users] migrate vm images to new storage pool
by Jamie Fargen 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

I am searching for directions for using live block migration to copy running vm's to a different storage pool. Example: VM1 running on HOST1, the image(s) for VM1 are stored in /var/lib/libvirt/images. I'd like to copy the disk image(s) that VM1 is using to /nfs/images. Without stopping/pausing/powering down the VM. Regards, Jamie Ian Fargen
