[libvirt-users] About .img file while creating vm
by amey pandit 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Hi, I am trying to create vm using virsh create x.xml. But I am confused as what is the .img file that is required. Here is the Disk tag from my xml. <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> * <source file='/xxx/xx_vm.img'/> * <target dev='hda'/> </disk> Is it .ova file that is converted to .img ? If anybody have links or some guide related to the topic that would be really helpful. Thank you, Amey

Hi My libvirt version is 3.4.0,host system is centos 7.4 ,kernel is 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 , when I shutdown domain in virtual system, My program call virDomainMemoryStats, My program blocked in this api. the call stack is #0 0x00007ff242d78a3d in poll () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ff243755ce8 in virNetClientIOEventLoop () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0 #2 0x00007ff24375654b in virNetClientSendInternal () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0#3 0x00007ff2437579b3 in virNetClientSendWithReply () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0 #4 0x00007ff2437581c2 in virNetClientProgramCall () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0#5 0x00007ff24372d392 in callFull.isra.3 () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0 #6 0x00007ff24373b8a1 in remoteDomainMemoryStats () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0 #7 0x00007ff2436f14e2 in virDomainMemoryStats () from /lib64/libvirt.so.0 #8 0x00007ff22ee975c2 in VM::getMemoryStats (this=0x7ff1d4064ae0, Begin I think is my program problem, But when I use virsh domstats cmd , The cmd block too. In my program, I set timeout event for virConnectPtr. But my program blocked all the time. I find my system log, I find some libvirtd error: libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:25:13.144+0000: 1289: error : virKeepAliveTimerInternal:143 : internal error: connection closed due to keepalive timeout Mar 7 23:33:05 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:05.738+0000: 1289: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1808 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error Mar 7 23:33:14 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:14.253+0000: 1289: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1808 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error Mar 7 23:33:16 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:16.962+0000: 1289: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1808 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error Mar 7 23:33:25 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:25.879+0000: 1300: warning : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:3847 : Cannot start job (query, none) for domain d7bb3005-4fa4-4c3a-8802-ab55464d074b; current job is (query, none) owned by (1299 remoteDispatchDomainMemoryStats, 0 <null>) for (3680s, 0s) Mar 7 23:33:25 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:25.879+0000: 1300: error : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:3859 : Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock (held by remoteDispatchDomainMemoryStats) Mar 7 23:33:25 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:25.879+0000: 1300: warning : qemuGetProcessInfo:1428 : cannot parse process status data Mar 7 23:33:25 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:25.880+0000: 1300: error : virNetDevTapInterfaceStats:751 : internal error: /proc/net/dev: Interface not found Mar 7 23:33:41 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:41.826+0000: 1298: warning : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:3847 : Cannot start job (query, none) for domain d7bb3005-4fa4-4c3a-8802-ab55464d074b; current job is (query, none) owned by (1299 remoteDispatchDomainMemoryStats, 0 <null>) for (3696s, 0s)Mar 7 23:33:41 localhost libvirtd: 2018-03-08 04:33:41.826+0000: 1298: error : qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal:3859 : Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock (held by remoteDispatchDomainMemoryStats) Is this problem a bug or I can't statistics some specifi status domain?

[libvirt-users] Lib virt v4.x packages for Xenial
by Stephen Bates 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hi Libvirt Users! Apologies in advance as I am sure this has been asked before (but I could not find it in the archives). Has anyone had any success creating .deb packages for Xenial for libvirt and libvirt-bin for v4.0 or v4.1? A quick scan of the PPA respository does not show anything this recent. Is there a fundamental issue that prevents these package files being created? If so has anyone got a primer for how best to install a recent version of libvirt and associated tools on Xenial? We have a bare-metal server we have to keep on LTS but I need to be able to run recent versions of QEMU to get access to certain NVMe model features that were only recently added... Cheers Stephen

Anybody meet this error? Best Regards, Star Guo

[libvirt-users] Can't shutdown/reboot Windows 10 guest if on lock screen
by Sebastian Arcus 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

I am running Windows 10 vms on a Linux host with libvirt 4.0.0 and qemu 2.10.2 I can shutdown and reboot the Windows 10 guests if the no user is logged in the vm, or if the user is logged in and active/seeing the desktop. But after a while, when the lock screen kicks in (but the user is still logged in technically), the shutdown and reboot commands don't have any effect any more. Is there any way around this (except for disabling automatic screen locking on Windows)? Thank you for any hints.

[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.

[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
