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] managedsave results in unexpected shutdown from inside Windows
by Nicolas Sebrecht 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi, I'm facing a strange behaviour of windows 2008 guests. After a virsh managedsave and start, the windows guest open a "unexpected shutdown" window. The window looks like this one (randomly taken from the web): http://toastytech.com/guis/srv2k3login2.jpg This happens in all virtualized windows in a hypervisor. Has anyone else experienced such issue? Thanks, -- Nicolas Sebrecht

[libvirt-users] /dev/tty only on a new container
by Sebastien Douche 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hi folks :), I migrated the host from the Debian Squeeze to Ubuntu 12.10. Old containers work but I can't use the ssh command, /dev/tty is missing. On a new container, /dev/tty is here. The libvirt configuration is the same. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Sebastien Douche <sdouche(a)gmail.com> Twitter: @sdouche / G+: +sdouche

[libvirt-users] How to use xl (in place of xm) with libvirt 1.0.2 and Xen 4.2.1 in Ubuntu 13.04?
by Gizmo Chicken 21 May '13

21 May '13

QUESTION: What, if anything, can I do so that I can use xl (in place of xm) with libvirt 1.0.2 and Xen 4.2.1 in Ubuntu 13.04? BACKGROUND: I am testing a fully updated (as of March 27) installation of Ubuntu 13.04 that includes the following packages: libvirt - version 1.0.2-0ubuntu9 xen-hypervisor-4.2-amd64 - version 4.2.1-0ubuntu1 Upon setting TOOLSTACK=xm in /etc/default/xen (as well as making a few needed tweaks to /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp), libvirt and virt-manager worked great. Yippee! I guess that I should be happy that the xm toolstack still works with Xen 4.2.1 and quit while I'm ahead, but... According to libvirt's documentation: "libxl: Starting with Xen 4.2, the legacy XenD/xm toolstack is deprecated in favor of libxl, also commonly called libxenlight. libvirt supports this new Xen toolstack via the libxl driver. If XenD is enabled, the legacy xen driver consisting of the above mentioned channels will be used. If XenD is disabled, the libxl driver will be used." See http://libvirt.org/drvxen.html. In view of the above, I attempted to use xl in place xm by setting TOOLSTACK=xl in /etc/default/xen. And after doing so (both with and without, the above mentioned tweaks to /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp), I recieved the following error when attempting to start virt-manager: Unable to connect to libvirt. unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused Verify that: - A Xen host kernel was booted - The Xen service has been started Libvirt URI is: xen:/// Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1027, in _open_thread self.vmm = self._try_open() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1009, in _try_open flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in openAuth if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirtError: unable to connect to 'localhost:8000': Connection refused

[libvirt-users] libvirtd using 11GB
by Alex Leonhardt 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi All, Am new to this list, and have asked in #ovirt / ovirt-users list and they pointed me to here ... I've seen libvirtd using ~11 GB of resident memory after the host has been running for about 60+ days with about 40 VMs running on it. The versions I'm currently running are : libvirt.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.7 libvirt-client.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.7 libvirt-lock-sanlock.x86_64 libvirt-python.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.7 I know I can just restart libvirtd and "all should be fine" (and hopefully I'll regain the 11GB of memory) - however, is there an updated version that maybe fixes a memory leak ?? Thanks in advance, Alex -- | RHCE | Sen Sys Engineer / Platform Architect | www.vcore.co | www.vsearchcloud.com |

[libvirt-users] Java client error on Windows 7 64 bit for Libvirt on KVM
by george john 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hi, I need some help in building a Java client on Windows 7 64 bit plaftorm to manage a KVM using the libvirt APIs. Using the instructions at http://libvirt.org/java.html, i was able to build libvirt.jar. My understanding is that libvirt.jar uses JNA to call libvirt's native windows library. I tried using the libvirt dlls in the experimental Windows installation package mentioned in http://libvirt.org/windows.html at http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.8-0.exe but whenever I try to connect to my remote API, I get the below Java exception : Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. at com.sun.jna.Native.open(Native Method) at com.sun.jna.Native.open(Native.java:1718) at com.sun.jna.NativeLibrary.loadLibrary(NativeLibrary.java:210) at com.sun.jna.NativeLibrary.getInstance(NativeLibrary.java:322) at com.sun.jna.Library$Handler.<init>(Library.java:142) at com.sun.jna.Native.loadLibrary(Native.java:387) at com.sun.jna.Native.loadLibrary(Native.java:366) at org.libvirt.jna.Libvirt.<clinit>(Unknown Source) at org.libvirt.Library.<clinit>(Unknown Source) at org.libvirt.Connect.<init>(Unknown Source) at Main.main(Main.java:8) But when I try the same client code on a Windows XP 32 bit machine (with 32 bit JVM), I don't see this problem and the connection succeeds. So it looks like the problem is that I am not using 64 bit windows libvirt dlls. Is my assumption correct? Is there a Windows installer with 64 bit Libvirt dlls ? Or are the 64 bit version of DLLs published somewhere? I tried using Matthias Bolte's msys_setup script (I tried in 2 machines) and in both machines, I get the below error when I try to run compile_libxml2.sh as per instructions https://github.com/photron/msys_setup/blob/master/readme_libvirt.txt Last few lines before the error is : >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> make[5]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python' make[4]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python' Making install in tests make[4]: Entering directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python/tests' make[5]: Entering directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python/tests' make[5]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z "/share/doc/libxml2-python-2.9.0/examples" || /bin/mkdir -p "/share/doc/ libxml2-python-2.9.0/examples" /bin/install -c -m 644 build.py attribs.py tst.py tstxpath.py xpathext.py push. py pushSAX.py pushSAXhtml.py error.py serialize.py validate.py tstURI.py cutnpas te.py xpathret.py xpath.py outbuf.py inbuf.py resolver.py regexp.py reader.py re ader2.py reader3.py reader4.py reader5.py reader6.py reader7.py reader8.py reade rnext.py walker.py nsdel.py ctxterror.py readererr.py relaxng.py schema.py threa d2.py sync.py tstLastError.py indexes.py dtdvalid.py tstmem.py '/share/doc/libxm l2-python-2.9.0/examples' /bin/install -c -m 644 validDTD.py validSchemas.py validRNG.py compareNodes.py xpathns.py xpathleak.py tst.xml valid.xml invalid.xml test.dtd '/share/doc/libxm l2-python-2.9.0/examples' make[5]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python/tests' make[4]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python/tests' make[3]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python' make[2]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python' make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0' + cp /python/Lib/site-packages/libxml2mod.dll /python/DLLs/libxml2mod.pyd cp: cannot stat `/python/Lib/site-packages/libxml2mod.dll': No such file or dire ctory >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Do you know how this error could be resolved?

[libvirt-users] Location of 64 bit libvirt dlls (Windows)?
by george john 06 May '13

06 May '13

I have written a Java client (64 bit JVM) that uses libvirt APIs on a remote KVM for KVM management. Since the JVM is 64 bit, the client needs 64 bit libvirt dlls and I could not find them (I found 32 bit libvirt dlls on http://libvirt.org/windows.html) Could someone point to where I could find 64 bit libvirt dlls? Thank you, George

[libvirt-users] Basic Network Connections
by Slater, Joseph 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi, If I have these fragments in a domain definition, the guest will start with "eth0" assigned by dhcp to an address on my lan. Things seem to work according to the documentation I can find. <network> <name>direct-macvtap</name> <forward mode='bridge'> <interface dev='eth0' /> </forward> </network> <devices> <interface type='direct'> <mac address='00:15:17:A6:BC:C9' /> <source dev='eth0' mode='bridge' /> <model type='virtio' /> </interface> </devices> I don't understand the <network> part here. It doesn't seem to be documented. I inherited these pieces so I do not know why they are as they are. If, instead, I have the following, the guest comes up with no network interface at all (except lo). On the host, interfaces vnet0 and virbr0 exist and virbr0 is 192.168.122.1. <devices> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> </interface> </devices> Adding in <model type='virtio' /> makes it start with "eth0", but no address has been assigned. I can manually do that and then I can communicate with the host but it's kind of a pain to add the address and routing manually. Oddly enough, though, ping from host to guest works normally, but ping guest to host seems to succeed once then hang (with no timeout). It is not at all obvious to me how virtio magically creates eth0. Am I doing something wrong, here? And, if anyone could advise how to use openvswitch I'd appreciate it. I've seen adding <virtualport type='openvswitch/> might be enough, presumably with an appropriate name for the source network. Joe
