[libvirt-users] delete lvm problem: exited with non-zero status 5 and signal 0
by lingjiao.lc 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

hi, I use the libvirt-python to manage my virtual machine. When I delete a volume use vol.delete(0), sometimes it note me that has occur the error: libvirtError: internal error '/sbin/lvremove -f /dev/vg.vmms/lvm-v097222.sqa.cm4' exited with non-zero status 5 and signal 0: Can't remove open logical volume "lvm-v097222.sqa.cm4". then I go to the host and run the command: " sudo lvchange -a n /dev/vg.vmms/lvm-v097222.sqa.cm4" and then the volume could delete use vol.delete(0). But it's not often occur, just once in nearly 8. I know the delete function virStorageBackendLogicalDeleteVol as this: { { const char *cmdargv[] = { LVREMOVE, "-f",vol->target.path, NULL }; virCheckFlags(0, -1); virFileWaitForDevices(); if (virRun(cmdargv, NULL) < 0) return -1; return 0; } Could I change it like this: ? if (virRun(cmdargv, NULL) < 0) const char *changeCmdarg[] = { LVCHANGE, "-a", "n", vol->target.path, NULL }; if(virRun(changeCmdarg, NULL) < 0) return -1; else if(virRun(cmdargv,NULL) < 0) return -1; ________________________________ This email (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.

[libvirt-users] live migration without shared storage problems.
by Luengffy XUE 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hi, all I migrate a vm from source host to the destination host. I am sure every part is ok for migration. 1 Create the image in the destination and change the user and group. 2 Open TCP socket in the destination host. and I migrate in the source host command line. $ virsh migrate --live --copy-storage-all vmubuntu qemu+ssh://destinationHost/system --verbose But I get the error "error: operation failed : failed to retrieve chardev info inqemu with 'info chardev'" In the destination I find in the vmubuntu.log The error is "Migration failed. Exit code tcp:0.0.0.0:49170(-98),exiting." What can I do to solve it ? I do not understand how the error comes. Anyone can help me ? Thanks in advance.

[libvirt-users] Start of libvirtd fails with error "undefined symbol: __virAlloc"
by Langenbach, Steffen 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hello List like described in the topic I have a problem with starting the libvirtd. I'm a complete newbie with libvirtd, today I heard the first time that such a daemon exists after I get the message that our webserver isn't running (a former colleague has installed this system). We have the following configuration: A Ubuntu based host on which our webserver runs within a qemu virtual machine. The following happens: Yesterday the host restarted (at the moment we don't know the reason) and since this restart libvirtd did not start up. How I found that out: When I try to start the virtual machine with "virsh start z-web" I get the error: "Connecting to uri: qemu:///session libvir: Remote error : unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor" As explained, I'm a total Newbie with libvirtd. So as far as I know, the libvirt-sock is generated by libvirtd when it's running. I don't know the right way how to start libvirtd. I tried it by just typing "libvirtd", but that generates this error: "libvirtd: symbol lookup error: libvirtd: undefined symbol: __virAlloc". I can't find any log-entry that gives me more information about this error. Does anybody can help me with this problem? In which logfiles does libvirtd normaly writes such errormessages? Or what can the problem be? If you need more information about the configuration or something else, I can find that out, if you tell me where ;) Thanks alot for your help!

[libvirt-users] how to setup libvirt with java bindings for use
by Dan Hirsch 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hi, I would like to use libvirt to manipulate virtual machines of different types (KVM, ESXi etc.) I added dependencies to my project the libvirt and jna jars. trying to execute your example code I am getting a run time exception saying the library cann't be found. it an actual libvirt c library is also required, and needs to be compiled separately? can you please write down all needed steps for using libvirt with java binding? thanks in advance.

Nothing in that XML jumped out as suspicious to me. And from the sound of your managedsave-remote not making a difference, my guess of a corrupt managed save image getting in the way is a red herring. I'm not sure what to suggest trying next.

Unfortunately I can't offer much advice on why it happens, but increasing log verbosity may help troubleshoot it. These are the relevant lines I use in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf log_level = 2 log_filters="2:remote 2:event" log_outputs="2:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" Be careful with level 1 alerts...I generated a 100GB text log in 3 days.

[libvirt-users] renaming a domain
by Roberto Attias (rattias) 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hello, In my system a VM with a given domain name is defined and started. At a certain point I will define and start a new VM, with a different name. I then want to dispose of the old VM and rename the new one to the old one. Unfortunately I didn't find any API to do the last step. Is it possible to change the domain name of a running VM? Thanks, Roberto
