Alvin, Thanks for that. I disabled the xendomains service (I had to do it twice, as it seemed to re-enable itself after the first reboot) and it now starts libvirtd automatically on startup. However, all is not well! "xl list" and "virsh list" will just hang "systemctl stop libvirtd" just hangs and after this "ps aux" lists the process as defunct root 673 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zsl 08:04 0:00 [libvirtd] <defunct> "kill -KILL 673" has no effect "shutdown -r now" also hangs (I have to physically power off the machine) irrespectively of whether I have tried to stop the service before shutdown or not. None of this happened yesterday when I manually started libvirtd after bootup (when xendomains was still running). The logs show nothing in error or warning category, just a heap of info (I have the logs set to level 2). Is there anything in particular that I should be looking for in the logs? Regarding the use of a VM to access the host in a remote location... I had considered this and there was little choice. The machine is on the end of a VDSL line and was installed to consolidate a few servers in that location in order to save power. I figured that automatically starting a VM that ran the networking was not much more risk than a physical server that had to start up its networking, and that has (so far) proven to be true with all of the remote restarts & power outages to date. The only other option is an expensive second link to the host, and I've decided to live with the possibility of having to talk someone through a restart over the phone rather than go down that route. Interestingly, with the NBN in Australia (the country-wide rollout of fibre or broadband to every premises) they have effectively converted all our phone lines to VoIP. This has resulted in the old physical landline now requiring one of the VMs to be running as well, so if I ever need to talk someone through a restart it will need to be on a mobile phone.

[libvirt-users] Xen died - Fedora upgrade from 21 to 26
by G Crowe 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

Hi, I am trying to upgrade my Xen host (Dom0) and are having troubles getting it to work. I think that it has booted into a kernel that supports Xen (running 'xl info' does list some Xen capabilities), but I have three problems (that I have found so far). Firstly, the "libvirtd" daemon doesn't start on bootup (and as a result all 'virsh' commands fail). It is set to auto-start (systemctl enable libvirtd), and can be manually started (systemctl start libvirtd), but it will not auto-start on reboot. Secondly, Once I have manually started libvirtd, when I try to define a domain it gives me an error "could not find capabilities for arch=x86_64 domaintype=xen" and I haven't yet been able to define any domains. This domain type works fine on Fedora 21. Thirdly, I am unable to convert to/from xml config format, it gives me the error "error: invalid argument: unsupported config type xen-xl" however the format "xen-xl" works fine on the Fedora 21 machine. I had these same issues when I tried to upgrade to Fedora 25 and assumed that something had been broken and so abandoned further attempts to upgrade, however since Fedora 26 is the same I am now assuming that I have stuffed something up myself (or missed something). Fedora 21 uses kernel 3.19.3 and xen 4.4.1 Fedora 26 uses kernel 4.11.8 and xen 4.8.1 I have tried following the info on https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Fedora_Host_Installation but it appears to be out of date now (I used this site when I started using Xen under Fedora 19, and when I upgraded to Fedora 21) Does anyone have any suggestions? outputs from "xl info" and the domain config are below. I have also tried disabling SELinux, but it made no difference.

Note that this does not help with the original problem but points out a critical design flaw. To me your it infrastructure design has no working disaster recovery plan. You should always be able to access critical functionality and from there be able to restore complete functionality step by step. In your case the outermost functionality is the vm host. You should always be able to log into that machine once it has all cables plugged in, regardless of what runs on it (or not). This means that even though you might get this to work you should rethink your design so that you do not have to rely on the vm that does the networking.

When I look at the status, it tells me that the service is "enabled" which means that it starts on bootup (well, that's what it means for any other service). This is rather critical on this PC, as it has unattended restarts and the VPN/routing is done in one of the VMs (i.e. I can't get to it unless it auto-starts at least one VM).

libvirt version: 3.4.0 architecture: x86_64 ubuntu16.04-server hypervisor: kvm,qemu When migrate vm, I encounter error: "Migrate VM virt21 failed unsupported configuration: Unable to find security driver for model apparmor" but two host are same environment.before this error, migrate can be success. the source host seclabel configure is this : <seclabel type='dynamic' model='apparmor' relabel='yes'> <label>libvirt-8e4ec209-17ca-4b59-abb7-72f3984244f3</label> <imagelabel>libvirt-8e4ec209-17ca-4b59-abb7-72f3984244f3</imagelabel> </seclabel> I create a vm on the destination host ,the vm configure not seclabel congfigure. I reinstall libvirt on the destination host and migrate same vm, this error disappear.vm seclabel configure is default. I recreate a vm on the destination host ,the vm configure has the seclabel configure , I don't known the reason. Another question: I configure a vm xml's seclabel like this: <seclabel type='none' model='none'/> and then call virDomainCreate create the vm, call virsh dumpxml, the vm xml's seclabel is this: <seclabel type='none' model='none'/> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>+0:+0</label> <imagelabel>+0:+0</imagelabel> </seclabel> I don't the reason. Is a vm seclabel configure dynamic change when it running? Thanks

[libvirt-users] cannot set maxMemory

Hi all, I'm testing the memory hotplugging on devstack (ocata version). According to the article in https://medium.com/@juergen_thomann/memory-hotplug-with-qemu-kvm-and-libvir… , I'm trying to create a virtual machine by setting <maxMemory>. However, I've got an error message in libvirt log as below. 2017-07-20 20:33:21.175+0000: 529: error : virDomainDefCheckUnsupportedMemoryHotplug:1192 : unsupported configuration: memory hotplug tunables <maxMemory> are not supported by this hypervisor driver virt-aa-helper: error: could not parse XML virt-aa-helper: error: could not get VM definition I'm using qemu hypervisor (2.8), and libvirt (2.5.0). As I know, these qemu, libvirt versions support hotplugging memory. Below is the xml file I used to create a virtual machine by using 'virsh create test.xml' command. <domain type='qemu'> <name>QEmu-fedora-i686</name> <uuid>c7a5fdbd-cdaf-9455-926a-d65c16db1809</uuid> <maxMemory slots='4' unit='KiB'>2097152</maxMemory> <memory>219200</memory> <currentMemory>219200</currentMemory> <vcpu>2</vcpu> <cpu> <numa> <cell id="0" cpus="0" memory="2097152" unit="KiB"/> </numa> </cpu> <driver name="qemu" type="qcow2" cache="none"/> <os> <type arch='i686' machine='pc'>hvm</type> <boot dev='cdrom'/> </os> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc</emulator> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <source file='/home/user/boot.iso'/> <target dev='hdc'/> <readonly/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='/home/user/fedora.img'/> <target dev='hda'/> </disk> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> </interface> </devices> </domain> Does anyone know the reason? Thanks, Youngbin
