by vivek hari 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Hi, I tried to create a VM in ESXi 5.5 and to assign the interface to a Distributed switch portgroup. But i failed to achieve it. When i define a VM with distributed portgroup , i cannot see that distributed portgroup getting assigned to the VM network interface. My libvirt version is 0.10.2 I wish to know whether the libvirt supports assigning interface to a distributed port group ? If so how to proceed with it. Thanks, Vivek

[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 03 Jun '14

03 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] kvm domain won't start with vhost-net loaded
by Raphael Bauduin 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Hi, I have multiple kvm domains running fine, but to improve network performance, I wanted to try vhost-net. However, once I load the module: modprobe vhost-net I can't start the domain anymore: virsh start kvmGitInt gives the error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,fd=25,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=26: vhost-net requested but could not be initialized qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,fd=25,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=26: Device 'tap' could not be initialized This is a 3.14.4 kernel, with libvirt 1.2.1 and qemu 1.7.0. I have searched online but haven't found any indication on how to solve it in my case (The kernel is not selinux enabled,not using systemd, ...) Any suggestion on how to solve this is very welcome! Thanks in advance Raph

[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 ?

[libvirt-users] nwfilter usage
by Matt LaPlante 28 May '14

28 May '14

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?

Hi All, I have a usage question about netcf. Why netcf can not rename a existing physical interface dynamically by itself? If you have any other method, please share to me, or can we add support for it in netcf? You can see the following steps for details. Version: netcf-0.2.4-1.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 1. Select a existing NIC from host, for example eth1. [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool list --all eth0 eth1 lo [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool dumpxml eth1 <?xml version="1.0"?> <interface type="ethernet" name="eth1"> <start mode="none"/> <mac address="00:1B:21:27:4E:CE"/> <protocol family="ipv4"> <dhcp/> </protocol> </interface> [root@rhel6 ~]# ifconfig eth1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:21:27:4E:CE BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool ifup eth1 Interface eth1 successfully brought up 2. Undefine eth1 from host [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool ifdown eth1 Interface eth1 successfully brought down [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool undefine eth1 eth1 undefined [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool list --all eth0 lo 3. Prepare another xml with same MAC and a new name "jiahu" [root@rhel6 ~]# cat jiahu.xml <interface type="ethernet" name="jiahu"> <start mode="none"/> <mac address="00:1B:21:27:4E:CE"/> <protocol family="ipv4"> <dhcp/> </protocol> </interface> 4. Define the "jiahu", and start it. [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool define jiahu.xml Defined interface jiahu [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool dumpxml jiahu <?xml version="1.0"?> <interface type="ethernet" name="jiahu"> <start mode="none"/> <mac address="00:1B:21:27:4E:CE"/> <protocol family="ipv4"> <dhcp/> </protocol> </interface> [root@rhel6 ~]# ifconfig jiahu jiahu: error fetching interface information: Device not found [root@rhel6 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-jiahu DEVICE=jiahu HWADDR=00:1B:21:27:4E:CE ONBOOT=no BOOTPROTO=dhcp [root@rhel6 ~]# ncftool ifup jiahu Interface jiahu bring-up failed! error: failed to execute external program error: Running 'ifup jiahu' failed with exit code 1: Device jiahu does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [root@rhel6 ~]# ll /sys/class/net/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:32 eth0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/net/eth0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:35 eth1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:00.0/net/eth1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:32 lo -> ../../devices/virtual/net/lo lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:32 virbr0 -> ../../devices/virtual/net/virbr0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 23 11:32 virbr0-nic -> ../../devices/virtual/net/virbr0-nic 5. Reboot the host OS, the jiahu interface appeared. [root@rhel6 ~]# ifconfig jiahu jiahu Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:21:27:4E:CE BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) BR, Jianwei
