[libvirt-users] libvirt_lxc namespace and umount in global namespace
by Olivier Nicaise 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, I am currently having an issue with the libvirt_lxc binary that is launched when starting a lxc instance using libvirt. This process seems to have its own namespace for mounts. What happens is that if I umount something in the global namespace, it stays mounted in the libvirt_lxc namespace. I'm working with drbd, and after unmounting the mount point, I want to change the state of the drbd resource as Secondary. But if fails. Indeed, libvirt_lxc has still the resource which is mounted in its namespace. Currently, I wanted to test the setns tool to enter the namespace and umount the mount point. But I am currently on Ubuntu 12.04 with a 3.2.0-59 kernel which does not have /proc/[pid]/ns/mnt I can't upgrade to 3.8 (which have the proc mnt file) as the drbd tools are not compatible. Do you have an idea of what I could try ? Here I the steps I do to reproduce the issue: - Mount a drbd file system - Start a lxc instance with libvirt - Umount the drbd file system - Set the drbd resource as secondary. => Does not work

[libvirt-users] problem with nwfilter direction='out'
by Stephan Sachse 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

i test the following simple filter <filter name='nwfilter-test-fedora2' chain='root'> <uuid>ccbd255f-4be5-4f0f-8835-770ea40cb2c9</uuid> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'> <tcp dstipaddr='10.1.24.0' dstipmask='24' comment='test test test'/> </rule> </filter> but i get strange results (look at the attached output of iptables-save) for me it looks like the direction='out' filters are attached to every chain for this domain. additional there are wrong conntrack, state and ctdir matches. is this a bug or my fault? /stephan -- Software is like sex, it's better when it's free!

[libvirt-users] Networkfilters in Routed setup
by h0rst 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hello! Since i could not find any information on the internet about this subject, i'm going to try my luck on this list. I'm trying to setup network-filter on a routed setup. I have a root-server at Hetzner, a german hosting provider. Along with my server i ordered a (/28) subnet to be able to setup dedicated IPs for my virtual machines (KVM). My Server is running Ubuntu 12.04 with libvirt 0.9.8 . Since Hetzner does not allow any bridged traffic, i had to setup a routed network. Currently my (via libvirt) defined network looks like this: (lets assume my subnet is 1.2.3.64/28): <network> <name>hetzner-subnet-v4</name> <forward dev='eth0' mode='route'> <interface dev='eth0'/> </forward> <bridge name='route-br0' stp='off' delay='0' /> <mac address='52:54:00:F0:D0:AA'/> <ip address='1.2.3.65' netmask='255.255.255.240'></ip> </network> The network definition for all running VMs looks like this: <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:00:00:##'/> <source network='hetzner-subnet-v4'/> </interface> Without using Network-Filters, this setup is running as expected. All traffic is correctly forwarded to my virtual machines connected to "route-br0" and the following iptables-rules are created in the FORWARD Chain: Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) target prot opt in out source destination ACCEPT all -- eth0 route-br0 0.0.0.0/0 1.2.3.64/28 ACCEPT all -- route-br0 eth0 1.2.3.64/28 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT all -- route-br0 route-br0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 REJECT all -- * route-br0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- route-br0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable When i try to setup a network-filter for a VM (a modified version of http://libvirt.org/formatnwfilter.html last example): <filter name='server-x' chain='root'> <filterref filter='clean-traffic'/> <rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='500'> <all state='ESTABLISHED'/> </rule> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'> <all state='ESTABLISHED,RELATED'/> </rule> <rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='500'> <tcp state='NEW' dstportstart='22'/> </rule> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'> <all state='NEW'/> </rule> <rule action='drop' direction='inout' priority='500'> <all/> </rule> </filter> and adding the filter to my interface-definition of a VM using the following syntax: <filterref filter='server-x'> <parameter name='IP' value='1.2.3.70'/> </filterref> additional iptable-rules are getting created. The problematic rule seems to be the following: -A libvirt-out -m physdev --physdev-out vnetX -g FO-vnetX which should trigger the following rules: -A FO-vnetX -p all -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FO-vnetX -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT But this actually never happens. The FO-vnetX Chain never sees any packets and my syslog says: xt_physdev: using --physdev-out in the OUTPUT, FORWARD and POSTROUTING chains for non-bridged traffic is not supported anymore Am i doing something wrong? I hope i did not write too much useless stuff here. I'm tried to figure it all out by myself, but im currently stuck. Lets hope some wise guys can help me out here. Maybe there is some documentation i have missed? Thanks! kind regards, Sebastian

[libvirt-users] Errors with ESX driver & floppy0.filename
by Phil Mayers 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

We're getting the following error with one or two ESX VMs using libvirt; I'm only trying to read the domain config here, not make changes: libvir: error : internal error Invalid or not yet handled value 'Floppy drive 1' for VMX entry 'floppy0.fileName' Is there a way I can tell it to ignore unknown stuff?

[libvirt-users] Right way to do SAN-based shared storage?
by urgrue 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

I'm trying to set up SAN-based shared storage in KVM, key word being "shared" across multiple KVM servers for a) live migration and b) clustering purposes. But it's surprisingly sparsely documented. For starters, what type of pool should I be using?

[libvirt-users] lxc state driver is not active
by Tom Taylor 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

So I've followed this tutorial on a vanilla CentOS 6.5 (x64) hardware install ... http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/LXC-on-CentOS6 (barring the name and location of the container) I'm getting the following error when trying to intialise the container ... # virt-install --connect lxc:/// --name dns --ram 512 --vcpu 1 --filesystem /srv/lxc/dns,/ --noautoconsole ERROR internal error lxc state driver is not active Does this howto miss a step somewhere? Is something in the CentOS distribution broken? # rpm -qa | egrep 'lxc|libvirt' lxc-0.9.0-2.el6.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.10.2-29.el6_5.3.x86_64 lxc-libs-0.9.0-2.el6.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.10.2-29.el6_5.3.x86_64 libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.3.x86_64 lxc-templates-0.9.0-2.el6.x86_64 Thanks Tom Taylor

[libvirt-users] tftp server inside a container ?
by Thomas Elsgaard 15 Feb '14

15 Feb '14

Hi list I am trying to understand the containers in red hat 7, and i have following questions: 1) Would it be possible to run an tftp server inside an container ? 2) Can i have containers binding to vlans on the host, so that i can have containers with overlapping IP networks, but in different vlans ? What i am trying to achieve is 10 containers with an tftp server inside, where the containers are on isolated IP networks via vlans. Thomas
