[libvirt-users] Questions on using bridge for KVM on ubuntu 13.10
by Peng Yu 11 Mar '14

Hi, I have being try to connect a virtual machine to the outside through a bridge on the host. The following shows that I have a bridge. And I'm able to start a guest. pengy@rigel:~$ brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.c81f66e29049 no em4 br1 8000.c81f66e29045 no bond0 virbr0 8000.000000000000 yes pengy@rigel:/mnt/nfs/pengy/kvm$ virsh create saiph_installed.xml Domain saiph created from saiph_installed.xml pengy@rigel:/mnt/nfs/pengy/kvm$ brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.c81f66e29049 no em4 vnet0 br1 8000.c81f66e29045 no bond0 virbr0 8000.000000000000 yes I assigned the static ip address (given my our network administrator) to the guest. But I am not able to connect anywhere outside from the guest (175.91.244.74). Do you know what might cause the problem? How to connect the outside network from the guest?

So dd running on host belongs to /, but when I set cpu.shares of any VM, it wouldn't apply as I expected, because these processes are exists in different cgroups.

[libvirt-users] "connection refused", but server is listening
by Pasquale Dir 09 Mar '14

09 Mar '14

netstat -lptu gives me tcp6 0 0 [::]:16514 [::]:* LISTEN 1314/libvirtd so the server is correctly listening on interfaces. My /etc/libvirt/libvirtd settings are defaulted. My /etc/default/libvirt-bin has "-d -l" options so server is listening. If I do virsh -c qemu://143.225.229.190/system (that is my ip or an ip belonging to my network) I get "connection refused". How come? And note that if I put my address, 143.225.229.190, as listening address in the libvirtd conf file, I get "this address class is not supported".

Trying to start one of my vms, a centos one at that, but am getting the following message: [root@vmhost ~]# virsh start voip --paused error: Failed to start domain voip error: cannot open file '/var/tmp/FreePBX-5.211.65-3-x86_64-Full-1388073872.iso': No such file or directory [root@vmhost ~]# But, virsh dumpxml voip shows no info onto the .iso <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native'/> <source file='/dev/vmhost_vg0/voip'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> Log file is not particularly helpful: 2014-03-04 22:57:46.121+0000: shutting down 2014-03-05 23:42:18.528+0000: shutting down 2014-03-05 23:47:07.375+0000: shutting down 2014-03-06 00:56:32.908+0000: shutting down 2014-03-06 01:11:32.582+0000: shutting down So, the question is how did this iso got involved in this specific vm? I can start my other vms without them even knowing about this .iso.
