I was getting vCPU use time outside of guest with libvirt-python API, and them calculate utilization with (cpuTime2 - cpuTime1) / (t2 - t1).

[libvirt-users] virsh dominfo does not show correct cpuTime

Hi, I am doing some domain resource monitoring work. I use cat /dev/urandom | md5sum to simulate vCPU load and write a script to calculate vCPU utilization. It seems all good at the beginning. After I abort the ``cat ... md5sum`` command in domain, I see some strange data as below: CPU time: 8410960000000 CPU util: 99.8410609331% CPU time: 8411970000000 CPU util: 100.843672381% CPU time: 8412380000000 CPU util: 40.9336949531% CPU time: 8412440000000 CPU util: 5.9899303915% *CPU time: 8412440000000* *CPU util: 0.0%* CPU time: 8412490000000 CPU util: 4.99165856007% *CPU time: 8412490000000* *CPU util: 0.0%* *CPU time: 8412490000000* *CPU util: 0.0%* CPU time: 8412570000000 CPU util: 7.987195515% *CPU time: 8412570000000* *CPU util: 0.0%* CPU time: 8412590000000 CPU util: 1.99668576091% CPU time: 8412670000000 CPU util: 7.98700539474% CPU time: 8412720000000 CPU util: 4.99167281754% CPU time: 8412780000000 CPU util: 5.98888552548% Looking at those 0.0% lines.

[libvirt-users] global lock when executing hook scripts
by Vasiliy Tolstov 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hello. I'm try to understand, why in case of 20 workers libvirt fully locked when runs qemu hook (when domain starts) virsh list freezes. As i understand in case of using more workers it utilized to run hooks too, but as i see in pstree only main libvirt process executes hook. Why this happening? pstree -a -p 6642 libvirtd,6642 -d -l ├─qemu,9272 /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu testvm prepare begin - │ └─prepare,9468 -x /usr/local/prepare.sh testvm │ └─sleep,9469 5000 ├─{libvirtd},6643 ├─{libvirtd},6644 ├─{libvirtd},6645 ├─{libvirtd},6646 ├─{libvirtd},6647 ├─{libvirtd},6648 -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru

Dell Customer Communication Hi everyone, I am trying to do a virsh using TLS Certificate. I am getting an error that "error: authentication failed: Failed to verify peer's certificate" I am following the steps mentioned in the http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TLSSetup I have generated CA Certificate, client certificate and server certificate and placed them as mentioned in above site. After that when I am trying to do a virsh it is failing. Please let me know if anyone has encountered this kind of issue. virsh -c qemu+tls://172.14.5.6/system list error: failed to connect to hypervisor error: authentication failed: Failed to verify peer's certificate Thanks & Regards, Dhaval Shah

[libvirt-users] Migrate KVM linux based VM to microsoft Hyper-v
by test comp 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Hi, I am searching around this topic but didn't get any suitable link, can you guys please help with this. i have my linux based VM as .img which is built on top of VirtIO protocol and runs fine on KVM or qemu. i am trying to port the same on the Microsoft Hyper-V but it is not working. I get blank screen with no other actions, tried the same on virtual box also but result is same. i have converted the vm.img format to .vhd, .vhdx, .vmdk , .vdi using different tools like qemu-img , and other windows based tools. but no success. I am running hyper-v on windows 10. My existing linux based VM setup works on qemu both in Centos and windows, but other than that its not working on any other hyper visor. i am not sure whether i need to update My VM's drivers to support hyper-V. Please guide me in the right direction. Regards Roshan S

[libvirt-users] Hot Cloning - clone running Virtual Machines
by NoxDaFox 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Greetings, I am running a test automation service which makes use of QEMU/KVM. As the tests run for few minutes, the time spent booting the OS (Windows) is quite a waste of resources so I decided to play a bit around the idea of hot cloning running VMs. Following an old discussion I found, I proceeded with saving the VM state through virsh save, edit its XML file with virsh save-image-edit and restore it through virsh restore. The problem comes when I try to change some specific fields in the XML. As I run several instances on the same server, I need to provide different names and UUIDs to avoid collisions. Unfortunately, libvirt forbids this operation issuing the following error message: error: unsupported configuration: Target domain uuid 7c85e288-88fe-43d2-8b9c-89af4c83c10a does not match source 62f28517-8601-4d2e-942c-a20d087f9f4a Same thing applies with the name field. Is this a limitation of the API or it is a designed protection mechanism? Would it be possible to overcome this limit? Thank you.

[libvirt-users] Can't figure out how to restart VM after making config changes in virt-manager
by KARR, DAVID 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

I finally figured out my VNC configuration, so I can now run virt-manager to inspect and manipulate my VM. I initially created the VM with "virt-install", but I haven't been able to see the console or do anything with it. When I ran virt-manager, I tried to configure the vcpus (1->4) and change the boot order (cdrom, then disk, as I created the VM with an ISO). When I made these changes, virt-manager said they would take effect on the next restart of the VM. So, then I tried to restart the VM from virt-manager. The "Run" button is disabled, so I assume that means it detects that the VM is running. I've tried clicking "Shut Down" and selecting "Reboot" from the dropdown, but neither of those seem to do anything. I've tried to view the console window, but I've only ever seen a black screen there. I believe some people mentioned that I should try sshing to the VM. I would do that if I could find an IP address or hostname that appears to correspond to this VM. The obvious, using the VM name, didn't work. I'm not sure what to do here.

Hello, I issue the command below to migrate virtual machine "jabber" from host vmserver5 to vmserver3 I see the machine is created at the destination, paused on both sides, but the process fails with the error below (and the destination VM is removed) root@vmserver5:~/# virsh migrate --p2p --unsafe jabber qemu+ssh://vmserver3/system error: internal error: migration was active, but no RAM info was set Relevant Software versions: vmserver5: ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============================================-============================-============================-= vmserver3: ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==================================-=============================-============-============================ ii kvm 1:1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u8 amd64 dummy transitional package from kvm to qemu-kvm ii libvirt-bin 1.2.9-9~bpo70+1 amd64 programs for the libvirt library ii qemu-kvm 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u8 amd64 Full virtualization on x86 hardware Both machines have shared storage mounted in same place.
