[libvirt-users] Managing eths in vm from HV
by john fisher 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

KVM Ubuntu 12.04 libvirt 1.0 Related to my post of a day ago, but I can't reply to it... I want to control the order ( and therefore the connection) of eth devices in the vm. If I know what the MAC addresses are on my HV, as seen in virsh domiflist or in dumpxml, and I then re-write the /etc/udev/rules/70 file in the VM, I can get the eth devices ordered in a predictable way. Is there a virsh way to create a VM from a generic xml file, allowing libvirt to add randomized MAC addresses, and then edit the /etc/udev/rules/70 file in the VM, to associate the eths with the desired MAC? Better yet, is there a way to simply control the assigning of the eths in the generic xml file used to create the VM? So far I can make a wrapper script to virsh create xml, read the addresses back, and then start the VM independently, write to it, and then return control to virsh. That seems clumsy. Virsh ought to be able to control the eths in the VM without resorting to OS-dependent kludges. -- John Fisher

[libvirt-users] Java API Migration error
by Rustam Singh 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi Guys, I am trying to perform live migration of a qemu+kvm guest using the libvirt java api binding. Unfortunately I keep getting this error Exception in thread "main" org.libvirt.LibvirtException: internal error unable to add domain task 1598 to cgroup: No space left on device the number after "domain task" keeps changing on every run, the problem is migration fails with that error, but it migrates just fine if I try to do it using virsh. I'll be delighted if somebody could help me out. Regards.

hi,all when I try to migrate `vm0` from (192.168.1.102) to another host(192.168.1.200), the name `ubuntu1204` is 192.168.1.200's hostname. command is : `sudo virsh migrate --live vm0 qemu+tcp://192.168.1.200/system` the error is : unable to connect to server at 'ubuntu1204:49157': Connection refused. however,when I try to virsh connect to 192.168.1.200 by tcp is no problem. I dont know what the port 49157?how to fix it? version:libvirt:0.9.8 system:ubuntu1204 thanks in advance for any reply.

Hi, has anyone a running environment with Xen 4.2 and libvirt 1.0.0? I do not get libvirt compiled under the use of Xen 4.2! I always get some errors during compilation of libvirt caused by libxl. But i read some posts that libvirt 1.0.0 should work with Xen 4.2 Cheers, mike

[libvirt-users] NWFilter and IPv6
by Guido Winkelmann 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi, Libvirt's nwfilter ships a number of useful filter scripts by default, but none to handle IPv6 traffic. Is there a particular reason for that, or is that just because nobody has got around to that yet? One interesting thing about dealing with IPv6 traffic is that hosts often have several auto-configured addresses, usually at least one auto-configured link- local address under fe80::/64 and one auto-configured one from router- advertisements. For writing filter rules, it would be nice to have some function/notation to calculate those auto-configured addresses for the user, so we can write something like this: <rule action='return' direction='out' priority='500'> <ipv6 srcipaddr='ipv6_autoconf($IPV6_PREFIX[@1], $IPV6_MASK[@1], $MAC)'/> </rule> <rule action='return' direction='out' priority='500'> <ipv6 srcipaddr='$IPV6'/> </rule> <rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='1000'/> or maybe more like this: <ipv6 mode='autoconf' field='srcipaddr' prefix='$IPV6_PREFIX[@1]' netmask='$IPV6_MASK[@1]' mac='$MAC)'/> Guido

[libvirt-users] Incorrect currentMemory for qemu-1.2+
by Andrey Korolyov 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi, Since this message(https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2012-October/msg00054… qemu folks have released one minor version in the 1.2 branch and shiny new 1.3 some days ago and the problem still persists. At first I has blamed libvirt, but I was not correct at all - since I have released package ``slices'' for myself including both newer libvirth and qemu, I wasn`t able to corner this problem and my report may be counted as completely wrong. Right now, I have the following situation: - all libvirt versions running above qemu-1.1 always reports right balloon and currentMemory sizes - for qemu 1.2 it is quite more funny: as in message above, I receive wrong currentMemory always set to ``magic'' 5398528kB at the 8gb host node, but only if ``memory'' parameter has same or higher value, even <memory unit='KiB'>5348520</memory> works okay, providing righ balloon value for the libvirt. As you can see the ~2700MB offset between current and maximum(or entire host) memory present in both configurations. 8Gb node is a simple non-numa machine so this is not related to numa miscalculation. Previous test at the link above processed on the 64GB two-head node with symmetric numa topology, if it matters. And finally, $ virsh dumpxml vm010-000-000-092 | grep curr <currentMemory unit='KiB'>5398528</currentMemory> $ virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp vm010-000-000-092 info balloon balloon: actual=1176 Until virtio_balloon initializes in the guest, libvirt reporting _right_ value for some seconds after VM start, so bug (which I unable to track by myself) almost for sure presented in parsing of received values from guest balloon.

[libvirt-users] Libvirt migration compatible
by Timon Wang 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi all, I am use libvirt and kvm for migrate a vm from a pc to a Dell pc server, and the cpu feature are not the same, I am wondering if there is any solution to make the migration works smoothly. The PC's cpu feature is less than Dell pc server, so how to make sure the migration work. Another question is I found a post in 2007, said that AMD has make the migration from amd server to intel server by AMD-V Extended Migration and Intel Flex Migration, can I use these tech in libvirt? -- Focus on: Server Vitualization, Network security,Scanner,NodeJS,JAVA,WWW Blog: http://www.nohouse.net

[libvirt-users] Strange behavior of QoS
by Davide Guerri 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi, I'm having some weird problem with the setup of the QoS on a bridged network. As the docs states, outbound/inbound average speed should be expressed in KBps (KBytes per second) but in order to get a maximum speed of 10Mbps (megabits per second) surprising enough I have to use 2560 on the guest (not 1280 as expected). Using 1280 units I get a speed og 5Mbps. I'm aware of peak and burst parameters but even with them I'm seeing the same (long-term) behavior. Here follows my configuration. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Domain definition (relevant part only) virsh # dumpxml mydomain <domain type='kvm' id='45'> [...] <devices> [...] <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:xx:xx:xx'/> <source network='br909'/> <target dev='vnet43'/> <model type='virtio'/> <bandwidth> <inbound average='2560'/> <outbound average='2560'/> </bandwidth> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> [...] </devices> </domain> The network definition: virsh # net-dumpxml br909 <network> <name>br909</name> <uuid>07319380-2025-cdcc-924a-149cd0370b56</uuid> <forward mode='bridge'/> <bridge name='br909' /> </network> And iperf result (client and server are on the same vlan and they are running on the same host) [ 5] local xx.xx.xx.xx port 5001 connected with xx.xx.xx.yy port 18396 [ 5] 0.0-30.1 sec 35.4 MBytes 9.87 Mbits/sec

[libvirt-users] Error using virt-convert
by Chandana De Silva 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

All, I am trying to use virt-convert to convert a KVM/libvirt guest to VMWare ESX 4, and getting an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have created a virt-image image file as shown at http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/virt-image/virt-image-xml.html. See below for the xml file. I am using the following command for the conversion, and am getting the error shown : /usr/bin/virt-convert -i virt-image -o vmx -D vmdk mon03.xml mon03 ERROR Couldn't import file "mon03.xml": Couldn't import file 'mon03.xml': Disk entry for 'mon03' not found The image file itself is readable by all: ls -la /var/lib/libvirt/imageshelf/mon03.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root m4u 8589934592 Dec 3 09:25 /var/lib/libvirt/imageshelf/mon03.img ls -la mon03.xml -rw-rw-r-- 1 chandana chandana 657 Dec 5 09:08 mon03.xml <image> <name>mon03</name> <domain> <boot type="hvm"> <guest> <arch>i686</arch> </guest> <os> <loader dev="cdrom"/> </os> <drive disk="mon03" target="hda"/> </boot> <devices> <vcpu>2</vcpu> <memory>262144</memory> <interface/> <graphics/> </devices> <storage> <disk id="mon03" file="/var/lib/libvirt/imageshelf/mon03.img" use="system" size="8388608" format="raw"/> </storage> </domain> </image>
