[libvirt-users] C, C++ or Python programming tutorial/manual/guide for libvirt
by Lucas Arbiza 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, I want to develop an application to manage KVM virtual machines. I've been looking for something that helps me to start programming using libvirt in C/C++. The only one documentation I found is in this link: http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html. Neither Google has helped me! That does not look like a good way to start. So, do you know some useful C, C++ or Python tutorial for libvirt? I prefer C or C++. Thanks in advance. __ Lucas Arbiza email: lucas.arbiza(a)gmail.com celular: +55 (55) 9152 7561 skype: lucas.arbiza <http://br.linkedin.com/in/lucasarbiza> <http://www.google.com/profiles/lucas.arbiza>

[libvirt-users] Decent How-To now on the wiki for setting up Transport Layer Security
by Justin Clift 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi all, For anyone that's interested in setting up TLS with libvirt, but hasn't gotten around to it yet, there's a decent guide on the wiki now: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TLSSetup It's user focused (ie SysAdmin's), and has lots of pics explaining concepts, plus shows what needs to be done, and shows how to do it. Please note, it doesn't cover SASL, it's just plain host based TLS. Very much open to feedback on it, if people have suggestions for improvement. Hope that helps. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

[libvirt-users] Unable to autostart storage pool.

[libvirt-users] Installing a VM to a virtio disk
by Brian Roberg 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

When provisioning new VMs, is it possible to enable virtio for the guest's storage at the time of the installation? When I try to do so, the Ubuntu installer says, "No root file system is defined" when it gets to the partitioning step. Here's the disk option I'm giving to virt-install: --disk pool=libvirt-pool,size=4,bus=virtio (I'm also using "--os-variant=ubuntulucid".) I've been able to install a new VM using the IDE storage driver first and then switch to virtio after the installation is complete, but it would simplify the process if it could start with virtio right off the bat. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ("Lucid") host and guest, which provides libvirt 0.7.5 and kernel 2.6.32. I'm about ready to concede defeat and set up a way to automate making the change after the installation, but I thought I'd ask here first. Thanks! -- Brian

[libvirt-users] Libvirt and iptables rule order
by Brian Pitts 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hi, On RHEL 5.5, I set up iptables rules for forwarding ports to some of my virtual machines. For example. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3380 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.2:3389 iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.123.2 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT These worked fine, and I saved them with 'service iptables save'. However, upon rebooting the server the forwarding no longer works. When I inspect the configuration with 'iptables -L', I see that the rules libvirt creates were inserted before the rules from /etc/sysconfig/iptables. Since the rules from libvirt include one that rejects any new connections, the data I want forwarded is dropped. For example, target prot opt in out source destination ACCEPT all -- any virbr1 anywhere 192.168.123.0/24 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- virbr1 any 192.168.123.0/24 anywhere ACCEPT all -- virbr1 virbr1 anywhere anywhere REJECT all -- any virbr1 anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- virbr1 any anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any anywhere 192.168.123.2 tcp dpt:ms-wbt-server state NEW How should I configure iptables so that my rules and libvirt's play nicely? Basically I need my ACCEPTs to end up before libvirt's REJECTs. I looked through the list archives and libvirt documentation but did not see an answer to this question. -- Brian Pitts Systems Administrator | EuPathDB Bioinformatics Resource Center 706-542-1447 | bdp(a)uga.edu | http://eupathdb.org

[libvirt-users] how to Create virtual machine
by Saravanan S 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hi, I am working on a virtualization project that involves setting up virtual appliances to implement the same, which tool is required to 1) create virtual appliances 2) deploy virtual appliances 3) manage virtual appliances/virtual machines Could you please guide me with some pointers or resources to get started with the creation of virtual machines? I am little confused with libvirt with Xen and qemu. how does xen or qemu related with libvirt ? Thank you.
