[libvirt-users] Suspend Domain (virsh suspend) or Freeze Filesystems (virsh domfsfreze) to take Snapshot of ISCSI volume
by Payes Anand 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Hi everybody, I am trying to take snapshot of a particular iscsi disk mounted inside the guest operating system. I have created my own snapshot feature for that. Could someone please suggest the better choice for stopping read/write operations on disk out of the two to take snapshots, or if you have any better solution, 1) freeze filesystems ( using domfsfreeze ) and then take the snapshot or, 2) suspend the VM ( using virsh suspend ) and then take the snapshot And, before taking the snapshots what other operations should i perform ( like sync or flush buffer ) for a consistent snapshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Payes

[libvirt-users] Trouble creating virtio-serial device
by David Richardson 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Hello, I've running Ubuntu-14.04 as my host and my guest. I've been trying to get guest to host communication set up by configuring a virtio-serial device. My xml file contains: <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/home/dave/vm1.agent'/> <target type='virtio' name='vm1'/> </channel> When I start up the VM, I get the following error: error: Failed to create domain from vm1.xml error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/home/dave/vm1.agent,server,nowait: Failed to bind socket: Permission denied qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/home/dave/vm1.agent,server,nowait: chardev: opening backend "socket" failed dmesg shows what appears to be an apparmor denial for mknod: [250108.632450] type=1400 audit(1415994657.679:152): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" profile="libvirt-2fd2ec54-f644-228e-08ba-297c8b304153" name="/home/dave/vm1.agent" pid=21856 comm="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=112 ouid=112 I can add a line to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu similar to: owner /home/dave/vm1.agent rw, After restarting apparmor, this gets rid of the apparmor complaint, but I still get the same error from 'virsh create vm1.xml' when trying to create the VM. Any suggestions for how to fix this? Thanks, ~Dave

[libvirt-users] Is there a way to disable libvirt qemu monitor while creating kvm vm using virsh?
by Min Du 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Hi, Now for some reason, I need to add “ -qmp tcp:127.0.0.1:1235” when creating a KVM VM using libvirt. This command meaning in “qemu-kvm --help” is: -qmp dev like -monitor but opens in 'control' mode. I added command-line equivalent options into the xml file, like below format: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value="-s"/> <qemu:arg value="-qmp"/> <qemu:arg value="tcp:127.0.0.1:1235"/> </qemu:commandline> However when I create VM using this xml file, I got the error: # virsh create instance-libvirt.xml error: Failed to create domain from instance-libvirt.xml error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -qmp tcp:127.0.0.1:1235: Duplicate ID 'monitor' for mon duplicate chardev: monitor The VM I created, without “—qmp” option, has below options showing in “ps aux | grep qemu-kvm”: -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/vmifs_test.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control Looks like libvirt automatically adds the monitor options upon VM creation. Is there a way to disable this and use “—qmp” instead when creating VM? Thanks for your help. Best Regards, Min

[libvirt-users] net passthrough (hostdev) and external DNS problem - libvirt host claims DNS update
by lejeczek 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

hi everybody I'm having I pretty regular setup, so I'd like to think. Guest network is to use passthrough and a DNS+DHCP on a neighbour system gets requests and then DHCP updates DNS records but with libvirt host's name instead of guest's. Am I missing something here? How do make a guest claim DNS update and the not host on which that guest is running? many thanks P.
