[libvirt-users] bridge / ubuntu / no arp reply
by François Chenais 15 Oct '26

15 Oct '26

Hello I'm trying to setup a bridged guest on an ubuntu 13.10 but it doesn't work. (Everything is ok with NAT) Network sniffing shows that arp replies don't come back to the guest. Test 1 ------ Guest : ping host_bridge_ip (ok) Test 2 ------ Guest: ping other_lan_host (KO) other_lan_host - receives arp who-is request - sends arp reply - arp -a shows the guest macaddr => Guest doesn't receive reply Test 3 ------ other_lan_host ping the Guest (KO) - arp -a shows "incomplete" addr - Guest receives nothing On Host ------- network tcpdump on bridge or vnet interfaces shows request but no reply ... Thanks in advance for help or ideas François

[libvirt-users] [virtual interface] detach interface during boot succeed with no changes
by Yalan Zhang 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

about the script /etc/qemu-ifup with nmcli command
by Yalan Zhang 05 Jan '21

05 Jan '21

Hi, I have tried the qemu-ifup script as below with nmcli command as brctl is deprecated on rhel8, but the guest network can not work. I think the script needs update. Could you please help to have a look? Thank you in advance. 1. prepare a linux bridge on the host named br0; 2. prepare the qemu-ifup script as below: # cat /etc/qemu-ifup #!/bin/bash # A br0 bridge should be already set up. # Compare with: # http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Networking#qemu-ifup # # For the bridge setup, see: # http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Fedora.2FRHEL_Bridging # http://gist.github.com/393525 ip link set "$1" up nmcli c add type bridge-slave ifname $1 con-name $1 master br0 autoconnect yes 3. start vm with below interface setting: # virsh dumpxml rh | grep /interface -B5 <interface type='ethernet'> <mac address='52:54:00:79:ba:dd'/> <script path='/etc/qemu-ifup'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> # virsh start rh Domain rh started 4.check on guest, the interface can not get dhcp ip address; 5. check on host, # nmcli con NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE br0 f68f73c7-10ee-40c1-bb09-3366d11ac896 bridge br0 ... vnet0 90a48d77-dccc-4b59-98f5-09f8cbd62458 ethernet -- # nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION br0 bridge connected br0 ... vnet0 tun unmanaged -- 6. hotplug a bridge type interface and compare the tap devices: # virsh attach-interface rh bridge br0 --model virtio Interface attached successfully # nmcli con NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE br0 f68f73c7-10ee-40c1-bb09-3366d11ac896 bridge br0 vnet1 07c2a1f8-396f-4d5f-b61f-ef2ddb42ed93 tun vnet1 --->the hot-plugged one ... vnet0 90a48d77-dccc-4b59-98f5-09f8cbd62458 ethernet -- ----> the ethernet one # nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION vnet1 tun connected (externally) vnet1 --->the hot-plugged one vnet0 tun unmanaged -- ----> the ethernet one ... 7. from the outputs above, the back-end tun device for ethernet type interface is unmanaged.

Unexplicable permission error when trying to read a qemu firmware file
by Emmanuel Kasper 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Hi I want to create a CoreOS VM following the steps mentioned at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/getting-started, using a Debian 11 (bullseye) system. I am thus creating a VM with the following virt-install command: virt-install --connect="qemu:///system" --name=coreos \ --vcpus=2 --memory=2048 \ --os-variant=fedora29 --import --graphics=none \ --disk="size=10,backing_store=$PWD/fedora-coreos-33.20201201.3.0-qemu.x86_64.qcow2" \ --qemu-commandline="-fw_cfg name=opt/com.coreos/config,file=/tmp/example.ign" which spits some warnings and this mysterious error 2020-12-29T16:52:03.858938Z qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: MSR(48FH).vmx-exit-load-perf-global-ctrl [bit 12] 2020-12-29T16:52:03.858941Z qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: MSR(490H).vmx-entry-load-perf-global-ctrl [bit 13] 2020-12-29T16:52:03.864778Z qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=opt/com.coreos/config,file=/tmp/example.ign: can't load /tmp/example.ign: Failed to open file “/tmp/example.ign”: Permission denied the file /tmp/example.ign is perfectly world readable, -rw-rw-rw- 1 manu manu 1130 Dec 29 17:23 /tmp/example.ign so I am puzzled at what could cause this permission error. on a RHEL8 system, I had the same error, and was able to fix by setting a security context on the firmware file: sudo semanage fcontext --add --type virt_content_t /tmp/example.ign restorecon /tmp/example.ign now this Debian system does not selinux installed at all. ls -dZ / ? / I could also read the qemu firmware file when using the qemu:///session connection any pointers where to look for ?

Isolated bridge does not bridge
by Paul van der Vlis 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Hello, I want to do some testing and I have removed two VM's from the bridge what connects them to internet, and added them to another isolated bridge what's not connected to internet. Problem is that I cannot reach the other host in the isolated network. Something like this: virsh shutdown kvm66 virsh shutdown kvm68 brctl delif br0 vnet10 vnet6 # the interfaces of kvm66 and kvm68 brctl addbr br1 brctl addif br1 vnet10 vnet6 Then I've replaced br0 to br1 in the XML of both VM's with "virsh edit". Then I did start the VM's using the serial console (no network): virsh start --console kvm66 virsh start --console kvm68 I cannot ping from one machine to the other. Why??

How to open listener of Libvirt ?
by tommy 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Hi,every one: My Ubuntu is : 20.04 LTS, and I using libvirtd on it to manage KVM vm, but now I can not open listener function of the libvirtd. SYSTEM SOCKET ACTIVATION The libvirtd daemon is capable of starting in two modes. In the traditional mode, it will create and listen on UNIX sockets itself. If the --listen parameter is given, it will also listen on TCP/IP socket(s), according to the listen_tcp and listen_tls options in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf In socket activation mode, it will rely on systemd to create and listen on the UNIX, and optionally TCP/IP, sockets and pass them as pre-opened file de� scriptors. In this mode, it is not permitted to pass the --listen parameter, and most of the socket related config options in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf will no longer have any effect. To enable TCP or TLS sockets use either $ systemctl start libvirtd-tls.socket Or $ systemctl start libvirtd-tcp.socket But, on my system, there are no such service like libvirtd-tls.socket or libvirtd-tcp.socket. root@ubts1:~# systemctl | grep libvirt libvirt-guests.service loaded active exited Suspend/Resume Running libvirt Guests libvirtd.service loaded active running Virtualization daemon libvirtd-admin.socket loaded active running Libvirt admin socket libvirtd-ro.socket loaded active running Libvirt local read-only socket libvirtd.socket loaded active running Libvirt local socket How can I open the listener ? Thanks！
