[libvirt-users] vnet device not appearing
by Liam MacKenzie 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hello I have a virtual server with 3 existing VMs running on it without issue. The host has 4 NICs installed; em1 for the host, em2 and em3 already in use by other VMs. I would like to dedicate em4 to my new VM however when I create the bridge like I did for the others I do not get a vnet3 device show up in the list as shown below. I tried using the GUI and virsh to create the bridge. I ended up with this config: [root@cbcvm network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-em4 DEVICE=em4 HWADDR=d4:ae:52:a1:53:a7 ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=www_br0 [root@cbcvm network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-www_br0 DEVICE=www_br0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Bridge STP=on DELAY=0 [root@cbcvm network-scripts]# virsh iface-list Name State MAC Address -------------------------------------------- em1 active d4:ae:52:a1:53:a4 lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 mon_br0 active d4:ae:52:a1:53:a6 sbs_br0 active d4:ae:52:a1:53:a5 www_br0 active d4:ae:52:a1:53:a7 How to I make the expected vnet3 device become available to my VM? Thanks! [image: Inline image 1] sdds

Hello, I have VM attached to bridge br0. VM can see the network (ping works) when the bridge has ethernet interfaces. But when I create bond or team device and attach it to a bridge instead of eth interface, VM does not ping anymore. Any ideas why? Thanks, Nerijus

[libvirt-users] [netcf] Why netcf can not rename a existing physical interface dynamically by itself?
by Jianwei Hu 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hi All, I have a usage question about netcf. Why netcf can not rename a existing physical interface dynamically by itself? If you have any other method, please share to me, or can we add support for it in netcf? You can see the following steps for details. Version: netcf-0.2.4-1.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 1. Select a existing NIC from host, for example eth1. [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool list --all eth0 eth1 lo [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool dumpxml eth1 <?xml version="1.0"?> <interface type="ethernet" name="eth1"> <start mode="none"/> <mac address="00:1B:21:27:4E:CE"/> <protocol family="ipv4"> <dhcp/> </protocol> </interface> [root@rhel6 ~]# ifconfig eth1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:21:27:4E:CE BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool ifup eth1 Interface eth1 successfully brought up 2. Undefine eth1 from host [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool ifdown eth1 Interface eth1 successfully brought down [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool undefine eth1 eth1 undefined [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool list --all eth0 lo 3. Prepare another xml with same MAC and a new name "jiahu" [root@rhel6 ~]# cat jiahu.xml <interface type="ethernet" name="jiahu"> <start mode="none"/> <mac address="00:1B:21:27:4E:CE"/> <protocol family="ipv4"> <dhcp/> </protocol> </interface> 4. Define the "jiahu", and start it. [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool define jiahu.xml Defined interface jiahu [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool dumpxml jiahu <?xml version="1.0"?> <interface type="ethernet" name="jiahu"> <start mode="none"/> <mac address="00:1B:21:27:4E:CE"/> <protocol family="ipv4"> <dhcp/> </protocol> </interface> [root@rhel6 ~]# ifconfig jiahu jiahu: error fetching interface information: Device not found [root@rhel6 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-jiahu DEVICE=jiahu HWADDR=00:1B:21:27:4E:CE ONBOOT=no BOOTPROTO=dhcp [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool ifup jiahu Interface jiahu bring-up failed! error: failed to execute external program error: Running 'ifup jiahu' failed with exit code 1: Device jiahu does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [root@rhel6 ~]# ll /sys/class/net/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:32 eth0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/net/eth0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:35 eth1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:00.0/net/eth1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:32 lo -> ../../devices/virtual/net/lo lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:32 virbr0 -> ../../devices/virtual/net/virbr0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:32 virbr0-nic -> ../../devices/virtual/net/virbr0-nic 5. Reboot the host OS, the jiahu interface appeared. [root@rhel6 ~]# ifconfig jiahu jiahu Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:21:27:4E:CE BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) BR, Jianwei

[libvirt-users] - defining routing between guests
by Jacek Pielaszkiewicz 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi, On my host I have few lxc containers. Containers are split between let say three virtual networks. My goal is to define custom routing between networks. I can do that using for example iptables. Is it possible to do that only in libvirt (in network/domains/network filters configuration only)? I did some attempts with network filters, but it doesn't work. I have managed to limit only inbound/outbound traffic. I have found some examples that use libvirt hooks, but I would like to avoid that. I will be grateful for help and some examples.

Hi, How i can calculate cpu utilization percentage for host using python libvirt API. Which function can i use for calulating cpu percentage of host and Virtual Machines? 1)Host cpu utilization ==================== I tried getCPUStats() function,it gives the following output.Is there any way to calculate cpu percentage from the following output? Is there any other function availabe for calculating cpu utilization percentage? output:{'kernel': 34870000000L, 'idle': 3522190000000L, 'user': 209930000000L, 'iowait': 132240000000L} import libvirt conn=libvirt.open('qemu+ssh://root@192.168.1.4/system') conn.getCPUStats(-1,0) Thanks and Regards, Deepak S ------------------------- Message sent via Atmail Open - http://atmail.org/

[libvirt-users] sluggish behavior
by Ainsworth, Thomas 20 May '14

20 May '14

Greetings, This is my first stab at this mailing list. Forgive me if I am over/under verbose. We have been running KVM for a while now and love it. Recently I have noticed a weird anomaly that is getting on my nerves. When I clone (GUI or virt-clone from CLI) both* virt-manager* and *virsh* enquiries get extremely sluggish. Using top I cannot see any resource issues. No I/O wait, the load average show noting outside of the normal, nothing taking CPU or Memory. I have notice that in a couple of the instances the libvirtd daemon was stopped. We have more than twenty (20 +) VM's running - they all seem fine. The metal server is a beast of an 820 with 192GB of RAM and 64 CPU's. The load average rarely creeps above 2 or 3. Do not think it is a resource issue. I can write a test file to the filesystem/volume where the images live at over 350MB/s. The sluggishness disappears after a reboot. If I clone a VM ... back again ... Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Tom Ainsworth RHCSA
