Can somebody knows how to enable virtio-scsi-data-plane in libvirt for specific domain? I know that i need to replace "-device virtio-scsi-pci" with "-object iothread,id=io1 -device virtio-scsi-pci,iothread=io1" in qemu, but how can i do this in libvirt? -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru

[libvirt-users] How to disable kvm_steal_time feature
by Piotr Rybicki 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi. I would like to workaround a bug, when after live-migration of KVM guest, there is a 100% steal time shown in guest. I've read, that disabling 'kvm_steal_time' feature should workarund this bug, but i can't find a way to disable it in libvirt's domain xml file. Tried in <cpu> section: <feature policy='disable' name='kvm_steal_time'/> but that doesn't work. Also, couldn't find any related information in libvirt documentation. Google helps neither. How can I disable this feature? Thanks in advance. Piotr Rybicki

[libvirt-users] virsh uses internally qemu-img ?
by Lentes, Bernd 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi, i read that virsh uses internally qemu-img (http://serverfault.com/questions/692435/qemu-img-snapshot-on-live-vm) Is that true ? so snapshotting a running vm with virsh or qemu-img is the same ?

[libvirt-users] New vs old API usages
by Shahar Havivi 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Hi, Currently I am using the latest libvirt API listAllDomains() to probe for domains. I may need to fall back to older API for old libvirt server such as: listDefinedDomains() and lookupByName() instead of listAllDomains(). Is there any disadvantage to using listAllDomains instead of listAllDomains or its the same results via different API? Thank you, Shahar.

Hi, Is there anybody who got the usb-redirection working with remote-viewer on Windows? If I install remote-viewer, the option to redirect usb devices is grayed out in the menu. Greetings, Dominique.

[libvirt-users] SOLVED: failed to connect to the hypervisor
by Ken D'Ambrosio 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Ubuntu, for the loss. Turned out to be an apparmor issue; as I hadn't touched the profiles, it must've been something else going on. -Ken ------------------------- original issue ---------------------------- When I try, I get this: root@kilo-VirtualBoxHost:~# virsh -c vbox:///session error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: internal error: nsIEventQueue object is null ---------------------------------- The part that puzzles me is that it *used* to work, but no longer. "virsh -V" shows me running libvirt 1.2.2, with VirtualBox enabled. I'm running stock Ubuntu VirtualBox v. 4.3.10. I've rebooted; I've tried running it as different users. Googling comes up with some five-year-old Solaris patch discussions. My /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log shows stuff like this: 2015-11-25 02:21:39.381+0000: 3893: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1454 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error 2015-11-25 02:26:38.953+0000: 3897: error : vboxInitialize:932 : internal error: nsIEventQueue object is null 2015-11-25 02:26:38.954+0000: 3893: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1454 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

[libvirt-users] esx/vcenter: create a domain inside an folder
by Cyrill von Wattenwyl 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Hello at all Im trying to create a domain inside a folder: Host: foo.tld Datacenter: dc1 Cluster: cluster name1 Host: esx.tld Folder: folder/subfolder (inside Cluster bar.tld) URL: vpx://foo.tld/dc1/cluster%20name1/folder/subfolder/esx.tld I tried nearly every combination since the documentation is not 100% clear about that, but libvirt allways creates the domains inside vpx://foo.tld/dc1/ and not goes "deeper". My questions: - Is it even possible to create domains inside of a folder inside a cluster? If yes, how? - Could the whitespace in cluster name be a problem? - The user im trying to create the vms does not have permissions to view/change things on level datacenter/cluster/main folder. it can only view things in the subfolder. Could this be the issue? Thanks for your time and best regards, Cyrill
