[libvirt-users] How can I rebase network disk?
by Boxiang Zhu 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Hi. I am using openstack, ceph and libvirt now. The live volume migration will call the libvirt rebase function in openstack nova project. https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/rocky/nova/virt/libvirt/drive… https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/rocky/nova/virt/libvirt/guest… But I use the ceph as the openstack block backend. And the type of disk is network in xml. <disk type='network' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback' discard='unmap'/> <auth username='cinder'> <secret type='ceph' uuid='86d3922a-b471-4dc1-bb89-b46ab7024e81'/> </auth> <source protocol='rbd' name='volumes002/volume-127f46fc-ef10-4462-af30-c3893cda31f9'> <host name='172.16.140.63' port='6789'/> </source> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> <serial>127f46fc-ef10-4462-af30-c3893cda31f9</serial> <alias name='virtio-disk1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </disk> Now I found it is not supported to rebase network disk. It is only rebase block or file disk now. https://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainBlockRebase My question is that can I rebase network disk by some other ways from libvirt? Cheers, Boxiang

[libvirt-users] How to convert "device_model_version = "qemu-xen-traditiona"" into libvirt xml file How to convert "device_model_version = "qemu-xen-traditiona"" into libvirt xml file
by hanyandong 26 Oct '23

I am using Xen-4.4.0, libvirt-1.2.9 My ubuntu.cfg is: ubuntu10.cfg bootloader = "/usr/local/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder="hvm" memory = 512 name = "ubuntu" vif = [ "type=ioemu,bridge=ovsbr0", "type=ioemu,bridge=ovsbr0","type=ioemu,bridge=ovsbr0","type=ioemu,bridge=ovsbr0",,"type=ioemu,bridge=ovsbr0"] device_model_version = "qemu-xen-traditional" If I didnot add " device_model_version = "qemu-xen-traditional" " to ubuntu.cfg, I only can add four NICs to VM. If I add five or more,, I got these errors: libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:1371:device_model_spawn_outcome: domain 12 device model: spawn failed (rc=-3) libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1186:domcreate_devmodel_started: device model did not start: -3 libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:1475:kill_device_model: Device Model already exited If I add " device_model_version = "qemu-xen-traditional" " to ubuntu.cfg, I can apply 8 NICs to VM. But, I want to create domU by virsh(libvirt), so How convert " device_model_version = "qemu-xen-traditional"" to xml file used by virsh? and How many NIC can a VM have? what leads to this limit？ -- Best Regards, yandong

ANNOUNCE: Forthcoming changes to libvirt mailing list hosting
by Daniel P. Berrangé 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Hello Libvirt Community, For the last 18(!) years, libvirt community mailing lists have been kindly hosted by Red Hat Corporate IT on the redhat.com Mailman installation. In retrospect this wasn't the ideal home for community mailing lists but that decision is ancient history. Unfortunately as a consequence of infrastructure changes, the redhat.com Mailman service is scheduled to be decomissioned, and in the very near future ($low weeks) will cease to be able to send/receive mail for libvirt lists. As a result, all the libvirt mailing lists will need to move to a new Mailman installation, managed on our behalf by the Red Hat Open Source Community Infrastructure team[1], who provide services for a variety of OSS projects. It is intended that this new service will be dedicated for our community and thus located somewhere under the libvirt.org domain. It should go without saying that all existing mail archives will be migrated over to the new server. None of the historical record should be lost. It is not considered appropriate netiquette, however, to bulk-resubscribe all current list members under a new domain. Thus anyone who wants to remain on the community lists will soon be requested to take action to enroll on the new mailman service. The new service is not quite ready for use yet. This mail serves as a heads up that the changes will be coming in the next couple of weeks that will require action. A further announcement will be sent when the new mailman is ready to accept subscriptions, as well as warnings before the old lists stop accepting messages.

Problem starting Windows 11 EE
by Rahul S 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Hi, I configured a W11EE VM using virt-manager and joined it to my work domain. Everything was fine for a while. Later when I tried to reboot, I got the "Preparing Automatic Repair" message and when I selected "Startup Repair", I got the error "Startup repair couldn't repair your PC". I then went to command prompt, started 'diskpart' and ran "list disk" and got the error "there are no fixed disks to show". I have tried re-installing several times - it always ends up in this state. A few details of my system: host OS: OpenSUSE 15.5 libvirt version: 9.0.0-150500.4.3 virtio drivers: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-vi… Disk device type: virtio bitlocker is enabled in VM I am able to configure and use W11-professional without joining my work domain. The above problem isn't seen there. I booted the broken VM using my linux rescue disk image and examined the partition table. Everything seems to be proper. But windows isn't able to find the disk as I explained above. Can anybody provide any pointers for troubleshooting this ? Thanks, -Rahul

any advantage to using pool type glusterfs if no GFAPI
by W Kern 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

I have used fuse mounted gluster with 'dir' for years. Works great, aside from having to use the --unsafe flag on migrations. I am building up a new system and wondering if using the glusterfs type would be a better/safer choice. I'm not concerned about gfapi (host is U22LTS so I'm not even sure if it has it). I'm not concerned about the automount feature as that happens on start up anyway. I'm more interested if there is any technical or performance reasons to prefer 'glusterfs' pool type over 'dir' of course not having the --unsafe flag would be nice, but thats all scripted in anyway. -wk

Question about encryption and tls
by Kamil Jońca 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

(Posted few days ago on qemu group but no reactions) Do I understand correctly that ssl shoudl be configured independently for libvirt and each hypervisor? I asked because I configured libvirt connection as qemu+tls://bambus.kjonca/system?pkipath=... (and on bambus in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf) I set key_file = ... cert_file = ... ca_file = ... But after connect and lauching (on bambus) vm I tried to snif traffic to bambus:5900 on client) and wireshark was able to detect "VNC" protocol (BTW not spice?), so I am confused. should I configure in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf spice_tls option and certificates ?
