[libvirt-users] Xen domains appear randomly
by Mathias Gaunard 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi, I have a problem with libvirt or at least with virt-manager and virsh. I have created Xen domains with them, and they do exist and are running without problems, which I can attest by using Xen native tools. However, depending on how I can connect to the machine (direct xen, xen+ssh), and depending on the user I log in as, I may or may not see the domains, or I may or may not be able to configure storage. I am running Debian Wheezy and using the libvirt version from the repositories. Any idea of how I could try to troubleshoot this problem?

[libvirt-users] Network inoperable with QEMU arm example image
by Larry Brown 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Is this thing on? I posted the message below twice now with no response by anyone. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or at least let me know this is not something they've ever seen so I know my posts are being viewed by those in the know? I'll try replicating the install process on another machine with hopes it will work there, but this is my desktop and I'd really like to have it run here rather than running a separate machine just to run the VM in. (That is provided it will run anywhere using these installation mechanisms) "I am running Fedora 16 64bit and installed libvirt. I have the VM running with arm emulation with this one issue I can't figure out. I used Virtual Machine Manager to manage the VM and can access its console there. The Ethernet appears to be eth1 and the guest can set an IP on it etc. However, I cannot see any traffic from the Host when dumping any of the interfaces. I've tried several combinations of network setups using the GUI and none appear to work. Optimally I'd like to bridge to my primary interface (em1) and be able to pull an address and talk directly to my network so I can download packages etc while in the VM. I tried setting up networking in that fashion with: Source Device : em1 with macvtap Device Model: Hypervisor Default Source Mode: Bridge but alas I cannot pull dhcp nor can I set a static address and ping other interfaces on the network. It also appears that every time I start the VM it creates another vnetX interface. One of the troubleshooting pages I came across listed all the tools but nothing about what to look for: 1) virsh net-list --all Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- default active yes 2) brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces virbr0 8000.52540029e6c7 yes virbr0-nic vnet0 vnet1 vnet2 vnet3 vnet4 3) sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1 4) iptables -L -v -n Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 767K packets, 189M bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 ACCEPT udp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:53 0 0 ACCEPT udp -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:67 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- virbr0 * 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 -- * virbr0 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.122.0/24 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 0 0 ACCEPT all -- virbr0 * 192.168.122.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 ACCEPT all -- virbr0 virbr0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 REJECT all -- * virbr0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable 0 0 REJECT all -- virbr0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 532K packets, 79M bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 5) ps -ef | grep dnsmasq nobody 12382 1 0 Sep11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file= --except-interface lo --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.leases --dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override 6) ifconfig -a em1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:B9:48:2B:BA inet addr:10.45.212.46 Bcast:10.45.212.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::219:b9ff:fe48:2bba/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:19048593 errors:95686 dropped:154 overruns:0 frame:98437 TX packets:10619346 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:12559170813 (11.6 GiB) TX bytes:1700214519 (1.5 GiB) Interrupt:16 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:2978074 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2978074 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:847201395 (807.9 MiB) TX bytes:847201395 (807.9 MiB) macvtap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:AC:7F:0C inet6 addr: fe80::5054:ff:feac:7f0c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:294814 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:42804350 (40.8 MiB) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b) virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:29:E6:C7 inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:621 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:43217 (42.2 KiB) virbr0-nic Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:29:E6:C7 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) vnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:00:AC:7F:0C BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:38159 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1995337 (1.9 MiB) vnet1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:00:AC:7F:0C BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:37299 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1949439 (1.8 MiB) vnet2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:00:AC:7F:0C BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:36154 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1888745 (1.8 MiB) vnet3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:00:AC:7F:0C BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:35068 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1832375 (1.7 MiB) vnet4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:00:AC:7F:0C BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:207 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:10896 (10.6 KiB) 7) cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1 Any help I can get to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

[libvirt-users] Article about libvirt and audit subsystem
by Marcelo Cerri 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi, Sometime ago I wrote an article about libvirt describing how the Linux audit subsystem can be used to track qemu guest's life-cycle. I think this is a topic that can be useful for many people here and so I'm forwarding the URL: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-kvm-libvirt-audit/index.h… Regards, Marcelo Cerri

Re: [libvirt-users] How to pass info to a guest?

Anyway, thinking it over, I need to apply these injections every time I boot. If the user updates his/her VNC password or rsa-id.pub file on the outside, I need it synced on the inside.

[libvirt-users] How to pass info to a guest?
by Renich Bon Ciric 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hello, I would love to be able to pass information to a Guest. For example: - I'd love to sync the root password with the VNC/Spice one - I'd like to be able to inject stuff to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys All of these at boot time. How would I do it? I'd make these files/strings available in the BIOS or something; maybe some kind of storage local to the host and guest as well. Then, I'd create a systemd script that checks these and syncs stuff @ reboot time. I don't know how to make this local storage available or if it is doable to insert this info into some BIOS string; obtainable with dmidecode or something. It would be awesome if this could be dynamic as well. Any feedback is appreciated! -- It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle. Love isn't asked for; it's just given.

[libvirt-users] How to migrate over TCP without certs
by Renich Bon Ciric 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hey guys, I have a private network and I trust it! /me hides behind trees... So, in order to exercise my trust, I wanna migrate guests over TCP; with and without shared storage. This is: - I want to migrate from host1 to host2; which have shared storage; over TCP without certs - I want to migrate from host1 to host99, which don't have shared storage, over TCP without certs I am asking because, every time I try anythng, it complains: error: Cannot read CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory If I need to setup this cacert, no problem; point me to it! Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this email. Fedora 17 x86_64 libvirt-0.9.11.5-3.fc17.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.0.1-1.fc17.x86_64 private network on vlan2, Dual 10 Gbps bonded (20, perhaps?) -- It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle.

[libvirt-users] libvirt network without dns ?
by Scott Moser 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hey, I've opened a bug against ubuntu at [1]. I realize this is probably not a high priority, but I was just curious if it is possible to have libvirt configure a network and *not* run a DNS server on it (dnsmasq). Perhaps I could convince libvirt to run dnsmasq with '--port 0'? For my explicit use case i was hoping/expecting to run my own dns and dhcp servers, possibly a specific server bound only to that interface (as dnsmasq does). I just wanted libvirt to create the bridge and setup NAT (and automatically bring the network and any configured guests on it up on boot). Heres what I did. $ BRIDGE="mybr0"; IP="192.168.123.1"; $ cat > $BRIDGE.xml <<EOF <network> <name>$BRIDGE</name> <forward mode='nat'/> <bridge name='$BRIDGE' stp='off' delay='0' /> <ip address='$IP' netmask='255.255.255.0'> </ip> </network> EOF $ sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-define $BRIDGE.xml $ sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-start $BRIDGE ## See, after 'start' dnsmasq is running and usable on that interface. $ ps axw | grep dnsm | grep $BRIDGE.pid 9888 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq -u libvirt-dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/mybr0.pid --conf-file= --except-interface lo --listen-address 192.168.123.1 $ dig +short @$IP www.ubuntu.com 91.189.90.41 -- [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1053408

[libvirt-users] libvirt and lxc and puppet
by erkan yanar 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hoi, Im running some hosts with a lot of lxc-containers (lxc-execute). Now Im going to have a look into libvirt. So I wonder: Are there some docs about what lxc@libvirt is supporting? Imho you have a subset of the lxc-capabilities with libvirt. Anyone doing by any chance the same and using puppet to deploy (application)containers? So I could get a recommendation which module to use, instead of writing ma own. Regards Erkan -- über den grenzen muß die freiheit wohl wolkenlos sein

Hello, I think I've done something to my machine, but I can't seem to figure out what. I have now set up a very simple lxc setup to try and test this.
