[libvirt-users] win10 vm stuck in automatic repair
by Jack Kamm 27 Oct '19

27 Oct '19

Hello, I have a Windows 10 guest, when I boot it, it goes in to Automatic Repair mode, and after some time reports it was unable to repair the PC. This is from an older snapshot ("snapshot1"), and if I try switching back to a more recent snapshot ("snapshot2"), libvirt reports that it can't find the snapshot: > libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: Child process (/usr/bin/qemu-img > snapshot -a snapshot2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/win10.qcow2) unexpected > exit status 1: qemu-img: Could not apply snapshot 'snapshot2': Failed > to load snapshot: Invalid argument Does anyone have any ideas why this might have happened, or any suggestions for how I can go about diagnosing/fixing this? This was a pretty simple Windows 10 VM, that I used for Microsoft Office. Everything was managed through virt-manager and most settings left at the original defaults. Thanks, Jack

Hi Team, I am exploring "edu" device in QEMU to add my own custom device. I am able to add the device using the command line. Would it be possible to add the device using XML file through libvirt? -- Regards, Bharath

[libvirt-users] [libvirt]Some questions about live migration
by Luyao Zhong 18 Oct '19

18 Oct '19

Hi libvirt experts, I have some questions about live migration. * If a live migration failed during migrating, will the domain exist on the destination host? * Is the flag VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED make sense to live migration? It's a little confusing for me. Does that indicate if I set this flag, then the domain on the destination will not disappear even if the migration is failed, and it will in 'paused' status? If not setting this flag, what will it be? It may be similar to the question above. I filed a bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1762703 about this flag, since its description is not very clear. Thanks in advance, looking forward to your reply. Regards, Luyao -- 2.7.4

[libvirt-users] Transient permission denied errors when sending audit logs
by Roman Mohr 17 Oct '19

17 Oct '19

Hi, In kubevirt we are running into a strange permission problem on libvirt-5.0. We see transient "Permission Denied" errors when "virAuditSend" wants to send an audit log. [1] shows the logs of one of these containers. Here an example: {"component":"virt-launcher","level":"warning","msg":"Failed to send audit message virt=kvm vm=\"kubevirt-test-default_testvmit2pqrkrlrwbhptcjcs4n67jn6pjqvmtd7pkrpdmkrl5sldzs4rxr9zdg8m45jxz\" uuid=56a33283-f6d7-4002-b188-1fed83186545 vm-ctx=+107:+107 img-ctx=+107:+107 model=dac: Permission denied","pos":"virAuditSend:141","subcomponent":"libvirt","thread":"30","timestamp":"2019-10-08T23:58:40.651000Z"} We recently switched in kubevirt to a dedicated selinux policy and remove the general "privileged" flag from the containers where we run libvirt in. This is very likely related to it, but we can't make sense out of it, because: * It randomly affects one out of a few hundred containers which we start * It is not bound to a specific node * It is only transient on that container. After a few denials libvirt can just continue. * Sometimes it is accompanied with a transient "Permission denied" on /dev/null from our code in that container (so not from something which libvirt tries to do). Has someone seen something like this before in different environments? Best Regards, Roman [1] https://storage.googleapis.com/kubevirt-prow/pr-logs/pull/kubevirt_kubevirt…

[libvirt-users] Fwd: Libvirt-QEMU : Multiplex the output from qemu's serial port to a pty as well as a file (basically redirect console to file as well as pty device)
by gokul cg 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Hi Folks , As per https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsConsole Regardless of the type, character devices can have an optional log file associated with them. Whether the lgging functionality is same as mapping device to file ? Whether libvirt xml syntax below both 1 and 2 are same ? 1) <serial type='pty'> <log file='/var/lib/nova/instances/7151c8b7-1ea5-4701-bb79-b482d9e253b8/console.log' append='off'/> <target port='0'/> </serial> 2) <serial type='pty'> <source path='/tmp/serial.log'/> <target port='0'/> </serial> is it possible to multiplex the output from qemu's serial port to a pty as well as a file (basically redirect console to file as well as pty device)? Regards Gokul

by Michael Lipp 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Hi, I have set <kvm> <hidden state='on'/> </kvm> in my configuration file. But looking at the command line, I see -cpu ...,hypervisor=on,... Should the setting result in hypervisor=off (or -hypervisor) - Michael

[libvirt-users] Emulated TPM doesn't work on Debian Buster
by procmem＠riseup.net 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Hi. I am very interested in the security properties a totally open TPM can give our users - its use as a universal smartcard to protect all types of keys. When adding the virtual 1.2 or 2.0 TPM I get the vague error below. OS is Debian stable with standard packages. Error starting domain: Unable to find 'swtpm' binary in $PATH: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 75, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 111, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 66, in newfn ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1400, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1080, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirt.libvirtError: Unable to find 'swtpm' binary in $PATH: No such file or directory
