domblkinfo->allocation is not equals to domstats.1->allocation for disk with <slices> settings
by Zhen Tang 24 Feb '22

Hi, I did some testing about disk with <slice> setting and found that the value of domblkinfo->allocation is not same with domstats.1->allocation for disk with <slices> Env: libvirt-8.0.0-4.el9 qemu-kvm-6.2.0-9.el9 Step: 1. prepare a image # qemu-img create /car/lib/libvirt/images/disk-raw -f raw 100M -o preallocation=full 2. start a guest and attach the disk ➜ ~ cat disk.xml <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native' copy_on_read='off' discard='ignore' detect_zeroes='on'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/disk-raw' index='1'> <slices> <slice type='storage' offset='0' size='104857600'/> </slices> </source> <backingStore/> <target dev='sdb' bus='scsi'/> <iotune> <total_bytes_sec>10000000</total_bytes_sec> <group_name>slice</group_name> </iotune> <alias name='ua-slices'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> 3. Write some data to the slices disk in vm (in vm) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=10M count=1 4. check *domblkinfo* and *domstats* ➜ ~ virsh domstats rhel9.0-1 --block|grep -Ei 'block.1.(allocation|capacity|physical)' *block.1.allocation=0* block.1.capacity=104857600 block.1.physical=104865792 ➜ ~ ➜ ~ virsh domblkinfo rhel9.0-1 sdb|grep -Ei '(allocation|capacity|physical)' Capacity: 104857600 *Allocation: 104865792* Physical: 104857600 Are these 'allocation' values expected to be equal to each other? Thanks, Zhen Tang

random but often VMs' - BUG: soft lockup
by lejeczek 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

Hi guys I see this often(perhaps once a day) on VMs: ... watchdog: BUG: soft -lockup - CPU#1 stuck for xxXXxxs! [swapper/1:0] At the moment I cannot say I see a pattern - perhaps not spotted one yet - and this can happen to any VM between any one of the three hosts, which hosts are CentOS 9 on AMD Ryzen 5600G hardware. VMs are mostly CentOS 8 but a few Ubuntus too. Anybody would know what that might be, is, a symptom of? But most importantly how to dig in to troubleshoot this?(when this happen then such affected VM I can only hard reset) many thanks, L.

Hugepages -- "Memory backend 'pc.ram' not found"
by Charles Polisher 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

Hello, After defining hugepages, as documented at https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#memory-backing , when I start the guest, I get a dialogue box that says: Error starting domain: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2022-02-20T01:10:36.520955Z qemu-system-x86_64: Memory backend 'pc.ram' not found Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 101, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/libvirtobject.py", line 57, in newfn ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/domain.py", line 1329, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1353, in create raise libvirtError('virDomainCreate() failed' After backing out changes, guest starts normally. I searched online for the error message, but found nothing useful. The hypervisor is running libvirtd (libvirt) 7.8.0 and QEMU emulator version 6.1.0, both build from source. I've got plenty of hugepages available. The domain's XML definition is attached. Any ideas where to look next? Thanks, -- Charles Polisher

libvirt-python for alpine linux
by Tom Ammon 20 Feb '22

20 Feb '22

Hi everybody, Is there a libvirt-python package for alpine linux? I'm looking to containerize an app that uses libvirt-python, using alpine linux, but all I found that looked similar to libvirt-python was py-libvirt ( https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.3/main/x86/py-libvirt) and it looks pretty old.

SSH VM from outside, but not from host
by Wolf 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

Hi! 1) I have two network ports on my server. - eno1 has the IP: XX1.XX1.XX1.150 - bridge0 has the IP: XX2.XX2.XX2.100 and has the interface member: port eno2. eno2 is not set up with an IP address. 2) The host runs on IP: XX1.XX1.XX1.150 3) A VM uses the bridge: bridge0, and has the IP: XX2.XX2.XX2.100 I have a problem with this setup: I can ssh the VM on XX2.XX2.XX2.100 from outside, but from the host, XX1.XX1.XX1.150, I can't ssh the VM on XX2.XX2.XX2.100. Have I set up this wrong or is it something I can do to solve this? Thanks! Wolf

Public IP on virtual machine network issue
by Marcin Groszek 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

I have been struggling with this for weeks and I was unable to find an answer on line. Perhaps someone here can help me. Oracle linux 8 running virtualization: hardware node has a public IP address on interface bridge0 and physical eno1 is a member of the bridge0 a virtual OS has interface bridged to lan and source is bridge0, Ip address of virtual OS is also a public from same class as the hardware node. I can route in and out of virtual, I can ping from hardware node to virtual and vice versa, so the routing works as it should, sort of. When I try tracepath or traceroute from outside to virtual I get !H on last hup same result when I try to do the same form hardware node to virtual I get !H Also, when I telnet (TCP) to a specific port on virtual where I have a daemon LISTENING OR NOT I get: No route to host. Same experiment works just fine for ssh port. Firewalld is not running, and I just have very basic iptables rules like allowing external address block to ssh to hardware node and to virtual dropping connections from all other sources This issue presented it self when I attempted to setup a galera node on virtual and ports 4567 is responding but 4568 and 4444 are not, but the daemons are running and I can clearly see lsoft showing "LISTENING" I capture the traffic and the tcp as well as udp are getting to the virtual. Is there a preconfigured netfiltering that I am not aware of? What am I missing? -- Best Regards: Marcin Groszek Business Voip Resource. http://www.voipplus.net

libvirtd daemon missing in LFS
by Sai Kiran Kumar Reddy 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Hi, I am Sai Kiran. I am trying to build libvirt from source on my Linux From Scratch(LFS) system. I have successfully installed libvirt and its dependencies. When I start virt-manager, there is a prompt in GUI saying that "libvirtd service is not installed". I also do not see any libvirtd in my system. I would like to install the libvirtd service(build from source). But I am not able to find the source code for it and also, I am not sure about the build process for the daemon. Could you please help me out here. Thanks in advance for your time and support. -- Regards, Sai Kiran.

qemu+ssh connections to a remote libvirt fail as ssh banner configured
by Yalan Zhang 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Hi there, I have a system configured with ssh login banner like as below: # cat ~/.bashrc ... echo "=================================================================================" echo "====== This machine is occupied by xxx for testing now. If you are about to use it, contact xxx first ======" echo "=================================================================================" It works as expected that whenever someone logs into this system by ssh, he/she will see this warning message. But it seems such settings will impact a virsh client connection with ssh, when I try to connect the libvirt daemon on this system, it will error out : # virsh -c qemu+ssh://${my_host}/system list --all root@${my_host}'s password: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: packet 1027423545 bytes received from server too large, want 33554432 I have searched and found some related explanations[1], and [2] says "The virsh man page doesn't mention ssh, so it sounds like the file /usr/share/doc/libvirt-doc/remote.html shipped with libvirt-doc could use a patch mentioning this." But I can not find anything about this currently on file:///usr/share/doc/libvirt-docs/html/remote.html. Could we have this documented for reference with all the possibilities? Thank you!
