[libvirt-users] Possible to resize a Windows guest's disk while online?
by Andre Goree 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

I'm looking for a way to online resize a Windows disk -- i.e., be able to resize the disk without shutting down, rebooting, or detaching the disk. Is this at all possible? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree? I'm not finding a way to do this and even Amazon has a weird workaround, in which the user must write data to the newly resized-drive in order to recognize the new size without taking the disk or the VM offline.

[libvirt-users] qemu: qemu_thread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable
by llilulu 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Hi: My libvirt is 3.4.0 and qemu is 2.9.0, My host has a big memory(128G), I run many guest on my host(80 guests), when I batch stop and start guests, some guest will crash, the qemu log is "qemu: qemu_thread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable". I search qemu code, I find qemu_thread_create just like pthread_create function. I search on internet, someone say that is a bug of qemu.Because my host run many guest ,so I cann't ensure whether qemu bug or my host load heavy cause my guest crash. Can someone tell me what reason cause the promble? and what can I do avoid the promble? Thanks

[libvirt-users] can't find how to solve "QEMU guest agent is not connected"
by Matt 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

I am trying to make Qemu agent work with libvirt thanks to https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/pull/922 with libvirt 4.1.0. I've been trying to make it work for quite some time but I still haven't the slightest idea of what is wrong, I keep seeing "Guest agent is not responding: QEMU guest agent is not connected" as the program I use (nixops) calls the libvirt python API. I apologize in advance for dropping so many details but in case someone is interested in answering this post, I thought I would provide details upfront. The failure surprises me as typically a socket is created when I start the VM with a priori the correct rights myuser:libvirtd (libvirtd is the default libvirt group on nixos, different from upstream IIRC): /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-10-nixops-3cb2c9c2-41ea/org.qemu.guest_agent.0 My domain contains ``` <channel type='unix'> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> ``` as requested per the doc (I tried with source=bind to no avail, btw the doc for `source` is not that great) my libvirtd.conf has the following setting ``` log_level = 1 # no filter for now log_filters="1:qemu.qemu_agent 1:qemu.qemu_monitor" # log_filters="3:remote 4:event 3:json 3:rpc" log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" ``` `journalctl -b -u libvirtd.service` returns ``` avril 17 12:31:05 jedha libvirtd[22804]: 2018-04-17 03:31:05.482+0000: 22806: error :

[libvirt-users] How allocate ip for guest in xml file
by llilulu 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

Hi: I encounter a promble when I use libvirt manager my virtual machine. I use dhcp allocate IP for my guest, but use dhcp manager IP source, I will ensure guest run NetworkManager auto start NIC in dhcp type get IP. But some release system no install NetworkManager, or some installed system no install NetworkManager, so when I manager those guest, I cann't allocate IP for guest via dhcp server. I want know has other way allocate ip for guest in guest xml file when create the guest, I search "libvirt domain xml format", I find use blow xml configuration in <interface/> <ip address='192.168.122.5' prefix='24'/> But I add this in my guest xml file, virsh create guest will report an error: "error: unsupported configuration: Invalid attempt to set network interface guest-side IP route and/or address info, not supported by QEMU" I want to know if I use dhcp allocate IP for guest, has some way auto start guest dhclinet when guest start(because NIC can hotplug, I cann't write NIC configure file for it). or I want configure IP for guest in guest xml file,How cant I do? my libvirt version is 3.4.0, qemu is 2.9.0. I compile libvirt and qemu myself, when compile its run ./configure script without specific args. If I want qemu or libvirt support configure IP in guest xml file, how I compile libvirt and qemu? Thanks.

[libvirt-users] Online Disk Resize with Windows Server 2016
by Andre Goree 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

I'm having an issue when resizing a disk (a Ceph RBD disk, though the type of disk shouldn't matter, I'd think) attached to a Windows Server 2016 guest. After I resize the disk, the newly-created disk space is _not_ recognized by the server. Even after running Action > Rescan from the Disk Management app, the new disk space does not show. However, when I perform the same resize on a Windows Server 2012 or even a Sever 2008 system, the Action > Rescan works fine and the newly-created disk space is recognized without needed to detach the drive or reboot the VM. Does anyone have an idea of what may have changed in Windows 2k16 that might be causing this? Possibly some undocumented registry change or something? -- Andre Goree -=-=-=-=-=- Email - andre at drenet.net Website - http://blog.drenet.net PGP key - http://www.drenet.net/pubkey.html -=-=-=-=-=-

[libvirt-users] kvm-vnc question
by 李卓瑶 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

hi: very glad writing to you,even though i don't confirm can hear from you. And my english is poor ,so.. I'm a developer on kvm from china, and i meet a question that "virsh define geneic.xml" in arm platform failded with unsupported configuration: PCI controller at index 1(0x01) has bus='0x01',but index must be larger than bus Because i add the vnc info in generic.xml. If i delete it ,virsh define would be ok. The issue only happened in arm platform. And nothing error in x86 platform. I think may be something error happened in pci.Right? I have tryed much ,but work out nothing.Could you give me a head! ----------------------- Have a good day

[libvirt-users] Disable guest discovery in virt-manager
by Gionatan Danti 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hi all, on CentOS7 / RHEL7 launching virt-manager causes a "discovery process" of the various configured VMs. This discovery is executed by inspection and overlayed disk files and it create a very short lived guest-xxxzzzyyy virtual machine. The end result is a pretty icon to the left of the virtual machine entry (ie: CentOS icon for a CentOS VM) and the list of installad packages inside the virtual disk. That said, I would like to disable such behavior. How can I do that? Thanks. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it email: g.danti(a)assyoma.it - info(a)assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8

Hi: I use libvirt manage virtual guest, When I start many virtual domain(my host 128G physical memory）, example, I start 100 guest, 1G per guest。sometime I will encounter "cannot allocate memory", "cannot set up guest memory \'pc.ram\'： cannot allocate memory". sometime encounter qemu process killed by system(oom), I want to know what minimal memory need when start a domain ? and how many host free memory reserve can ensure vm running steady. Thanks
