[libvirt-users] network setup
by anita.sivakumar＠wipro.com 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

Hi All, I am a newbie to libvirt. I am trying to set up a Lxc container using a nat based network. I am able to create the container and log into it. But I don't see any interface created by default in the container. In other words my ifconfig inside the container does not show up any interfaces even if I run 'ifconfig lo up' for a loop back interface. Also I don't have any dhcp configured in my machine. I am not sure why this is happening... These are my network and domain configurations. Any help will be highly appreciated. <network> <name>mynetwork</name> <forward mode="nat" dev="em2"/> <bridge name="virbr1" /> <ip address="192.168.123.1" netmask="255.255.255.0"> <dhcp> <range start="192.168.123.2" end="192.168.123.10" /> <host mac="18:03:73:F8:8A:75" name="vm100" ip="192.168.123.3"/> </dhcp> </ip> </network> Domain xml: <domain type='lxc'> <name>helloworld</name> <memory>102400</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/bin/sh</init> </os> <devices> <console type='pty'/> </devices> <interface type='network'> <source network='mynetwork'/> <mac address="18:03:73:F8:8A:75"/> <target dev='vm100'/> </interface> </domain> Regards, Anita

Hi, i have a lvm partition that i need to share from the host server to the virtual machines. em1: 10.0.0.251 em2: 10.0.0.252 macvtap:em1 10.0.0.249 macvtap:em2 10.0.0.250 With identical configs (so i believe that they are) from VM win2003 i can ping to all the above IPs and open the samba share as a map drive. >From VM: win2008 i can ping to VMwin2003 but not at hosts IPs .251 & 252. I have attached some info on my setup. Plz advice. -- Evaggelos Balaskas - Unix System Engineer http://gr.linkedin.com/in/evaggelosbalaskas

[libvirt-users] alias as volume names for multipath storrage pools
by Michael Menge 05 Oct '12

05 Oct '12

Hi, I use virt-manager 0.9.4 and libvirt 0.9.13-0 and have configured a multipath storage pool. In the storage management window of virtmanager, only the short device name "dm-1" is shown as volumename. Is there a way to display the alias name or the path in thes storage window, as example_vm_root oder /dev/mapper/example_vm_root is more informative as dm-1 Regards Michael Menge -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.Menge Tel.: (49) 7071/29-70316 Universität Tübingen Fax.: (49) 7071/29-5912 Zentrum für Datenverarbeitung mail: michael.menge(a)zdv.uni-tuebingen.de Wächterstraße 76 72074 Tübingen

[libvirt-users] no callback on VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BALLOON_CHANGE in 0.10.2
by Ben Clay 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

I'm trying to track balloon growth after issuing a setmem command to a KVM guest with libvirt 0.10.2 and qemu-kvm 0.12.1.2 on CentOS 6.3. libvirt 0.10.2 was built from tar today and appears to be working fine. The guest is running CentOS 6.3 as well. Using the provided test programs under examples/domain-events/ in C and Python, I'm not seeing VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BALLOON_CHANGE ever tick, although I do see other events like VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_REBOOT, and VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_RTC_CHANGE. The balloon is definitely changing, and is reflected by both virsh -c qemu:///system dommemstat <dom> and free inside the guest. Here's the balloon in my config for reference: <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> Is my understanding incorrect of what VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BALLOON_CHANGE is? Is there something else this event is tracking, other than a virsh -c qemu:///system setmem <dom> <mem in KB> command and/or subsequent balloon movement inside the guest? Or, is my old version of qemu-kvm not passing this event back to libvirt? The latter doesn't seem correct because I'm getting seemingly-valid values from dommemstat - ie, if I setmem 200MB when the guest OS and applications are consuming 300MB, it reports near 300MB (and the guest no longer responds) instead of just parroting the 200MB value I fed it.

[libvirt-users] IPv4 routed virtual networks
by Gene Czarcinski 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

OK, either I have taken a stupid pill and am missing something basic or routed network do not work. I assume that, if they did work, it would be in more or less that same manner as a nat network as far as ping'ing, ssh'ing, etc. to another real host on the same real LAN as the virtualization host. At least that is what I believe I should expect. I have googled for info and everything says that it should work. On of the referenced documents was this: http://berrange.com/posts/2009/12/13/routed-subnets-without-nat-for-libvirt… I checked through everything and it all matches what is in the document. I can go from the guest to the host (ping, ssh, etc) but not from that guest to another real host on the same real LAN. I am patching the relevant info below: ---------------------------------- net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 1 net.ipv4.conf.p32p1.forwarding = 1 net.ipv4.conf.virbr8.forwarding = 1 -------------------------------- <network> <name>routed</name> <uuid>1b2a0197-e708-165c-f266-6822e73cfbdd</uuid> <forward dev='p32p1' mode='route'> <interface dev='p32p1'/> </forward> <bridge name='virbr8' stp='on' delay='0' /> <mac address='52:54:00:B9:59:49'/> <domain name='routed'/> <ip address='192.168.123.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='192.168.123.128' end='192.168.123.254' /> </dhcp> </ip> </network> ------------------------------- Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 ACCEPT udp -- virbr8 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- virbr8 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:53 0 0 ACCEPT udp -- virbr8 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:67 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- virbr8 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:67 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 ACCEPT all -- p32p1 virbr8 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.123.0/24 0 0 ACCEPT all -- virbr8 p32p1 192.168.123.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 ACCEPT all -- virbr8 virbr8 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 REJECT all -- * virbr8 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable 0 0 REJECT all -- virbr8 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable ------------------------------ This is Fedora 17 with an updated libvirt 0.10.1-4.fc17 [another system with the same "problem" is running libvirt 0.10.2-1.fc17]. Anyone know what is going on? BTW, I searched bugzilla for the comment containing the string routed filed against packages libvirt, qemu, qemu-kvm, or kvm ...Result .. no hits! If this is really a bug rather than something I did or did not do, then nobody is using routed virtual networks. BTW, I have a real F17 systems sitting between to networks on two different NICs and it routes things nicely, thank you very much. It does work but not for the virtual networks. I would really like it to be something I am missing. Gene

[libvirt-users] libvirt Java to connect at the XEN
by Felipe Oliveira Gutierrez 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi people, I am new using libvirt for Java I created a class to test my conecction with XEN, but it is throwing a exception that I can't figure out how I solve this. Does anyone knoe how to configure it correctly? I cat use this class from the command line: $ javac -classpath /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/libvirt-0.4.9.jar test.java $ java -classpath .:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/jna.jar:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/libvirt-0.4.9.jar test and it connect to the XEN. But when I put the code on my eclipse it doesn't work any more. ... conn = new Connect("xen:///", true); .... libvir: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: Error checking for authorization org.libvirt.unix.manage: Remote Exception invoking org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.CheckAuthorization() on /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/Authority at name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.libvirt.unix.manage is not registered exception caught:org.libvirt.LibvirtException: authentication failed: Error checking for authorization org.libvirt.unix.manage: Remote Exception invoking org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.CheckAuthorization() on /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/Authority at name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.libvirt.unix.manage is not registered level:VIR_ERR_ERROR code:VIR_ERR_AUTH_FAILED domain:VIR_FROM_RPC hasConn:false hasDom:false hasNet:false message:authentication failed: Error checking for authorization org.libvirt.unix.manage: Remote Exception invoking org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.CheckAuthorization() on /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/Authority at name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.libvirt.unix.manage is not registered str1:authentication failed: %s str2:Error checking for authorization org.libvirt.unix.manage: Remote Exception invoking org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.CheckAuthorization() on /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/Authority at name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.libvirt.unix.manage is not registered str3:null int1:-1 int2:-1 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at TestLibVirt.main(TestLibVirt.java:88) -- *-- Felipe Oliveira Gutierrez* *-- **lipe.82(a)gmail.com* <lipe.82(a)gmail.com> *-- https://sites.google.com/site/lipe82/Home/diaadia*
