How to move emulated SWTPM data to a new VM
by Sam Varshavchik 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

I have an existing VM with an emulated TPM module. I'm trying to create a replacement VM, pointing to the same disk image that the existing VM uses, and also migrate the existing TPM module to it. Would just copying everything in /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm/<UUID> work? I did some practice runs, and it seems that virt-manager immediately starts the new VM as soon as it creates one, so I need to quickly turn it off, go look up its new UUID, and copy over the TPM files?

security driver mismatch blocks live migration..
by Jiatong Shen 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

Hello community, I am seeing following error during performing a live migration libvirtError: unsupported configuration: Unable to find security driver for model apparmor The root cause is the destination libvirtd runs inside a container and apparmor profile is not enabled. Right now I am researching how to enable apparmor profile for a k8s pod. But Is it possible to do a live migrate an instance and disable security driver at the same time? Thank you. -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen

internal error: Network is already in use by interface virbr0
by Michael Ströder 18 Sep '21

18 Sep '21

HI! I'm using libvirt 7.7.0 on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Until recently everything just worked. But now my virtual NAT network is not usable anymore. Starting a VM I get this error: # virsh start ae-dir-suse-p1 error: Failed to start domain 'ae-dir-suse-p1' error: Requested operation is not valid: network 'vnet1' is not active Manually starting the network does not work either: # virsh net-start vnet1 error: Failed to start network vnet1 error: internal error: Network is already in use by interface virbr0 In syslog I find: libvirtd: 6325: error : networkCheckRouteCollision:296 : internal error: Network is already in use by interface virbr0 What does that mean? Where to look for a config error? Ciao, Michael.

Hi, I'm trying to compile libvirt on ubuntu machine. I installed meson 0.59.1 using pip. Then installed a few more packages that were required by meson build: sudo apt-get install libxml2-utils xsltproc libpciaccess-dev ninja-build Finally, I followed the simple instructions over here: https://libvirt.org/compiling.html xz -dc libvirt-7.7.0.tar.xz | tar xvf - cd libvirt-7.7.0 meson build ninja -C build The last command fails with: FAILED: src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0 cc -o src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0 src/libvirt_probes.o src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0.p/meson-generated_.._admin_admin_protocol.c.o src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0.p/admin_libvirt-admin.c.o src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0.p/datatypes.c.o -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined -shared -fPIC -Wl,--start-group -Wl,-soname,libvirt-admin.so.0 '-Wl,-rpath,$ORIGIN/:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' -Wl,-rpath-link,/home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/src src/libvirt.so.0.7007.0 -Wl,--version-script=/home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/src/admin/libvirt_admin.syms -Wl,-z,nodelete /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcap-ng.so /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libdevmapper.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libyajl.so -Wl,--end-group /usr/bin/ld: src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0.p/admin_libvirt-admin.c.o: in function `callFull': /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/admin_remote.c:99: undefined reference to `virNetClientProgramCall' /usr/bin/ld: src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0.p/admin_libvirt-admin.c.o: in function `remoteAdminConnectClose': /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/admin_remote.c:197: undefined reference to `virNetClientSetCloseCallback' /usr/bin/ld: /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/admin_remote.c:199: undefined reference to `virNetClientClose' /usr/bin/ld: src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0.p/admin_libvirt-admin.c.o: in function `remoteAdminPrivNew': /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/admin_remote.c:225: undefined reference to `virNetClientNewUNIX' /usr/bin/ld: /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/admin_remote.c:228: undefined reference to `virNetClientProgramNew' /usr/bin/ld: /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/admin_remote.c:233: undefined reference to `virNetClientAddProgram' /usr/bin/ld: src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0.p/admin_libvirt-admin.c.o: in function `remoteAdminConnectOpen': /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/admin_remote.c:159: undefined reference to `virNetClientRegisterAsyncIO' /usr/bin/ld: /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/admin_remote.c:166: undefined reference to `virNetClientSetCloseCallback' /usr/bin/ld: src/libvirt-admin.so.0.7007.0.p/admin_libvirt-admin.c.o: in function `virAdmConnectIsAlive': /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../src/admin/libvirt-admin.c:397: undefined reference to `virNetClientIsOpen' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status [2/11] Linking target tests/virsystemdtest FAILED: tests/virsystemdtest cc -o tests/virsystemdtest src/libvirt_probes.o tests/virsystemdtest.p/virsystemdtest.c.o -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-export-dynamic -pie -Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,--start-group tests/libtest_utils.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive '-Wl,-rpath,$ORIGIN/../src' -Wl,-rpath-link,/home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/src src/libvirt.so.0.7007.0 -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries -Wl,-export-dynamic -ldl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnl-3.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnl-route-3.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libyajl.so -Wl,--end-group -Wl,-export-dynamic /usr/bin/ld: tests/virsystemdtest.p/virsystemdtest.c.o: in function `testActivationCreateFDs': /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../tests/virsystemdtest.c:506: undefined reference to `virNetSocketNewListenUNIX' /usr/bin/ld: /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../tests/virsystemdtest.c:513: undefined reference to `virNetSocketNewListenTCP' /usr/bin/ld: tests/virsystemdtest.p/virsystemdtest.c.o: in function `testActivation': /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../tests/virsystemdtest.c:548: undefined reference to `virNetSocketGetPath' /usr/bin/ld: /home/oro/ozeri/libvirt-7.7.0/build/../tests/virsystemdtest.c:570: undefined reference to `virNetSocketGetPort' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

startupPolicy issue when changing CD
by Vojtech Juranek 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

Hi, when adding support for CD disk on block based storage into oVirt, I spotted following issue. When starting VM without CD, we add startupPolicy='optional' attribute into <source> element. Whole XML looks like this: <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' error_policy='report'/> <source startupPolicy='optional'/> <target dev='sdc' bus='sata'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ua-d7003457-63c3-4c98-80f0-08ab5042c65e'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/> </disk> To change/insert CD we use libvirt.updateDeviceFlags() with XML which looks like this (for block based disk): <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <disk device="cdrom" type="block"> <source dev="/rhev/data-center/mnt/blockSD/cdac2a0c-b110-456d-a988-7d588626c871/images/638247d7-b4b1-4d98-87fa-c90235fcf4b1/145e7cd2-f92d-4eec-a8fb-6835b4b652e1" /> <target bus="sata" dev="sdc" /> </disk> However, updateDeviceFlags() fails with libvirt.libvirtError: XML error: 'startupPolicy' is only valid for 'file' type volume What is the reason for this error? We don't use `startupPolicy` attribute for block based disks, as shown on example above. Thanks in advance. Vojta

snapshot creation broken recently?
by Štěpán Němec 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

Hello, until very recently I had been happily creating snapshots of running VMs (created using virt-install) simply with virsh --connect qemu:///system snapshot-create-as <domain-name> <snapshot-name> Now when I try to do that I get the following error: Error creating snapshot: operation failed: Failed to take snapshot: pre-save failed: qxl Same thing trying to create a snapshot from virt-manager (which also used to work). Here's the full backtrace (as displayed in virt-manager): Error: Error while writing VM state: Unknown error -1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details/snapshots.py", line 237, in _do_create_snapshot self.vm.create_snapshot(xml) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/domain.py", line 1124, in create_snapshot self._backend.snapshotCreateXML(xml, flags) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3059, in snapshotCreateXML raise libvirtError('virDomainSnapshotCreateXML() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: operation failed: Failed to take snapshot: pre-save failed: qxl Error: Error while writing VM state: Unknown error -1 I am on Arch Linux (x86_64), using the distro packages. Checking my pacman logs, might update of qemu-headless from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0 have something to do with that? (Since then, libvirt has also been updated from 7.6.0 to 7.7.0, but I see no change WRT the problem described.) I would appreciate any advice on how to further investigate and/or work around the problem. (I checked https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues and didn't find anything that seemed related.) Thanks, Štěpán

one qustion about the snapshot of the libvirt, thanks.
by Guozhonghua 06 Sep '21

06 Sep '21

Hello, When we test snapshot features and review the code of libvirt, there is one question, not an issue. /* do the memory snapshot if necessary */ if (memory) { /* check if migration is possible */ if (!qemuMigrationSrcIsAllowed(driver, vm, false, 0)) goto cleanup; While making one snapshot with memory on one vm, but it is not allowed while the vm which has some src devices, such as pci devs, with which the vm is not allowed to be migrated. I want to known the reason, why should it check this conditions? Thank You!

vm vcpu uses isolated cores
by Jiatong Shen 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

Hello, I am trying to understand why qemu vm CPU threads uses isolated cpus. I have a host which isolates some cpus using isolcpu like isolcpus=1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11. unfortunately, vcpupin does not mask out these cpus (vcpupin is still something like ffffffff). When I log in to the system, seems qemu cpu thread only runs on these isolcpus. I do not quite understand this behavior, because I think by using isolcpu, kernel schedule will exclude these cpus and thus vcpu thread shouldn't use these cores unless taskset explicitly got called.. So my question is how does cpu thread got scheduled on isolated cpus? Thank you. -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen
