[libvirt-users] No package 'libvirt' found
by Rudy YAYON 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hi, After successful libvirt compilation on Cygwin, I am trying to run virt-manage which requests LibvirtGLib: $ virt-manager Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 30, in <module> from gi.repository import LibvirtGLib ImportError: cannot import name LibvirtGLib I understand that I need to compile libvirt-glib. The problem is that I get the following error once running ./configure: checking whether C compiler handles -fexceptions... yes checking whether C compiler handles -fasynchronous-unwind-tables... yes checking whether C compiler handles -fipa-pure-const... yes checking whether C compiler handles -Wno-suggest-attribute=pure... yes checking whether C compiler handles -Wno-suggest-attribute=const... yes checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for LIBVIRT... no configure: error: Package requirements (libvirt >= 0.10.2) were not met: No package 'libvirt' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBVIRT_CFLAGS and LIBVIRT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. The only "libraries" I have been able to find are: $ cp /usr/local/bin/cygvirt- cygvirt-0.dll cygvirt-lxc-0.dll cygvirt-qemu-0.dll Copying it to /usr/lib doesn't change anything. Renaming these files from cygvirt* to libvirt* either. Any idea? Cordialement,Rudy YAYON

But looking at the log only netcf-debuginfo is needed. Could you install it and then run the "t a a bt f" again, please? From the current logs I can only guess that there is some network XML mangled and netcf can't read it. When you're power went out, as you said, is it possible you were updating something in the meantime?

[libvirt-users] Channel Device virConnectListAllNodeDevices
by Neel Basu 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Hello, I've added a Channel Device through virt-manager GUI. virsh dumpxml shows the device as. <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/ubuntusaucy.marx'/> <target type='virtio' name='marx'/> <alias name='channel2'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='3'/> </channel> I am expecting virConnectListAllNodeDevices to have the device in its output. But I don't see it there. Is it the right function to call ? virNodeDevicePtr* devices; int dev_count = virConnectListAllNodeDevices(conn, &devices, 0); std::cout << "Devices: " << dev_count << std::endl; for(virNodeDevicePtr* device = devices; device < devices+dev_count; ++device){ std::cout << virNodeDeviceGetName(*device) << std::endl; } returns 66 devices but once I loop through devices I don't get any corresponding name for the channel device. Tried using virConnectListAllNodeDevices(conn, &devices, VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NODE_DEVICES_CAP_VPORTS); returns 0 devices. Thanks.

[libvirt-users] Installation of libvirt on Ubuntu
by WANG Cheng D 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Dear all, I wonder if libvirt can work on Ubuntu. As you know, it is very convenient to install libvirt on Fedora. I can download the libvirt packet from libvirt.org and install it using command ./configure, make and make install. As I am going to install an open source simulation system named openairinterface, Ubuntu is the recommended OS, and I want to install the simulation system in libvirt lxc. (as you may know, there is another lxc user space tool on Ubuntu whose official website is "https://linuxcontainers.org", which I don't want to use). My questions are: 1) Can I install libvirt on Ubuntu with the same installation steps as on Fedora (i.e., manually download the tar.gz packet and install it locally)? I found a link talking about installation libvirt on Ubuntu which installs something like "libvirt-bin" (https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/libvirt.html) I am not sure if libvirt can be installed following this instruction? 2) How can I create the rootfs for a Ubuntu container if libvirt can be installed on Ubuntu? I create the rootfs for Fedora container using: # yum --installroot=/root/fedora16linux container --releasever=19 install -y openssh, bridge-utils". How can I achieve this on Ubuntu? 3) If libvirt can work on Ubuntu, Can a disk file on the host OS be exposed to a Ubuntu container just like on Fedora? With my warmest regards, Cheng Wang

[libvirt-users] virConnectListAllNodeDevices requires number of devices to be known
by Neel Basu 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi, virConnectListAllNodeDevices() takes a virNodeDevicePtr **devices. So I need to create an array of virNodeDevicePtr. For that I need to know size / Number of devices. What is the function for that ? Thank You.

Re: [libvirt-users] no luck with filesystem storage type [solved]
by Boylan, Ross 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I needed one more option to make it work: # mount -t 9p /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /mnt/SASInstaller, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so # mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller The page you referenced also mentions using -oversion=9p2000.L. There is some additional info on the versions at http://landley.net/kdocs/Documentation/filesystems/9p.txt; that page says .L is the default, while http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#Starting_the_Guest_using_libvirt says it's .U. I don't know how to tell which I ended up with. Thanks for the pointer.

What am I missing? Do I need to run something in the VM (running Linux) to make it work? You need to mount it: mount -t 9p /mnt/SASInstaller /mnt/SASInstaller The target 'dir' is not really a directory, it's just a mount tag.

[libvirt-users] no luck with filesystem storage type
by Boylan, Ross 26 Mar '15

I have a directory on the host that I would like to be visible in the guest/domain. Using virt-manager I selected the directory, resulting in this configuration: <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/mnt/SASInstaller'/> <target dir='/mnt/SASInstaller'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> I created the /mnt/SASInstaller manually in the VM. Nothing shows up. What am I missing? Do I need to run something in the VM (running Linux) to make it work? Thanks. Ross Boylan

[libvirt-users] machine='pc-q35-2.1' and sata controller
by Thomas Stein 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Hello. I'm not able to disable the sata controller on a machine='pc-q35-2.1' type VM. Whenever i delete: <controller type='sata' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> it gets added again when i close the editor. The reason i would like to delete the sata controller is this error while trying to migrate the machine: 2015-02-23 19:04:11.181+0000: 1972: error : qemuMonitorJSONCheckError:381 : internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'migrate': State blocked by non-migratable device '0000:00:1f.2/ich9_ahci' Someone has an idea to solve this? thanks and cheers t.
