[libvirt-users] Snapshot without volumes temporarily
by Hubert Chiang 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello, I want to do a snapshot which the VM has volumes. But I want to skip the volume check when I do the snapshot. (Which means I want to do a snapshot without detaching the volume) So I try to write a snapshot XML refer by http://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html as following: vda is my VM basic disk (qcow2) vdb is a volume (raw) ================ t1.xml =============== <domainsnapshot> <disks> <disk name='vda' snapshot='internal'> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/VM1/disk' /> </disk> <disk name='vdb' snapshot='no' /> </disks> </domainsnapshot> ===================================== with this command: # virsh snapshot-create VM1 --xmlfile t1.xml and get the message: # error: argument unsupported: unable to handle disk requests in snapshot My environment is Libvirt 0.9.8, Qemu 1.0.0 on Ubuntu12.04.02 I try to do this action before at libvirt 0.9.2 QEMU 0.14.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 before with following commands, It's success. Step1. I copy the XML from /etc/libvirt/qemu/VM1.xml to VM1.xml.backup Step2. I edit the VM1.xml to remove the disk tag which is create by volume Step3. do virsh command: virsh snapshot-create VM1 Step4. Move VM1.xml.backup to VM1.xml It's success on libvirt 0.9.2. But on 0.9.8 It doesn't work. Because libvirt will check the setups from memory not the XML file in /etc/libvirt/qemu/ What could I do with libvirt 0.9.8? Thanks in advance.

[libvirt-users] virsh migrate ---no route to host
by Hari Pyla 28 Mar '13

Hi, I am trying to migrate a guest domain from one node to another. I've tried several options of the virsh migrate command, but in vain. It seems to be a networking issue. I wanted to make sure that my setup is correct and that I am not missing anything. I've issued the below command on the source node (n0): [user@n0 ~]$ virsh --connect qemu:///system migrate --verbose Fedora-17-x86_64-1 qemu+ssh://n1/system error: unable to connect to server at 'n1:49156': No route to host I was wondering if you have any ideas on how to fix this issue. My current setup/configuration: 1. virsh version : 0.10.2 2. The user has all the necessary access control setup. I've referenced http://libvirt.org/auth.html I am able to locally and remotely connect to both the nodes. I am also able to start, stop and perform other actions on guest domains on local and remote nodes, e.g., /* access destination node */ [user@n0 ~]$ virsh --connect qemu+ssh://n1/system list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- /* access local node */ [user@n0 ~]$ virsh --connect qemu:///system list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 2 Fedora-17-x86_64-1 running - Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD shut off 3. ssh keys are configured for password less access to both the nodes 4. I've opened ports 49152-49215 on the destination node i.e., n1. please see below. [user@n1 images]$ sudo iptables -L [sudo] password for user: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domain ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:bootps ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:bootps ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:49152:49215 ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp spts:49152:49215 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere 192.168.122.0/24 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- 192.168.122.0/24 anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination 5. I've restarted the libvirtd after updating the iptables. I don't think that is necessary, but did it anyway. I was wondering if I am missing something. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, --Hari

[libvirt-users] netfilter+libvirt=(smth got broken?)
by Nikolai Zhubr 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hello, I'm having problem setting up filtering traffic for a virtual machine managed by libvirt. Strange thing is, such a setup has been working fine for me on an older version of distro (namely, opensuse 11.3 w/updates, kernel 2.6.34, libvirt 0.8.8) but refused to work on shiny new opensuse 12.4 (kernel 3.7.10, libvirt 1.0.2). The definition of filter in question is pretty simple: <filter name='some-filt' chain='ipv4'> <rule action='accept' direction='in'> <tcp dstportstart='110'/> </rule> <rule action='drop' direction='inout'> <all/> </rule> </filter> So basically it should allow incoming connections to the specified port number and nothing else. After activating this filter on a box in question, connections to 110 started to fail (timeout). Examining iptables rules manually and comparing them to the rules from my old box did not reveal anything suspicious to me. However, through just pure guesswork, I managed to ocasionally "fix" the problem by manually editing 3 relevant rules as follows: --A FI-vnet0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 110 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -m conntrack --ctdir ORIGINAL -j RETURN +-A FI-vnet0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 110 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -m conntrack --ctdir REPLY -j RETURN --A FO-vnet0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 110 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -m conntrack --ctdir REPLY -j ACCEPT +-A FO-vnet0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 110 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -m conntrack --ctdir ORIGINAL -j ACCEPT --A HI-vnet0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 110 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -m conntrack --ctdir ORIGINAL -j RETURN +-A HI-vnet0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 110 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -m conntrack --ctdir REPLY -j RETURN So essentially, just manually swtiching "--ctdir" values to their opposites makes the filter allow connections to port 110. I've also verified that the filter still blocks unwanted connections originating from port 110 from VM exactly as it should: (in VM): netcat -v -v -n -p 110 192.168.122.1 22 (UNKNOWN) [192.168.122.1] 22 (?) : Connection timed out set 0, rcvd 0 I've then compared /proc/net/nf_conntrack on both (old and new) boxes. They look roughly the same, nothing suspicious. This all looks to me as if "--ctdir" argument somehow magically changed its meaning to the opposite, but this just cannot be! I'm out of ideas and looking for insights. Any hints appreciated quite a lot. Thank you. Nikolai

[libvirt-users] Bug in DOMINFO command when balloon driver is used on a vm with more then 8 GB of MaxMemory ?
by fc lists 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi , I Sent this to the wrong list (libvirt-devel) on friday ... so i am trying to send it to the correct one this time. Apologize for double posting. I also created a ticket on bugzilla.redhat.com for this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927336 still i am posting it here because is absolutely possible i am doing something wrong and someone here will see it . Description of the problem: When the virsh setmem command is used to inflate (or deflate) the balloon on a VM to which 8GB of MaxMemory or more are allocated then the information reported with virsh dominfo , virsh dumpxml after the balloon change has been performed are wrong. The actual balloon is inflated correctly though and that is verifiable both in the vm itself and through the "virsh dommemstat" commands. Platform is Centos 6.4 (problem was present in 6.3 as well starting with libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6.3.7 ) The patch that actually is causing the problem is patch number 398 in the src rpm for libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6.3.7 : libvirt-Wire-up-handling-for-QMP-s-BALLOON_EVENT.patch ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=884713) And i verified it by removing the patch and recompiling the rpm , that indeed worked perfectly after that. The problem exists in every version up to the latest (that is what i am running now) but now the patch is part of the libvirt source code in itself and not a patch in the rpm anymore.

[libvirt-users] virsh list show shutdown VMs only
by Heiko L. 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hallo, I am using virsh with squeeze and xen-4.2+linux-3.8 (compiled) Problem: "virsh list -all" shows VMs only in shutdown state. (see: test3 virsh list shutdown) virsh start/shutdown works correctly. I suspect that version of libvirt is to old. Is their some workaround without updating system? regards Heiko details: - test1 start vm root@e2:/tmp# virsh start vm1_test1 Domain vm1_test1 started root@e2:/tmp# xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State

[libvirt-users] Errors while using blkiotune command
by Saurabh Deochake 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi all, I want to limit the I/O bandwidth inside the container, so I used virsh command blkiotune. But when I enter a command: virsh # blkiotune lxcguest --weight 250 I get following errors: error: Unable to change blkio parameters error: Requested operation is not valid: blkio cgroup isn't mounted I also have blkio cgroup mounted. What can be the problem? Thanks in advance. Regards, Saurabh Deochake
