[libvirt-users] What's the precision of the domain cpu stats?
by Zhihua Che 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi, everyone I'm using libvirt and resort to virDomainGetCPUStats for cpu usage by one domain. In my system, Ubuntu-11.10 64bit with 2 cores and Qemu Hyperviser, this function returns something like this: virTypedParameter[0] { field: "cpu_time" type: 4 value.ul 51640610899 } virTypedParameter[1] { field: "cpu_time" type: 4 value.ul 55302820304 } This 51640610899 and 55302820304 kind of conflict the result returned by "cat /proc/stat | grep cpu" cpu 449224 6812 89433 4407261 50327 1 2443 0 13041 0 cpu0 224251 2603 43144 2195672 34682 0 2350 0 6692 0 cpu1 224972 4209 46289 2211589 15644 0 93 0 6349 0 I know the precision of /proc/stat is 1/HZ, so what's the precision of CPU stats returned by virDomainGetCPUStats?

[libvirt-users] A way to determine when a guest domain was launched?
by Amy Skinner 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

I've looked around at the API documents (I'm using python) and I know how to find the cpu active uptime of the domain, but that only increases if the domain is running something. Is there a way to determine when the domain was first launched, either as a date or uptime with idle uptime included? /Amy

[libvirt-users] No way to obtain guest's cpu and mem usage?
by RaSca 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hi everybody, I'm using the PHP API to make a web interface interact with the virtual machines installed on some hypervisor. Everything is fine, but I would like to find a way to get the guest's cpu and mem usage, so that it should be possible to make some rrd graphs. I didn't find out anything and also it seems looking around that there is no way to obtain those data. What is strange for me is that programs like virt-top are showing exactly what I'm looking for. Can anyone help me to find out a way to retrieve those statistics? Another related question: do you think I can obtain the same data by using this: ps aux | egrep "[/]usr/libexec/qemu-kvm.*libvirt.*" | awk '{print $3"/"$4}' on the hypervisor? These are related to the kvm process, and the kvm process IS the virtual machine... Or not? Thanks to everybody, -- RaSca Mia Mamma Usa Linux: Niente è impossibile da capire, se lo spieghi bene! rasca(a)miamammausalinux.org http://www.miamammausalinux.org

[libvirt-users] Libvirtd not starting on reboot
by Shawn Davis 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hello everyone, I have libvirt and qemu/kvm running on ubuntu 11.10 desktop. Everything is working great when it is on. The problem is if I reboot, virsh doesn't see the hypervisor anymore and I can't manually start libvirtd. Libvirtd is currently located in /usr/sbin/libvirtd and I originally started it with sudo ./libvirtd -d from that directory. How do I ensure that libvirtd starts on bootup of the host machine? Thanks, Shawn

[libvirt-users] vol-wipe and delete
by Shawn Davis 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hello all, I know libvirt has the following two commands: vol-wipe vol-delete Can someone please explain to me how these function? Do these only remove previous session data so that a new virtual instance cannot see it or does it remove it at the physical level level too so that the data cannot be found anywhere on the physical drive? I know Eucalyptus and KVM use sparse files upon instance creation and the instance thinks the ephemeral space is all zeroes even though it is just sparse. I appreciate any insight in how the two virsh commands work and if they use zeroes, sparse, or some other method. Thanks, Shawn

[libvirt-users] virsh attach-disk with cache=none and io=native for raw devices (online)
by Frido Roose 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hello, I see there is an option with virsh attach-disk to set the cache to "none" for raw devices, but I can't find how to attach the disk with io=native (needed for performance reasons). The goal is to attach a disk online, directly with the proper performance settings. I know I can set this in virt-manager, but then I have to restart the VM to apply the change, so this is an offline operation. With virsh edit, I guess I also would have to restart the VM... -- Frido Roose Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig)
