[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

Need more doc for libvirt-console-proxy
by Guy Godfroy 05 Oct '21

05 Oct '21

Hello, I'm making a web app for my company that will enable different teams to manage their own VMs. I wish to make possible to interact with each VM console, so I plan to use some xterm.js with websockets. So I discovered libvirt-console-proxy [1] when I looked for something to put a libvirt console into a websocket. That seems like the right tool for the job. The only doc I found is this article from 2017 [2]. After trying to understand from this article and from --help, I still have many questions. I am really bad at reading code so I can't even get answers from the sources. My main concern is: How a client is supposed to talk to the proxy? It is said that a security token must be provided. How? HTTP header? Which header? Am I missing something in websocket protocol? I think an example client implementation would help a lot. Also, I tried to use virtconsoleresolveradm to set up metadata on my domains like explained in the article [1] : ./virtconsoleresolveradm enable milou Enabled access to domain 'milou' But that doesn't seem to do anything (except defining the metadata namespace in the XML): virsh metadata milou http://libvirt.org/schemas/console-proxy/1.0 <consoles/> I precise that I have already this in my XML: <serial type='pty'> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'> <model name='isa-serial'/> </target> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> Should I remove that? Should I edit that? Thanks for your help. Guy Godfroy [1] https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-console-proxy [2] https://www.berrange.com/posts/2017/01/26/announce-new-libvirt-console-prox…

issues with vm after upgrade
by daggs 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

Greetings, a few weeks ago I've upgraded my system, this resulted with qemu and libvirt being upgraded to 6.0.0 and ~7.5.0 respectfully. I have two vms running on my system, router and streamer. the router vm works great, the streamer vm doesn't. after the streamer vm start, the monitor screen gets black and thats it. no relevant error are found in the log, see: http://dpaste.com/ERWDEJQPC the xml ca be found at https://dpaste.com/FQDN6NTN2 in contrast the following oneliner works: qemu-system-x86_64 \ -machine pc-q35-5.0,accel=kvm,usb=off,smm=on,dump-guest-core=off \ -cpu host,migratable=on \ -m 15360 \ -smp 4,sockets=1,dies=1,cores=2,threads=2 \ -drive file=/home/streamer/streamer.img.qcow2.new,if=virtio,format=qcow2 \ -device vfio-pci,host=0000:00:02.0,romfile=/home/streamer/gpu-8086:5912-uefi.rom,multifunction=on \ -device vfio-pci,host=0000:00:1f.3,multifunction=on \ -usb \ -device usb-host,vendorid=0x046d,productid=0xc52e \ -device usb-host,vendorid=0x2548,productid=0x1002 \ -display none \ -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,ifname=virtsw-streamer,script=no,downscript=no \ -device e1000e,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:5a:4c:8c \ -blockdev '{"driver":"file","filename":"/usr/share/edk2-ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd","node-name":"libvirt-pflash0-storage","auto-read-only":true,"discard":"unmap"}' \ -blockdev '{"driver":"file","filename":"/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/streamer-vm-q35_VARS.fd","node-name":"libvirt-pflash1-storage","auto-read-only":true,"discard":"unmap"}' another issue encountered caused by this param: "-audiodev id=audio1,driver=none" which is auto added to the qemu line. if I add the line to the above oneliner, the guest doesn't detects the pt sound card. without it it does and it works. help on solving both issues will be appreciated. Thanks, Dagg

Passthrough PCI GPU device fails on reboot
by Francesc Guasch 28 Jul '21

28 Jul '21

Hello. I have a host with an NVIDIA RTX 3090. I configured PCI passthrough and it works fine. We are using it for CUA and Matlab on Ubuntu 20.04. The problem comes sometimes on rebooting the virtual machine. It doesn't happen 100% of the times but eventually after 3 or 4 reboots the PCI device stops working. The only solution is to reboot the host. Weird thing is this only happens when rebooting the VM. After a host reboot if we shutdown the virtual machine and we start it again, it works fine. I wrote a small script that does that a hundred times just to make sure. Only a reboot triggers the problem. When it fails I run "nvidia-smi" in the virtual machine and I get: No devices were found Also I spotted some errors in syslog NVRM: installed in this system is not supported by the NVIDIA 460.91.03 driver release. NVRM: GPU 0000:01:01.0: GPU has fallen off the bus NVRM: the NVIDIA kernel module is unloaded. NVRM: GPU 0000:01:01.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x23:0x65:1204) NVRM: GPU 0000:01:01.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0 The device is there because typing lspci I can see information: 0000:01:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:2204] (rev a1) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:403b] Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia I tried different Nvidia drivers and Linux kernels in the host and the virtual machine with the same results. I wonder if some process is keeping hold of the PCI device but every thing I tried failed. I made sure the virtual machines are down. Then I start it again. I also tried restarting libvirtd. I was thinking about a hardware problem but we 3 different GPUs of the same model and it happens with all of them. I know this is hard but I wonder if anyone here has any idea of what can I do to fix this. thank you for your time

by 梁朝军 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

Hi All, I hit another issue that libvirt sometimes throw exception like 'Failed to terminate process 1901409 with SIGKILL: Device or resource busy’ once we try to destroy vm through 'conn.lookupByID(id_).destroy()’. After this issue occur, it will caused the socket fd and pipe increased and finally caused fd leak. Who know the root cause of this issue or give some cues? Any comments are appreciated Thanks !

Yes, if your goal is to create a release archive for libvirt 6.0.0 with some patches on top[1] then the best way to go about it is to clone the repo, branch off the v6.0.0 tag, cherry-pick the changes you're interested in and then generate the archive using 'make distcheck'. [1] You could have told us this in the first place instead of asking a more generic question for which a different answer was more appropriate ;) -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization

openVswitch won't get to a virtual IP
by lejeczek 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

Hi guys. Among all the mailing lists I'm subscriber of this one I thought, would where chances to find 'openvswitch'+'libvirtd' experts to share thoughts & suggestions should be grater. A case: a) all guests are KVM. b) I have NM managed OVS bridge and libvirtd network to/on that bridge c) "regular" NM bridge and network off it in libvirt problem is - guests on OVS network can _not_ ping a virtual IP of a guest(s) on 'regular' bridge network, but.. can ping "actual" IP of that same guest(s) okey. any thoughts and ideas on how & what to investigate are very appreciated. many thanks, L.

Hello community, I am trying to figure out a way to build a release tarball like https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/releases?after=v6.2.0, for libvirt 6.0.0, but don't know how. Could anyone teach me how to package it? thank you. -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen
