[libvirt-users] KVM bridge wonkiness in Fedora19
by Lonni J Friedman 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Greetings, I'm attempting to get several virtual machines setup on a Fedora19 host system, with the traditional bridge network devices (br0, br1, etc). I've done this many times before with older versions of Fedora (16, 14, etc), and it just works. However, for reasons that I cannot figure out, the bridge doesn't seem to be working in Fedora19. While I can successfully connect to the outside world (local network + internet) from inside a VM, nothing can communicate with the VM from outside (local network). I'm referring to something as trivial as pinging. From inside the VM, I can ping anything successfully (0% packet loss). However, from outside the VM (on the host, or any other system on the same network), I see 100% packet loss when pinging the IP address of the VM. My first question is simply, does anyone else have this working successfully in F19? And if so, what steps did you need to follow? I'm not using NetworkManager at all, its all the network service. There are no firewalls involved anywhere (iptables & firewall services are currently disabled). Here's the current host configuration: # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.38eaa792efe5 no em2 vnet1 br1 8000.38eaa792efe6 no em3 br2 8000.38eaa792efe7 no em4 vnet0 virbr0 8000.525400db3ebf yes virbr0-nic # more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em2 TYPE=Ethernet BRIDGE="br0" NAME=em2 DEVICE="em2" UUID=aeaa839e-c89c-4d6e-9daa-79b6a1b919bd ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=38:EA:A7:92:EF:E5 NM_CONTROLLED="no" # more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 TYPE=Bridge NM_CONTROLLED="no" BOOTPROTO=dhcp NAME=br0 DEVICE="br0" ONBOOT=yes # ifconfig em2 ;ifconfig br0 em2: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::3aea:a7ff:fe92:efe5 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 38:ea:a7:92:ef:e5 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 100093 bytes 52354831 (49.9 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 25321 bytes 15791341 (15.0 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device memory 0xf7d00000-f7e00000 br0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.31.99.226 netmask 255.255.252.0 broadcast 10.31.99.255 inet6 fe80::3aea:a7ff:fe92:efe5 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 38:ea:a7:92:ef:e5 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet) RX packets 19619 bytes 1963328 (1.8 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 11 bytes 1074 (1.0 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 Relevant section from /etc/libvirt/qemu/foo.xml (one of the VMs with this problem): <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:26:22:9d'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> I can provide additional information, if requested. thanks!

[libvirt-users] Hyper-V driver API version support
by surface＠me.is-a-linux-user.org 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hello The "version" function is not supported by the hyperv driver: $ virsh --connect=hyperv://hypervhost version Compiled against library: libvirt 1.1.1 Using library: libvirt 1.1.1 Using API: Hyper-V 1.1.1 error: failed to get the hypervisor version error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectGetVersion But we need this funtion for the "external/libvirt" stonith plugin of clusterglue: $ cat /usr/lib/stonith/plugins/libvirt | more # get status of stonith device (*NOT* of the domain). # If we can retrieve some info from the hypervisor # the stonith device is OK. libvirt_status() { out=$($VIRSH -c $hypervisor_uri version 2>&1) if [ $? -eq 0 ] then out=`echo "$out" | tail -1` ha_log.sh notice "$hypervisor_uri: $out" return 0 fi ha_log.sh err "Failed to get status for $hypervisor_uri" ha_log.sh err "$out" return 1 } So, we can't implement libvirt stonith with hyperv support in our corosync/pacemaker cluster. Is it possible to implement the "version" function for hyperv into virConnectGetVersion? Or exist any workaround for this problem? Regards Rocco

[libvirt-users] direct local access to Xen without libvirtd
by Jungnam Lee 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Hi all. I'm just new to libvirt. Looking page here http://libvirt.org/drvxen.html , there are examples of connection URIs to Xen. xen:/// (local access, direct) xen+unix:/// (local access, via daemon) xen://example.com/ (remote access, TLS/x509) xen+tcp://example.com/ (remote access, SASl/Kerberos) xen+ssh://root@example.com/ (remote access, SSH tunnelled) I thought the first example 'xen:///' would not need libvirtd, because the second line said 'via daemon'. But my C code using URI above prompts 'Failed to connect socket' error. So it seems that running libvirtd is mandatory. Is this right? Thanks for your reply in advance. Regards, Jungnam Lee

Hi Gao feng, I noticed one of your patch which adds cpuset cgroup support for lxc have been merged in libvirt 1.0.4. But I can't find any virsh command to set cpusettune for lxc container. Is there anyone? And how can I configure cpusettune for lxc container lively? Thanks ------------------ Best regards! GuanQiang

hi all, i am new to the libvirt. Via libvirt i am converting my xen.com.sfg. In xen i added xsm label as, seclabel:system_u:domU_t. but after creating vm using xen or by convertdom-to-xml also does not contain any label or text with xen-4.2.1. in the documentation also you mentioned selinux label (sVirt) only. Can u clear me the following things: 1. How to use XSM label in libvirt.? 2. What are the procedures(syntax and tags) to use for xsm label in xml file.? Regards, cooldharma06

[libvirt-users] Getting nwfilter to work on Debian Wheezy
by Sven Schwedas 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Hi, I'm trying to configure nwfilter for KVM, but so far I haven't managed to figure out a working configuration. Network setup: The dom0 (Debian 7.1, kernel 3.2.46-1, libvirt 0.9.12) is connected via eth0, part of the external subnet 192.168.17.0/24, and has an additional subnet 192.168.128.160/28 routed to its main address 192.168.17.125. The host's subnet is configured as bridge in virsh: > <network> > <name>foo</name> > <forward dev='eth0' mode='route'> > <interface dev='eth0'/> > </forward> > <bridge name='foo-br0' stp='off' delay='0' /> > <ip address='192.168.128.161' netmask='255.255.255.240'> > </ip> > </network> The domU is configured to use this bridge (static IP configured in DomU): > <interface type='network'> > <source network='foo'/> > <target dev='vnet0'/> > <model type='virtio'/> > <filterref filter='test-eth0'> > <parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='none'/> > <parameter name='IP' value='192.168.128.162'/> > </filterref> > <alias name='net0'/> > <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> > </interface> With an empty filter, connectivity is working fine. Now, if I add the example ruleset suggested in the documentation ( http://libvirt.org/formatnwfilter.html#nwfwriteexample ), *incoming* ICMP works (but not outgoing), and inbound SSH traffic is blocked, together with outbound DNS. The linked rules produce the following iptables chains: > Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) > target prot opt source destination > libvirt-host-in all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 > ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53 > ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:53 > ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:67 > ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:67 > > Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) > target prot opt source destination > libvirt-in all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 > libvirt-out all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 > libvirt-in-post all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 > ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.128.160/28 > ACCEPT all -- 192.168.128.160/28 0.0.0.0/0 > ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 > REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable > REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable > > Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) > target prot opt source destination > > Chain FI-vnet0 (1 references) > target prot opt source destination > RETURN tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp spt:22 state ESTABLISHED ctdir ORIGINAL > RETURN tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp spt:80 state ESTABLISHED ctdir ORIGINAL > RETURN icmp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW,ESTABLISHED ctdir REPLY > RETURN udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53 state NEW,ESTABLISHED ctdir REPLY > DROP all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 > > Chain FO-vnet0 (1 references) > target prot opt source destination > ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:22 state NEW,ESTABLISHED ctdir REPLY > ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:80 state NEW,ESTABLISHED ctdir REPLY > ACCEPT icmp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state ESTABLISHED ctdir ORIGINAL > ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp spt:53 state ESTABLISHED ctdir ORIGINAL > DROP all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 > > Chain HI-vnet0 (1 references) > target prot opt source destination > RETURN tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp spt:22 state ESTABLISHED ctdir ORIGINAL > RETURN tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp spt:80 state ESTABLISHED ctdir ORIGINAL > RETURN icmp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW,ESTABLISHED ctdir REPLY > RETURN udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53 state NEW,ESTABLISHED ctdir REPLY > DROP all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 > > Chain libvirt-host-in (1 references) > target prot opt source destination > HI-vnet0 all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0 > > Chain libvirt-in (1 references) > target prot opt source destination > FI-vnet0 all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0 > > Chain libvirt-in-post (1 references) > target prot opt source destination > ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vnet0 > > Chain libvirt-out (1 references) > target prot opt source destination > FO-vnet0 all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 [goto] PHYSDEV match --physdev-out vnet0 I've tried fidgeting with the configuration (direction inout instead of in/out, etc.), but I didn't find a setup that works as intended.

[libvirt-users] Please remove pm-utils dep from libvirt-clients
by Richard Hughes 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

Hi, I'm going to be retiring pm-utils from Fedora soon; it's completely dead upstream and it not needed anymore by upower or anything else. Nothing other than libvirt-clients depends on it, so when I tried to remove this from rawhide I noticed this commit: commit 7069f75cb8dad58715f723fd542e4ff69dbff51b Author: Daniel Veillard <veillard(a)redhat.com> Date: Thu Dec 8 17:03:16 2011 +0800 update to libvirt-0.9.8 added: +# Needed for probing the power management features of the host. +Requires: pm-utils Is this true? You really don't want to be parsing pm-is-supported, it often doesn't work and isn't used by anything else any more. Would it be possible to port away from pm-is-supported if you're actually using it, and drop the dep for F20 please? Any questions please CC me as I'm not subscribed. Thanks, Richard

[libvirt-users] Installing libvirt
by Peeyush Gupta 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

Hi, I am trying to install new libvirt version on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Now I downloaded libvirt 1.0.5 from libvirt.org/sources then I issued three commands: ./autogen.sh make make install This installs the libvirt on my system. But there are some issues, I have to run libvirtd explicitly everytime I reboot my system. And whenever I try to run virt-manager from terminal, it says "No D-Bus daemon running". But when I do "sudo virt-manager", it runs fine. Any idea what am I doing wrong? Thanks. ~Peeyush Gupta
