[libvirt-users] ceph rbd pool and libvirt manageability (virt-install)
by Jelle de Jong
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello everybody,
I created a rbd pool and activated it, but I can't seem to create
volumes in it with virsh or virt-install?
# virsh pool-dumpxml myrbdpool
<pool type='rbd'>
<name>myrbdpool</name>
<uuid>2d786f7a-2df3-4d79-ae60-1535bcf1c6b5</uuid>
<capacity unit='bytes'>6997998301184</capacity>
<allocation unit='bytes'>10309227031</allocation>
<available unit='bytes'>6977204658176</available>
<source>
<host name='ceph01.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
<host name='ceph02.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
<host name='ceph03.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
<name>libvirt-pool</name>
<auth type='ceph' username='libvirt'>
<secret uuid='029a334e-ed57-4293-bb99-ffafa8867122'/>
</auth>
</source>
</pool>
# virt-install --version
1.0.1
# virsh --version
1.2.9
I ended using virsh edit ceph-test.powercraft.nl and making creating
the disk manually.
<disk type='network' device='disk'>
<auth username='libvirt'>
<secret type='ceph' uuid='029a334e-ed57-4293-bb99-ffafa8867122'/>
</auth>
<source protocol='rbd' name='libvirt-pool/kvm01-storage'>
<host name='ceph01.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
<host name='ceph02.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
<host name='ceph03.powercraft.nl' port='6789'/>
</source>
<target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>
I use virt-install a lot to define, import and undefine domains, how
can I use virt-install to manage my rdb disks?
Kind regards,
Jelle de Jong

[libvirt-users] virRandomBits - not very random
by Brian Rak
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] stream finish throws exception via python API
by Shahar Havivi
Hi,
The following snippet works fine e.g. receiving the data but when calling
stream.finish() we get the following error:
stream = con.newStream()
vol.download(stream, 0, 0, 0)
buf = stream.recv(1024)
stream.finish()
libvirt: I/O Stream Utils error : internal error: I/O helper exited abnormally
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./helpers/kvm2ovirt", line 149, in <module>
download_volume(vol, item[1], diskno, disksitems, pksize)
File "./helpers/kvm2ovirt", line 102, in download_volume
stream.finish()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 5501, in finish
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virStreamFinish() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: I/O helper exited abnormally
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you,
Shahar.

[libvirt-users] unhelpful error message on failed "virsh migrate"
by Andreas Buschmann
Hello,
I have two servers where I can push VMs from one to the other by issuing
the command
virsh migrate --live --persistent --copy-storage-all --verbose \
test6 qemu+ssh://kvmhost2/system
on kvmhost1. I can get the VM back by issuing the equivalent command on
kvmhost2:
virsh migrate --live --persistent --copy-storage-all --verbose \
test6 qemu+ssh://kvmhost1/system
After an update (on behalf of the glibc bug) it only works for some VMs
and fails for others. The error message is unhelpful:
virsh --debug 4 migrate --live --persistent --copy-storage-all --verbose \
vmware-mgmt qemu+ssh://kvmhost1/system
error: internal error: info migration reply was missing return status
Is there a way to get a more helpful error message?
migrating VMs only works for a very limited subset of the VMs on the
system in the direction kvmhost2 --> kvmhost2
Stopping the VMs, copying them over to kvmhost1 and restarting still
works, and I can even migrate them back.
How do I debug this problem?
One possible way would be to stop all VMs on kvmhost2, manually copy
them to kvmhost1 and start them
and afterwards reinstall all packages
(or the whole Server if that doesn't help)
But that would be a workaround, and I still would not know what the
problem is.
The system is CentOS 7.2 now and was CentOS 7.1 before the upgrade, with
the qemu-kvm-rhev repo added for qemu.
Mit freundlichen Gruessen

[libvirt-users] migrate local storage to ceph | exchanging the storage system
by Björn Lässig
TLDR: Why is virsh migrate --persistent --live domain
qemu+ssh://root@host/system --xml domain.ceph.xml
not persistent and what could i do about it?
Hi,
after years of beeing pleased with local storage and migrating the
complete storage from one host to another, it was time for ceph.
After setting up a cluster and testing it, its time now for moving a lot
of VMs on that type of storage, without a disturbance if possible.
So I 'virsh dumpxml domain > domain.ceph.xml', edit the file, replace
// ---- old ---- //
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/>
<source file='domain.img'/>
<backingStore/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04'
function='0x0'/>
</disk>
// ---- with new ---- //
<disk type='network' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<auth username='libvirt'>
<secret type='ceph' uuid='53e4ba03-5ad0-4f1e-b69e-897afba272ff'/>
</auth>
<source protocol='rbd' name='libvirt/domain'>
<host name='cephmon0' port='6789'/>
<host name='cephmon1' port='6789'/>
<host name='cephmon2' port='6789'/>
</source>
<backingStore/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<boot order='1'/>
<alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04'
function='0x0'/>
</disk>
Now i'm calling:
root@host_a:~# virsh migrate --verbose --p2p --copy-storage-all
--persistent --change-protection --abort-on-error --undefinesource
--live domain qemu+ssh://root@host_b/system --xml domain.ceph.xml
This takes its time to copy everything into ceph, but when its over, i
never have to migrate Terabytes of Storage again.
But its not over.
The new domain definition on host_b is not persistent and after a
shutdown, local storage is used again.
What do i have todo, to make this change persistent, or is there a
better way for doing this?
(i am using libvirt 1.2.9)
Thanks in advance

Re: [libvirt-users] Windows Server 2008 - KVM
by Thiago Oliveira
Hi there!
I have installed a new VM with Win2k8 and the serial virtio driver works
fine. I don´t know why the other VM the BSOD happen!
About the performance, I had the impression that only one core is
used.....PID 8301 is a linux VM with 4 VCPU and 2 GB of RAM...

Re: [libvirt-users] Windows Server 2008 - KVM
by Thiago Oliveira
Hi there!
Although the guest has 2GB memory, the windows guest was adjusted to
support this.
I guess that the LVM is the best choice! I will save all images to other
disk and re-build the partition with LVM. Do you recomend to use ext4 or
zfs ?
- About the apparmor, I have my doubts, I will try to disable and see what
will happen!
- About the tablet input device, I removed! Some forums say that consuming
idle cpu time.
- About the guest agent, I have installed, but the first service can´t
start!
The error says:
*A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the QEMU
Guest Agent service to connect.*
[image: Imagem inline 1]
I´m using the virtio-win-0.1.117.iso, but I don´t know if this is updated.
Thanks for your reply and your help!

[libvirt-users] Issue with fsfreeze with qemu agent.
by Dominique Ramaekers
Hi,
I use external snapshots to backup my guests. I use the 'quiesce' option to flush and frees the guest file system with the qemu guest agent.
With the exeption of one guest, this procedure works fine. On the 'unwilling' guest, I get this error message:
"ERROR 2016-05-25 00:51:19 | T25-bakVMSCmsrvVH2 | fout: internal error: unable to execute QEMU agent command 'guest-fsfreeze-freeze': failed to freeze /: Device or resource busy"
I don't think this is not some sort of time-out error, because activation of the fsfreeze and the error message happen immediately after each other:
$ grep qemu-ga syslog.1
May 25 00:51:19 CmsrvMTA qemu-ga: info: guest-fsfreeze called
This is the only entry of the qemu guest agent in syslog.
The difference of this guest in compresence with other, is that this guest runs postfix + amavis + spammassasin + clamav
Any help would be appreciated.
More info:
$ sudo virsh version
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using library: libvirt 1.3.1
Gebruikte API: QEMU 1.3.1
Draaiende hypervisor: QEMU 2.5.0
$ virsh qemu-agent-command CmsrvMTA '{"execute": "guest-info"}'
{"return":{"version":"2.5.0", ... ,{"enabled":true,"name":"guest-fstrim","success-response":true},{"enabled":true,"name":"guest-fsfreeze-thaw","success-response":true},{"enabled":true,"name":"guest-fsfreeze-status","success-response":true},{"enabled":true,"name":"guest-fsfreeze-freeze-list","success-response":true},{"enabled":true,"name":"guest-fsfreeze-freeze","success-response":true}, ... }
For making an external snapshot, I use this command:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as --domain CmsrvMTA sn1 --disk-only --atomic --quiesce --no-metadata --diskspec vda,file=/srv/poolVMS/CmsrvMTA.sn1
Greetings,
Dominique.

[libvirt-users] Windows, qemu.agent is it possible to shut down services in running windows server?
by Marko Weber | 8000
Hi List,
i installed qemu-agent on a windows server and it is working as
expected.
I can send via virsh commands. I already performed successful an online
backup of an windows server.
Now my question is, is it possible to execute commands on the windows
server via qemu-agent?
I want to shutdown the MSSQL Service before doing backups.
Is that possible? i dont find any helpful pages in net.
Any hints & tipps are welcome
Marko
