[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] virsh confirmed edits do not persist
by Josh Mcneil 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

This may be user error, I am new to libvirt. I am using libvirt 5.0.0. I have created a VM (win10) in the system URI using virt-manager. I stopped the VM to edit it. I set my LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" and am able to read the domain configuration with `EDITOR=nano virsh edit win10`. When I save (ctrl+o) and exit (ctrl+x) I see the message "Domain win10 XML configuration edited." as expected. However, when I run the edit command again the changes do not appear to have persisted. I have tried starting and stopping the VM. I read that I may need to define the domain with virsh so I did that. None of these things seem to work. I would appreciate it if someone could help me solve this issue in order to be able to modify domains from virsh! Thanks in advance for any help! Josh

[libvirt-users] virsh migrate --copy-storage-inc
by Paul van der Vlis 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hello, I use libvirt on machines without shared storage. My VM's have all one qcow2-disk, with the same name as the VM. When I want to migrate a VM, I check if there is an qcow2 image on the other host with that name. When that's not the case, I copy the image using rsync first. If the image excist, I don't do that, and I think that "--copy-storage-inc" will do it. But I don't know how intelligent "--copy-storage-inc" is. I use LVM inside the VM's, and it's possible that I have changed the size of a volume for example. My questions: Is "--copy-storage-inc" intelligent enough for such tasks? Is there documentation what is done during migration? Is it using rsync? Is it possible to make the migration process more verbose? Is what I do a good way? With regards, Paul van der Vlis BTW: this is what I do, sometimes the lines are broken wrong: ----------- # Rsync image when not on the other host: if test `ssh $other "if test -e /data/$vm.qcow2; then echo ja; else echo nee; fi"` = "nee"; then echo "rsync..." rsync /data/$vm.qcow2 $other://data/$vm.qcow2 if test $? = 0; then echo "gelukt"; else echo "niet gelukt"; exit; fi fi # migrate echo "migrate..." virsh migrate --live --p2p --tunnelled --copy-storage-inc --persistent --undefinesource --verbose $vm qemu+ssh://$other/system if test $? = 0; then echo "gelukt"; else echo "niet gelukt"; exit; fi ----------- -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer Groningen https://www.vandervlis.nl/

[libvirt-users] concurrent migration of several domains rarely fails
by Lentes, Bernd 06 Feb '19

06 Feb '19

Hi, i have a two-node cluster with several domains as resources. During testing i tried several times to migrate some domains concurrently. Usually it suceeded, but rarely it failed. I found one clue in the log: Dec 03 16:03:02 ha-idg-1 libvirtd[3252]: 2018-12-03 15:03:02.758+0000: 3252: error : virKeepAliveTimerInternal:143 : internal error: connection closed due to keepalive timeout The domains are configured similar: primitive vm_geneious VirtualDomain \ params config="/mnt/san/share/config.xml" \ params hypervisor="qemu:///system" \ params migration_transport=ssh \ op start interval=0 timeout=120 trace_ra=1 \ op stop interval=0 timeout=130 trace_ra=1 \ op monitor interval=30 timeout=25 trace_ra=1 \ op migrate_from interval=0 timeout=300 trace_ra=1 \ op migrate_to interval=0 timeout=300 trace_ra=1 \ meta allow-migrate=true target-role=Started is-managed=true \ utilization cpu=2 hv_memory=8000 What is the algorithm to discover the port used for live migration ? I have the impression that "params migration_transport=ssh" is worthless, port 22 isn't involved for live migration. My experience is that for the migration tcp ports > 49151 are used. But the exact procedure isn't clear for me. Does live migration uses first tcp port 49152 and for each following domain one port higher ? E.g. for the concurrent live migration of three domains 49152, 49153 and 49154. Why does live migration for three domains usually succeed, although on both hosts just 49152 and 49153 is open ? Is the migration not really concurrent, but sometimes sequential ?
