Hi, I try to login via the libvirt.openauth() API with qemu+tcp protocol and prompt for password, I am setting the username, password and the callback methdod with the following keys: auth = [[libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME, libvirt.VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE], request_cred, None] When I call openauth() method: conn = libvirt.openAuth('qemu+ssh://...', auth, 0) I am getting prompt for entriyng password. When using qemu+tcp it works fine. Thank you, Shahar.

[libvirt-users] libvirt-lxc capabilities mknod
by jsl6uy js16uy 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Hello all, hope all is well Issue: Any way to give granular mknod capabilities to a container? Only allow creation of specific device? bit of background Have a laptop running arch and libvirt loading an arch lxc container created from lxc-create Overall container is up and running, I use it for vpn connections Initially it would not setup of the tun device. Previously using just the lxc tool set, I can edit the lxc.conf config file for the container and allow device creation of just the tun device. In libvirt I can add capabilities for mknod, but seems to be blanket for any device creation within the container? Is this correct? Thanks and Regards

[libvirt-users] Facing problems while connecting virsh to XenServer 6.5 to import VMs to RHEV / oVirt
by Anantha Raghava 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Hi, I am trying to import couple of important Virtual Machines from XenServer 6.5 (from downloaded from xenserver.org) into RHEV / oVirt environment. When I used the RHEV / oVirt Import Wizard, I was facing the issues. In order to check further, I attempted to use virsh -c ssh://root@<xenhost> command to connect and check but received the same set of errors as in RHEV / oVirt Wizard. I am able to connect to xen server 6.5 using ssh command without password and even "sudo -u vdsm ssh root@<xenhost>" also works without any issues. To dig further I, on xen server, disabled the firewall and set SELinux to disabled and I am finding that libvirt is unable to connect to hypervisor. I have attached the libvirt client logs for your reference. Can someone help me to debug this and import the VMs from Xen Server 6.5 to RHEV / oVirt? We cannot recreate these Virtual Machines as these are critical ones and rebuilding will be a herculean task. Thanks in advance. -- Thanks & Regards, Anantha Raghava Do not print this e-mail unless required. Save Paper & trees.

[libvirt-users] Python API does not return all information available
by David Ashley 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

All - The Python virDomain method info() does not return all the entries contained in the C struct virNodeInfo. While this is somewhat documented the entries that are returned are unlabeled and the documentation does not specify which VirNodeInfo entries they correspond to. Does anyone have more information they can pass on? Thanks, Davis Ashley

[libvirt-users] Guest Agent and API Relationship
by David Ashley 13 Aug '16

13 Aug '16

All - I have looked everywhere I can think of (except the C code) to see if I can find the relationship of an API to the guest agent. What I want to know is whether or not a given API has a dependency on the guest agent being available. I know that some of the APIs now have such a dependency but there does not seem to be an indicator in the documentation for when this is the case. Nor is there any comprehensive list of APIs that have a dependency on the guest agent. Any help would be useful. Thanks, W. David Ashley

[libvirt-users] Attaching disks with external snapshots
by Erlon Cruz 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hi folks, I'm trying to to attach a disk to an instance using libvirt. The problem is, this disk has external snapshots. The process tried was: 1 - Attach a disk in the domain: * virsh# attach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk.xml[1] --live* 2 - Snapshot the disk[2]: * virsh# snapshot-create instance-00000006 --quiesce --xmlfile /tmp/snap-from-disk.xml[2] --disk-only* 3 - Dump the domain XML and create a new disk file from it: *virsh# dumpxml instance-00000006* * ... [3]* 4 - Dettach the device and re-add it using the new disk file: * virsh# detach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml[4]* * Device detached successfully* * virsh# attach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml * * error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml* * error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Property 'virtio-blk-device.drive' can't find value 'drive-virtio-disk1'* Question, is this operation supported? If yes, how is the correct procedure?

[libvirt-users] QEMU IMG vs Libvirt block commit
by Erlon Cruz 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hi folks, I'm having a issue in the standard NFS driver on OpenStack, that uses qemu-img and libvirt to create snapshots of volumes. It uses qemu-img in the Controller to manage the snapshots when the volume is not attached (offline) or calls the Compute (which calls libvirt) to manage snapshots if the volume is attached (online). When I try to create/delete snapshots from a snapshot chain. There are 3 situations: 1 - I create/delete the snapshots in Cinder (it uses qemu-img). It goes OK! I can delete and I can create snapshots. 2 - I create/delete the snapshots, in online mode (it uses libvirt). It goes Ok, as weel. 3 - I create the snapshots in Cinder (offline) and delete then in online mode (using libvirt), then it fails with this message[1]: libvirtError: invalid argument: could not find image 'volume-13cb83a2-880f-40e8-b60e-7e805eed76f9.d024731c-bdc3-4943-91c0-215a93ee2cf4' in chain for '/opt/stack/data/nova/mnt/a3b4c6ddd9bf82edd4f726872be58d05/volume-13cb83a2-880f-40e8-b60e-7e805eed76f9' But, in this folder, there the backing files are there[2] and they are chained as think it suppose to be[3]. The version for the 2 hosts in tests are: Controller/Cinder node: qemu-img version 2.0.0 && libvirt 1.2.2-0ubuntu13 Compute node: qemu-img version 2.5.0 && libvirt-1.3.1-1ubuntu10 Is there any compatibility problem between libvirt and qemu-img snapshots? Have you guys found any problem like that?

[libvirt-users] Go bindings to LibVirt
by Sergey Bronnikov 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hi, everyone for a small project I need a Go bindings to LibVirt library. There is a page on the official site with a list of bindings to different languages [1], but it is lack of Go bindings. Does it mean there are no official bindings for that language? [1] https://libvirt.org/bindings.html Sergey
