[libvirt-users] reboot problem with libxl
by Alvin Starr 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

If I reboot a single vm through libvirt/libxl the system reboots normally. If I have several vm's reboot at the same time then The systems go into a paused state and do not reboot. I then have to kill them via xl and restart them. -- Alvin Starr || voice: (905)513-7688 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin(a)netvel.net ||

Hi I would like to set the resolution of the video device of my domain. So if I connect with via vnc I see more. That is the part of the .xml file: "... <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> ..." How can I change it? Salutations Aaron

[libvirt-users] problem with libvirt and ovs
by Anna Giannakou 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hello, I have defined an ovs network with libvirt (virsh net-define ovs.xml) and created a vm that will connect to that network with virt-install. Although the vm port appears normally if i do an ovs-vsctl show, when i try to set this port as a mirror port for all the traffic in the bridge, the command is executed normaly, but then i cannot see any traffic on the interface. Could you give me some hints for that? The ovs.xml: <network> <name>ovs-network</name> <forward mode='bridge'/> <bridge name='br-tun'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'/> </network> the virt-install command: virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name snort3 --ram 2048 --disk path=/tmp/snort.qcow2,device=disk,format=qcow2 --graphics vnc --vcpus 2 --hvm --network network=ovs-network --import the ovs command for mirroring ovs-vsctl -- set interface vnet0 type=internal -- --id=@p get port vnet0 -- --id=@m create mirror name=m0 select-all=true output-port=@p -- set bridge br-tun mirrors=@m if i execute the same command with another interface then i see the traffic normally. Thank you Anna

[libvirt-users] libvirt with VirtualBox - possible to specify path to snapshot folder in domain.xml?
by fdytr ytruy 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hi! I'm using libvirt withVirtual Box. I have installed libvirt 0.10.2 and Virtual Box 4.1.Is possible to spesify the pat to the folder I want my differencing image created in in my domain.xml file? When I define my vm (virsh domain.xml) with my domain.xml and use the readonly tag, Virual Box creates a differencing image (default in users Vitual Box VMs folder). I want to specify in my domain.xml file what folder this differencing image should be created in (not the default folder). Is this possible? LL

Sorry, I don't have an immediate test env to try this, maybe you can examine your debug logs to see if you find more meaningful clues log_level = 1 log_outputs="1:file:/var/tmp/libvirtd.log" in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf Restart libvirtd. (And, don't forget to turn it off, once you finish your debugging - it'll fill your disk space pretty quickly, otherwise.) -- /kashyap > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Kashyap Chamarthy" <kchamart(a)redhat.com> > > To: "Anna Giannakou" <anna.giannakou(a)inria.fr> > > Cc: libvirt-users(a)redhat.com > > Sent: Tuesday, 28 October, 2014 5:46:46 PM > > Subject: Re: [libvirt-users] problem with libvirt and ovs bridge > > > > On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 05:32:58PM +0100, Anna Giannakou wrote: > > > Hello, > > > I have created an ovs bridge on which i have attached a port.

[libvirt-users] wrong time in guest logs
by Lentes, Bernd 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hi, i have several vm's running on KVM hosts. Recently i found out that the time in the log-files of the guests (/var/log/libvirt/qemu/xxx.log) is wrong. The time on the guest itself is right, just the time in the log-files is one hour back. Windows and linux vm's are affected. Also on another host the same. Changing the clock offset does not have any influence, still the wrong time in the log file. Any ideas ?

[libvirt-users] Generate (vCPU pinning) from host NUMA configuration doesn't act accordingly
by Allen Qiu 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hi all, It seems no matter how many vCPU I allocated to the VM, the auto-generated vCPU pinning configuration won't cover more than 8 CPUs. Is that normal? Otherwise what should I do? Will vCPU pinning by virsh be more effective? Regards, Allen 2014-10-28 Allen Qiu
