[libvirt-users] [virtual interface] detach interface during boot succeed with no changes
by Yalan Zhang 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Hi guys, when I detach an interface from vm during boot (vm boot not finished), it always fail. I'm not sure if there is an existing bug. I have confirmed with someone that for disk, there is similar behavior, if this is also acceptable? # virsh destroy rhel7.2; virsh start rhel7.2 ;sleep 2; virsh detach-interface rhel7.2 network 52:54:00:98:c4:a0; sleep 2; virsh dumpxml rhel7.2 |grep /interface -B9 Domain rhel7.2 destroyed Domain rhel7.2 started Interface detached successfully <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:98:c4:a0'/> <source network='default' bridge='virbr0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='rtl8139'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> When I detach after the vm boot, expand the sleep time to 10, it will succeed. # virsh destroy rhel7.2; virsh start rhel7.2 ;sleep 10; virsh detach-interface rhel7.2 network 52:54:00:98:c4:a0; sleep 2; virsh dumpxml rhel7.2 |grep /interface -B9 Domain rhel7.2 destroyed Domain rhel7.2 started Interface detached successfully ------- Best Regards, Yalan Zhang IRC: yalzhang Internal phone: 8389413

[libvirt-users] Question about disabling UFO on guest
by Bao Nguyen 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Hello everyone, I would like to ask a question regarding to disable UFO of virtio vNIC in my guest. I have read the document at https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html *host* The csum, gso, tso4, tso6, ecn and ufo attributes with possible values on and off can be used to turn off host offloading options. By default, the supported offloads are enabled by QEMU. *Since 1.2.9 (QEMU only)* The mrg_rxbuf attribute can be used to control mergeable rx buffers on the host side. Possible values are on (default) and off. *Since 1.2.13 (QEMU only)* *guest* The csum, tso4, tso6, ecn and ufo attributes with possible values on and off can be used to turn off guest offloading options. By default, the supported offloads are enabl ed by QEMU. *Since 1.2.9 (QEMU only)* Then I disabled UFO on my vNIC on guest as the following configuration <devices> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> <target dev='vnet1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <driver name='vhost' txmode='iothread' ioeventfd='on' event_idx='off' queues='5' rx_queue_size='256' tx_queue_size='256'> *<host gso='off' ufo='off' />* *<guest ufo='off'/>* </driver> </interface> </devices> Then I reboot my node to get the change effect and it works. However, can I disable the UFO without touching the host OS? or it always has to disable on both host and guest like that? Thanks, Brs, Natsu

[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] kvm/libvirt on CentOS7 w/Windows 10 Pro guest
by Benjammin2068 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Hey all, New to list, so I apologize if this has been asked a bunch already... Is there something I'm missing with Windows 10 as a guest that keeps Windows Updates from nuking the boot process? I just did an orderly shutdown and windows updated itself <I forgot to disable in time> only to reboot to the diagnostics screen which couldn't repair. going to command prompt and doing the usual "bootrec /fixmbr, /fixboot and /RebuildBcd" didn't help. This has happened a few times. I can't believe how fragile Win10pro is while running in a VM. (and it's happened on a couple machines I've been experimenting with -- both running same OS, but different hardware.) I just saw the FAQ about the libvirt repo for the virtio drivers for windows.... I need to go read more on it... but in the meantime, is there any other smoking gun I'm not aware of? (after lots of google searching) Thanks, -Ben

[libvirt-users] Using Intel Quick-Sync with GPU capable Intel CPUs
by Benjammin2068 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Rogue S.T asked about checking out graphics cards which brought the question to me... Is it possible to make Intel on-CPU GPU resources to Windows 10? (the box I'm working with has Xeon E5-2640v4 CPUs which should be QuickSync capable) What else do I have to do to take advantage of this? Just load the drivers? Thanks, -Ben

[libvirt-users] [BUG] Not exiting media forced a promptly close of libvirt 3.10
