[libvirt-users] How to pass USB device to the guest VM
by Marc Haber 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

Hi, I am trying to access my Galaxy Tab from Samsung KIES running on Windows 7 inside a KVM VM. This unfortunately does not seem to work as expected. My Distribution is debian unstable. I therefore have qemu-system-x86 version 1.4.0+dfsg-1exp, libvirt 1.0.3-1 and virt-manager 0.9.4-2. lsusb shows the Tab as follows: Bus 001 Device 016: ID 04e8:6877 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy S in Virt Manager, I can add a USB Host Device 001:016 SAMSUNG SAMSUNG_Android. This ends up in the VM as "USB 04e8:6877" and shows up in XML as <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x04e8'/> <product id='0x6877'/> </source> </hostdev> However, when I start Windows 7, the Galaxy Tab is not detected and also does not show up in Device Manager. The KVM process is called as: qemu-system-x86 -machine accel=kvm:tcg -name mywindows -S -M pc-1.1 -m 4096 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 8e6e01e8-2191-9dcc-e2e4-5eb7ae55c450 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snsvw001.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime -no-shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -drive file=/dev/luksdev/mywindows,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=23,id=hostnet0 -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:c4:16:65,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing,seamless-migration=on -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.ram_size=67108864 -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -device usb-host,hostbus=1,hostaddr=16,id=hostdev0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 This looks correct to me as a layman. Also, when I boot up the same VM with Linux as guest OS, the Galaxy Tablet does not show up in lsusb. What is happening on my system so that the USB device is not detected in Windows and Linux? Any ideas how to fix that? Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

You can change that setting per disk in the VM details UI in virt-manager. - Cole

[libvirt-users] Check memory inside a container
by Saurabh Deochake 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi all, I'm new to LXC and libvirt. I have created a LXC container using libvirt. In domain XML file I have mentioned "memory" and "current memory" as 256 MB. Now I want to check the memory inside the container, but whenever I run top command or try to cat /proc/meminfo, it shows host machine's memory which is 3GB. So is there any command by which I can check containers memory? Regards, Saurabh Deochake.

[libvirt-users] backup disk/state
by Evaggelos Balaskas 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi there, i am trying to understand something that bothering me for some time now. A running domain has two things that someone needs to take backup. So there is the disk and the state. Using snapshots as checkpoint someone can take the disk snapshot but i cant understand how to "transfer" the saved state from "backup ed" disk. Reading through Kashyap's and Eric's posts (mostly) i can now understand a lot about backing up and snapshotting but i cant figure out (perhaps i need to read more) how to boot up the snapshot disk with the saved (?) state. Thanks in advance -- Evaggelos Balaskas - Unix System Engineer http://gr.linkedin.com/in/evaggelosbalaskas

[libvirt-users] RHEL 5 libvirt client - QEMU+SSH fails with "login authentication type 2" problem

[libvirt-users] update qemu-kvm with running guests?
by Jamie Fargen 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Good Afternoon, I was curious to know what happens to running guests when the qemu-kvm rpm is update via yum. I assume that the current qemu processes would be running the old binary, but the new processes would be started using the new binary. Please let me know if this assumption is correct.

[libvirt-users] QEMU+SSH login issue on RHEL 4
by Shantan Marepally (shanredd) 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi All, I am trying to compile libvirt tools from source on RHEL 4. I could get the sources compiled, but when I try to connect to libvirtd using QEMU+SSH I get the following error: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: authentication failed: unsupported authentication type 2 With root as the user, I could login, rest other users get the error. All authentication related settings are setup fine. When I try the login using QEMU+SSH to the same libvirtd, compiled on RHEL 5, with any other user things seem to be working fine. The thing that was different in the build is that I am trying to build a minimal virsh client on RHEL 4. The following are the configure parameters I used: ./configure --enable-static --with-libvirtd=no --with-hal=no --with-python --with-PACKAGE=yes --with-packager=no --with-packager-version=no --with-gnu-ld=no --with-apparmor=no --with-apparmor-mount=no--with-attr=no --with-audit=no --with-avahi=no --with-blkid=no --with-capng=no --with-curl=no --with-dbus=no --with-fuse=no --with-hal=no --with-netcf=no --with-numactl=no --with-openwsman=no --with-pciaccess=no --with-sanlock=no --with-sasl=no --with-selinux=no --with-selinux-mount=no --with-udev=no --with-yajl=no --with-xen=no --with-xen-inotify=no --with-qemu=no --with-uml=no --with-openvz=no --with-vmware=no --with-phyp=no --with-xenapi=no --with-libxl=no --with-vbox=no --with-gnutls=no Are there any specific options that are needed for QEMU+SSH to work? any other ideas what could go wrong?

[libvirt-users] ANNOUNCE: Oz 0.10.0 Release
by Chris Lalancette 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

All, I'm pleased to announce release 0.10.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for doing automated installation of guest operating systems with limited input from the user. Release 0.10.0 is a bugfix and feature release for Oz. Some of the highlights between Oz 0.9.0 and 0.10.0 are: * Support for installing OpenSUSE 12.1 and 12.2 * Support for python3 * Support for Ubuntu 12.04.1, 12.04.2, and 12.10 * Fix up <command> ordering so that commands are run in the order they are specified in the XML * Updates and fixes to the documentation * Increase the shutdown timeout to support slower qemu guests * Add a default screenshot directory as /var/lib/oz/screenshots * Support for RHEL 5.9 * Support for Fedora 18 * Switch over to pycurl for header information; this allows http authentication to work * Switch to using the libvirt built-in screenshot mechanism. This removes the gvnc dependency and makes screenshots more reliable, but requires libvirt 0.9.7 or newer * Delete auto-generated ssh keys after customization A tarball of this release is available, as well as packages for Fedora-17. Instructions on how to get and use Oz are available at http://github.com/clalancette/oz/wiki . If you have questions or comments about Oz, please feel free to contact me at clalancette(a)gmail.com, or open up an issue on the github page: http://github.com/clalancette/oz/issues . Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release through bug reports, patches, and suggestions for improvement. Chris Lalancette
