[libvirt-users] Running ChromiumOS on libvirt
by Tony Arnold 03 May '18

03 May '18

Has anyone had any success running ChromiumOS as a VM under libvirt and can provide, or point me to, a set of instructions for getting it to work? I've tried and get as far as the white boot screen with the Chromium logo, but the VM just hangs there.

[libvirt-users] Drive-backup functions.
by Matthew Schumacher 01 May '18

01 May '18

List, Two years ago there was discussion on implementing QEMU's block-dirty-bitmap backup solution: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-June/msg00380.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-April/msg00401.html But I haven't seen anything since, and looking through git, it doesn't look like any of these patches were included. Can someone please bring me up to speed on what is up with these patches and what the current thinking is in regards to backing up with libvirt? Currently I'm snapshotting, then syncing the quiesced base image to one I have on alternate media, but it's slow and takes up a lot of space. Thanks, schu

[libvirt-users] Server 2016 locked in paused state
by Paul O'Rorke 01 May '18

01 May '18

Hi all, I have a number of production Windows servers on KVM/DRBD and two of them are Server 2016. Both these guests have started exhibiting the same behaviour where they enter a paused state and will not resume. The behaviour is the same whether I use virsh or virt-manager. My only recourse is to force the guest off and start it again. This brings the host up temporarily where upon it pauses again. It could be minutes or hours but it always returns to being stuck in this paused state. I'm not seeing anything much in /var/log/kern.log or syslog - perhaps I'm missing the clue. Has anyone else seen this and or can you advise me where I should be looking to find the cause of this?

[libvirt-users] LibVirt "make install" after successful compilation
by Azizul Hakim 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

I am having some issue with LibVirt installation from source code. I downloaded the latest code from git, was able to configure and compile it. But when I try to install it using *sudo make installi, *I get the following errors. Making install in po make[1]: Entering directory '~/libvirt/po' make[2]: Entering directory '~/libvirt/po' make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'. make install-data-hook make[3]: Entering directory '~/libvirt/po' make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'af.gmo', needed by 'install-data-hook'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory '~/libvirt/po' Makefile:2027: recipe for target 'install-data-am' failed make[2]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '~/libvirt/po' Makefile:1981: recipe for target 'install-am' failed make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '~/libvirt/po' Makefile:2105: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 As I mentioned, there is no error during compiling the source code. It would be helpful if someone could point me in a direction so I can figure out the problem. Thanks Azizul Hakim

[libvirt-users] qemu crash, qemu_thread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable
by llilulu 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

Hi My qemu is 2.9.0, libvirt is 3.4.0. I start many guest in short time(128G pyhsical memory ,1G per guest, 90 guest), and then run memtest on guest system.memtest just occupy guest memory，so when run memtest, host will allocate memory for guest. I run memtest on all my guest, and some guest will encounter crash. qemu log has qemu_thread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable record，I ask same question before, replier suggest I change qemu.conf max_process arg, but I cat /proc/$pid/limits, I find maxprocess limit is very big, I don't think is the args restrict. I think is when I run memtest on all guest, the host pressure very highly in short time, because when I run memtest on all guest, i encounter some other program core, I use gdb debug the core, I find is dump in allocate memory. so I want known qemu crash is that reason, and how host system acceptable pressure limit. when I encounter qemu crash, what can I do avoid the promble. Thanks

[libvirt-users] Possible to resize a Windows guest's disk while online?
by Andre Goree 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

I'm looking for a way to online resize a Windows disk -- i.e., be able to resize the disk without shutting down, rebooting, or detaching the disk. Is this at all possible? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree? I'm not finding a way to do this and even Amazon has a weird workaround, in which the user must write data to the newly resized-drive in order to recognize the new size without taking the disk or the VM offline.

[libvirt-users] qemu: qemu_thread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable
by llilulu 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Hi: My libvirt is 3.4.0 and qemu is 2.9.0, My host has a big memory(128G), I run many guest on my host(80 guests), when I batch stop and start guests, some guest will crash, the qemu log is "qemu: qemu_thread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable". I search qemu code, I find qemu_thread_create just like pthread_create function. I search on internet, someone say that is a bug of qemu.Because my host run many guest ,so I cann't ensure whether qemu bug or my host load heavy cause my guest crash. Can someone tell me what reason cause the promble? and what can I do avoid the promble? Thanks

[libvirt-users] can't find how to solve "QEMU guest agent is not connected"
by Matt 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

I am trying to make Qemu agent work with libvirt thanks to https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/pull/922 with libvirt 4.1.0. I've been trying to make it work for quite some time but I still haven't the slightest idea of what is wrong, I keep seeing "Guest agent is not responding: QEMU guest agent is not connected" as the program I use (nixops) calls the libvirt python API. I apologize in advance for dropping so many details but in case someone is interested in answering this post, I thought I would provide details upfront. The failure surprises me as typically a socket is created when I start the VM with a priori the correct rights myuser:libvirtd (libvirtd is the default libvirt group on nixos, different from upstream IIRC): /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-10-nixops-3cb2c9c2-41ea/org.qemu.guest_agent.0 My domain contains ``` <channel type='unix'> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> ``` as requested per the doc (I tried with source=bind to no avail, btw the doc for `source` is not that great) my libvirtd.conf has the following setting ``` log_level = 1 # no filter for now log_filters="1:qemu.qemu_agent 1:qemu.qemu_monitor" # log_filters="3:remote 4:event 3:json 3:rpc" log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" ``` `journalctl -b -u libvirtd.service` returns ``` avril 17 12:31:05 jedha libvirtd[22804]: 2018-04-17 03:31:05.482+0000: 22806: error :
