I had test the command virsh blockcommit, but it failed, with the libvirt version 1.1.0, and qemu version 1.6.0. Is this feature being developing?

[libvirt-users] libvirt-qemu/kvm passthru w/Intel 82598EB
by laurence.schuler 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hi, I am trying to configure two identical systems with the following setup. dom0: Centos 6 OS on Apple Xserve i7 server with PCI cards for 4GB FC (LSI FC949ES) and 10GB Ethernet (Intel 82598EB) dom1: Centos 5 OS with passthru mode of PCI 4GB FC and 10GB Ethernet (ixgbe and mptfc blacklisted in dom0) Everything starts ok, but networking in dom1 using the 10GB interface has extremely high rtt w/ping tests (20-30ms avg). I've tried a few tweaks I've discovered via googling, but nothing seems to help. (run libvirt as root, set privilege mode, etc) For validation, I have the same card in Dell hosts running Centos 6 natively and they get an avg rtt of .06ms or better. Furthemore the Dell will contact the dom1 but the connection has rtt avg times of about 6ms. With the ethernet interface on the motherboard of the Apple Xserve, I will see rtt times of .06ms within the dom1's, so I think this points to a problem with the Intel card passthru usage, perhaps interrupts handling?. Does anyone know if I need to set any special options for the ixgbe driver under libvirt?

[libvirt-users] Running libvirt on a virtualized server
by Andre Gustavo Pereira da Silva 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi everyone I'm trying to create a virtual machine using OpenNebula [1] on a centos 6.4 server, but i'm facing some erros using kvm / libvirt. This server is running on a virtual machine created on XCP. Then, my infrastructure is: XCP 1.6 (hypervisor - dom0) + CentOS 6.4 (running on a XCP VM) + OpenNebula 4.0.1 (installed on CentOS). In the host machine, I have the same infrastructure. The problem I'm facing is that, by following the tutorial [2], i've noticed that neither the parameter 'vmx' nor 'svm' is listed on the CPU information provided by the virtual machine where the centOs is running. However, if i run the same command in XCP hypervisor, the parameter 'vmx' is listed. That is, the CPU informations provided by XCP are different from those provided by its virtual machines. My question is: is it possible to use libvirt in this scenario? Here are some messages: - Libvirt log on centoOS (XCP VM): Aug 27 13:26:21 localhost libvirtd: 9945: info : libvirt version: 0.10.2, package: 18.el6_4.9 (CentOS BuildSystem <http://bugs.centos.org>, 2013-07-02-11:19:29, c6b8.bsys.dev.centos.org) Aug 27 13:26:21 localhost libvirtd: 9945: error : udevGetDMIData:1502 : Failed to get udev device for syspath '/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id' or '/sys/class/dmi/id' Aug 27 13:26:21 localhost kernel: Ebtables v2.0 registered Aug 27 13:26:22 localhost kernel: lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions Aug 27 13:26:40 localhost polkitd[10145]: started daemon version 0.96 using authority implementation `local' version `0.96' Aug 27 13:28:35 localhost libvirtd: 9937: error : qemuProcessStart:3696 : unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available.

[libvirt-users] How to add uplink in ESXi virtual switch
by varun bhatnagar 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi, I have an ESXi server, on top of it I have created one VM whose IP address is 192.168.79.1. I want to connect to the VM on ESXi server from my host machine but I am not able to do it. I have created a network "networkforSC" and I have pasted my xml file content below but I am not able to add any uplink (how to add it?) . Below is the xml file of my node as well as the network which I am creating on my ESXi server *<domain type='vmware'>* *<name>testNode</name>* *<uuid>50115e16-9bdc-49d7-f171-53c4d7f91710</uuid>* *<memory>1048576</memory>* *<currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory>* *<vcpu>1</vcpu>* *<console>/dev/console</console>* *<os>* *<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>* *</os>* *<devices>* *<disk type='file' device='disk'>* *<source file='[datastore1] testNode/testNode.vmdk'/>* *<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>* *<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>* *</disk>* *<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='lsilogic'/>* ** *<interface type='bridge'>* *<mac address='00:50:56:25:48:c7'/>* *<source bridge='VM Network'/>* *</interface>* *<interface type='bridge'>* *<source bridge='test'/>* *</interface>* *</devices>* *</domain>* ########################################## Network File: *<network>* *<name>networkforSC</name>* *<portgroup name='test'>* *</portgroup>* *</network>* I have checked the network which got created on the server. As I have not attached any uplink (vmnic0) I can not see it (I want to attach it). #esxcli network vswitch standard list * * *networkforSC* *Name: networkforSC* *Class: etherswitch* *Num Ports: 128* *Used Ports: 2* *Configured Ports: 128* *MTU: 1500* *CDP Status: listen* *Beacon Enabled: false* *Beacon Threshold: 3* *Beacon Required By:* *Uplinks:* *Portgroups: test* Can anyone please help me out in adding the uplink and also can anyone tell me whether I am going in a right direction so that I could ping my virtual machine created on ESXi server.

HI： I’m a user of your libvirt, and it help me a lot of time. Thank you for your greate work! However,I found some understand problems,the following is my test environment: 1.I use the version of libvirt is libvirt1.1.1,when I want to use the command like this: #virsh -c xenapi://<my localip>/?no_verify=1 #virsh :list #enter username for<my localip>:root #enter password for<my localip>: it return correct list,but when i input virsh --all list this #virsh list --all it most of time return correct lists,but sometimes returns interal error:TRANSPORT_FAULT:56 why?

[libvirt-users] how to setup network filter
by Jiaan Zeng 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi All, I am new to libvirt and encounter a strange problem to set up network filter in a NAT network. I launched VMs in a single host using NAT, i.e. interface type='network'. Now I want to control the outbound traffic from VM instance - only allow the VM to asses a set of ip addresses. My network filter xml is as follows. The problem is once I change the VM xml, shutdown and start VM, VM cannot get ip address. /var/log/libvirt/libvirt.log shows " error : virNetDevGetIndex:656 : Unable to get index for interface vnet2: No such device" error. But when I remove the drop rule in the filter xml, VM can get IP address. I even tried the clean-traffic filter shipped with libvirt. VM throws the same error above. Any idea why this happens? How can I implement outbound traffic control in libvirt? Thanks a lot. <filter name='filter-test'> <rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='500'> <tcp dstportstart='22'/> </rule> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'> <ip dstipaddr='IP1'/> </rule> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'> <ip dstipaddr='IP2'/> </rule> <rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='500'> <all/> </rule> </filter> The VM network section XML looks like this <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:0d:f1:ce'/> <source network='default'/> <filterref filter='filter-test'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> -- Regards, Jiaan

[libvirt-users] Migration Clarification Request
by The PowerTool 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

I built a vm with the guest OS Windows XP. I have it running exactly the way I need it. Now I need to move it to a computer at another location. My plan was to build the vm and then just copy the ISO and take it to the new system. Specifications: Host OS is a current/up-to-date Fedora 18 I used yum install @virtualization I launched boxes in gnome and installed the guest system (XP) After getting everything running to my specifications I started researching how to move the vm to another system. I have one question: Referring to the information at: http://libvirt.org/migration.html " Migration of guests between hosts is a complicated problem" Can someone please point me to documentation stating why migration is "a complicated problem"?? The vm is powered off. I didn't use encryption (that I'm aware of--and I hope that doesn't bite me but I can re-install if necessary). gnome-boxes made this a pretty-simple setup and I like it. I know with about the same effort I can do this in VMWare, if necessary. I also know with VMWare I can create vm images that are portable and easily transported from system to system. If that is not the case with libvirt and gnome-boxes I'd like to understand why. Even though gnome-boxes made the setup fairly easy I can see where it is still in it's infancy. I thought libvirt was more mature and seems to offer CL access to everything I need (which I really like). Thanks, in-advance, for your help and consideration.
