[libvirt-users] Error while adding volume through virsh
by varun bhatnagar 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Hi, I was trying to add volume...I got one xml snippet and I modified it according to my node configuration: < volume> <name>testNode/cluster.vmdk </name> <allocation>0 </allocation> <capacity unit='G'>2<capacity> </volume> Now when I executed "virsh vol-create datastore1 /local/new_volume.xml" one error message came saying: "Error: Failed to create volume from /local/new_volume.xml" Error: internal error: Creation of raw volumes is not supported" Can anyone tell me what is going wrong here? Regards, Varun

Hi, I have couple of RHEV hosts (ovpxen,RHV2, RHV10 etc) and i'm trying to connect from one of the client machine (C1). All the RHEV host have libvirt modified by vdsm. It looks like the below ## beginning of configuration section by vdsm-4.10.2 listen_addr="0.0.0.0" unix_sock_group="kvm" unix_sock_rw_perms="0770" auth_unix_rw="sasl" host_uuid="036118ab-705f-4aeb-9a13-013dc8af6b41" keepalive_interval=-1 log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirtd.log" log_filters="3:virobject 3:virfile 2:virnetlink 3:cgroup 3:event 3:json 1:libvirt 1:util 1:qemu" ca_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem" cert_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem" key_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem" ## end of configuration section by vdsm-4.10.2 # ls bkp-2013-08-16_110734_cacert.pem cacert.pem vdsmcert.pem bkp-2013-08-16_110734_vdsmcert.pem engine_web_ca.pem [root@ovpxen certs]# pwd /etc/pki/vdsm/certs [root@ovpxen certs]# certtool -i --infile engine_web_ca.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 09 Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Wed Jan 23 13:24:14 UTC 2013 Not After: Sun Jan 22 07:54:14 UTC 2023 Subject: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 1024): certtool -i --infile cacert.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 09 Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Wed Jan 23 13:24:14 UTC 2013 Not After: Sun Jan 22 07:54:14 UTC 2023 Subject: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 1024): [root@ovpxen certs]# certtool -i --infile vdsmcert.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 0c Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Thu Aug 15 11:09:22 UTC 2013 Not After: Wed Aug 15 05:39:22 UTC 2018 Subject: O=HP,CN=16.184.46.53 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 2048): Now from the client C1 which cert should i place in /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem so that i can access from the client using the URI qemu+tls://ovpxen.ind.hp.com/system. Please note the host IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com is ovirt managed host. It is not the client. My problem here is i can't change the hypervisor hosts as there are too many of them and it is configured by vdsm . What certs should i take from host so that i can use it in the client so that i can connect to multiple hosts from the client using virsh or virt-manager . I need tls as remote protocol as i'm trying to automate commands. Regards, Navin

[libvirt-users] Libvirt Sandbox mini-website
by Daniel P. Berrange 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

While we've been working on it for a little while, we've never really had any content on libvirt.org focusing on the libvirt sandbox toolkit. To address this content gap, I've started a small website to provide useful info around their design, technology & usage. http://sandbox.libvirt.org/ Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

[libvirt-users] Modify Iptables Rules (virbr0 & virbr1)
by Jorge Fábregas 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Hi, I have some guests running in the "default" network (virbr0) and I've also created a similar (NAT) network (virbr1). Therefore, the FORWARD chain for the CentOS 6.4 host looks like this: http://fpaste.org/29229/75281379/ ...where line 3-7 are related to virbr0 and 8-12 to virbr1. My 2 questions: 1) I've noticed that I can ping from a guest within virbr0 to any guest on the virbr1 network. However, I can't do the same from virbr1 (ping guests on virbr0). This is because of "line 6" on the pastebin, where the traffic is REJECTED. I originally thought that If I create multiple NAT networks (just like the default virbr0) they would be able to talk to each other (the host doing the actual forwarding) but as you can see, based on the iptables rules that libvirt injects, this only happens for the first network. That is, the first network can reach all other networks (just because it happens to be the first one defined). Is this the intention (only default can talk to the others but not the other way around)? 2) I would like both networks to talk to each other. If I remove line #6 I can make virbr1 guests talk to virbr0 guests. What is the correct way to handle this? I obviously don't want to perform "iptables -D FORWARD line-number..." every time I start libvirt. (I really like to leave the networks as they are, NAT, dhcp running etc). Thanks! Jorge

[libvirt-users] vnc ip binding problem
by Jungnam Lee 12 Aug '13

Hi, all. I tested some operations with libvirt 1.1 on Xen 4.3 Creating vm seems okay, but I cannot connect to its vnc console. So, I checked its bining. [root@dev-2 ~]# netstat -antp|grep 5900 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5900 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 10508/qemu-system-i I tried several times, but it always binds 127.0.0.1 only. here's my xml. <domain type='xen' id='3'> <name>fv0</name> <uuid>4dea22b31d52d8f32516782e98ab3fa0</uuid> <os> <type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type> <loader>/usr/local/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader</loader> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <memory>524288</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <features> <pae/> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <clock sync="localtime"/> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm</emulator> <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='cibr2'/> <mac address='00:16:3e:5d:c7:9e'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'/> <script path='vif-openvswitch'/> </interface> <disk type='file'> <driver name="tap2" type="vhd"/> <source file='/var/cloudit/cache/centOS-6.4-x86_64_130711.vhd'/> <target dev='xvda' bus='xen'/> </disk> <graphics type='vnc' port='5900'> <listen type='address' address='172.31.0.104'/> </graphics> </devices> </domain> I tried both 0.0.0.0 and my public ip on the address attribute, and those didn't work too. Did I miss something? Regards, Jungnam Lee

[libvirt-users] libvirt possibly ignoring cache=none ?
by Brano Zarnovican 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Hi, I have an instance with 8G ram assigned. All block devices have cache disabled (cache=none) on host. However, cgroup is reporting 4G of cache associated to the instance (on host) # cgget -r memory.stat libvirt/qemu/i-000009fa libvirt/qemu/i-000009fa: memory.stat: cache 4318011392 rss 8676360192 ... When I drop all system caches on host.. # echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches # ..cache associated to the instance drops too. # cgget -r memory.stat libvirt/qemu/i-000009fa libvirt/qemu/i-000009fa: memory.stat: cache 122880 rss 8674291712 ... Can somebody explain what is cached, if there is cache=none everywhere ?

[libvirt-users] KVM bridge wonkiness in Fedora19
by Lonni J Friedman 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Greetings, I'm attempting to get several virtual machines setup on a Fedora19 host system, with the traditional bridge network devices (br0, br1, etc). I've done this many times before with older versions of Fedora (16, 14, etc), and it just works. However, for reasons that I cannot figure out, the bridge doesn't seem to be working in Fedora19. While I can successfully connect to the outside world (local network + internet) from inside a VM, nothing can communicate with the VM from outside (local network). I'm referring to something as trivial as pinging. From inside the VM, I can ping anything successfully (0% packet loss). However, from outside the VM (on the host, or any other system on the same network), I see 100% packet loss when pinging the IP address of the VM. My first question is simply, does anyone else have this working successfully in F19? And if so, what steps did you need to follow? I'm not using NetworkManager at all, its all the network service. There are no firewalls involved anywhere (iptables & firewall services are currently disabled). Here's the current host configuration: # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.38eaa792efe5 no em2 vnet1 br1 8000.38eaa792efe6 no em3 br2 8000.38eaa792efe7 no em4 vnet0 virbr0 8000.525400db3ebf yes virbr0-nic # more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em2 TYPE=Ethernet BRIDGE="br0" NAME=em2 DEVICE="em2" UUID=aeaa839e-c89c-4d6e-9daa-79b6a1b919bd ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=38:EA:A7:92:EF:E5 NM_CONTROLLED="no" # more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 TYPE=Bridge NM_CONTROLLED="no" BOOTPROTO=dhcp NAME=br0 DEVICE="br0" ONBOOT=yes # ifconfig em2 ;ifconfig br0 em2: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::3aea:a7ff:fe92:efe5 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 38:ea:a7:92:ef:e5 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 100093 bytes 52354831 (49.9 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 25321 bytes 15791341 (15.0 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device memory 0xf7d00000-f7e00000 br0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.31.99.226 netmask 255.255.252.0 broadcast 10.31.99.255 inet6 fe80::3aea:a7ff:fe92:efe5 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 38:ea:a7:92:ef:e5 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet) RX packets 19619 bytes 1963328 (1.8 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 11 bytes 1074 (1.0 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 Relevant section from /etc/libvirt/qemu/foo.xml (one of the VMs with this problem): <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:26:22:9d'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> I can provide additional information, if requested. thanks!
