libvirtError: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock (held by monitor=remoteDispatchDomainMigratePerform3Params)
by Blake Anderson 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi everyone, I have a question that you may be able to help me with. I had a live block migration of a qemu-kvm guest fail (initiated via nova), in which the guest remained running on the source, but if I try to re-initiate the live migration it returns libvirtError: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock (held by monitor=remoteDispatchDomainMigratePerform3Params). Looking at blockjob --info I see there is a block copy that has been stuck at 23 % for a few hours now. Is it safe to issue a —abort to the blockjob without impacting the vm and will that resolve the lock? Source: libvirt-4.5.0-23.el7_7.5.x86_64 qemu-kvm-ev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.7.1.x86_64 Destination: libvirt-4.5.0-23.el7_7.5.x86_64 qemu-kvm-ev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.7.1.x86_64 Thanks, Blake

Windows guest stalls during reboot
by Benjammin2068 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hey all, Quick question. I have a (RHEL/CentOS v7) Windows 10 Pro (64bit) guest that shutdown just fine (i.e. KVM shows the host as shut down), but when Windows is set to reboot, KVM Manager shows the guest screen as shut down, but KVM Manager shows the guest as still running and the system never reboots. If I do 'virsh list' -- there's no guest running. If I do 'virch start MyWin10Guest' -- that starts the guest back up and things are like they were before. Am I missing a new setting someplace? I can't seem to type in the right thing in Google to help me figure this one out. Thanks a bunch, -Ben

pci device vga added not showing
by Barry Cisna 23 Feb '20

23 Feb '20

Hello All, Trying to get virgl working from linux host to windows guest in virt-manager i have added the host graphics card Matrox G200ew to the hardware settings as a pci device for Windows 10 guest. When i go to spice server settings, and select Opengl checked there are no available pci devices listed in the drop down box select. Am trying to get some 3d working on Windows guest and seems from reading this is almost impossible short of doing gpu passthrough with a second GPU in the host. Am probably missing something. Thank You.

Cannot turn iommu on inside guest
by Mauricio Tavares 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

So I want to turn iommu support on in a guest ( <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.1'>hvm</type>). Per [1] I tried to add to devices either <devices> <iommu model='intel'> <driver intremap='on'/> </iommu> </devices> or just a simpler <devices> <iommu model='intel /'> </devices> However, when I try to boot it, it crashes with the following error message (stolen from /var/log/libvirt/qemu/testkvm.log): 2020-02-11T05:13:27.278707Z qemu-system-x86_64: We need to set caching-mode=on for intel-iommu to enable device assignment with IOMMU protection. 2020-02-11 05:13:27.577+0000: shutting down, reason=crashed that sounds like it wants me to do something like qemu-system-x86_64 [...] -device intel-iommu,intremap=on,caching-mode=on[2] using virsh. But <devices> <iommu model='intel'> <driver intremap='on' caching-mode='on '/> </iommu> </devices> is not only not mentioned in [1] but also fails [root@testbox tests]# virsh edit testkvm error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng Extra element devices in interleave Element domain failed to validate content Failed. Try again? [y,n,i,f,?]: Can anyone show me what I am missing here? [1] https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsIommu [2] https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/VT-d#Command_Line_Example_2

clustered lvm volume activation
by Timm Wunderlich 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

dear all, i have a problem with clustered lvm storage and the "logical" storage driver, perhaps someone has a suggestion. i have a clustered lvm (lvmlockd, not clvm) with 4 hosts running. when i start the storage on a host it activates all volumes in the whole volume group. then i cannot start the storage on other hosts because all volumes are already activated on one host. if i then deactivate all volumes in the started pool i can start the pool on other hosts. but then i have to manually activate the volume if i want to start the domain. it would be great if the logical pool driver would only activate the volume of a domain at domain start and not on pool start. does anybody have a workaround for this or any suggestions for me? do you think i should open an issue on it?

Open Source Hackathon Mentorship Invitation
by Misha Patel 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Hello, My name is Misha Patel and I’m reaching out on behalf of the HackIllinois Outreach team. HackIllinois is a 36-hour collegiate Open Source hackathon that takes place annually at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This year, it will be from February 28th-March 1st, 2020. Our mission is to introduce college students to Open Source, while giving back to the community. We strive to create a collaborative environment in which our attendees can learn from and work with developers to make their own contributions. In past years, we’ve had developers from prominent projects such as npm, Rust, and Apache come to mentor students from our pool of 900+ attendees. We’d love it if you could pass along this message to the Libvirt community or any individuals you believe would be interested. We will provide meals throughout the event and can reimburse for travel and lodging up to a certain amount depending on where in the US people are coming from. More information on mentorship can be found at hackillinois.org/mentor. You can also visit opensource.hackillinois.org to see what kinds of projects were represented at our event last year. We'd be more than happy to discuss this further. Please have any interested individuals contact us at opensource(a)hackillinois.org. Looking forward to hearing back! Best, Misha Patel HackIllinois 2020 Outreach Director misha.patel(a)hackillinois.org

can hotplug vcpus to running Windows 10 guest, but not unplug

Hi, i'm playing a bit around with vcpus. My guest is Windows 10 1903. This is the excerpt from the config: ... <vcpu placement='static' current='2'>4</vcpu> <vcpus> <vcpu id='0' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='no'/> <vcpu id='1' enabled='yes' hotpluggable='yes'/> <vcpu id='2' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/> <vcpu id='3' enabled='no' hotpluggable='yes'/> </vcpus> ... I'm able to hotplug vcpus, but when i want to unplug them i get the following: virsh # setvcpus pathway 3 --live virsh # setvcpus pathway 4 --live virsh # setvcpus pathway 2 --live error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_del': acpi: device unplug request for not supported device type: qemu64-x86_64-cpu Does anyone know why it can't be unplugged ?

Possible to use OVN networking and virtio simultaneously in the same VM?
by Andre Goree 15 Feb '20

15 Feb '20

I wanted to know if it's possible to use OVN networking and virtio simultaneously in the same VM? Or am I wasting my time trying to get it to work? When I try to define a VM and power it on with both types defined, networking fails to work on both. E.g.: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/> <source bridge='foo'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'> </virtualport> <target dev='devfoo'/> </interface> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/> <source bridge='bar'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'> </virtualport> <target dev='devbar'/> </interface> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx/> <source bridge='foo2'/> <model type='virtio'/> <target dev='devfoo2/> </interface> Notice the 'virtio' setting on the third NIC. If I remove that NIC from the xml or if set that NIC as a virtualport on openvswitch like the other two NICs, networking works fine. Am I missing something? Or is this a silly question to even ask?
