[libvirt-users] "failed to send audit message operation not permitted"
by Pasquale Dir 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hello, I have a remote ubuntu server on which I have a kvm hypervisor installed. Now, on my ubuntu desktop, I create a new connection with virt-manager and start a remote guest. The guest successfully starts, however I can't see it in the console and, on client side, I get that remote user closed it. Looking at the /var/log/libvirtd on the server side I get that error: "failed to send audit message operation not permitted" I tried to call "virsh console myDomain" on the remote server and what I get is that the console freezes. The log is always the same, operation not permitted. Here's the complete one: 2014-04-17 18:26:26.532+0000: 2985: warning : virAuditSend:135 : Failed to send audit message virt=kvm op=stop reason=destroyed vm="dhcpVPN" uuid=929bac48-b87c-9f6f-156a-5c066bf36085 vm-pid=-1: Operation not permitted Where the problem could be?

[libvirt-users] libvirt with glusterfs problem
by lyz_pro 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hi I have two node: hcg3, hcg4 which run glusterfs Also run libvirtd on each node. The problem cames when I use `virsh attach-device` to attach a glusterfs type disk . My device xml like: <disk type="network" device="disk"> <driver name="qemu" type="raw" cache="none"/> <source protocol="gluster" name="h2312v3/volume-257e07bd-9e80-4d06-8d6d-5f83979de1fd"> <host name="hcg4"/> </source> <target bus="virtio" dev="vdb"/> <serial>257e07bd-9e80-4d06-8d6d-5f83979de1fd</serial> </disk> when I attach a gluster disk to a domain running on hcg4. the above xml work great. BUT when I try to change the tag `host` name attribute to hcg3, the attach action will fail with output: error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running Also: I can use `qemu-kvm` command to start vm successful with gluster://hcg3 or gluster://hcg4. I have stop both nodes' iptables. and my libvirt and qemu version is : Compiled against library: libvirt 1.1.4 Using library: libvirt 1.1.4 Using API: QEMU 1.1.4 Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.6.2 glusterfs-3.4.1-3.el6.x86_64 -------------- lyz_pro 2014-04-11

[libvirt-users] Snapshots
by lukass.vacek＠seznam.cz 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hello, I would like to ask what I am doing wrong and what is the best approach to resolve this situation: First of all I start virtual machine by virDomainCreateXML. In my application I use libvncclient library that sends mouse events to this running domain. I had some troubles with coordinates of mouse cursor but all problem was solved when I added <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> to xml configuration. So now I have a running domain and I want to create snapshot and then after some operations I want to restore this snapshot. I use virDomainSave and virDomainRestore that work fine. The only problem is, that after creating and restoring snapshot I have the same problem with coordinates of mouse. I need to create and restore snapshot also with <input type='tablet' bus= 'usb'/> somewhere specified. I also tried methods virDomainSaveFlags with xml configuration string(see below) as parameter *dxml, but method fails with: libvir: Domain Config error : XML error: domainsnapshot.Unable to create snapshot. What should I add to xml configuration? I look at http://libvirt.org/ formatsnapshot.html on example but I dont know what paths I should use in my program. I dont understand much snapshots and similar stuff so could you give me example how could I edit my xml configuration? Or what I should do to make virDomainSave and virDomainRestore work? xml configuration: <domain type='kvm'> <name>Name</name> <uuid>c7a5fdbd-cdaf-9455-926a-d65c16db1810</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>524288</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu>2</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <devices> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='/home/lukas/Desktop/Image.img'/> <target dev='hda'/> </disk> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> </interface> <graphics type='vnc' port='5901'> <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/> </graphics> </devices> </domain>

[libvirt-users] LXC vCPU controlling problem
by Xingjun Wang 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi,guys! I've been using libvirt-1.1.1 with LXC1.0.0 to do my CS homework.But I met a problem when I tried to set vcpu for a LXC.The /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/machine/cpuset.cpus always show 0-3 no matter how many vcpu I defined in the XML setting file. But I found the command "virsh -c lxc:/// domaininfo lxc_name" got the right number as it is defined. What's the problem there? Is it a bug in libvirt-1.1.1? Thank you!

Re: [libvirt-users] LXC + USB passthrough = Operation not permitted
by WANG Cheng D 15 Apr '14

Dear Fil, I am not sure if my answer can help you. I had ever asked a similar question to Daniel and I was using a thirty-party card. As a container uses a shared kernel with the host, so hostdev mode='subsystem' doesn't make sense. Maybe you can try to use hostdev mode='capabilities'. Please see http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsHostDevCaps Hope this helps Cheng Wang

[libvirt-users] Changing dnsmasq DNS settings for virtual machines
by Johannes Kastl 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, maybe this is an old fart, but I cant get it to work. I am running libvirt on a laptop, where a dnsmasq is already running to delegate dns info for my local (not-public) network. My resolv.conf (on the host) lists the system-dnsmasq as first server. I had to set the listen-adress for the system-dnsmasq to 127.0.0.1 and set bind-interfaces, to stop if from binding to all interfaces and overriding the libvirtd-dnsmasq, which also has dhcp enabled. Now, how can I tell the libvirtd-dnsmasq, to use the system-dnsmasq as first nameserver? I found lots of pages when searching for "libvirt dns", but all of them only show the dhcp-part of the network's xml file: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/VirtualNetworking#DNS_.26_DHCP > <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0"> <dhcp> <range > start="192.168.122.100" end="192.168.122.254" /> <host > mac="00:16:3e:e2:ed" name="foo.example.com" ip="192.168.122.10" /> > </dhcp> </ip> One possible workaround: My system-dnsmasq reads /etc/hosts_whatever, and apparently the libvirtd-dnsmasq reads var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/NETWORK_NAME.addnhosts. I could copy my hosts_whatever in that place, but I had to configure the libvirtd-dnsmasq what my local domains are. Which brings me to the next question: How to set the addn-hosts= for the libvirtd-dnsmasq in the xml file?

[libvirt-users] Setting elevator=noop in the guest necessary?

[libvirt-users] Help with understanding and solving snapshot problem
by rolf 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hello Fairly new to libvirt. I’m hoping to both solve a problem with this question as well as learn more detail about how libvirt works. Using RHEL 6.4 and libvirt version is 0.10.2 and qemu-img version is 0.12.1.2 Using virt-manager I created a VM. Nothing unusual as far as I can see. I then added a disk. So I have a second virtio based volume which the guest then mounts as a separate filesystem. At some stage after that I created a snapshot of the system. I can’t delete the snapshot. The end result is I’d like to create a snapshot that excludes the second (much larger) disk - that is backed up via conventional backup systems. But the issue is first deleting the snapshot and my understanding of what its saying. So here is some basic info: # virsh snapshot-list host1 Name Creation Time State ------------------------------------------------------------ snap1-host1 2014-01-19 16:59:10 +1100 shutoff # # virsh snapshot-info host1 --current Name: snap1-host1 Domain: host1 Current: yes State: shutoff Location: internal Parent: - Children: 0 Descendants: 0 Metadata: yes So I try and delete it: # virsh snapshot-delete host1 --current error: Failed to delete snapshot snap1-host1 error: unsupported configuration: deletion of 1 external disk snapshots not supported yet Why does it say “external” in the above error, when the snapshot-info says its Location is internal? Are they not related ideas? The img file /var/lib/libvirt/images/host1.img is not being used by KVM. the snapshot files are in use instead: # virsh domblklist host1 Target Source ------------------------------------------------ vda /var/lib/libvirt/snap1-host1.qcow2 vdb /var/lib/libvirt/snap1-host1-db.qcow2 hdc - Querying them: # qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/snap1-host1.qcow2 image: /var/lib/libvirt/snap1-host1.qcow2 file format: qcow2 virtual size: 24G (25769803776 bytes) disk size: 3.5G cluster_size: 65536 [root@cocoa libvirt]# qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/snap1-host1-db.qcow2 image: /var/lib/libvirt/snap1-host1-db.qcow2 file format: qcow2 virtual size: 1.6T (1800279089664 bytes) disk size: 325G cluster_size: 65536 What have I done wrong and how can I correct this so I can discard the existing snapshot and have a snapshot of the system excluding the second disk (and optionally which I can re-take at intervals and discard old ones)? Many thanks, rolf.

[libvirt-users] Windows 2008r2 guest tcp retransmit hangs
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hi, I'm currently investigating a problem with our windows 2008r2 guest on centos 6 hosts. The issue is that the windows system sometimes sees a SYN packet for a tcp connection but doesn't respond. Three seconds later the retransmitted packet arrives and this time windows decides to proceed normally with the connection. This is with the virtio drivers but I have now switched to the e1000 driver where the problem also occurs but not quite as badly as with virtio which leads me to speculate that the driver isn't really the problem but only affects whatever the real issue is. Also this does not happen when the systems primary IP is addressed directly but only when an IP on the loopback device is addressed through a load-balancer. I've also provisioned a linux guest on the same host and put that into the load balancer as well but there everything is fine. Has anyone run into this and can provide a pointer in the right direction? Regards, Dennis

[libvirt-users] passthrough filesystem (9p) permissions issues on Fedora 20
by David Mansfield 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hello All: I've gotten a passthrough filesystem to work (as in, to mount) in my vm (guest F20, host F20), but due to the fact that the qemu-kvm process runs as "qemu" user, I cannot access "my" files from the share. Both the guest and the host are running SSSD so the user/group mapping is identical. Other than putting 'user = "root"' it /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, is there a way to get this to work without trashing all of the file permissions on the directory? Even if I do put the user=root, I imagine selinux will become a major headache anyway. So is there a roadmap for how to get this working? -- Thanks, David Mansfield Cobite, INC.

[libvirt-users] Question regarding ssh and lxc
by Schulz, Arno 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

I'm trying to narrow down the source of a bug where a docker container sshd closes the connection after a successful authentication (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1085081) - filed with libvirt as there's no docker-io component for RHEL 6.5 in bugzilla. One of the steps I'm taking is to reproduce a similar setup using LXC but while it seemed to have worked I'm not sure I've properly reproduced the setup I would have with docker. I've based myself on the RHEL 7b Linux Container Guide 1. Created a HelloWorld containe based on the sample config file <domain type='lxc'> <name>test-container</name> <memory>102400</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/bin/sh</init> </os> <devices> <console type='pty'/> </devices> </domain> 2. Defined, started and connected to it using virsh 3. Obtained the ip and started sshd 4. And when I logged in via sshd I got the bash from the host Any assistance would be appreciated.

[libvirt-users] Issue with 1.2.3 and lxcCheckNetNsSupport
by Thierry Parmentelat 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi there I’ve just moved to libvirt-1.2.3 from 1.2.1; we use it for dealing with lxc containers I just wanted to report that everything went well for us with this new release, except for one little glitch At some point the lxc drivers seems to check that the kernel indeed has the netns feature built in Well in our environment this checks miserably fails; I haven’t been able to tell exactly why, but could find this post that might be related Bug 1050210 – lxcCheckNetNsSupport fails to detect NETNS As a quick workaround I have this patch below in place, with which everything else seems to be working fine; at least all our system tests are passing.. It feels like the way the 1.2.3 code checks for the presence of netns is clearly not exactly right (in our case selinux is disabled), and I wish a more reliable solution can be found in the future :) Hope this helps — Thanks in any case

After call virConnectOpen virEventRegisterDefaultImpl() call virConnectSetKeepAlive returns VirtError(1): internal error: the caller doesn't support keepalive protocol; perhaps it's missing event loop implementation, but the next call this sequence of commands returns success. Why virConnectSetKeepAlive not work right the first time? -- Fl@sh

Hi The problem is after I successful live migrate a domain, the domain os become read-only. and when I use qemu-img to show the disk info at node which domain current running , the command return 'Permission denied'. BUT, I can use qemu-img show the disk info at the previous node. My Env: two node, all install libvirt + kvm . use glusterfs as shared storage. the libvirt/kvm version: libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.5.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.6.x86_64 qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.6.x86_64 glusterfs-3.4.1-3.el6.x86_64 -------------- lyz_pro 2014-04-02
