[libvirt-users] sr-iov on Intel 82576 and rhel 7 - would not work
by lejeczek 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

hi everybody a windows kvm guest would not start, process gets killed with: Out of memory: Kill process 21984 (qemu-kvm) score 44 or sacrifice child I really don't know where/what I might be missing, config seems fine, everything looks ok - I only am not sure, do I need to first stub a SR-IOV device like regular passthrough? I'm trying sr-iov, having one NIC left to the host and the second give to a pool. Then I have in a guest: <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:99:df:43'/> <source network='passthrough-pool'/> <model type='rtl8139'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </interface> and the net: <network> <name>passthrough-pool</name> <uuid>dd5b4aa3-7c46-4874-a17f-6c0582738bd5</uuid> <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> <pf dev='enp2s0f1'/> </forward> </network> ---- 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Device 10c9 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 40 Memory at dfce0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Memory at dfcc0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at a800 [size=32] Memory at dfc9c000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Expansion ROM at dfca0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable+ 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=10 Masked- Capabilities: [a0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number 00-25-90-ff-ff-72-bb-e2 Capabilities: [150] Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI) Capabilities: [160] Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Kernel driver in use: igb 02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Device 10c9 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 41 Memory at dfc20000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Memory at dfc00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at a400 [size=32] Memory at dfbdc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Expansion ROM at dfbe0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable+ 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=10 Masked- Capabilities: [a0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number 00-25-90-ff-ff-72-bb-e2 Capabilities: [150] Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI) Capabilities: [160] Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Kernel driver in use: igb

[libvirt-users] vol-info showing old disk size
by Zero Uno 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Hi, I just resized the disk image of a virtual machine by following the recommended virt-resize procedure. The enlarged disk is working fine, and the size is correctly detected and used in the virtual machine. But "virsh vol-info /path/to/imagefile" still shows the old size and allocation. Is there a way to "fix" this, i.e. making virsh aware of the new size? Thanks. Marco

[libvirt-users] unattended cloning
by Adam King 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Morning, I have a KVM guest running Win 2012 with MS SQL 2012. In order to provide a quick method of restoring the service should the live server die, we've decided to clone it to a preserved state. Ideally, this clone should also be kept up to date and cloning should be done on a regular basis. Is there any reason not to do unattended cloning? As in, when I leave on a Friday afternoon, start a script to clone the guest and auto start the live guest? Thanks Adam King IT Systems Administrator

[libvirt-users] savevm and qemu 2.1.1
by Thomas Stein 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

hello. I have an issue with libvirt-1.2.6 and qemu-2.1.1. As soon as i do: "savevm $domain" the domain ist gone. Console says "unable to connect to monitor". Libvirt.log says: qemu-system-x86_64: /var/tmp/portage/app- emulation/qemu-2.1.1/work/qemu-2.1.1/hw/net/virtio-net.c:1348: virtio_net_save: Assertion `!n->vhost_started' fail ed. Googling for this error leads to a barely related qemu-dev thread. Has someone else experiencing this behaviour? Uh. Almost forgot to mention. Going back to qemu-2.1.0 solves the issue. best regards t.

[libvirt-users] Using custom QEMU binaries with libvirt
by Joaquim Barrera 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi all, I compiled a custom version of QEMU 2.0.0 and I am having hard times to make it available to libvirt. Just to clarify, if I execute /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 it does performs good. But when I put this very same path to <emulator> tag in a domain configutation, when i start the domain I get error: Failed to start domain vm1 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: libvirt: error : cannot execute binary /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64: Permission denied I tried setting +x permission to all the binaries in /usr/local/bin, disabling apparmor profile for libvirtd, creating and putting to complain a profile for /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64, creating a softlink to /usr/bin/kvm-spice to the custom binary and leaving <emulator> as default... At the end of http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openstack/dev/40033 I found something about AppArmor, and enabling bios.bin reading somewhere, but I got a little confused here. The most disapointing thing here, is that using qemu 1.7 I could use my custom build, but apparently something changed with 2.0 (or with libvirt integration). Any ideas? Thanks!

[libvirt-users] VM status when guest poweroff
by Hong-Hua.Yin＠freescale.com 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi， I tried QEMU on ARM/PPC platforms. If running poweroff command on guest, it should also shutoff the VM. But it shows the VM status still be 'running' instead of 'shutoff'. I guess it should be qemu issue, is it right? Best Regards, Olivia

[libvirt-users] qemu:///system and qemu:///session
by navin p 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hi, I try to connect from virsh -c qemu:///session and it shows the VMs created by by that particular user (testuser). But when i try from root virsh -c qemu:///system i don't see the vms created by testuser. How do i make it appear in the root's virsh ie the vms created by testuser ? I need this because i need information for global VM statistics created by all users. Can someone help me regarding this ? Regards, Navin
