[libvirt-users] How to fit with Apparmor when upgrade to new libvirt version?
by Eddie Yen 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hi everyone, this is my first post at this mailing list. I have a question about upgrading libvirt, but also can fit to Apparmor. For example, I already installed KVM + libvirt from apt-get on Ubuntu 14.04. But the libvirt version is 1.2.9, so I want upgrade to 1.3.4 manually. Search the Internet, only few posts show how to edit so that can launch VM with Apparmor enabled. Most of posts says disable Apparmor is good idea, but I don't want to do that. I already done these things: 1. Replace apparmor profiles from examples/apparmor into /etc/apparmor.d 2. Use --with-apparmor and --with-apparmor-profiles to compile. But I still get virt-aa-helper DENIED message when I try to launch VM. Any ideas? Many thanks, Eddie.

[libvirt-users] Odd Virsh Capabilities response
by W Kern 23 May '17

23 May '17

Tried to migrate a few VMs from existing system to an older host that we threw in the rack to facilitate some server reshuffling. Migration complained about lack of capabilities (which I expected its an older server) but when I looked at what I should throw into the xml file I got a core2duo when it should have been at least Penryn or something (Xeon E5345) Of course the VMs work fine with that cpu def so its not a bit deal at the moment, but I am still curious Is it some sort of lookup table bug or is the server BIOS wonky? ----------------------------------------------------------- OS: Up to date U16 Xenial on an HP DL380 server.

[libvirt-users] disabling dnsmasq
by Michael Ströder 22 May '17

22 May '17

HI! I have some virtual networks (not only bridged) in my libvirt 3.3.0 installation and therefore libvirt always starts dnsmasq. But I want to use my own DHCP and DNS servers which are correctly working for this VM infrastructure. How to completely disable dnsmasq in libvirt? Ciao, Michael.

[libvirt-users] <source mode='private'> for PPPoE?
by Michael Ströder 19 May '17

19 May '17

HI! I'm currently reviewing my (functional) setup with one physical ethernet interface eth1 of the host system being connected to a VDSL modem (not router!). A fully virtualized guest acts as router with this source mode: <source dev='eth1' mode='bridge'/> Reading the docs [1] I'm thinking whether mode='private' would be a better choice because the network packets are supposed to be sent exclusively to the VDSL modem and received from there. Any thoughts? Ciao, Michael. [1] https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSDirect

[libvirt-users] Duplicate reboot events
by Innus, Martins 17 May '17

17 May '17

Hi, Running on: $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) And: $ rpm -qa |grep libvirt libvirt-daemon-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-secret-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-client-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-network-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-config-network-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-python-2.0.0-2.el7.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-lxc-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-interface-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 I’m seeing duplicated reboot events when using the python event api. Use is simplified down to the simple test case attached. Running with that results in: $ sudo ./libvirt_events_single.py Reboot: Domain i-06945b37(21) 1494958504.72 Reboot: Domain i-06945b37(21) 1494958504.74 This is reproducible 100% of the time by doing /sbin/reboot from within a VM started with qemu-kvm. Any ideas on whats going on? Let me know if any other information would be useful. Thanks Martins

[libvirt-users] Callback re-registration after libvirtd restart
by Daniel Kučera 17 May '17

17 May '17

Hi all, I'm using libvirt-go and I following code to listen for lifecycle events: func event_listen() { log.Printf("event_listen %s", conf.Libvirt.LocalUrl) hv, err := libvirt.NewConnect(conf.Libvirt.LocalUrl) lifecycleCallback := func(c *libvirt.Connect, d *libvirt.Domain, event *libvirt.DomainEventLifecycle) { event_message(c, d, "lifecycle", event) } _, err = hv.DomainEventLifecycleRegister(nil, lifecycleCallback) if err != nil { log.Printf("unable to register event callback") return } log.Printf("Libvirt event listener started") go func() { for err == nil { err = libvirt.EventRunDefaultImpl() log.Printf("EventRunDefaultImpl err: %+v", err) } time.Sleep(time.Second) event_listen() }() } It works ok until I restart libvirtd (service libvirtd restart). After that, the inner go func waits some time and continues without error. But the callback is not working anymore. My question is, how can I detect hv reconnect (I guess it's happening in background) so I know when to reinitialize callbacks? Thanks. BR Daniel Kucera.

[libvirt-users] Poor network performance
by Sławomir Kapłoński 16 May '17

16 May '17

Hello, I have some problem with poor network performance on libvirt with qemu and openvswitch. I’m using libvirt 1.3.1, qemu 2.5 and openvswitch 2.6.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 currently. My connection diagram looks like below: +---------------------------+ +---------------------------+ | Net namespace | +------------------+ | OVS bridge | | | | | | | | | | VM | | | | | | | +----+---+ +----+-----+ +----+---+ | | +------+tap dev | | veth A +---------+ veth B | | | | +--------+ +----------+ +--------+ | | iperf -s<---------------------------------------------------------------------------+iperf -c | | | | | | | +------------------+ | | | | | | | | +---------------------------+ +---------------------------+ I haven’t got any QoS in tc configured on any interface. When I do this iperf test I have something about 150Mbps only. IMHO it should be something about 20-30 Gbps there. Other strange thing is that if I made more such VMS (each connected in same way, with own OVS bridge and own namespace) bandwidth is lower for each of them and it looks for me that summarize bandwidth is then something about 1Gbps (30 VMs - each got something about 30Mbps in such test). When I removed VM and added „tap dev” as internal port in OVS and made same test, then I had result about 30 Gbps. I have no idea what can be wrong there. Maybe someone of You had such problems earlier? One more thing, on different host with Ubuntu 14.04, OVS 2.0.2, Libvirt 1.3.1 and qemu 2.3 I don’t have this problem. Kernel on both hosts is 4.4.0 (from Ubuntu repo). Pozdrawiam / Best regards Sławek Kapłoński slawek(a)kaplonski.pl
