[libvirt-users] Getting libvirt Error when setting IO tune read_bytes_sec value using libvirt API virDomainSetBlockIotune
by vikrant verma
Hi All,
I am setting the value for "read_bytes_sec" using the following API code
virDomainSetBlockIoTune(dom, "/mnt/tmpsdb/FileVM1", parainfoPtr, nparams,
2);
I am succesfully able to set this value and i can read it back using the API
virDomainGetBlockIoTune(dom,"/mnt/tmpsdb/FileVM1",parainfoPtr,&nparams,2);
But after setting this value when i shutdown my VM and start it again I am
getting following error -
ibvirtError: internal error Process exited while reading console log
output: qemu-system-x86_64: -drive
file=/mnt/tmpsdb/FileVM1,if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-1,format=raw,bps_rd=1048576:
Invalid parameter 'bps_rd'
Note - when i see dumpxml of the VM following lines are got added after
setting the iotunes for read_bytes_sec
<iotune>
<read_bytes_sec>1048576</read_bytes_sec>
</iotune>
Please help me. Also i wanted to know whether we can set block IO tune for
a VM using the above API. Is it same as the IO throttling provided by
cgroup?

[libvirt-users] libvir: QEMU Driver error : internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for armv7l
by Clark Laughlin
Hello,
I am trying to run OpenStack (via devstack) on an Arndale board using Linaro's 13.04 release. I am getting a libvirt error that I was hoping someone could provide some more detail about:
libvir: QEMU Driver error : internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for armv7l
If this is coming from libvirt, what is it looking for for a suitable emulator? Or, is this something I need to search starting with QEMU?
Thank you in advance,

[libvirt-users] Pre-requisites to use Java bindings with QEMU
by Lior Vernia
Hello everyone,
I've been reading through the articles on the website trying to understand
what's needed to use the libvirt Java bindings with a QEMU hypervisor, but
still have some uncertainties/questions:
1. It is my understanding that libvirtd has to be running on the machine
hosting the hypervisor. Correct?
2. For libvirtd to communicate with QEMU, QEMU has to be installed on the
machine hosting the hypervisor. Correct? I guess what I'm really asking is
whether the libvirt QEMU "driver" includes the QEMU source code, or rather
communicates with pre-installed executables.
3. Assuming the answer to the two former questions is "yes", is there a way
to bypass libvirtd if the machine hosting the hypervisor is the same as the
one running the Java code? I'm asking because running libvirtd would
require privileged permissions, whereas QEMU itself can run with normal
user permissions. Is that a price I have to pay for the uniform interface
that libvirt presents?
Yours, Lior.

[libvirt-users] Designing libvirt client
by arvind viswanathan
Hi,
I have a VMM application using a homegrown client for communicating with
hypervisor.
I am planning to migrate to libvirt because of the blocking nature of the
calls.
After going over the architecture, I would like to have a few doubts
clarified
1) Should my application be necessarily multi-threaded in order to make use
of the non-blocking calls in libvirt. [Are overlapping methods mainly used
by multithreaded clients].
2) I was wondering if there was any way to provide a callback along with
the methods to achieve non-blocking.[My application has event library so
it can receive events]
3) Is the libvirt RPC client multi-threaded. [i.e., does it internally use
multiple threads to dispatch requests to server and return response to the
application]
I can provide more information, if its not helpful.
Thanks

[libvirt-users] Unable to start LXC on Gentoo w/ libvirt 1.0.4 or 1.0.5. 1.0.3 works
by Dennis Jenkins
Hello.
I use libvirtd on my Gentoo development system to manage both QEMU and
LXC. When 1.0.3 came out, I updated to it from 1.0.3-r2, but 1.0.4 failed
to start my LXC containers. I did not research the issue at the time, so I
revert to 1.0.3-r2. Today I updated to 1.0.5 and my LXC containers still
fail to start. I have not changed my domain XML at all.
I am looking for suggestions on what to try to resolve the problem.
Maybe I'm missing a package or have something mus-configured for
libvirt-1.0.5. btw, A month ago I updates to the most recent "udev"
(udev-200). This required me to rename all of my network interfaces. My
QEMU and LXC containers continued to work. All of my VMs use bridged
networking on "br0" or "br1". Those virtual interfaces are not bridged to
any physical NIC. They exist only inside my host's kernel. I have
extensive iptables rules to filter traffic between my network segments
(physical + virtual).
TL;DR: this was burried in a log file: " error :
lxcContainerMountFSDevPTS:808 : Failed to mount
/.oldroot//var/run/libvirt/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev.devpts on /dev/pts: No such file
or directory". But that directory DOES exist in the container:
ostara ~ # ls -ld /vm/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev/dev/pts/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 2011 /vm/lxc/dwj-lnx-dev/dev/pts/
If I revert to libvirt-1.0.3-r2, I can boot my LXC containers again.
But if possible, I'd like to keep my system current. I've ran the usual
Gentoo tools to verify that all package dependencies are installed,
revdep-rebuild reports that all ELFs link against the proper shared objects.

Nothing in the openvswitch log file (OVS itself works fine, I can start VMs with the kvm command line).
Any clues? I'm not too sure how to trace libvirt calls to OVS (according to the release notes, versions 1.0+ of libvirtd should work with OVS. Note: I am not using brcompat, I believe it's obsolete in the OVS version I'm running).
Thanks,
Chris.
