[libvirt-users] set a different default gateway in an isolated network

Hello, I would like to set a specify default gateway for my VMs. However I’m not succeeding Here after is the isolated lan, where I added the statement <route address='10.0.0.0' prefix='8' gateway='10.10.0.7’/> where my aim is to route to the 10.10.0.7 What should I do , to make it works ?

[libvirt-users] route seems to be not affecting the network behavior
by pichon 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hello, I’m trying to set a default gateway on an isolated lan (because one of my VM get access to an other lan). I’m trying to use the option <route > but this doesn’t affect the default route on my VMs. Here is the network xml <network> <name>prd-private-lan</name> <uuid>2222222222222222222222</uuid> <bridge name='virbr3' stp='off' delay='0'/> <mac address='52:54:00:08:1e:d8'/> <domain name=‘pre' /> <dns> <forwarder addr='8.8.4.4'/> <forwarder addr='8.8.8.8'/> </dns> <ip address='10.10.0.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='10.10.0.128' end='10.10.0.254’/> <host mac=‘xxxxxx' name=‘finternet.pret' ip='10.10.0.7'/> </dhcp> </ip> <route address='10.10.0.0' netmask='255.255.255.0' gateway='10.10.0.7'/> </network> And here is what I get on the guest VM connected to the pre-private-lan route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.10.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 ens4 Can someone help me or tell me what to do ? What I’m a bit surprise is the file //var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/prd-private-lan.conf doesn’t contain any clause defining the new gateway. Something like ‘dhcp-option=3,10.10.0.7' strict-order no-resolv server=8.8.4.4 server=8.8.8.8 domain=prd.pipiche.net expand-hosts pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/prd-private-lan.pid except-interface=lo bind-dynamic interface=virbr3 dhcp-option=3 no-resolv dhcp-range=10.10.0.128,10.10.0.254 dhcp-no-override dhcp-lease-max=127 dhcp-hostsfile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/prd-private-lan.hostsfile addn-hosts=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/prd-private-lan.addnhosts Of course I can add an explicit route on the guest - so did I - but for maintenance purposes I would like to avoid and have all configuration in the network XML Thanks in advance Patrick

[libvirt-users] Fwd: Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '16)
by VHPC 16 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 11th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '16) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 19-23, 2016, Frankfurt, Germany. ==================================================================== Date: June 23, 2016 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Lightning talk abstract registration deadline: February 29, 2016 Paper/publishing track abstract registration deadline: March 21, 2016 Paper Submission Deadline: April 25, 2016 Call for Papers Virtualization technologies constitute a key enabling factor for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; I/O Virtualization allows physical NICs/HBAs to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology and IP addressing, provides the fundamental ground on top of which evolved network services can be realized with an unprecedented level of dynamicity and flexibility; the increasingly adopted paradigm of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) promises to extend this flexibility to the control and data planes of network paths. Topics of Interest The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC and the cloud. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Virtualization in supercomputing environments, HPC clusters, cloud HPC and grids - OS-level virtualization including container runtimes (Docker, rkt et al.) - Lightweight compute node operating systems/VMMs - Optimizations of virtual machine monitor platforms, hypervisors - QoS and SLA in hypervisors and network virtualization - Cloud based network and system management for SDN and NFV - Management, deployment and monitoring of virtualized environments - Virtual per job / on-demand clusters and cloud bursting - Performance measurement, modelling and monitoring of virtualized/cloud workloads - Programming models for virtualized environments - Virtualization in data intensive computing and Big Data processing - Cloud reliability, fault-tolerance, high-availability and security - Heterogeneous virtualized environments, virtualized accelerators, GPUs and co-processors - Optimized communication libraries/protocols in the cloud and for HPC in the cloud - Topology management and optimization for distributed virtualized applications - Adaptation of emerging HPC technologies (high performance networks, RDMA, etc..) - I/O and storage virtualization, virtualization aware file systems - Job scheduling/control/policy in virtualized environments - Checkpointing and migration of VM-based large compute jobs - Cloud frameworks and APIs - Energy-efficient / power-aware virtualization The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) aims to bring together researchers and industrial practitioners facing the challenges posed by virtualization in order to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, enabling research to ultimately provide novel solutions for virtualized computing systems of tomorrow. The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections, plus lightning talks that are limited to 5 minutes. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations. Important Dates February 29, 2016 - Lightning talk abstract registration March 21, 2016 - Paper/publishing track abstract registration April 25, 2016 - Full paper submission May 30, 2016 Acceptance notification June 23, 2016 - Workshop Day July 25, 2016 - Camera-ready version due Chair Michael Alexander (chair), TU Wien, Austria Anastassios Nanos (co-chair), NTUA, Greece Balazs Gerofi (co-chair), RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, Japan Program committee Stergios Anastasiadis, University of Ioannina, Greece Costas Bekas, IBM Research, Switzerland Jakob Blomer, CERN Ron Brightwell, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Roberto Canonico, University of Napoli Federico II, Italy Julian Chesterfield, OnApp, UK Stephen Crago, USC ISI, USA Christoffer Dall, Columbia University, USA Patrick Dreher, MIT, USA Robert Futrick, Cycle Computing, USA Robert Gardner, University of Chicago, USA William Gardner, University of Guelph, Canada Wolfgang Gentzsch, UberCloud, USA Kyle Hale, Northwestern University, USA Marcus Hardt, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Krishna Kant, Templte University, USA Romeo Kinzler, IBM, Switzerland Brian Kocoloski, University of Pittsburgh, USA Kornilios Kourtis, IBM Research, Switzerland Nectarios Koziris, National Technical University of Athens, Greece John Lange, University of Pittsburgh, USA Nikos Parlavantzas, IRISA, France Kevin Pendretti, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Che-Rung Roger Lee, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan Giuseppe Lettieri, University of Pisa, Italy Qing Liu, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA Paul Mundt, Adaptant, Germany Amer Qouneh, University of Florida, USA Carlos Reaño, Technical University of Valencia, Spain Seetharami Seelam, IBM Research, USA Josh Simons, VMWare, USA Borja Sotomayor, University of Chicago, USA Dieter Suess, TU Wien, Austria Craig Stewart, Indiana University, USA Anata Tiwari, San Diego Supercomputer Center, USA Kurt Tutschku, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden Amit Vadudevan, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Yasuhiro Watashiba, Osaka University, Japan Nicholas Wright, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA Chao-Tung Yang, Tunghai University, Taiwan Gianluigi Zanetti, CRS4, Italy Paper Submission-Publication Papers submitted to the workshop will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee and external reviewers.

[libvirt-users] virDomainMemoryStats available tags
by Jean-Pierre Ribeauville 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

Hi, By using libvirt-1.2.8-16.el7_1.3.x86_64 , it looks like there are 3 virDomainMemoryStats tags available : VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_SWAP_IN VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_ACTUAL_BALLOON VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_RSS Is there a plan to add the other ones ? Meanwhile , do you know which metrics ovirt uses to display memory column value in the manager GUI ? Thx. J.P. Ribeauville P: +33.(0).1.47.17.20.49 .

If you want to create a completely separate subnet contained within the host, and have all traffic to/from the outside routed via the host's IP stack, define a libvirt network, setup the IP subnet you want for the network, then in the final screen select "Forwarding to physical network", Destination: "Any physical device", Mode: "Routed". Once you've started this network, it will appear in the list of possible connections for a guest's network interfaces. Note that you will need to teach the rest of the network to forward packets for this new subnet to the host's physical ethernet IP (but if you're specifically asking for a routed network, then you likely already know this (either that or I've misunderstood your question) :-) You can see more info about the possible types of networks here: http://www.libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html I've set Reply-To: in this message to libvirt-users(a)redhat.com. It really is a more appropriate place for these questions, as the netcf mailing list deals specifically with the netcf library, which isn't involved in any of the things we're discussing here.

[libvirt-users] virsh, virt-filesystems, guestmount, virt-install not working well with ceph rbd yet?
by Jelle de Jong 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hello everybody, This is a cross post to libvirt-users, libguestfs and ceph-users. I came back from FOSDEM 2016 and this was my 7th year or so and seen the awesome development around visualization going on and want to thank everybody for there contributions. I seen presentations from oVirt, OpenStack and quite a few great Redhat people, just like the last previous years. I personally been supporting Linux-HA (pacemaker) DRBD/iSCSI/KVM platform for years now and last year I started supporting Ceph RBD clusters with KVM hosts. But I keep hitting some “pains” and I been wondering why they have not been solved and how I can best request help around this? Tools that don't seem to fully work with Ceph RBD yet: - virsh snapshot-create --quiesce --disk-only $quest - virt-filesystems ${array_volume[@]} - guestmount --ro ${array_volume[@]} -m $mount /mnt/$name-$disk - virt-install also doesn't have Ceph RBD and I currently use virsh edit to add the RBD storage disks. My request is to get these tools working as well with Ceph RBD and maybe not only integrate oVirt or OpenStack alike systems. I use several types of back-up strategies depending on the size on the data storage use. I am not sure how oVirt and alike create secure encrypted incremental off-site back-ups of large data sets but I use(d) combinations of rdiff-backup, duplicity and full guest dumps with dd, rbd export, xz. Are these issues known and important enough, roadmap, bug reports? Should I start working for Redhat as I don't have the resources myself, but I can help with some money towards a crowed fund or bounty. Maybe my software is outdated? virsh 1.2.9 ceph version 0.80.10 libguestfs-tools 1:1.28.1-1 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u2 My current workarounds for full storage exports: virsh domfsfreeze $quest sleep 2 virsh domblklist $quest rbd snap create --snap snapshot $blkdevice virsh domfsthaw $quest rbd export $blkdevice@snapshot - | xz -1 | ssh -p 222 $user@$server "dd of=/$location/$blkdevice$snapshot-$daystamp.dd.disk.gz" rbd snap rm $blkdevice@snapshot Kind regards, Jelle de Jong irc: #tuxcrafter
