[libvirt-users] Sanlock - what are my options?
by Russell Jones 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi all, I have an RHCS 2 node cluster utilizing SAN storage with GFS2 for the VM images. I am looking into configuring Sanlock, however am running into some architecture questions with it. The documentation for Sanlock states: "The sanlock plugin needs to create leases in a directory that is on a filesystem shared between all hosts running virtual machines. Obvious choices for this include NFS or GFS2." I do not have a highly available NFS mount where I can store the disk leases, and I cannot store the lockspace on the same GFS2 mount as the disk images as during fencing/journal recovery disk I/O can become blocked, which causes Sanlock to log warnings/errors about renewals. Is there another option for configuration?

[libvirt-users] problem when get the vm cpu stat
by Wangkai (Kevin,C) 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hi all, I try to get vm cpu stat by function "virDomainGetCPUStats", when the vm Cpu usage is 100%, I can see from the vm shell by "top", when the info Get by the "virDomainGetCPUStats" show only the "cpu_time" increased, "user_time" and "system_time" was not changed at all. Is that correct ? How can I get the vm cpu usage? nparams = virDomainGetCPUStats(domain, NULL, 0, -1, 1, 0); virDomainGetCPUStats(domain, params, nparams, -1, 1, 0); Thanks, Kevin.

[libvirt-users] Unexplained shutdown of VM on upgrade of libvirt package
by Chandana De Silva 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

I am running KVM on Centos 6.3 and am seeing an unexplained shut down of two guests. The libvirt package was upgraded to libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6_4.4.x86_64 at the time of the shutdown. Only the two guests shown below was affected, while 9 others running on the same hypervisor were not. Can some one help me to find the cause please ?

[libvirt-users] question about process power which has MCSx
by yue 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

hi,all a qemu-kvm process and its disk(image file) have the same MCS(s0:c111,c555). it express this process have access to this image. i do not know the power to access its image file is the max or min? if any other power this process(domain) has?how much? i want to know the exact power a qemu-kvm process has besides access its image file ,other kinds of files,dirs etc. my test case: after start a guestVM(its disk xml ,cache='none' error_policy='stop'), make some modification on its files and save them. then go to hypervisor, modify the MCS of guestVM's image file. 1.i can read those files(cache=none)?it should not be so. why? 2.then modify files and save, the guestVM hang, it is paused on UI. this is right qeum process can not write again. why this guestVM is hang? and can not be resumed 3.look at audit info. denied { write } for pid=52162 comm="qemu-kvm". that pid is 52162, is not my qemu-kvm's pid? why? thanks so much.

[libvirt-users] libvirt support for qcow2 rebase?
by Skardal, Harald 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

I have not found support in libvirt (nor virsh) for doing the equivalent of "qemu-img rebase ....". The use case: You have copied a qcow2 stack and the new files have different names or reside in a different directory. Therefore you need to change the backing file. Is there a way to do this? Is this a planned addition to libvirt? Harald

[libvirt-users] Update request: When support for live snapshot delete incl coalesce
by Skardal, Harald 17 Apr '13

Does the libvirt development team have a sense of when/which version of libvirt will support the deletion of live snapshots, incl. the coalesce. With the restriction that you cannot delete the most recent snapshot! Harald

[libvirt-users] Shouldn't vol-upload / virStorageVolUpload() be doing some format conversion?
by Guido Winkelmann 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hi, I just tried using vol-update to copy an image file to a storage pool, and I noticed that, at least in my configuration (qemu backend, storage pool of type "dir"), this command does not appear to be doing any kind of format conversion. It simply copied the source file as-is over the file in which the target volume was stored with no checks whether that even makes sense. The help text to this command says it supports offset and length, which - kinda, sorta - implies that I can write a block of bytes at offset n to a volume, attach that volume to a domain, and then the OS in the guest domain will find exactly the bytes I just wrote at exactly offset n in its newly attached harddisk/CDROM/whatever. Instead, trying to this with anything but raw images would probably just break the image file. AFAICS, in its current form, this command and this API-call are only useful in exactly two scenarios: - Both the source and target image are in raw format - Source and target image are in the same non-raw format (like qcow2 or vmdk) AND you are copying the entire volume at once. In all other cases - source and target are in different formats, source and target are in non-raw and you are trying to write only parts of a volume - this can only lead to a broken image file. As far as I see it, at the layer of abstraction libvirt offers, "volume" should not be synonymous with "the file the file the volume is stored in on disk", but rather with "the volume as a guest machine will get to see it". Regards, Guido

[libvirt-users] virt-install on powerpc64 issues
by Alexey Kardashevskiy 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi! I am trying to setup a guest using virt-install script: /usr/bin/virt-install -n fc18guest5 -r 1024 \ --disk path=/home/aik/virtimg/fc18guest,size=8 \ -c /home/aik/virtimg/Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso \ --video vga --arch=ppc64 -d --machine=pseries And it fails. I could not find any relevant log in /var/log/libvirt/ so I simply hacked /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 to print all the parameters passed into it. So I got the command line (below, after the second question) where the "-device scsi-cd" parameter is cut in a middle so QEMU fails to start. 788 chars long - is there a limit? The second question is - where does virt-install store those xmls? I have to choose a new name for a machine even if virt-install failed, in the example it is "fc18guest5" (5 at the end). "virsh -c qemu:///system list" prints an empty list with no domains. Thanks! /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 -name fc18guest5 -S -M pseries -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 71f8b17f-ca48-80fe-db58-4d933c66fe2d -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/home/aik/.config/libvirt/qemu/lib/fc18guest5.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-reboot -no-shutdown -device pci-ohci,id=usb,bus=pci,addr=0x1.0x2 -device spapr-vscsi,id=scsi0,reg=0x2000 -drive file=/home/aik/virtimg/fc18guest,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=raw -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,bootindex=2 -drive file=/home/aik/virtimg/Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-1,readonly=on,format=raw -device scsi-cd,bus=scsi0.0,ch The full log is here: [aik@vpl2 ~]$ ./start_installation.sh ++ /usr/bin/virt-install -n fc18guest5 -r 1024 --disk path=/home/aik/virtimg/fc18guest,size=8 -c /home/aik/virtimg/Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso --video vga --arch=ppc64 -d --machine=pseries [Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:06:10 virt-install 9880] DEBUG (cli:221) Launched with command line: /usr/bin/virt-install -n fc18guest5 -r 1024 --disk path=/home/aik/virtimg/fc18guest,size=8 -c /home/aik/virtimg/Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso --video vga --arch=ppc64 -d --machine=pseries [Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:06:10 virt-install 9880] DEBUG (cli:326) Requesting libvirt URI default [Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:06:12 virt-install 9880] DEBUG (cli:328) Received libvirt URI qemu:///session [Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:06:12 virt-install 9880] DEBUG (virt-install:259) Requesting virt method 'default', hv type 'default'.

[libvirt-users] Port forwarding for KVM
by 陳韋任 (Wei-Ren Chen) 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi all, Let me illustrate what I want to do. I want to launch a QEMU "inside" a KVM virtual machine, then get that QEMU's vnc output. I am using libvirt 0.9.13 (`libvirtd --version`), and attach is my vm's original config xml. Is there a simple way to achieve my goal? I was told that iptable solution I found on the web is for "tap" interface, and I can use "hostfwd" QEMU option if I use "user" interface. For the latter approach, I basically follow this one [1] with the QEMU cmdline option below: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-net user,hostfwd=::5902-:5901'/> </qemu:commandline> But virsh always keep saying: error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: kvm: -net user,hostfwd=::5902-:5901: invalid option What I am missing here? I also found there was a patch for user mode port forwarding [2]. Does that mean I can write libvirt xml directly to do port forwarding? If so, could someone give me hint on how to write one? The last question is, do I have to change the interface type from "network" to "user" so that I can do port forwarding? Thanks in advance! :) [1] http://snippets.webaware.com.au/snippets/running-qemu-with-port-redirection… [2] http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-May/msg00538.html Regards, chenwj -- Wei-Ren Chen (陳韋任) Computer Systems Lab, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

[libvirt-users] Accessing libvirtd from multiple agents
by arvind viswanathan 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi, I was wondering if multiple remote agents can access the same libvirtd. How do we prevent conflicting commands from the different agents. Can different access permission be set for the agents? (The documentation usually goes over the case where one agent can access multiple libvirtd and not this case) Thanks Arvind
