[libvirt-users] Qemu guest display black after reboot
by Allence 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hey, every friend. I have a question. My guests are not working, unbelievable. I can use it the first time I use it. But after I close my guest and start over, my guests will not appear. My screen is black. My environment: Guest: windows 10 vm-bios: ovmf host: ubuntu 1604 qemu: 2.12 libvirt: 4.2 kernel: 4.17.2 xml config: gpu: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=0000:01:00.0,romfile=/root/rom.file,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/> </qemu:commandline> features: <kvm> <hidden state='on'/> </kvm>

[libvirt-users] Trouble passing PCI device in isolated IOMMU group
by Quincy Wofford 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

I'm attempting PCI-passthrough from host to guest on an HP ProLiant 380P, which has an outdated BIOS (2014), but it does support VT-d. I'm running CentOS 7, kernel 3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64. I have an Intel 82580 NIC installed with 4 ports. Each of these ports is in its own IOMMU group (I enabled SR-IOV at the BIOS, which might be the reason they show up separately) After detaching and adding a 'hostdev' device with the appropriate pci address, I attempt to start my VM. I get " failed to set iommu for container: Operation not permitted". As recommended here ( http://vfio.blogspot.com/2014/08/vfiovga-faq.html) I parsed dmesg in an attempt to find: ------------------- No interrupt remapping support. Use the module param "allow_unsafe_interrupts" to enable VFIO IOMMU support on this platform ------------------- ...but nothing similar exists in my logs. Since this device is showing up in its own IOMMU group, I assume ACS override won't get me any further. In any case, it is not an option for me to leave ACS override on. I can turn it on for testing, the server is not currently in production. Any idea why this could be failing?

[libvirt-users] How to set the MTU size of VM interface
by netsurfed 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Dear all: I start a VM with MTU size 1450, and login VM to check the mtu size, but this setting didn't work. The VM xml is like this: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:54:14:f8'/> <source bridge='ovsbr1'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'> <parameters interfaceid='a42e5b42-09db-4cfa-b198-d2ce62843378'/> </virtualport> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <mtu size='1450'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> However, the actual mtu size of VM is still 1500, as following: root@ubuntu-zhf:~# ip addr 2: ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:54:14:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff The MTU size of both ovs bridge and vnet are 1450 in my hypervisor: root@ubuntu-191:~# ip addr show ovsbr1 16: ovsbr1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1 link/ether 12:01:7b:5b:85:49 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::1001:7bff:fe5b:8549/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever root@ubuntu-191:~# ip addr show vnet0 22: vnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc pfifo_fast master ovs-system state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether fe:54:00:54:14:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::fc54:ff:fe54:14f8/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever I use ovs to create vxlan networks and add VMs to the ovs bridge. Because of the limitations of vxlan, I need to set the mtu of vm to 1450. How to set the MTU of VM? Thanks.

[libvirt-users] Adding a VLAN tag to a libvirt SR-IOV VF network using the "virsh net-update" command
by Yegappan Lakshmanan 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi all, How do you add a VLAN tag to a libvirt SR-IOV VF network usingthe "virsh net-update" command? I couldn't find the section to passto the "virsh net-update" command to add the VLAN tag. I have the following libvirt network defined for a SR-IOV VF: <network> <name>GE0-0-SRIOV-1</name> <uuid>7bc67166-c78e-4bcf-89ee-377dd9086631</uuid> <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x10' function='0x0'/> </forward></network> I am trying to add VLAN 100 to this network. If I use the following command toadd a VLAN tag to this network: virsh net-update GE0-0-SRIOV-1 modify bridge --xml "<vlan trunk='no'><tag id='100'/></vlan>" It fails as the section "bridge" doesn't support adding a VLAN tag. I have triedother section values like domain and all of them fail. I am able to add the VLAN to the portgroup section, but then the VLAN configurationis not propagated to the underlying physical PF interface. If I manually add the VLAN configuration using the "virsh net-edit" command andthen connect a VM to this network, then the VLAN information is correctly propagatedto the underlying physical NIC device. I need a way to automate this configuration. Any pointers? Thanks,Yegappan

[libvirt-users] ecryptfs (from centosplus) and libvirt lxc quest on it - quest upon start shoots host in the head
by lejeczek 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

hi guys I have a lxc guest on Dell's R815(AMD Opterons) which I just moved to an ecryptfs mounted folder(using centosplus' kernel C7.5) Copying data to that folder seems to work just fine, but I as soon as I start the quest, the host gets shot in the head almost immediately, hard reboot, no dump. I also have another, virtually identical guest but on Intel platform and that one does not do anything but runs okey. Any of you guys has experience such gross abnormality? (maybe a heads-up to redhat if cryptfs was to be ever added) many thanks, L.
