[libvirt-users] SCSI/IDE Devices in Guest
by Douglas Russell 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

I'm experimenting with how to attach storage to a guest virtual machine (I sent another message to th elist about that as it's slightly different) Looking in the XML files for my virtual machine, I see this: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/vm/myvm/tmpeuiVc9.qcow2'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> However, /dev/hda is not a device in the guest. It is /dev/sda. It's not really a problem in it's own right, but it's one of several connected things which don't make sense. Is there some explanation for this? I believe this is linked to some weirdness when I attach some extra storage like so: virsh attach-disk myvm /dev/lvm-group1/mystorage sdb --driver qemu --persistent This adds the following stanza: <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/lvm-group1/mystorage'/> <target dev='sdb' bus='scsi'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='1'/> </disk> Looks about right. In the guest though, it pushes /dev/sda (root and swap are here on sda1 and sda2) upto /dev/sdb (sdb1 and sdb2). Somehow it still boots correctly despite fstab referrencing /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 for / and swap. The new /dev/sda is this storage I tried to add as sdb. What could be causing this? Thanks, Douglas

I have checked that I removed all distro things, ran self-built virsh, libvirtd. To make sure, I use absolute paths for running. Also I will check process status in time. This is "ps" shown: 2996 1 3 08:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/libvirt/sbin/libvirtd -d Is there some thing wrong? I can't search "libvirt-sock" after runing it. Sorry for top-posting.

I have checked that all related files are under the directory-"/usr/local/libvirt", additionally, libvirtd's path is "/usr/local/libvirt/sbin/libvirtd". I am confused why I can't search libvirt-sock in my disk after starting libvirtd. > > Could you please give me some advises? > > Thanks a lot! > > Note that '--prefix=/usr/local/libvrt' is a typo.

[libvirt-users] Multicast with KVM NAT networking
by james pedia 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

I used omping to test multicast between 2 KVM VMs under same physical host, and it is not working in terms of multicast (normal pings/ssh works between these 2 VMs). How to enable multicast for KVM guests running under NAT networking mode under the same physical host? Per some doc from RedHat, it would be very slow using NAT with multicast for KVM. I have to use virbr0/NAT mode since I am using wireless. So although it would be slow, it should still work, but this is not the case for me.

[libvirt-users] Attaching storage to a virtual machine
by Douglas Russell 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

I am slightly lost trying to attach some storage to a functioning virtual machine. If this where a real machine, I would simply be trying to mount a LVM volume. I have found a lot of documentation about adding storage pools, but I'm unsure if that is actually what I should be doing. Is that just for storage of the virtual machines themselves? Once I'd added my LVM volume group to virsh I could see no way of then assigning one volume of that to be offered as a logical volume to one particular virtual machine. I've also seen this: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/sec… Looks like I could use that to assign one of the LVM volumes in my LVM volume group to the VM. If anyone could explain the different function of these two techniques and which sounds applicable I would be most grateful. Thanks, Douglas

[libvirt-users] error : virPidFileAcquirePath:345 : Failed to acquire pid file '/home/corey/.libvirt/libvirtd.pid': Resource temporarily unavailable
by 何鑫 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Hi all, When I try to start libvirtd, using "libvirtd -d", error notification shown below:error : virPidFileAcquirePath:345 : Failed to acquire pid file '/$HOME/.libvirt/libvirtd.pid': Resource temporarily unavailable Using "libvirtd -v", show: "libvirtd: error: Unable to obtain pidfile. Check /var/log/messages or run without --daemon for more info." The file "libvirtd.pid" only contains "2010" without any other infomation. I have checked that libvirtd has been installed in "/libvirt/sbin" with binary format by self-compiled. So how can I solve the problem? Or how to start libvirtd? Meanwhile, virsh can't search "libvirt-sock", because the libvirtd is not started successfully. Thanks a lot! Corey

[libvirt-users] overriding shutdown for LXC
by erkan yanar 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Moin Im using lxc@libvirt for LXC-applicationcontainer. Works quite nice for now, beside shutting down the container, which is not implemented. Hooks don't help here, as far as I found out. Is there a way to override/define the shutdown function? Regards Erkan -- über den grenzen muß die freiheit wohl wolkenlos sein

You _can_ do NAT. Set up a different libvirt network on each machine, like this; 10.128.80.65 will have a libvirt network 192.168.65.0/24 10.128.80.66 will have a libvirt network 192.168.66.0/24 Set up each of these networks as routed networks. Now set up routing/iptables rules on each host to send traffic to each other, and NAT into the internal routed network On 31/10/12 01:46, libvirt-users-request(a)redhat.com wrote: > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 07:10:55 +0000 > From: ??<zhang_zhang(a)live.com> > To:<libvirt-users(a)redhat.com> > Subject: [libvirt-users] Can VMs on different machines communicate > with each other without IP? > Message-ID:<BLU172-W4666B32A6C9C8E75734C67FC620(a)phx.gbl> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="gb2312" > > > Dear all, > I confront a somehow strange situation: > I have two machines configured with ip 10.128.80.65 and 10.128.80.66 respectively. Each has several VMs running on it. The problem is that I have no more ip ( such as 10.128.80.67...) to allocate to VMs, but VMs need to communicate with each other even when they are on different machines. > Two network options exist: NAT and bridge. > 1) NAT > But VMs on different machine cannot communicate with each other. > 2)bridge > But there is no more ip for vm to be bridged to host machine. > Is there any other way to work around this problem? > > > many thanks!
