[libvirt-users] Installing QEMU from source causing error
by Probir Roy 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hi, I am trying to run Qemu-4.0 installed from source code. When I run virt-manager to create a VM, I get the following error: ``` Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2019-07-19T17:06:35.954242Z qemu-system-x86_64: -enable-kvm: unsupported machine type Use -machine help to list supported machines' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 89, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 2553, in _do_async_install guest.start_install(meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 498, in start_install doboot, transient) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 434, in _create_guest domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 3603, in createXML if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2019-07-19T17:06:35.954242Z qemu-system-x86_64: -enable-kvm: unsupported machine type Use -machine help to list supported machines ``` I configured the Qemu with following command: ``` ./../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-spice --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-debug --enable-libssh2 ``` Is it that I missed enabling any configuration while installing Qemu? What is the expected QEMU configuration to run with libvirt? - Probir

[libvirt-users] virsh edit has no impact on domain
by Probir Roy 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hi, I am using "virsh edit" to edit a domain. After edit it says >> Domain ubuntu18.04 XML configuration edited. However, reopening the domain with "virsh edit" shows old file. The domain is also turned off. $virsh list --all --persistent Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- - ubuntu18.04 shut off I have also tried running "virsh define" to set new configuration. $virsh define ubuntu18.04.xml >>> Domain ubuntu18.04 defined from ubuntu18.04.xml However, it also did not change the file. How can I edit the domain config file? OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 virsh: 4.0.0 -- Probir

Hi! If i want to use bridged network or openvswitch, does guestfwd only works with slirp network? Or how it work in case of using bridge/openvswitch? <devices> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/tmp/guestfwd'/> <target type='guestfwd' address='10.0.2.1' port='4600'/> </channel> </devices> If this cant't work with provided network types, how can i create inside guest serial console on 10 tty that binded to listening unix domain socket on host system? -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru

[libvirt-users] Preloading shared library with libVirt

Hi, I am trying to preload two shared libraries while running Qemu using libvirt. To preload the shared libraries I have added an environment variable in the $domain.xml file with the following command: ``` virt-xml generic --edit --confirm --qemu-commandline 'env=LD_PRELOAD=/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/build_kvm/libperform.so:/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/dependencies/libmonitor/installDir/lib/libmonitor.so' ``` However, while running the domain, I get the following message of failure to preload the shared files in the log. ``` 2019-07-17 17:35:22.939+0000: starting up libvirt version: 1.3.1, package: 1ubuntu10.27 (Marc Deslauriers <marc.deslauriers(a)ubuntu.com> Tue, 02 Jul 2019 09:22:37 -0400), qemu version: 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.39), hostname: probir-XPS-13-9343 LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice LD_PRELOAD=/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/build_kvm/libperform.so:/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/dependencies/libmonitor/installDir/lib/libmonitor.so /usr/bin/kvm-spice -name generic -S -machine pc-i440fx-xenial,accel=kvm,usb=off -cpu Broadwell-noTSX-IBRS -m 4096 -realtime mlock=off -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 8f755c9c-adf8-4baf-8d6a-947ebdf61ff8 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-generic/monitor.sock,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -no-hpet -no-shutdown -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -boot strict=on -device ich9-usb-ehci1,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x7 -device ich9-usb-uhci1,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=0,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x6 -device ich9-usb-uhci2,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x1 -device ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/generic.img,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0 -device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -drive if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1,readonly=on -device ide-cd,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1 -netdev tap,fd=26,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:82:62:ba,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing,image-compression=off,seamless-migration=on -device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,vgamem_mb=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir0,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir0,id=redir0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir1,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir1,id=redir1 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -msg timestamp=on Domain id=9 is tainted: custom-argv ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/probir/Downloads/kpv_temp/temp/kvmTest/build_kvm/libperform.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

[libvirt-users] filesharing file owner problem
by Vojto Ľach 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

Hello, I'm having an issue with usage of libvirt driven qemu where I'm sharing directory with guest machine. virsh domain filesharing configuration: <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <driver type='path' wrpolicy='immediate'/> <source dir='/media/share'/> <target dir='data'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf : user = "root" group = "root" dynamic_ownership = 0 clear_emulator_capabilities = 0 even with this unsecure configuration I wasn't able to achieve that newly created files/dirs in guest machine have ownership of guest machine user but they are still created under root user id. Also strange is that group of those files/dirs are correct. Can somebody help me with this? Thank you. Vojtech

It seems like setgroups is failing: https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/blob/v5.5.0/src/util/virutil.c#L1045-L10… Is this the expected behaviour? Marcus. -- Marcus Furlong

[libvirt-users] Question regarding using multiple physical functions inside a network pool.
by Mohamed, Faris 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

Hello, I was planning on adding multiple physical functions using the built in SR-IOV features offered by libvirt to a create a bigger pool of virtual functions using the <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> heading (I want to be able to use more virtual machines then there are virtual functions available on an ethernet port). As soon as I try to define multiple physical functions in a pool, I get this error: error: Failed to define network from biggernetwork.xml error: XML error: Only one <pf> element is allowed in <forward> of network bigger network when using this command: sudo virsh net-define biggernetwork.xml on the following XML document: <network> <name>bigger network</name> <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> <pf dev='eth5'/> <pf dev='eth7'/> </forward> </network> It seems that you are not able to add multiple physical functions to this network to create a pool of more virtual functions. Is there anyway that you can do this using that I am missing? I seem to be looking at the documentation and there seems to be nothing related to this. I think this would be extremely useful and would make automate adding virtual functions to virtual machines much easier to manage.

The error message is produced if the target format is not 'raw' but the above command clearly supplies it. I'd suggest you collect debug logs while trying both and attach them here. Unfortunately I don't see what could be wrong here.

[libvirt-users] UDP broadcasts vs. nat Masquerading issue
by Nikolai Zhubr 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Hi all, I'm observing an issue that as soon as libvirt starts, UPD broadcasts going through physical network (and unrelated to any virtualization) get broken. Specifically, windows neighbourhood browsing through samba's nmbd starts suffering badly (Samba is running on this same box). At the moment I'm running a quite outdated version 1.2.9 of libvirt, but other than this issue, it does its job pretty well, so I'd first consider some patching/backporting rather than totally replacing it with a new one. Anyway, I first need to better understand what is going on and what is wrong with it. This could also be related somewhat to https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg01311.html but I suppose it is not exactly that thing. I've already figured the source of trouble is anyway related to these rules added: -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -j MASQUERADE -A POSTROUTING -o enp0s25 -j MASQUERADE -A POSTROUTING -o virbr2_nic -j MASQUERADE -A POSTROUTING -o vnet0 -j MASQUERADE Here, virbr2_nic and vnet0 are used by libvirt for arranging network configurations for VMs, ok. However, br0 is a main interface of this host with primary ip address, with enp0s25 being a physical nic of this host, and it is used for all sorts of regular (unrelated to virtualization) communications. Also, br0 is used for attaching bridged (as opposed to NATed) VMs managed by libvirt. Clearly, libvirt somehow chooses to set up masquerading for literally all existing network interfaces here (except lo), but I can't see a real reason for the first two rules in the list above. Furthermore, they corrupt UDP broadcats coming from outside and reaching this host (through enp0s25/br0) such that source address gets replaced by this hosts primary address (as per masquerading). I've verified this by arranging a hand-crafted UDP listener and printing the respective source addresses as seen by normal userspace. Now I've discovered that I can "eliminate" the problem by either: 1. Removing "-A POSTROUTING -o br0 -j MASQUERADE" (manually) 2. Inserting "-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 192.168.0.255/32 -j ACCEPT" (Of course correcting rules by hand is not a solution, just a test) So question is, how the correct rules should ideally look like? And, is this issue known/fixed in most current libvirt? Thank you, Regards, Nikolai
