[libvirt-users] Libvirt and openvz?
by Thomas Graves 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I just recently started using openvz and I'm trying to use libvirt/virsh with it. I followed the directions on page: http://libvirt.org/drvopenvz.html But I get an error trying to run define with the example config file: virsh define virt.conf error: Failed to define domain from virt.conf error: unknown OS type exe I'm using libvirt 0.7.2. Does anyone have more example configuration files or other setup instructions? Does Libvirt allow you to specify other resource limits and controls that openvz has - like vzctl set --devnodes device:rw or vzctl set kmemsize? Thanks, Tom

[libvirt-users] location of network xml files
by carlos campderrós 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hello, On Ubuntu 9.04 (libvirt 0.6.1-0ubuntu5.1) I have 2 different network files: root@sauron:~# ls -l `locate default.xml` lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2010-02-13 12:34 /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/default.xml -> ../default.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 373 2010-03-01 00:02 /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml -rw------- 1 root root 319 2010-03-01 00:04 /var/lib/libvirt/network/default.xml Modifications I do on the /etc file are ignored (I'd like to modify the dhcp range and set fixed ips to VM mac addresses). I don't understand why this file is there, as it seems ignored by everything, and why the autostart symlink points to it instead of the /var/lib/libvirt one. Is it reasonable to symlink (or hardlink if possible) one file to the other? Or to remove the /etc file and point the autostart to the /var file? Also, does the autostart do something? because it's pointing to the ignored file. thanks, carlos. -- Si no puedes deslumbrar con tu sabiduría, desconcierta con tus gilipolleces

[libvirt-users] How to find IP address that is in use?
by Neil Aggarwal 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hello: When I try to start a VPS, it tells me the IP address is already in use by another system. How do I find out what guest is using an IP address? Is there a virsh command to list the IP addresses that are in use? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (281)846-8957 FREE trial: cPanel VPS with unmetered bandwidth http://UnmeteredVPS.net/cpanel

[libvirt-users] /dev/pts linking option?
by Jon Masters 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Folks, Does anyone know whether libvirt provides a means for me to guarantee a persistent link for my guest's virtual serial console? I need to have a consistent mapping (for example, a symlink that always points to the correct /dev/pts entry) so I can automate kgdb hookup on boot. Jon.

[libvirt-users] live migration not working correctly
by Daniel Bidwell 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I have two servers running Ubuntu 9.10, with shared disk from ISCSI SAN and OCFS2, identical network configurations, shared ssh keys, and pki keys. My vm will boot from either machine and run correctly. When I attempt to do a live migration with "migrate --live base32 qemu +[ssh/tcp]://vm1/system" it initiates the vm on the other server, but leaves the vm on the current server in the "running" state and the vm on the other server in the "paused" state. It never finishes the migration. I get the same results for doing a migration via ssh as I do with tcp/pki. I have turned up the logging to debug, but don't see anything in the log to indicate an error or any reason for it to not complete. At least not anything obvious. The Ubuntu server software is using kvm/qemu version 84. I have been through the ubuntu and qemu forums/wiki/documentation. Anyone have any suggestions of other things to look for? -- Daniel R.

[libvirt-users] Digium TDM410 passthrought to KVM VM trixbox
by raincatsdogs＠me.com 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hello, my name is Paul. I need to map a PCI device for a virtual machine. The Linux distribution is Ubuntu server 9.10, infrastructure virtualization is "KVM". The virtual machine will install trixbox. To map the PCI card is a "Digium TDM410p. There currently, KVM hosts a virtual machine that runs smoothly without any problems. In fact, this virtual machine is running Openfiler and has direct access to 2 physical disks installed on the server. Creating a new virtual machine can not connect the Digium card, directly to the virtual machine.I tried in 2 ways. 1. Directly editing the XML file for the virtual machine with the parameters indicated in the documentation: ... <devices> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci'> <source> <address bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> <----- this is my personal configuration </ source> </ hostdev> </ devices> ... 2. Adding the PCI card via virt-manager In both cases, the virtual machine will not start. Virt-manager returns this error: "Error starting domain/ monitor socket did not show up./ Connection refused" "Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 493, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 558, in startup self.vm.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 293, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused" Can someone kindly help me? Thanks
