[libvirt-users] Copy the UUID into the image file
by Ahmad Kamil Abdul Hamid 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi, Is it possible to copy the UUID defined in the XML domain file into the image file? For example, the UUID defined in ubuntu.xml can appear, say, under /proc/ directory of the ubuntu virtual machine? Thanks. Kamil.

[libvirt-users] network configuration for ipv6 setup
by Martin Jürgens 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi, I am currently using IPv4 with the following network configuration which has worked fine for some months now: <network> <name>net0</name> <uuid>fa0c1c69-da82-1bef-fcb2-4c336bbexxxx</uuid> <forward dev='eth0' mode='route'/> <bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' forwardDelay='0' /> <ip address='78.47.xx.xx' netmask='255.255.255.xxx'> </ip> </network> The company hosting my server is now providing /64-IPv6-subnets to its customers - thus I'd like to take advantage of this and supply my guests with IPv6-subnets. Is it possible to do this without changing much of my setup (i.e. just changing some configuration files?)? I am using libvirt 0.6.3. Thanks, Martin

[libvirt-users] Clock Sources under RHEL/Centos 5.x with KVM and libvirt
by Steven Ellis 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

I'm wondering under what circumstances the kvm-clock source is exposed to a guest. I've got a bunch of KVM servers running Centos 5.5 and some of the guests have are defaulting to jiffies or apic whilst some are picking up kvm-clock. These guests are a mix of 32bit and 64bit Centos 5.5. Looking at the virtual machine definition file there doesn't appear to be a difference between the guests with kvm-clock and those without. Any where else to look, or what configuration will expose kvm-clock to a guest. Steve -- Steven Ellis - Bulletin.Net Inc - http://www.bulletin.net

[libvirt-users] Unable to change guest vnc port in libvirt
by mmv＠eholod.ru 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Hi all! I set in XML <graphics type='vnc' port='5901'/> But Libvirt assign first free port from 5900 and take 5900. Anb block access to host console vnc (tightvnc-server-module). Console access need not frequently. I do # service libvirt-guests stop;killall Xorg; service libvirt-guests start But it dirty hack Im use Fedora 13 # env LANG=en_US virsh version Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.2 Using library: libvir 0.8.2 Using API: QEMU 0.8.2 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.5 I prefer possiblity to define for libvirt different base port for |autoport|. 5910 for example. Somebody know solution?

[libvirt-users] Question on CPU pinning in Python
by Stanley, Jon [Tech] 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

Looking at the python API, once I have a domain object I can call domain.pinVcpu to pin a specific vcpu to a physical CPU. I found http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg04562.html which mentioned some changes to the C API in the Python implementation, and was wondering if my understanding is correct. Say that I have a host system with 16 logical CPU's, 0-15. If I wanted to pin vcpu1 of a domain to CPUs 2 and 4, I would pass: domain.pinVcpu(1, (False, False, True, False, True, False....[and so on til I have 16 things])) In other words, pinVcpu accepts as arguments the vCPU that I wish to act on, and a 16 (or however many CPU's are present on the host) item tuple of True/False values, in the same order as the CPU's I wish to mask (for example, item 0 of the tuple represents CPU0), True meaning that the vCPU thread is allowed to run there, and False meaning that it is not. Just looking to confirm that my understanding of this call is correct. Thanks! -Jon
