[libvirt-users] Virtualbox support - documentation
by Brian Candler 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

At http://libvirt.org/drvvbox.html it says: "The libvirt VirtualBox driver can manage any VirtualBox version from version 2.2 onwards" However it looks like 4.2 is yet implemented. Perhaps the page could be updated? Thanks, Brian Candler. P.S. I see work is ongoing in this area: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg00038.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-November/msg00575.html

[libvirt-users] unable to ping from guests in virbr0 to guests in virbr1 network
by mallapadi niranjan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi all, I have 3 guests (2-RHEL4 and 1 RHEL6) and have some issues regarding networking between them. The 2 RHEL4 system's use default bridge virbr0 and get ip's of range 192.168.122.0/24 (192.168.122.207, 192.168.122.167) I created another bridge (virbr1) with NAT forwarding (no dhcp). The network i choose was 192.168.100.0/24. And the third system (RHEL6) was assigned static ip-addres 192.168.100.101, >From the RHEL6 system which uses virbr1 is able to ping systems in 192.168.122.0/24 series , but guest systems in 192.168.122.0/24 are not able to ping RHEL6 system (in virbr1) network. >From the RHEL4 guests i am able to ping the gateway ip's (192.168.122.1, 192.168.100.1) , but not the RHEL6 system Versions: Fedora release 16 (Verne) libvirt-0.9.6.3-1.fc16.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.15.1-8.fc16.x86_64 Any hints on what could be the problem Regards Niranjan

[libvirt-users] how to make the volume's format to qcow2 when creating volume
by zhijun liu 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

hi,all the following are files of pool and volume. storage pool is based on logical(LVM) and iscsi,now I create volume specified the format to "qcow2" *pool.xml* <pool type='logical'> <name>pool_190</name> <source> <device path='/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.0.190:3260-iscsi-iqn.2012-11.com.cloudking:server.target1-lun-1'/> </source> <target> <path>/dev/pool_190</path> </target> </pool> *volume.xml* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <volume> <name>volume1</name> <capacity unit="GB">1</capacity> <target> <format type="qcow2" /> </target> </volume> *the problmes is :when the volume created successfully,However, the volume's format is 'raw'* like this image: /dev/pool_190/volume1 *file format: raw* virtual size: 1.0G (1073741824 bytes) disk size: 0 how to resolve this troublesome. libvirt :0.9.8 os:ubuntu12.04 many thanks for any reply....

Then the start off point will be CentOS' srpms. You might still need to do some patchwork and testing before you get a working rpm (a reason why there's no third party repo for latest kvm and libvirt).

[libvirt-users] Handling connection closes in (older) Sys::Virt
by Henrik Ahlgren 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

I hope this is the correct mailing list for discussing the Sys::Virt Perl module. It appears that the most recent version has a new method called register_close_callback that, I believe, can be used to catch errors when the connection to libvirt is closed, e.g. due to libvirt restart or a network related issue. (I've been testing this simply by killing the the SSH process in the libvirt server.) However, Debian still ships libvirt 0.9.12 in stable backports and testing, as probably do many other mainstream distributions. The latest Perl bindings that can be installed from CPAN is thus 0.9.12 and it does not have support for close callbacks. Not only that, when a Perl program loses the (ssh) connection to libvirt, Perl just crashes: Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe. 0x00007ffff73de0d0 in __write_nocancel () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 Setting a $SIG{PIPE} handler does not seem to help. Is there any possibility of a Perl program surviving and gracefully handling a closed libvirt connection with libvirt version 0.9.12 or older? Henrik
