[libvirt-users] Installation of libvirt on Ubuntu
by WANG Cheng D
Dear all,
I wonder if libvirt can work on Ubuntu.
As you know, it is very convenient to install libvirt on Fedora. I can download the libvirt packet from libvirt.org and install it using command ./configure, make and make install.
As I am going to install an open source simulation system named openairinterface, Ubuntu is the recommended OS, and I want to install the simulation system in libvirt lxc. (as you may know, there is another lxc user space tool on Ubuntu whose official website is "https://linuxcontainers.org", which I don't want to use).
My questions are:
1) Can I install libvirt on Ubuntu with the same installation steps as on Fedora (i.e., manually download the tar.gz packet and install it locally)? I found a link talking about installation libvirt on Ubuntu which installs something like "libvirt-bin" (https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/libvirt.html). I am not sure if libvirt can be installed following this instruction?
2) How can I create the rootfs for a Ubuntu container if libvirt can be installed on Ubuntu? I create the rootfs for Fedora container using:
# yum --installroot=/root/fedora16linux container --releasever=19 install -y openssh, bridge-utils".
How can I achieve this on Ubuntu?
3) If libvirt can work on Ubuntu, Can a disk file on the host OS be exposed to a Ubuntu container just like on Fedora?
With my warmest regards,
Cheng Wang

</console>
I expected host:/dev/pts/1 is paired with guest:/dev/hvc0
So I tried to communicate with minicom,echo,cat with these two but I saw no
output. what I echo on /dev/pts/1 doesn't pass to /dev/hvc0 or vice verse.

Re: [libvirt-users] no luck with filesystem storage type [solved]
by Boylan, Ross
I needed one more option to make it work:
# mount -t 9p /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /mnt/SASInstaller,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
# mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller
The page you referenced also mentions using -oversion=9p2000.L. There is some additional info on the versions at
http://landley.net/kdocs/Documentation/filesystems/9p.txt; that page says .L is the default, while http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#Starting_the_Guest_using_libvirt says it's .U. I don't know how to tell which I ended up with.
Thanks for the pointer.
Ross

You need to mount it:
mount -t 9p /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller
The target 'dir' is not really a directory, it's just a mount tag.

[libvirt-users] no luck with filesystem storage type
by Boylan, Ross
I have a directory on the host that I would like to be visible in the guest/domain. Using virt-manager I selected the directory, resulting in this configuration:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<source dir='/mnt/SASInstaller'/>
<target dir='/mnt/SASInstaller'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/>
</filesystem>
I created the /mnt/SASInstaller manually in the VM.
Nothing shows up. What am I missing? Do I need to run something in the VM (running Linux) to make it work?
Thanks.

anyone can give me some hint on this issue?

[libvirt-users] machine='pc-q35-2.1' and sata controller
by Thomas Stein
Hello.
I'm not able to disable the sata controller on a machine='pc-q35-2.1' type VM.
Whenever i delete:
<controller type='sata' index='0'>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f'
function='0x2'/>
</controller>
it gets added again when i close the editor.
The reason i would like to delete the sata controller is this error while
trying to migrate the machine:
2015-02-23 19:04:11.181+0000: 1972: error : qemuMonitorJSONCheckError:381 :
internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'migrate': State blocked by
non-migratable device '0000:00:1f.2/ich9_ahci'
Someone has an idea to solve this?
thanks and cheers

[libvirt-users] virsh dom state
by Fiorenza Meini
Hi there,
I'm running KVM under Openstack .
When I give virsh list command, I see some VM in NON persistent state.
What does it mean? How can I move it to a persisten state ?
I found that I cannot make a snapshot, from Openstack , of a machine
which is in a NON PERSISTENT state.
Regards
Fiorenza

[libvirt-users] java binding in central maven repository
by Laszlo Hornyak
Hi,
The last libvirt artifact published to the maven central repository was
0.4.7 in 2011.
The libvirt.org/maven2 repository is updated, but
- sometimes the libvirt.org webserver is not responding and that breaks
the build.
- for similar reasons projects depending on other maven repositories can
not upload to central repository
Can we get back updates to maven central repo?
Best regards,
Laszlo
