[libvirt-users] libvirt and lvm thin pool

by Vasiliy Tolstov

Hi all. I'm using libvirt 1.2.6 I want to use lvm storage for my virtual machines. But i want to use new lvm2 feature - thin pool. How can i do that in libvirt? If libvirt can't create it via pool xml, does (and how) to use this setup under libvirt? -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru jabber: vase(a)selfip.ru

[libvirt-users] "virsh list" doesn't show correct state in case of no reply from Guest OS

by Koji Inami

Hello, we were facing a bit of problem that "virsh list" command didn't show correct state, and I report it. I'm talking about a following message, for example. [root@server ~]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 1 rhel65 running The command showed "running" in spite of no reply from a Guest OS, while qemu process was dumping a corefile. So I guess the process was dying at that time. I'm sure the command shouldn't show "running" state because the process was not running. I believe that "crushed" or "shut off" are better than "running" in virDomainState. Please see: http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html I'd like to hear your thinking. Best Regards, Koji

[libvirt-users] virtio hotplug in CentOS 5.10 guest incomplete

by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn

Hi, I just tried to hot-plug a virtio disk to a CentOS 5.10 guest that runs on a CentOS 6.5 host. The Problem is that while the device shows up under /sys/ the corresponding device node does not: /sys/devices/virtio-pci/virtio0: bus device driver modalias net:eth0 power status subsystem uevent vendor /sys/devices/virtio-pci/virtio1: block:vda bus device driver modalias power serial status subsystem uevent vendor /sys/devices/virtio-pci/virtio2: bus device driver modalias power status subsystem uevent vendor So virtio0 is eth0 and virt1 is vda but virtio2 has no device associated with it. Any ideas why the system doesn't pick up the device all the way? Regards, Dennis

[libvirt-users] XP and virtio

by Mauricio Tavares

So I need to create a XP vm. I am using lvm logical volumes for its disk, so I am using virtio. I got the iso in http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/images/, but how do I feed it to the XP install? I did try to mount it as a floppy and it hung there on "please wait"; I guess that means it did not like a 70MB iso as its floppy. But it also does not seem to want to look for the drivers if I mount the .iso as a CD. What else can I try?
