I don't see your service being called. Anyway, look at libvirt-guests.service file. Looks like the following lines cause systemd to wait for a command to finish: [Service] EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests # Hack just call traditional service until we factor # out the code ExecStart=@libexecdir@/libvirt-guests.sh start ExecStop=@libexecdir@/libvirt-guests.sh stop Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes StandardOutput=journal+console TimeoutStopSec=0 > > > > On Wed, Jan 10, 2018 at 8:46 PM, Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> > wrote: > >> On 01/05/2018 12:00 PM, Raman Gupta wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I have CentOS 7, two node system which allows live VM migration between >>> them.

[libvirt-users] Whether libvirt can support all backing chain layer are iscsi network disk type
by Meina Li 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Hi, For backing chain that all images are iscsi network disk type , such as iscsi://ip/iqn../0(base image) <-iscsi://ip/iqn../1(active image). Currently, 'qemu-img info --backing-chain' command can display correct backing file info, but after starting guest with the active image in backing chain, it don't include the related <backingStore> element in dumpxml. So, Whether libvirt can support all backing chain layer are iscsi network disk type?

[libvirt-users] Proxmox to libvirt conversion?
by Andre Goree 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello all. I'm wondering if anyone on this list has come across the need to convert a Proxmox VM to a libvirt VM. Given that they use the same underlying technology (qemu/KVM), I'm pretty sure it's possible and just a matter of hashing out the differences in configuration (i.e. creating the necessary libvirt xml for the Proxmox disk), but figured I'd ask here first in case anyone has dealt with this (probably will find and ask on the Proxmox mailing list as well). Thanks in advance! -- Andre Goree -=-=-=-=-=- Email - andre at drenet.net Website - http://blog.drenet.net PGP key - http://www.drenet.net/pubkey.html -=-=-=-=-=-

[libvirt-users] VM migration upon shutdown in centos 7
by Raman Gupta 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hi, I have CentOS 7, two node system which allows live VM migration between them. Live migration triggered from virsh is happily happening. I am using GlusterFS for replicating VM disk files. Now I want to automatically do the live migration at the time of reboot/shutdown/halt of the host node and for this I have written a systemd service unit [vPreShutdownHook.service] and placed the live migration command in a migrate script which is invoked from this service unit. The migrate script is invoked but migration does not happen. If someone has some idea please help me to migrate VM upon shutdown. ######## vPreShutdownHook.service ############### [Unit] Description=vPreShutdownHook Requires=network.target Requires=libvirtd.service Requires=dbus.service Requires=glusterd.service Requires=glusterfsd.service DefaultDependencies=no Before=shutdown.target reboot.target [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=true ExecStart=/bin/true ExecStop=/root/vm_migrate.sh [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ########## Command to migrate ############ /usr/bin/virsh migrate --verbose --p2p --tunneled --live --compressed --comp-methods "mt" --comp-mt-level 5 --comp-mt-threads 5 --comp-mt-dthreads 5 MY_VM qemu+ssh://root@$node2/system Thanks,

[libvirt-users] All VMs permanently 'paused'
by Mark Coolen 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

I set up Alpine Linux as a libvirt-based KVM hypervisor last week. Everything was working beautifully on Friday. I left two Windows VMs up and running and two 'Saved' on Friday afternoon. When I go in this morning the two running ones were 'Paused' and I can't unpause them with virt-manager or with virsh. The other two saved ones I can start, but they are immediately paused too. When I click to unpause in virt- manager nothing happens. When I 'resume' in virsh I get 'Domain ... resumed' but it's immediately paused again. I looked in /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log and qemu/<DOMAIN>.log and there doesn't seem to be anything happening. No errors or anything. As I say. Everything was working fine on Friday afternoon. Does anyone know what I should try next? I'll attach my logs and the XML of one of my machines. _ _ _ ___ _ )\/,) ___ __ )L, )) __ __ )) __ _ _ ((`(( ((_( (| ((\ ((__((_)((_)(( (('((\(

[libvirt-users] virsh and bash scripts
by Hetz Ben Hamo 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Hi, I'm looking for a way to use virsh to connect to vCenter/VCSA and do some simple management of the VM's in case of power loss (I'm planning to run the script upon UPS/apcd event of power failure). Looking through the virsh documentation, I didn't find 2 things: 1. Login through a script (I don't see any user/password, specially since VCSA for example requires to use username(a)vsphere.local [or your AD domain insteadd of vsphere.local if you connected it to your AD domain]) 2. Get all the VMs running on the vCenter, not just specific hosts. Any suggestion? Thanks

[libvirt-users] Using Intel Quick-Sync with GPU capable Intel CPUs
by Benjammin2068 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Rogue S.T asked about checking out graphics cards which brought the question to me... Is it possible to make Intel on-CPU GPU resources to Windows 10? (the box I'm working with has Xeon E5-2640v4 CPUs which should be QuickSync capable) What else do I have to do to take advantage of this? Just load the drivers? Thanks, -Ben
