[libvirt-users] ERROR: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'ubuntu'

Hi guys, I am new to QEMU-KVM, libvmi and libvirt stuff. Libvmi uses libvirt. I am trying to to run process-list example of libvmi and getting error as below. It seems that this error may be due to libvirt as it is not able to find domain. I seek your kind help on below error: spanhal1@seclab2:~/KVMModule/libvmi-0.10.1$ sudo ./examples/process-list ubuntu libvir: QEMU error : Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'ubuntu' VMI_ERROR: Failed to get domain id from name. Failed to init LibVMI library.1 Here are few details of step I performed: 1. I have installed KVM module. (version 3.5) 2. Installed QEMU-KVM. (version 1.2.0) 3. Installed libvirt(version 0.1.2.5) 4. Installed libvirt-bin(version 0.9.8-2ubuntu17.19) 5. Installed libvmi. (version 0.10.1) 6. Then I am trying to run process-list example and I am getting error as above. sudo ./examples/process-list ubuntu To deal with this, I tried creating VM with domain name ubuntu using steps given at below link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/CreateGuests http://virt-tools.org/learning/install-with-command-line/ Create VM: $sudo apt-get install virtinst $sudo fallocate -l 8192M /var/lib/libvirt/images/guest.img $sudo qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/guest.qcow2 8192 spanhal1@seclab2:~/KVMModule$ sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n ubuntu -r 512 -f guest.qcow2 -s 12 -c /home/spanhal1/KVMModule/ubuntu-12.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --accelerate --network=network:default ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options Here are few workaround and information for this error: 1. spanhal1@seclab2:~/KVMModule$ modprobe kvm spanhal1@seclab2:~/KVMModule$ lsmod | grep kvm kvm_intel 137888 0 kvm 422160 1 kvm_intel 2. spanhal1@seclab2:~/KVMModule$ kvm-ok INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used Check if virutalization is enabled by BIOS: spanhal1@seclab2:/var/log/libvirt$ sudo modprobe msr spanhal1@seclab2:/var/log/libvirt$ sudo rdmsr 0x3a 5 (Values 3 and 5 mean it's activated).

[libvirt-users] /etc/machine-id
by Gene Czarcinski 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

I was under the impression that the value of /etc/machine-id was unqiue for every OS installation on a system. This seems to be the case on real hardware. That is, if I install Fedora 19, Fedora 20, and Fedora-rawhide on a system, they will each have a different value for /etc/machine-id. This does not seem to be the case for qemy-kvm-libvirt virtual systems. SOmetimes they are different but I just noticed that a virtual system with both Fedora 20 and Fedora rawhide installed (btrfs partitioning), the two installations have the same value in /etc/machine-id. The two installs have different ext4 partitions for /boot, different subvols for the respective rootfs and the same/shared subvol for /home. Comment? Bug? Gene

[libvirt-users] Managed USB passthrough
by Michael Han 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

Does the "managed" attribute of the hostdev element for a USB device make a difference? The Domain XML Format docs has the following sentence for the hostdev element: If managed is omitted or "no", and for USB devices, the user is responsible to call virNodeDeviceDettach (or virsh nodedev-dettach) before starting the guest or hot-plugging the device, and virNodeDeviceReAttach (or virsh nodedev-reattach) after hot-unplug or stopping the guest. Is that still accurate? The device seems to get passed through fine to my LXC container without any dettach/reattach calls. But I'm seeing some other strange USB behaviour in the guest and just want to see if it's at all related to the managed attribute. Cheers.

[libvirt-users] Access permissions of passed through character devices
by Pickartz, Simon 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Dear all, I am using libvirt in conjunction with LXC. In accordance with http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDevCaps I pass an InfiniBand adapter through to the guest container. However, within the container the access permissions are not the same. Within the host they are like this: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 56 20. Jun 09:40 rdma_cm crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 231, 224 20. Jun 09:41 ucm0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 231, 0 20. Jun 09:41 umad0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 231, 1 20. Jun 09:41 umad1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 231, 192 20. Jun 09:41 uverbs0 Within the guest, only root may read or write from/to the device: crw------- 1 root root 10, 56 20. Jun 09:40 rdma_cm crw------- 1 root root 231, 224 20. Jun 09:41 ucm0 crw------- 1 root root 231, 0 20. Jun 09:41 umad0 crw------- 1 root root 231, 1 20. Jun 09:41 umad1 crw------- 1 root root 231, 192 20. Jun 09:41 uverbs0 Do you have any ideas how I can tell lxc via libvirt to change the permissions in such a way that they correspond to those on the host system? Best regards, Simon

[libvirt-users] converted VMDK disk iamge and Virtio driver
by Paul Raines 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

I have a CentOS 5 VM in vmware I wanted to move to work on KVM/libvirt. I used qemu-img to convert it to a qcow2 image, loaded virt-manager and created a new VM pointed at that qcow2 image. The boot paniced when it tried to mount the root filesystem also complaining about not being able to remount the swap partition. I played around and was able to get it to boot by changing the Virtual disk bus to IDE from Virtio. Searched about Virtio and I got to http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio and ran the mkinitrd mentioned to force loading of the virtio_pci and virtio_blk drivers. But upon shutting down, configuring the bus back to Virtio and booting it panics in the exact same way. I tried again after adding virtio_blk into /etc/modprobe.conf as scsi_hostadapter and rerunning mkinitrd but it still fails. Any clues what I am missing? --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines http://help.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.

[libvirt-users] dumpxml removes <source> portion from network descritiption
by Thomas Stein 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hello. I have a strange error with one of my VMs. If i use dumpxml to save a VM description the source part of the network part is missing. This prevents redifining the machine from the dumped xml file: This is how it looks before dumpxml: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:34:a1:56'/> <source bridge='br406'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> And afterwards: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:34:a1:56'/> <target dev='vnet6'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> Someone has an idea whats causing this? Is there a special option maybe? thanks and best regards t.

[libvirt-users] Use keepalive to monitor health of qemu-kvm process
by Abhijeet Rastogi 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi everyone, I've had instances where qemu-kvm process dies and become a zombie. At that state, libvirtd reports the instance to be running and I can't restart the VM because libvirtd fails to kill the qemu-kvm process. Finding the root cause of that is a topic for another day. I also see this line in logs: Jun 15 13:36:57 d12566 libvirtd: 10424: warning : virKeepAliveTimerInternal:156 : No response from client 0x1600420 after 5 keepalive messages in 31 seconds Is it possible to monitor the keepAlive thing via command-line ? (as a nagios check). I know that I can poll for that line in the logs but is there a better way? I couldn't find any option in virsh to do a KeepAlive check. Thanks -- Cheers, Abhijeet Rastogi (shadyabhi)

[libvirt-users] Libvirt 1.2.5/Qemu woes
by andy zerger 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hi all - I'm dealing with a libvirt 1.2.5 and Qemu-1.7.1 also Qemu-2.0 (all source compile,) which somehow isn't seeing any hypervisors when connected to via virt-manager. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong but cannot figure out what. My basic config and current state here in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m5M8PfFC Thanks for any input, this has been baffling. Best Regards, Andy
