[libvirt-users] How to assign to PCI slot 0
by Fortman, Andrew 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Hi, I'm new to this group so bear with me. So I need to passthrough a pci device on a particular bus and slot to get Linux to recognize it correctly. I need pci bus 6, slot 0. However whenever I try to use this slot inside of virsh edit it complains: error: XML error: Invalid PCI address 0000:06:00.0. slot must be >= 1 Failed. Try again? [y,n,i,f,?]: Is there a way to work around this ? Like can I disable the strict XML checking or even run the qemu commands manually? Thanks, Andy

[libvirt-users] virsh does no longer respond to commands
by Dominik Psenner 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Hi, after a recent live backup done with a snapshot, blockcommit failed and a subsequent (manual) blockjob abort got stuck. Now we are unable to do basic operations on the virtual machine like if it was frozen and when issuing another command we see the following: $ virsh shutdown $domain error: Failed to shutdown domain $domain error: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock (held by remoteDispatchDomainBlockJobAbort) $ virsh blockcommit $domain --active --pivot error: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock (held by remoteDispatchDomainBlockJobAbort) $ virsh blockjob $domain --abort error: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock (held by remoteDispatchDomainBlockJobAbort) Houston, we've got a problem. We have roughly 16 hours to fix this. Any help is appreciated! -- Dominik Psenner

[libvirt-users] Need to increase the rx and tx buffer size of my interface
by Ashish Kurian 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Dear Users/Developers, I am using a KVM Ubuntu VM as a degrader to apply specific delays to incoming packets. As the delay for my packets can be higher than 7.5 seconds, there is not enough buffer on my interface to buffer all the packets. Therefore those overflowing packets are dropped in the machine and not forwarded. When I tried to use the command ethtool -G ens8 rx 512 to increase the buffer size, I get the following error. Cannot set device ring parameters: Operation not permitted I have kept the VM xml files as specified in the link : https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html. The value that I kept in my xml file is as follows. <interface type='direct'> <mac address='52:54:00:72:f9:eb'/> <source dev='enp7s0f0' mode='vepa'/> <model type='virtio'/> <driver name='vhost' queues='5' rx_queue_size='512' tx_queue_size='512'> <host csum='off' gso='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off' mrg_rxbuf='off'/> <guest csum='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off'/> </driver> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='direct'> <mac address='52:54:00:00:b5:99'/> <source dev='enp7s0f1' mode='vepa'/> <model type='virtio'/> <driver name='vhost' queues='5' rx_queue_size='512' tx_queue_size='512'> <host csum='off' gso='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off' mrg_rxbuf='off'/> <guest csum='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off'/> </driver> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/> After I saved the xml and redefined the machine and started it up, I checked to see if the buffers are increased. I still see that the buffers are as follows. Ring parameters for ens9: Pre-set maximums: RX: 4096 RX Mini: 0 RX Jumbo: 0 TX: 4096 Current hardware settings: RX: *256* RX Mini: 0 RX Jumbo: 0 TX: *256* How can I increase the buffer on my KVM VM? Best Regards, Ashish Kurian

[libvirt-users] virsh + remote VirtualBox
by Konstantin Suvorov 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hello, I have the following setup: 1. MacOS host with VirtualBox installed 2. Ubuntu 16.04 host with libvirt installed What I try to do: Manage VMs executed inside VirtualBox on host 1 with libvirt tools from host 2. I have vboxwebsrv up and running on my MacOS host. I can successfully manage VMs remotely (e.g. with phpvirtualbox). But libvirt (virsh in particular) doesn't work. Reading debug logs, manuals and numerous internet threads leads me to a conclusion, that libvirt does not support remote connection to VirtualBox directly and only via libvirtd daemon installed on the same remote host as VirtualBox. Is this correct? If my assumption is correct, why is that so? Why libvirt can't manage remote VirtualBox directly? Regards, Konstantin.

[libvirt-users] domain CPU topology
by llilulu 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Hi When I create a domain from xml file, the vcpu number point in <vcpu/>, I not point <cpu><topology> in xml file, when allocate more than 2 vpcus, some(windows) system can't use all vcpu. But I point <cpu><topology sockets='1' cores='num' threads='1'/></cpu>. num is <vcpu>'num'</vcpu>. then whindows can use all vcpus. I want to know when no ponit <cpu><topology> ,what default cpu topology. if point cpu topology, what rule guide cpu topology, I find VMware Workstation can point cpu num,and core of per cpu. all cores is cpu*core.

[libvirt-users] "virsh define" modify xml configuration file
by d tbsky 19 Oct '17

19 Oct '17

hi: I upgrade my system from rhel 7.3 to 7.4. so libvirt upgrade to 3.2. I found command "virsh define vm.xml" sometimes modify "vm.xml". I thought the command will read vm.xml, not write to it. is this kind of behavior by design? for example vm.xml with the line <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> will be replaced with <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'> Regards, tbskyd
