[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] Create qcow2 v3 volumes via libvirt
by Gionatan Danti 24 May '18

24 May '18

Hi all, on a fully patched CentOS 7.4 x86-64, I see the following behavior: - when creating a new volumes using vol-create-as, the resulting file is a qcow2 version 2 (compat=0.10) file. Example: [root@gdanti-lenovo vmimages]# virsh vol-create-as default zzz.qcow2 8589934592 --format=qcow2 --backing-vol /mnt/vmimages/centos6.img Vol zzz.qcow2 created [root@gdanti-lenovo vmimages]# file zzz.qcow2 zzz.qcow2: QEMU QCOW Image (v2), has backing file (path /mnt/vmimages/centos6.img), 8589934592 bytes [root@gdanti-lenovo vmimages]# qemu-img info zzz.qcow2 image: zzz.qcow2 file format: qcow2 virtual size: 8.0G (8589934592 bytes) disk size: 196K cluster_size: 65536 backing file: /mnt/vmimages/centos6.img backing file format: raw Format specific information: compat: 0.10 refcount bits: 16 - when creating a snapshot, the resulting file is a qcow2 version 3 (comapt=1.1) file. Example: [root@gdanti-lenovo vmimages]# virsh snapshot-create-as centos6left --disk-only --no-metadata snap.qcow2 Domain snapshot snap.qcow2 created [root@gdanti-lenovo vmimages]# file centos6left.snap.qcow2 centos6left.snap.qcow2: QEMU QCOW Image (v3), has backing file (path /mnt/vmimages/centos6left.qcow2), 8589934592 bytes [root@gdanti-lenovo vmimages]# qemu-img info centos6left.snap.qcow2 image: centos6left.snap.qcow2 file format: qcow2 virtual size: 8.0G (8589934592 bytes) disk size: 196K cluster_size: 65536 backing file: /mnt/vmimages/centos6left.qcow2 backing file format: qcow2 Format specific information: compat: 1.1 lazy refcounts: false refcount bits: 16 corrupt: false From what I know, this is a deliberate decision: compat=1.1 requires relatively recent qemu version, and creating a new volume play on the "safe side" of compatibility. It is possible to create a new volume using qcow2 version 3 (compat=1.1) format *using libvirt/virsh* (I know I can do that via qemu-img)? Any drawback on using version 3 format?

[libvirt-users] Possible to edit/apply nwfilter at runtime?
by Andre Goree 02 Apr '18

02 Apr '18

I'm trying to determine if it's possible to edit/attach/apply nwfilter rules at runtime? I.e., after a VM is already running, can I apply a nwfilter to the VM and have it work without rebooting the machine? Thus far, I've not come across a way to do so, but I thought I'd ask here before I chase my tail around Google. Thanks! -- Andre Goree -=-=-=-=-=- Email - andre at drenet.net Website - http://blog.drenet.net PGP key - http://www.drenet.net/pubkey.html -=-=-=-=-=-

[libvirt-users] snapshot of a raw file - how to revert ?

Hi, i have the following system: pc59093:~ # cat /etc/os-release NAME="SLES" VERSION="11.4" VERSION_ID="11.4" PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4" ID="sles" ANSI_COLOR="0;32" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:suse:sles:11:4" pc59093:~ # uname -a Linux pc59093 3.0.101-84-default #1 SMP Tue Oct 18 10:32:51 UTC 2016 (15251d6) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux pc59093:~ # rpm -qa|grep -iE 'libvirt|kvm' libvirt-cim-0.5.12-0.7.16 libvirt-python-1.2.5-1.102 libvirt-client-1.2.5-15.3 kvm-1.4.2-47.1 sles-kvm_en-pdf-11.4-0.33.1 libvirt-1.2.5-15.3 I have several guests running with raw files, which is sufficent for me. Now i'd like to snapshot one guest because i make heavy configuration changes on it. >From what i read in the net is that libvirt supports snapshoting of raw files when the guest is shutdown and the file of the snapshot becomes a qcow2. Right ? I try to avoid converting my raw file to a qcow2 file. I can shutdown the guest for a certain time, that's no problem. I don't need a live snapshot. But how can i revert to my previous state if my configuration changes go wrong ? Can i do this with snapshot-revert or do i have to edit the xml file and point the hd again to the origin raw file ? What i found in the net wasn't complete clear. Thanks.

[libvirt-users] How can we achieve vga emulation over a serial port in libvirt
by Meina Li 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hi For the latest seabios version, it said: Support for vga emulation over a serial port in SeaBIOS (sercon). So I want to know how can I find the application of this feature in libvirt? And whether my understanding is correct? There are no related instruction on the website: https://libvirt.org/ My understanding: (1) The feature means: we can set this the IO address of a serial port to "video" element to enable SeaBIOS' VGA adapter emulation on the given serial port. (2) Libvirt XML examples and with this xml the guest can start successfully: <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </controller> <video> <model type='vga' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='3'/> </video> Thank in advance. Best Regards Meina Li

[libvirt-users] Libvirt supported qemu-ga commands
by procmem 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Where can I find the full list of libvirt supported qemu-ga commands? The docs [0] imply virDomainQemuAgentCommand bypasses libvirt and is not recommended. I am looking to pass suspend/resume events from the host to the guest and then have the guest act on this internally. Your help is appreciated. [0] https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Qemu_guest_agent
