[libvirt-users] Strange connectivity issues with bridged networking and masquerade
by Kolja Scheffler 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of building a 2-Node libvirt/KVM Cluster and ran into some issues regarding the network connectivity of our virtual machines. Our setup seemed to work fine, we were able to browse to Google and our own company website and some others from within the VM. Then we tried microsoft.com to download some Windows iso images from MS Partner Network. The page started to load, but only a few elements became visible - then it sticked to: "Loading data from microsoft.com" ...forever. A few other examples that do not work are: * www.opera.com * www.amazon.com * www.speedtest.net All of these pages load without any problem, when I access them from my laptop or even with Firefox via X-Forwarding launched directly on the hypervisor system. From within the VMs they just refuse to finish loading. The only thing those pages have in common, as far as I can see, is that they heavily utilize CDNs like Amazon Cloudfront or Akamai. The idea behind our setup is, that all virtual machines communicate on the 192.168.3.0/24 network. The nodes have a VLAN connection on eth1. To allow connections between VMs on different hosts, we created the bridge device br1 with eth1 attached and added the VMs to it. eth0 provides internet access with xx.xx.220.0 as additional public failover ip. We added 192.168.3.254 as additional IP to one of the node's br1 device to use it as the default gateway for the VMs. This IP can be migrated between the nodes. Our setup looks like this: ____________ / \ ( Internet ) \____________/ / \ Node1: | | Node2: | | xx.xx.217.8 (eth0) (eth0) xx.xx.217.10 xx.xx.220.0 \ {Masq.} / (eth1)----(eth1) | | 192.168.3.1 [br1 ] [br1 ] 192.168.3.2 192.168.3.254 | | | | 192.168.3.50 (vnet0) (vnet0) 192.168.3.75 ---------- iptables looks like this: root@vm01:~# iptables -S -P INPUT ACCEPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -A FORWARD -d 192.168.3.0/24 -o br1 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s 192.168.3.0/24 -i br1 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i br1 -o br1 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT root@vm01:~# iptables -S -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT -P INPUT ACCEPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.3.0/24 ! -d 192.168.3.0/24 -j MASQUERADE -A POSTROUTING ! -s 192.168.3.0/24 -d 192.168.3.0/24 -j MASQUERADE --------- Some additional information that might be helpful: root@vm01:~# virsh version Compiled against library: libvir 0.9.12 Using library: libvir 0.9.12 Using API: QEMU 0.9.12 Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.1.2 --------- root@vm01:~# uname -a Linux vm01.cluster 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.46-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux --------- I don't know if it's really libvirt-related but perhaps someone here has an idea what to try. Any advice on this is really appreciated, as I am at my wits' end. Thank you in advance... :) Kind regards Kolja Scheffler

[libvirt-users] Information needed regarding the libvirt version libvirt-1.0.6-1
by arun abhinay 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Hi, We have upgraded the libvirt version from libvirt-1.0.5 to libvirt-1.0.6-1 on our linux machine. After this upgrade "virsh cpu-stats <domain>" command is not working on our HardWare. *virsh # cpu-stats test error: Failed to retrieve CPU statistics for domain 'test' error: internal error error accessing cgroup cpuacct for vcpu* ** *# cat /proc/cgroups #subsys_name hierarchy num_cgroups enabled cpuset 3 4 1 ns 0 1 1 cpu 1 6 1 cpuacct 7 3 1 memory 2 3 1 freezer 0 1 1 net_cls 0 1 1 blkio 0 1 1 * *# chkconfig --list | grep cg cgroups_mount 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off* We have also found that there is no "cgroup" directory created by kenel under "/sys/fs/". We suspect that the 'cgroup' controllers are not mounted properly and hence the issue is observed. While using the libvirt-1.0.5 version below mentioned mount commands were sufficient to mount cgroup controllers *mkdir -p /dev/cgroup_cpuacct mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct cpuacct /dev/cgroup_cpuacct* As cgroups hieracrhy inside libvirtd has changed in libvirt-1.0.6-1, we feel that the above commands are now not sufficient. We feel we have to do some more steps get the 'cgroups' mounted properly on our hardware. Since we are new to libvirt and can you please help us by providing some pointers to fix the above issue and get cpu-stats working on our HardWare. Since we have to fix this on top priority, can you please reply as soon as possible. Please let us know if you need any further information from our side. Thanks in advance. BR Abhinay

[libvirt-users] QemuAgentCommand API documents
by Praveen Kumar 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi, I was going through the maillist[0] and found virDomainQemuAgentCommand() support function added to python module. I also checked the API documentation and didn't able to find any pointer for this particular function. Is API documentation[1] not updated with these function details yet or I am looking to a wrong place? Another question is I am using libvirt-1.0.5.5-1.fc19.x86_64 and using virsh with qemu-agent-command I am able to execute stuff from host. but I am not able to find any API method to do that, any suggestions?
