[libvirt-users] PCI passthrough error
by Jaap Winius 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hi folks, Has anyone encountered the following PCI passthrough error? error: internal error Process exited while reading console \ log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 assigned_dev_pci_read: pread failed, ret = 0 errno = 2 It's produced after I've detached the PCI device from the base OS and have tried to start up the guest domain. To get to this point, I mostly followed these instructions: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/cha… The distro I'm using is Debian squeeze, which by default comes with libvirt 0.8.3 and qemu-kvm 0.12.5, although to avoid a different PCI passthrough error, I used Debian backports for squeeze to upgrade them to libvirt 0.9.8 and qemu-kvm 1.0. The motherboard involved has VT-d support, which I've enabled with the "intel_iommu=on" kernel option (dmesg shows "Intel-IOMMU: enabled"). I did not bother with setsebool because SELinux is disabled. According to lspci, the device I want to pass through to the guest domain, a USB controller, has bus/slot/function 00:1a.0, so I added the following stanza to the <devices> section of my guest domain: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1a' function='0x0'/> </source> </hostdev> Actually, every time I save this configuration, libvirt changes it to: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1a' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> Huh, slot 5? I don't have any PCI devices that use slot 5. Well, at least the system doesn't complain, but I worry that this might be a symptom of something more serious. Anyway, I'd be very grateful if anyone has any tips on how I might avoid the aforementioned error and get PCI passthrough to to work. Thanks, Jaap

Hi All, I am trying to compile libvirt-0.9.11 on Centos 5.6 (32 bit) for xen 4.1. I have followed following procedure to compile the libvirt library. 1. ./autogen.sh --system --with-xen 2. make While running "make", I am receiving following errors : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC libvirt_iohelper-iohelper.o CCLD libvirt_iohelper CC libvirt_parthelper-parthelper.o CCLD libvirt_parthelper libvirt_parthelper-parthelper.o: In function `main': /root/Downloads/libvirt-0.9.11/src/storage/parthelper.c:103: undefined reference to `ped_device_get' /root/Downloads/libvirt-0.9.11/src/storage/parthelper.c:117: undefined reference to `ped_disk_new' /root/Downloads/libvirt-0.9.11/src/storage/parthelper.c:123: undefined reference to `ped_disk_next_partition' /root/Downloads/libvirt-0.9.11/src/storage/parthelper.c:173: undefined reference to `ped_disk_next_partition' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [libvirt_parthelper] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/Downloads/libvirt-0.9.11/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Downloads/libvirt-0.9.11/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Downloads/libvirt-0.9.11' make: *** [all] Error 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have installed parted (GNU parted) 3.0 ( previously it was 1.8.1 .

[libvirt-users] virsh works but libvirt-java throws a 'No route to host'

[libvirt-users] NFS + sanlock problems
by Kyrre Begnum 09 Apr '12

09 Apr '12

Hello list, In short: I am experiencing a problem where trying to start a VM which is allready running on a different libvirt host. Starting it fails, thanks to sanlock, but the disk dies on the original hypervisor and the vms filesystem is rendered read-only. Long version: i have the following setup: Two machines (H1 and H2) using CentOS 6.2 with the packages: qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.209.el6_2.4.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.9.4-23.el6_2.7.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6_2.7.x86_64 libvirt-lock-sanlock-0.9.4-23.el6_2.7.x86_64 They share two NFS folders, one for filesystems ( net set up as a libvirt storage pool ) and one for sanlock. sanlock is started without watchdog. /etc/libvirt/qemu-sanlock.conf: auto_disk_leases = 1 disk_lease_dir = "/opt/mln/sanlock" host_id = 51 ( host_id is 52 on H2 ) cat /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf | grep sanlock lock_manager = "sanlock" A virtual machine is created ( with virsh create ) on H1 using the following xml: <domain type='kvm' > <name>rhel1.locktest</name> <memory>524288</memory> <vcpu></vcpu> <os>

It's not the first time that someone has asked for rsync, and it wouldn't be too hard to add. However note that rsync really gives you no benefit when you're creating a filesystem from scratch, because there's no original to rsync against. If you are updating a filesystem image then rsync makes sense. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.

[libvirt-users] Is this Race Condition?
by Zhihua Che 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hi, everyone I'm writing application using libvirt and I need call virDomainGetCPUStats to get domain cpu stats . I learn from API reference that this function has to be called when domain is running. So my question is if there is an atomic way to test the domain's state and get its stats? Or, it's ok to call this function when domain is not active, but caller just gets error returned. In my code, I just call it directly and return error. I wonder if this programming practice has subtle problem like race condition.

[libvirt-users] Bare libvirt web interface
by RaSca 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi, I set up a virtual environment based upon KVM/libvirt/pacemaker. When managing this I cannot use virt-manager or virsh, since everything is managed by the cluster. So when I need to migrate a vm I must drive the operation from pacemaker (via crm shell program). I'm ok with this kind of management, but what I need now is just a bare web interface to make the users see just the position (= on which node) and the state of the vm (cpu, memory and so on, like virt-top output). I don't want to use things like ovirt or similar, because I'm managing everything with the cluster and also I cannot use LCMC (http://lcmc.sourceforge.net/) since it is java based and is not as simple as I want. I need just those information to be printed in a self refreshing web page, and before doing it by myself I was just wondering if something already exists. I saw projects like http://karesansui-project.info and https://fedorahosted.org/virt_web but maybe there is something easier and more focused to obtain just the informations I need.

[libvirt-users] Suggestions on building VM disks from scratch
by Dale Amon 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

This may not be the best forum to ask, but it does seem to be one where it is as likely as anywhere that someone will have dealt with a similar problem. I need to define a procedure for last resort disaster recovery from an incremental file level backup of the root partition (and any others that are critical.) Now it is easy enough to create a raw virtual disk with dd, then to losetup and do a cfdisk and mkfs, then mount it and rsync the backup onto it. At this point I would like to be able to install grub and make the virtual disk bootable. I have 'issues' with the way grub does things and the way it seems to make certain assumptions for you. The virtual disk is in actuality going to become an hd(0) on the virtual machine; but my past experience with grub is that it is going to assume you really intend to install the MBR on your running system disk; but if you tell it hd(1) then when you try to boot it ain't gonna work. Has anyone dealt with these issues? It's more than just a VM one; I run up against it time and again. A few months ago I attempted to attach a brand new SATA disk via a USB converter to my laptop so I could build a system on it for a machine that has not CD, no floppy, etc, etc. I damn near clobbered my laptop but fortunately caught the problem in time and fixed it before a reboot... in which case I'd have *really* had issues.
