...During today's Fedora 20 Virtualization Test Day: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-10-08_Virtualization In case anyone is interested, come on #fedora-test-day (on freenode), and feel free to look for and ping me (I'm dariof). I've updated this page with the most current information: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Fedora_Test_Days Notice that Fedora 20 will be one of the first mainstream distros shipping Xen 4.3... Let's do all we can for it to work great for all Fedora users!! :-D Thanks and Regards, Dario -- <<This happens because I choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D, http://about.me/dario.faggioli Senior Software Engineer, Citrix Systems R&D Ltd., Cambridge (UK)

by anagha b 08 Oct '13

Hi I am using virt-manager and created bridge at host . My host nw interfaces is auto br0 iface br0 inet static address x.x.x.178 network x.x.x.0 netmask x.x.x.x broadcast gateway x.x.x.x[gateway of eth0 earlier] bridge_ports eth0 bridge_fd 0 bridge_hello 2 bridge_maxage 12 bridge_stp off #dns-search google.com dns-nameservers x.x.x.x x.x.x.x with this config 1] net inside host is working 2]net inside vms created using nat is working but i have to manually ser interface file inside the NATD vm. 3] when i create virtualnetwork in routed mode using shared physical device br0 and assign vm to it the net inside vm not working . 4] created virtual network using only routed mode with any physical device instaead og br0 still net inside vm not working. I followed documentation on libvirt site . I want vms indifferent nw should communicate with each other like net1 and vm1 can ping vm2 in net2 .

Re: [libvirt-users] Automatically assign static ipv4 via dhcp to new VMs (Tim)
by Chandana De Silva 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

You can do this with the built in dhcp server for the virtual network. The definition is passed to dnsmasq. ... <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0"> <dhcp> <range start="192.168.122.100" end="192.168.122.254" /> <host mac="00:16:3e:e2:ed" name="foo.example.com" ip="192.168.122.10" /> </dhcp> </ip> ...

[libvirt-users] network filter and openvswitch bridge
by Pavel Tokarev 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Hello all! I try to use network filters for openvswitch interfaces. This is the xml configuration of my bridge interface <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/> <source bridge='virbr1'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'> <parameters interfaceid='0529d6b5-627c-4330-803f-0d7018e6d496'/> </virtualport> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='myfilter'> <parameter name='IP' value='10.10.10.99'/> </filterref> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </interface> The filter 'myfilter' is defined. If I start a domain with this interface all ports are correctly added to the 'virbr1' bridge, plus libvirt creates firewall rules using ebtables tool. BUT ebtables controls linux bridges, not openvswich bridges. As far as I know OVS has its own tool to create firewall rules for its bridges - ovs-ofctl. How to make libvirt to use the right tool for creating firewall rules for OVS bridges? If I remove ebtables tool and try to start the domain, libvirt complains "cannot create rule since ebtables tool is missing." Thank you.

[libvirt-users] libvirt crash when using libxl (xen 4.3)
by dienet 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Hi I was trying out the libxl backend of xen 4.3 with libvirt, but I found it very unstable and unusable. I'm in xen 4.3 dom0 and starting: 1. xen stuff: echo "Starting Xen..." /etc/init.d/xencommons start #/etc/init.d/xend start . /etc/rc.d/rc.xen_bridge start /etc/init.d/xendomains start #libvirtd -l -d hsflowd 2. Starting libvirt -v to see what is going on. After that I'm using virsh to do some simple tasks: virsh # list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- Where is dom0? virsh # create debian_pv.xml error: Failed to create

[libvirt-users] Bringing up a guest with network disabled
by James Gibbon 05 Oct '13

05 Oct '13

Hello all, I have a KVM guest VM which is a clone of a production machine running on a different physical server, incarnated from an image backup. I want to start up the clone, but obviously it has the same IP address at the moment, and naturally I want to avoid an IP conflict. Normally I'd mount the clone image, go in and change the network config to allocate a different IP, but because it's set up with its whole disk as a LVM that's a bit painful. Is there a simple way I can disable the networking for the guest clone in the config file, so I can VNC into its console and change its IP address config that way? The devices section of the config looks like this: <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/sonic2.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> </disk> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='0A:F7:B6:96:BF:85'/> <source bridge='br0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </console> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5937' autoport='no' keymap='en-gb'/> </devices> .. can I change that 'interface type' value to disable its interface? Thanks, James

[libvirt-users] Changing test_driver.c file
by Arun Viswanath 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Hi All, For some testing purpose I've changed some content in src/test/test_driver.c and then used "make" command to compile and build the code. Then I copied the "libvirt.so.0.9.10.so" file to the target machine and restart the libvirtd daemon, but the changes I made in test_driver.c is nothing reflected. I'm not sure whether I'm missing something. Is it moving only the "libvirt.so.0.9.10.so" is enough or I need to move some .a files ? , but I'm not seeing any ".a" in the kvm host related to libvirt to replace. Please provide me sufficient info to proceed further. Thanks In Advance, Arun V

[libvirt-users] passthrough shared dir with kvm: need to run as root?
by Raphael Bauduin 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi, I need to mount a directory from the host in a guest, with passthough (ie, owner id and group set in the guest should be preserved and written on the host). I've read that for this to work, qemu needs to be run as root. Is there a way to start qemu as root via libvirt? Thanks raph
