Hi, i'm cuurently a bit confused if a guest does have a valid snapshot or not. This is the xml: ... <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/crispor_1604/crispor_1604.sn'/> <backingStore type='file' index='1'> <format type='raw'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/crispor_1604/crispor_1604.img'/> <backingStore/> </backingStore> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> ... both files are currently in access by the respective qemu process. lsof: qemu-kvm 19533 root 13u REG 253,0 29761732608 12091393 /var/lib/libvirt/images/crispor_1604/crispor_1604.sn qemu-kvm 19533 root 14r REG 253,0 111561775513 44793857 /var/lib/libvirt/images/crispor_1604/crispor_1604.img Here are both files: pc60181:/var/lib/libvirt/images/crispor_1604 # ll ... -rw------- 1 root root 111561775513 Oct 22 15:23 crispor_1604.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29761732608 Feb 7 15:13 crispor_1604.sn crispor_1604.sn has a recent timestamp. The snapshot is currently in use: virsh # domblklist crispor_1604 Target Source ------------------------------------------------ vda /var/lib/libvirt/images/crispor_1604/crispor_1604.sn But virsh does not show any snapshot: virsh # snapshot-list crispor_1604 Name Creation Time State ------------------------------------------------------------ So i'm a bit confused. Does it have a valid snapshot or not. How can i find out and how can i get rid of it ? Thanks.

No DHCP on default network when guest has multiple interfaces
by Patrick O'Neill 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hello, I am trying to boot a VM in libvirt that has 2 interfaces. The first interface is connected to the default network and the second connects to a bridge interface on the host. When the VM boots the first interface doesn't receive an IP address from DHCP. It works when the VM only has one interface though. If I login to the VM using virsh console I noticed that in NetworkManager the connection name and device are mixed [root@localhost ~]# nmcli con show NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE eth0 cc31f368-0a43-4c85-bd15-6aaa3ca23b3d ethernet eth1 If I run 'dhclient eth0' the interface gets an IP address from the default network as expected. [root@localhost ~]# dhclient eth0 [root@localhost ~]# ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.10/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global dynamic eth0 valid_lft 3599sec preferred_lft 3599sec 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:48:e3:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe48:e3b8/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever The VM is created using the following command virt-install --import --name ${VM_HOST_NAME} \ --memory 2048 --vcpus 2 --cpu host \ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/${VM_HOST_NAME}.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio \ --network network=default \ --network bridge=bridge0,model=virtio \ --os-type=linux \ --os-variant=rhel7.6 \ --graphics none Any ideas what could cause this problem? The guest OS is CentOS 7.7 and the host is CentOS 8, but I have the same problem with a CentOS 7 hypervisor.

Does Libvirt's json parser support single quoted string in qmp json string?
by Peter Luo 05 Feb '20

05 Feb '20

Hi All, I’m using qmp command via “virsh qemu-monitor-command” to perform block related jobs. And in my case, I execute block-commit to commit the changes in the top image to the base image which is encrypted. So in the base parameter, I need a json string which is single quoted to support the encryption parameters. However, the virsh is failed to parse the whole json qmp command. Attempt 1: Single quote without backflash, failed root@host:~# virsh qemu-monitor-command i-9wdfw2x8 "{\"execute\": \"block-commit\", \"arguments\": { \"device\": \"drive-virtio-disk2\", \"job-id\": \"job100\", \"base\":'json:{\"encrypt.key-secret\":\"vol-38973xjl.secret\",\"driver\":\"qcow2\",\"file\":{\"driver\":\"file\",\"filename\":\"/pitrix/data/container/vol-38973xjl.img\"}}', \"top\": \"/pitrix/data/container/vol-38973xjl_ss-2tw7v0mm.img\"}}" error: internal error: cannot parse json {"execute": "block-commit", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk2", "job-id": "job100", "base":'json:{"encrypt.key-secret":"vol-38973xjl.secret","driver":"qcow2","file":{"driver":"file","filename":"/pitrix/data/container/vol-38973xjl.img"}}', "top": "/pitrix/data/container/vol-38973xjl_ss-2tw7v0mm.img"}}: lexical error: invalid char in json text. , "job-id": "job100", "base":'json:{"encrypt.key-secret":"vo (right here) ------^ Attempt 2: Single quote with backflash, failed root@host:~# virsh qemu-monitor-command i-9wdfw2x8 "{\"execute\": \"block-commit\", \"arguments\": { \"device\": \"drive-virtio-disk2\", \"job-id\": \"job100\", \"base\":\'json:{\"encrypt.key-secret\":\"vol-38973xjl.secret\",\"driver\":\"qcow2\",\"file\":{\"driver\":\"file\",\"filename\":\"/pitrix/data/container/vol-38973xjl.img\"}}\', \"top\": \"/pitrix/data/container/vol-38973xjl_ss-2tw7v0mm.img\"}}" error: internal error: cannot parse json {"execute": "block-commit", "arguments": { "device": "drive-virtio-disk2", "job-id": "job100", "base":\'json:{"encrypt.key-secret":"vol-38973xjl.secret","driver":"qcow2","file":{"driver":"file","filename":"/pitrix/data/container/vol-38973xjl.img"}}\', "top": "/pitrix/data/container/vol-38973xjl_ss-2tw7v0mm.img"}}: lexical error: invalid char in json text. , "job-id": "job100", "base":\'json:{"encrypt.key-secret":"v (right here) ------^ My libvirt version is 5.7.0, libyajl is 2.1.0.

USB devices with same vendor:product id
by Maxime Accadia 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

Hi, We have a VM with several USB devices attached. Everything works well, but sometimes, after a reboot of the host, some usb device get a different bus/device number and that prevent the reboot of the VM : ------- error: Failed to start domain xxx error: internal error: Did not find USB device 04b9:0300 bus:1 device:5 ------- I guess this is because we have multiple usb devices with the same vendor/product ID : ------- <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x04b9'/> <product id='0x0300'/> <address bus='2' device='4'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev0'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='2'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x0529'/> <product id='0x0001'/> <address bus='1' device='7'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev1'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1.2'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x0529'/> <product id='0x0001'/> <address bus='2' device='3'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev2'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1.4'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x04b9'/> <product id='0x0300'/> <address bus='1' device='6'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev3'/> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1.1'/> </hostdev> ------- Any idea on how to handle this case ? We were thinking about using udev, but it seems that libvirt only supports vendor/id (not unique in our case) and bus/device (not predictable) to identify usb devices. Thanks, Maxime Accadia P.S. We use libvirt 4.0.0 on Ubuntu 18.04
