[libvirt-users] virRandomBits - not very random
by Brian Rak 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

I just ran into an issue where I had about 30 guests get duplicate mac addresses assigned. These were scattered across 30 different machines. Some debugging revealed that: 1) All the host machines were restarted within a couple seconds of each other 2) All the host machines had fairly similar libvirtd pids (within ~100 PIDs of each other) 3) Libvirt seeds the RNG using 'time(NULL) ^ getpid()' This perfectly explains why I saw so many duplicate mac addresses. Why is the RNG seed such a predictable value? Surely there has to be a better source of a random seed then the timestamp and the pid? The PID seems to me to be a very bad source of any randomness. I just ran a test across 60 of our hosts. 43 of them shared their PID with at least one other machine.

[libvirt-users] Freeze Windows Guests For Consistent Storage Snapshots
by Payes Anand 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, Is it possible to freeze windows guests for a consistent storage level snapshot. I am using openstack icehouse on centos 6.6 Hypervisor: KVM Libvirt: 0.10.2 Qemu: 0.10.2 Guest OS: Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 I was able to freeze Centos guests by issuing the command: virsh qemu-agent-command <guest_ID> '{"execute":"guest-fsfreeze-freeze"}' For CentOS guests, I enabled access between compute nodes and guests through a socket by setting metadata parameter, hw_qemu_guest_agent=yes for the guest image. And then installing qemu-guest-agent inside the guest. What steps do i have to follow for windows ? Regars, Payes

[libvirt-users] HugePages - can't start guest that requires them
by G. Richard Bellamy 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Hello All, I'm trying to enable hugepages, I've turned off THP (Transparent Huge Pages), and enabled hugepages in memoryBacking, and set my 2MB hugepages count via sysctl. I'm getting "libvirtd[5788]: Failed to autostart VM 'atlas': internal error: Unable to find any usable hugetlbfs mount for 16777216 KiB" where atlas is one of my guests and 16777216 KiB is the amount of memory I'm trying to give to the guest. Yes, i can see the hugepages via numastat -m and hugetlbfs is mounted via /dev/hugepages and there is a dir structure /dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu (it's empty). HugePages is big enough to accommodate the 16G i'm allocating... and changing the perms on that directory structure to 777 doesn't work either. Any help is much appreciated.

[libvirt-users] virsh snapshot-create persistent through destroy(undefine)
by Yitao Jiang 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hi, If i take a snapshot of a qcow2 image backed domain via virsh snapshot-create domainID and I shutdown the machine (and probably destroy the domain if virsh list still shows it running), and then undeinfed the domain will that snapshot still exist and be active when I define and start the domain back up? --- Thanks, Yitao(依涛姜) jiangyt.github.io

[libvirt-users] Disk space exhaustion
by Fabrizio Soppelsa 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hello, what happens when an instance writes data with 0% available physical disk space, on QCOW2 images for instance, apart from destruction and unpredictability? I'm aware that monitoring is mandatory in production environments, but are there other known industry tricks to deal with this? Soft/hard limit settings, autopause/stop, or does KVM react in doing force shut down the VM in question? Thank you, Fabrizio.

[libvirt-users] redistribute virtual machines from vps hosting to end users
by Vasiliy Tolstov 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hi. I need to get ability to download backups of kvm virtual machines (raw images) to end users. Virtualbox users can import ovs images, that i can create, but in case of linux and virt-manager - how users can import images and simply run it? I think about newbie linux users, that can install virt-manager under ubuntu via graphical package manager and do some easy steps... Can you share me info how can i do needed things ?=)Or may be some admins/users already solve this kind of "problems"... -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru jabber: vase(a)selfip.ru

[libvirt-users] Windows Guest ignores CPU topology settings on Ubuntu Lucid host
by Karol Jędrzejczyk 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

I try to assign 8 host cores to Windows 2003 Server Standard guest. Because this OS version has a limit of 4 sockets, I have to change the CPU topology. My guest definition: <vcpu>8</vcpu> <cpu match='minimum'> <model>core2duo</model> <topology sockets='4' cores='1' threads='2'/> </cpu> doesn't work as expected. I should have 4 CPUs in the Device Manager and 8 CPU charts in Task Manager, but I have the opposite. And no matter what numbers I set in the topology, the guest always detects 8 sockets. What am I doing wrong? libvirt 0.7.5 qemu-kvm 0.12.3 -- Karol Jędrzejczyk

Is it possible to do port mirroring while using sriov in the same host and in different host I am using libvirt What must i do? Perhaps bridge two controller virtual function If yes, should I do it with ovs-vsctl, or there is a libvirt functionnality libvirt version: 0.10.2, package: 29.el6_5.12 Open vSwitch) 1.9.0 My ethernet card is...

Re: [libvirt-users] Sr-iov passthrough - no packet arrive to guest
by Yaron Illouz 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

I can see from different post that if working with sr-iov, i should work with vlan Is this an obligation to work with vlan if working with sr-iov? If not according to which parameter will the different vf get the traffic. Let's say i declare max_vfs=7, how will the traffic be seperated between the vm? However till i get an answer i tried to work with vlan And i still don't get traffic in vm, but i see packet arriving in the physical interface of the host I tried to do the following to define the vlan In virsh edit <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'> <mac address='52:54:00:60:7f:57'/> <source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x15' slot='0x10' function='0x0'/> </source> <vlan> <tag id='44'/> </vlan> <alias name='hostdev0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </interface> In host ip link 23: eth6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 38:ea:a7:8f:fa:98 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 MAC 52:54:00:60:7f:57, vlan 44 In guest modprob 8021q eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:60:7F:57 inet6 addr: fe80::5054:ff:fe60:7f57/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1156 (1.1 KiB) eth1.44 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:60:7F:57 inet6 addr: fe80::5054:ff:fe60:7f57/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 ________________________________ From: Yaron Illouz Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2015 9:56 PM To: 'libvirt-users(a)redhat.com' Subject: Sr-iov passthrough - no packet arrive to guest Hi I am trying to do passthrough to guest using sriov and libvirt I tried to use both techniques from here http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Assignment_with_.3Chostdev.3E <http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Assignment_with_.3Chostdev.3E> Assignment from a pool of SRIOV VFs in a libvirt <network> definition Assignment with <interface type='hostdev'> (SRIOV devices only) <network> <name>passthrough-eth6</name> <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> <pf dev='eth6'/> </forward> </network> I launch the vm, there is a vm with virt-install .... --network network=passthrough-eth6 I inject traffic with a generator so I defined it in promisc mode without an ip address.(ifconfig eth6 promisc up) In my physical device eth6 i can see RX increasing.
