[libvirt-users] libvirt, openSUSE, SuSeFirewall2 and port forwarding
by Johannes Kastl 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list, I thought I had already asked this question, but apparently I just started writing a draft mail and never sent it (at least I can't find it in the archives). Has anyone setup qemu VMs using libvirt on openSUSE, and has gotten port forwarding to work? I used on of the many scripts out there, that go into /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu, and it is being called. Somehow it seems once in a while SuSefirewall2 just forgets about iptable rules set with this script. And sometimes they don't appear, even if the script is executed. Anyone else having the same issues? Any openSUSE users willing to try this? Thanks in advance! Regards, Johannes - -- What do Bud Light and sex in a canoe have in common? Both is fuckin' close to water. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SeaMonkey - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlOcmAAACgkQzi3gQ/xETbJRwwCfZe3YKXfQG7O0aHFDvD6EwXus a/8An36n1L/pAWSTuue3w0GG2ovAsw07 =aLj5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[libvirt-users] Status of Host machine.
by Sijo Jose 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

Hi, Using libvirt how can we check the status of a remote/local host machine.. isAlive() method is giving true even if the internet connection is broken OR libvirt demon in the remote machine is being stopped. so isAlive() does not seems to be handy, Is there some other way to get the status of remote host..? Thanks -Sijo

[libvirt-users] about sharing the hugepage memory segment between the host and the container
by WANG Cheng D 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Dear all, What I want to do is to share a hugepage memory segment between the host and a container (I am trying to use intel DPDK package in container). For a normal memory (4k page), the memory sharing can be achieved by memory-mapped I/O (mmap())method with the same disk file on the host exposed to the container (that is, the host and the container share the same disk file). my questions are: 1) Do I need to mount the hugetlbfs in host and container respectively? 2) According to my understanding, the exposed file that will be shared by the host and container must locate at the hugetlbfs mount point. Is this right? 3) According to my understanding, the mount point in the host doesn't necessarily to be the same as that of the container, as long as the mount point is exposed to the container, Is this right? 4) If I want to share the hugepage memory segment betwen two containers, what's the answers for 1) ? 5) According to my internet research, if use open() to open a file under the hugepage mount point, the mmap() will automatically return a pointer to the hugepage memory segment. Is this right? Apart from this, I cannot see other difference from memory-mapped I/O with the 4k page memory. Any answer will be highly appreciated. Cheng Wang

[libvirt-users] Libvirt Python Bindings - Remote Connection using openAuth.
by Sijo Jose 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi, I am using libvirt with python binding, and I want to connect to a remote host. I was able to connect after making ssh certificate, but It is not applicable for my project. So I want to use openAuth() method, but I could not succeed connecting to a remote host using it. Here is my code ------------------------ import libvirt USER = "root" PASS = "mypasswd" def authcb(credentials, user_data): for credential in credentials: if credential[0] == libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME: credential[4] = USER elif credential[0] == libvirt.VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE: credential[4] = PASS return 0 auth = [[libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME, libvirt.VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE], authcb, None] conn = libvirt.openAuth("qemu+ssh://192.168.1.21/system", auth, 0) print conn.getHostname() ------------------------------- *If there is something wrong, how am I supposed to use it.* If its not the right place to get libvirt-python related help, from where can I get it.

[libvirt-users] Updating domain XML issue
by Brian Rak 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

I'm trying to unmount a guest cdrom using libvirt_domain_update_device (via php-libvirt). The guest cdrom is currently mounted via Ceph, via this XML: <disk type='network' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <auth username='cdroms'> <secret type='ceph' uuid='XXXX'/> </auth> <source protocol='rbd' name='cdrom/test'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> In order to unmount it, I'm trying to use this XML: <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-1-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> However, I'm getting an error from libvirt: 'internal error: invalid secret type 'ceph''. I suspect this is because it's still trying to use the authentication information from the old cdrom definition. How do I convince it to not do this? I've tried specifiying an empty <auth/> block, but that generates it's own error ('missing username for auth')

[libvirt-users] Live snapshots of a single block device
by Andrew Martin 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Hello, I am working on a script to automatically create live snapshots of running VMs using qemu-kvm 1.4.0 and libvirt 1.0.2. If a VM has multiple disks, I'd like to back them up individually with separate calls to snapshot-create-as, so I can more easily manage the disk images. The code I have now is essentially as follows: virsh snapshot-create-as --domain "vmname" --name "snapshotname" --description "snapshot description" --disk-only --atomic --no-metadata --diskspec "vda" I run this command for each block device (e.g vda, vdb, etc). However, after running the above command (to only backup vda), I see that a snapshot has also been created for vdb. I tried running it with --print-xml, which gives this output: <domainsnapshot> <name>05-22-14_17-09-25</name> <description>05-22-14_17-09-25</description> <disks> <disk name='vda'/> </disks> </domainsnapshot> What am I doing wrong - how can I tell snapshot-create-as to create an external snapshot for a specific block device only (not all block devices)? Also, while looking at the manpage, does the --live option do anything different if used with the above command? Thanks, Andrew Martin

[libvirt-users] More than one certificate authority
by Емил Гелев 30 May '14

30 May '14

Hello. I have a question about libvirt remote access. I read carefully how to set up TLS authorization guide and I have done all the steps. Everything works, but for my virtualization infrastructure I need more flexibility. How can I configure a single host to trust more than one certificate authority. Lets say, for example, that I have 10 virtualization hosts and each of them has certificates signed by the same CA (lets say CA1) and they trust each other. But I have a client which does not have a client certificate signed by CA1, but has a certificate signed by CA2. I do not want my virtualization hosts to trust the CA2 except for just one of them. I want to provide this client with authorized access to one of my hosts. So this specific host must trust CA1 and CA2 as well, but in the '/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf' file I can point the certificate of only one CA. How can I set up such a configuration ? The same question is valid for the client. How can I configure a client to trust CA1 and CA2 ?

I'm trying to accomplish what I had hoped would be a fairly simple filtering of traffic to my VMs, but I'm hitting a snag. The VMs are allowing traffic when I wouldn't expect them to. Host and Guest are both running the same platform: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 0.9.8-2ubuntu17.19 I have a basic bridge enabled on the host: brctl addbr brdg brctl addif brdg eth1 ip link set brdg up The host has iptables support: root@host:~# lsmod | grep filt ip6table_filter 12815 0 ip6_tables 27864 2 ip6table_filter,xt_TPROXY iptable_filter 12810 1 ip_tables 27473 4 iptable_raw,iptable_nat,iptable_mangle,iptable_filter x_tables 29891 52 ebt_arp,ebt_ip,ip6table_filter,ebtables,xt_time,xt_connlimit,xt_realm,xt_addrtype,iptable_raw,xt_comment,xt_recent,xt_policy,ipt_ULOG,ipt_REJECT,ipt_REDIRECT,ipt_NETMAP,ipt_MASQUERADE,ipt_ECN,ipt_ecn,ipt_CLUSTERIP,ipt_ah,xt_set,xt_TPROXY,ip6_tables,xt_tcpmss,xt_pkttype,xt_physdev,xt_owner,xt_NFQUEUE,xt_NFLOG,xt_multiport,xt_mark,xt_mac,xt_limit,xt_length,xt_iprange,xt_helper,xt_hashlimit,xt_DSCP,xt_dscp,xt_dccp,xt_conntrack,xt_connmark,xt_CLASSIFY,xt_AUDIT,ipt_LOG,xt_tcpudp,xt_state,iptable_nat,iptable_mangle,iptable_filter,ip_tables Guest network using bridge: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/> <source bridge='brdg'/> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='outbound-only'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <filter name='outbound-only' chain='root'> <uuid>0c834381-402c-faf3-019f-eb5a40ea6b61</uuid> <filterref filter='allow-arp'/> <filterref filter='allow-dhcp'/> <filterref filter='qemu-announce-self'/> <filterref filter='no-other-l2-traffic'/> </filter> My goal is to allow the guest to reach the internet, but not allow the internet or other guests to reach this guest. I realize this config is not sufficient for that, but I can't get any farther until I understand the current behavior. From the look of the config, this should essentially not be allowing anything except arp and dhcp. And yet, the host has full connectivity. I can run apt-get update on the VM, I can ping the VM from other nodes in my network, etc. It's basically wide-open. So either one of the included rules is not working as advertised, or I'm misunderstanding some feature of the filtering process. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

[libvirt-users] vnet device not appearing

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
