[libvirt-users] What is the best virtual network for my case?
by Pasquale Dir 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

I have an openvswitch switch controlled by a controller. I want to have a group of virtual machines which can be on different nodes but sharing the same ip address thus having the illusion of being on the same network. So, each vm I start gets an ip (I was thinking about something like 192.168.y.x 255.255.0.0 where y would be the node and x the vm, this way each node can have its own dhcp server) which is virtual and belongs to the same network of the others. Throught openvswitch I would take care of the communication between different machines if they belong to different phisical networks. So, what is the best network configuration according to you?

[libvirt-users] bridge / ubuntu / no arp reply
by François Chenais 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Hello I'm trying to setup a bridged guest on an ubuntu 13.10 but it doesn't work. (Everything is ok with NAT) Network sniffing shows that arp replies don't come back to the guest. Test 1 ------ Guest : ping host_bridge_ip (ok) Test 2 ------ Guest: ping other_lan_host (KO) other_lan_host - receives arp who-is request - sends arp reply - arp -a shows the guest macaddr => Guest doesn't receive reply Test 3 ------ other_lan_host ping the Guest (KO) - arp -a shows "incomplete" addr - Guest receives nothing On Host ------- network tcpdump on bridge or vnet interfaces shows request but no reply ... Thanks in advance for help or ideas François

[libvirt-users] POOL of SRIOV networks with multiple PFs
by john fisher 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

We are using an Intel 82599 chip that allows 4 PFs ( eth0..3) per VM. I am able to manually start VMs using the hostdev definition for the four network connections, but I'd like to start using the pool approach. Ubuntu 12.04 libvirt 1.0.0 Following: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Assignment_from_a_pool_of_SRIOV_VFs… I can get a pool working with one network- <network> <name>passthrough_eth0</name> <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> <pf dev='eth0'/> </forward> </network> and I can get the four networks started using similar xml. Using one stanza of network type passthrough, I can get a pool on one PF. But when I try to create the VM using four stanzas of network definition, <interface type='network'> <source network='passthrough_eth0'/> </interface> <interface type='network'> <source network='passthrough_eth1'/> </interface> <interface type='network'> <source network='passthrough_eth2'/> </interface> <interface type='network'> <source network='passthrough_eth3'/> </interface> I get this error: "error: Failed to create domain from ./vm0.xml error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: kvm: -device pci-assign,host=01:10.1,id=hostdev0,configfd=47,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8: Duplicate ID 'hostdev0' for device " Ideas? -- John Fisher

[libvirt-users] VirtFS accessmode
by Lanati, Matteo 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Hi all, I'm trying to share a folder between a host and a guest using VirtFS. The source is NAS mounted on the host and QEMU runs as unprivileged user. The only way for me to use the folder inside the guest is to set the access mode to 'squash' but all file operations are performed by the user running QEMU. If I ran QEMU as root, the passthrough mode works as expected. Is there the possibility to configure the passthrough access also for non-root users?

[libvirt-users] VM Creation Timestamp
by Tony Atkinson 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Hello, Is there any way to query libvirt, ideally through virsh CLI utility or similar, to get a timestamp of when a VM was created. Or to put it another way, a timestamp of when a domain's UUID was allocated. Many thanks, -- Tony Atkinson

Hello, I created lxc container on F19 with virt-manager and it starts OK. The only problem is that sshd does not run complaining "/dev/null is not a character device". # ls -l /dev/null -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2014-02-25 22:39 /dev/null /sys/fs/cgroup/devices/machine/VM_NAME.libvirt-lxc/devices.list has "c 1:3 rwm" line, but I cannot create /dev/null: # mknod /dev/nulll c 1 3 mknod: `/dev/nulll': Operation not permitted Thanks, Nerijus

[libvirt-users] Problems with tls connection when ran with user privileges
by Pasquale Dir 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

I set up my certificates, ca client and server, as described in your documentation: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TLSCreateServerCerts. I followed it step by step so it must be ok. However, when I run virsh -c qemu://192.168.1.2/system and I try a command like list --all I get: error: impossible connect to the hypervisor errore: no valid connection errore: Unable to set x509 CA certificate: /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem: Error while reading file. If I run the same command with root privileges: virsh -c qemu://192.168.1.2/system everything works, anyway I get this warning too: 2014-02-26 13:03:25.035+0000: 10825: info : libvirt version: 1.1.1 2014-02-26 13:03:25.035+0000: 10825: warning : virNetTLSContextCheckCertKeyPurpose:364 : Certificate /etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem purpose does not allow use for with a TLS client I don't know if it is a problem, I need to live migrate machines... Anyway, main problem is that I don't want to run virsh with root privileges. Where the problem is?
