Re: [libvirt-users] Xen died - Fedora upgrade from 21 to 26
by Dominik Psenner
Note that this does not help with the original problem but points out a
critical design flaw.
To me your it infrastructure design has no working disaster recovery plan.
You should always be able to access critical functionality and from there
be able to restore complete functionality step by step. In your case the
outermost functionality is the vm host. You should always be able to log
into that machine once it has all cables plugged in, regardless of what
runs on it (or not).
This means that even though you might get this to work you should rethink
your design so that you do not have to rely on the vm that does the
networking.

Jim,
Thanks for that, I had manually installed libvirt-daemon-driver-xen,
but also needed to install libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl. I can now create
VMs and convert config formats.
However the daemon still fails to start on bootup. It starts fine when I
manually start it with "systemctl start libvirtd" but setting it to
autostart with "systemctl enable libvirtd" seems to have no effect. When I
look at the status, it tells me that the service is "enabled" which means
that it starts on bootup (well, that's what it means for any other service).
This is rather critical on this PC, as it has unattended restarts and the
VPN/routing is done in one of the VMs (i.e. I can't get to it unless it
auto-starts at least one VM).
Unfortunatley there is nothing appearing in the libvirtd log over a reboot
to help diagnose.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

[libvirt-users] Why cannot block copy local storage to network disk
by wyang
Hi, guys
I was executing the following command to lively migrate local storage to
network storage,
[root@192-168-152-51 ~]# virsh blockcopy
a75056a4-44e0-4b97-bc77-78142ee17038 vda —xml rbd.xml —wait —verbose
—pivot
error: argument unsupported: non-file destination not supported yet
but I get the following error:
error: argument unsupported: non-file destination not supported yet
I check my libvirt source code, and find the following code sniff in
/qemuDomainBlockCopyCommon/ function
|if (!virStorageSourceIsLocalStorage(mirror)) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED, "%s", _("non-file
destination not supported yet")); } |
it was introduced by Eric.
commit e53ee6c123321a1775ef3b36e15a5fa351d10fe4
Author: Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com <http://mailto:eblake@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Aug 29 16:30:46 2014 -0600
blockcopy: tweak how rebase calls into copy
So my question is that why we cannot block copy to network storage?
Thanks

[libvirt-users] About seclabel configure,Migrate error
by 露露
libvirt
version: 3.4.0
architecture: x86_64 ubuntu16.04-server
hypervisor: kvm,qemu
When migrate vm, I encounter error:
"Migrate VM virt21 failed unsupported configuration: Unable to find security driver for model apparmor"
but two host are same environment.before this error, migrate can be success.
the source host seclabel configure is this :
<seclabel type='dynamic' model='apparmor' relabel='yes'>
<label>libvirt-8e4ec209-17ca-4b59-abb7-72f3984244f3</label>
<imagelabel>libvirt-8e4ec209-17ca-4b59-abb7-72f3984244f3</imagelabel>
</seclabel>
I create a vm on the destination host ,the vm configure not seclabel congfigure.
I reinstall libvirt on the destination host and migrate same vm, this error disappear.vm seclabel configure is default.
I recreate a vm on the destination host ,the vm configure has the seclabel configure , I don't known the reason.
Another question:
I configure a vm xml's seclabel like this:
<seclabel type='none' model='none'/>
and then call virDomainCreate create the vm, call virsh dumpxml, the vm xml's seclabel is this:
<seclabel type='none' model='none'/>
<seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'>
<label>+0:+0</label>
<imagelabel>+0:+0</imagelabel>
</seclabel>
I don't the reason.
Is a vm seclabel configure dynamic change when it running?

[libvirt-users] cannot set maxMemory
by 임영빈
Hi all,
I'm testing the memory hotplugging on devstack (ocata version).
According to the article in
https://medium.com/@juergen_thomann/memory-hotplug-with-qemu-kvm-and-libv...
,
I'm trying to create a virtual machine by setting <maxMemory>.
However, I've got an error message in libvirt log as below.
2017-07-20 20:33:21.175+0000: 529: error :

driver
virt-aa-helper: error: could not parse XML
virt-aa-helper: error: could not get VM definition
I'm using qemu hypervisor (2.8), and libvirt (2.5.0).
As I know, these qemu, libvirt versions support hotplugging memory.
Below is the xml file I used to create a virtual machine by using 'virsh
create test.xml' command.
