[libvirt-users] converted VMDK disk iamge and Virtio driver
by Paul Raines 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

I have a CentOS 5 VM in vmware I wanted to move to work on KVM/libvirt. I used qemu-img to convert it to a qcow2 image, loaded virt-manager and created a new VM pointed at that qcow2 image. The boot paniced when it tried to mount the root filesystem also complaining about not being able to remount the swap partition. I played around and was able to get it to boot by changing the Virtual disk bus to IDE from Virtio. Searched about Virtio and I got to http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio and ran the mkinitrd mentioned to force loading of the virtio_pci and virtio_blk drivers. But upon shutting down, configuring the bus back to Virtio and booting it panics in the exact same way. I tried again after adding virtio_blk into /etc/modprobe.conf as scsi_hostadapter and rerunning mkinitrd but it still fails. Any clues what I am missing? --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines http://help.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.

[libvirt-users] dumpxml removes <source> portion from network descritiption
by Thomas Stein 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hello. I have a strange error with one of my VMs. If i use dumpxml to save a VM description the source part of the network part is missing. This prevents redifining the machine from the dumped xml file: This is how it looks before dumpxml: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:34:a1:56'/> <source bridge='br406'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> And afterwards: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:34:a1:56'/> <target dev='vnet6'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> Someone has an idea whats causing this? Is there a special option maybe? thanks and best regards t.

[libvirt-users] Use keepalive to monitor health of qemu-kvm process
by Abhijeet Rastogi 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi everyone, I've had instances where qemu-kvm process dies and become a zombie. At that state, libvirtd reports the instance to be running and I can't restart the VM because libvirtd fails to kill the qemu-kvm process. Finding the root cause of that is a topic for another day. I also see this line in logs: Jun 15 13:36:57 d12566 libvirtd: 10424: warning : virKeepAliveTimerInternal:156 : No response from client 0x1600420 after 5 keepalive messages in 31 seconds Is it possible to monitor the keepAlive thing via command-line ? (as a nagios check). I know that I can poll for that line in the logs but is there a better way? I couldn't find any option in virsh to do a KeepAlive check. Thanks -- Cheers, Abhijeet Rastogi (shadyabhi)

[libvirt-users] Libvirt 1.2.5/Qemu woes
by andy zerger 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hi all - I'm dealing with a libvirt 1.2.5 and Qemu-1.7.1 also Qemu-2.0 (all source compile,) which somehow isn't seeing any hypervisors when connected to via virt-manager. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong but cannot figure out what. My basic config and current state here in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m5M8PfFC Thanks for any input, this has been baffling. Best Regards, Andy

[libvirt-users] libvirt issue while deploying a VM
by Zvi Dubitzky 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Using libvirt under openstack I encounter a problem when launching a VM with multiple partitions (2 G image) , While a single partition can be launched successfully . The launch is done with Openstack. We are using in libvirtd.conf log_level=1 and log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" we can see that in /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log appear the following error message and the VM is finally shutdown : 2014-06-11 14:47:26.166+0000: 12971: error : qemuMonitorIO:614 : internal error End of file from monitor ( file attached below) ( VM shutdown seen here) The host has enough resources( we see no complains) and the XML of the VM is : The libvirt version is: 0.10.2 The qemu-kvm version: 0.12.1.2 >From the internet we could not figure out a solution to the problem Any idea what is causing this error and how to overcome ? Thx Zvi Dubitzky Email:dubi@il.ibm.com

[libvirt-users] libvirt, openSUSE, SuSeFirewall2 and port forwarding
by Johannes Kastl 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list, I thought I had already asked this question, but apparently I just started writing a draft mail and never sent it (at least I can't find it in the archives). Has anyone setup qemu VMs using libvirt on openSUSE, and has gotten port forwarding to work? I used on of the many scripts out there, that go into /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu, and it is being called. Somehow it seems once in a while SuSefirewall2 just forgets about iptable rules set with this script. And sometimes they don't appear, even if the script is executed. Anyone else having the same issues? Any openSUSE users willing to try this? Thanks in advance! Regards, Johannes - -- What do Bud Light and sex in a canoe have in common? Both is fuckin' close to water. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SeaMonkey - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlOcmAAACgkQzi3gQ/xETbJRwwCfZe3YKXfQG7O0aHFDvD6EwXus a/8An36n1L/pAWSTuue3w0GG2ovAsw07 =aLj5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[libvirt-users] Status of Host machine.
by Sijo Jose 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hi, Using libvirt how can we check the status of a remote/local host machine.. isAlive() method is giving true even if the internet connection is broken OR libvirt demon in the remote machine is being stopped. so isAlive() does not seems to be handy, Is there some other way to get the status of remote host..? Thanks -Sijo
