[libvirt-users] VirtFS accessmode
by Lanati, Matteo 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Hi all, I'm trying to share a folder between a host and a guest using VirtFS. The source is NAS mounted on the host and QEMU runs as unprivileged user. The only way for me to use the folder inside the guest is to set the access mode to 'squash' but all file operations are performed by the user running QEMU. If I ran QEMU as root, the passthrough mode works as expected. Is there the possibility to configure the passthrough access also for non-root users?

[libvirt-users] VM Creation Timestamp
by Tony Atkinson 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Hello, Is there any way to query libvirt, ideally through virsh CLI utility or similar, to get a timestamp of when a VM was created. Or to put it another way, a timestamp of when a domain's UUID was allocated. Many thanks, -- Tony Atkinson

Hello, I created lxc container on F19 with virt-manager and it starts OK. The only problem is that sshd does not run complaining "/dev/null is not a character device". # ls -l /dev/null -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2014-02-25 22:39 /dev/null /sys/fs/cgroup/devices/machine/VM_NAME.libvirt-lxc/devices.list has "c 1:3 rwm" line, but I cannot create /dev/null: # mknod /dev/nulll c 1 3 mknod: `/dev/nulll': Operation not permitted Thanks, Nerijus

[libvirt-users] Problems with tls connection when ran with user privileges
by Pasquale Dir 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

I set up my certificates, ca client and server, as described in your documentation: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TLSCreateServerCerts. I followed it step by step so it must be ok. However, when I run virsh -c qemu://192.168.1.2/system and I try a command like list --all I get: error: impossible connect to the hypervisor errore: no valid connection errore: Unable to set x509 CA certificate: /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem: Error while reading file. If I run the same command with root privileges: virsh -c qemu://192.168.1.2/system everything works, anyway I get this warning too: 2014-02-26 13:03:25.035+0000: 10825: info : libvirt version: 1.1.1 2014-02-26 13:03:25.035+0000: 10825: warning : virNetTLSContextCheckCertKeyPurpose:364 : Certificate /etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem purpose does not allow use for with a TLS client I don't know if it is a problem, I need to live migrate machines... Anyway, main problem is that I don't want to run virsh with root privileges. Where the problem is?

[libvirt-users] assigning a single IP to the guest with "typical" hosting provider
by Tomasz Chmielewski 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

I have a server with a hosting company, Hetzner. The servers at this hosting company have a public IP, let's say, A.B.C.D/255.255.255.x. Additionally, one can order extra IPs like below: 1) additional subnet (let's say X.Y.Z.0 / 28) 2) single IP (let's say, E.F.G.H) With additional subnet, assigning the IP to libvirt guest is simple: - assign X.Y.Z.1 on the host - assign X.Y.Z.2 to the guest, with X.Y.Z.1 gateway - done, works fine. However, I'm having problems assigning a single IP to the guest (when there is no extra subnet on the host, but just an extra IP): - if I assign E.F.G.H/255.255.255.255 to the host, the IP is reachable from the internet - if I assign E.F.G.H to the guest (with a proper gateway), the guest is not able to communicate with the internet. Which networking mode should I use in this setup? Bridge, macvtap? I've tried both, without success (i.e. in macvtap mode, arp who-has are passed from the guest to the gateway, replies received on the host, but they are not passed to the guest). Has anyone ever set libvirt with a "typical" hosting provider, when only an extra IP, from a non-host subnet, is available for a guest? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

If it is true, do I have to just wait? https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/want-help-dont-email-me-directly/ Or you could look into the source code and provide a patch; but discussing this on the list is a better way to get a reaction from someone familiar with the xen code. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org Ah, I forgot to add libvirt-users in Cc... sorry. The thing I found today is that if libvirt uses xend driver, shutdown events are delivered, but if libvirt uses libxl drvier, doesn't show up anything. It seems there are bugs on shutdown event, so I did dig into the libvirt source briefly, but I couldn't find where libxl driver calls event callback. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Especially someone who is familiar with xen code.

[libvirt-users] Problems with qemu-system-arm and isa-serial
by Niccolo Rigacci 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, I'm trying to use libvirt for an armel virtual machine hosted into an x86_64 box. I know the command line to start qemu-system-arm directly, but I cannot figure a proper .xml configuration file to let libvirt do this job. The main problem is that I want a serial console attached via telnet, this is the Qemu incantation: -serial telnet::4000,server,nowait,nodelay Wahtever I do in libvirt, I get this paramter added: -device isa-serial which causes Qemu to fail: qemu-system-arm -M versatileab -device isa-serial \ -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-versatile qemu-system-arm: -device isa-serial: No 'ISA' bus found for device 'isa-serial' How can I instead have -device pl011, or just have the default devices provided by qemu-system-arm, i.e. to prevent libvirt from adding the -nodefaults switch?

[libvirt-users] libvirt_lxc namespace and umount in global namespace
by Olivier Nicaise 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, I am currently having an issue with the libvirt_lxc binary that is launched when starting a lxc instance using libvirt. This process seems to have its own namespace for mounts. What happens is that if I umount something in the global namespace, it stays mounted in the libvirt_lxc namespace. I'm working with drbd, and after unmounting the mount point, I want to change the state of the drbd resource as Secondary. But if fails. Indeed, libvirt_lxc has still the resource which is mounted in its namespace. Currently, I wanted to test the setns tool to enter the namespace and umount the mount point. But I am currently on Ubuntu 12.04 with a 3.2.0-59 kernel which does not have /proc/[pid]/ns/mnt I can't upgrade to 3.8 (which have the proc mnt file) as the drbd tools are not compatible. Do you have an idea of what I could try ? Here I the steps I do to reproduce the issue: - Mount a drbd file system - Start a lxc instance with libvirt - Umount the drbd file system - Set the drbd resource as secondary. => Does not work

[libvirt-users] Networkfilters in Routed setup
by h0rst 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hello! Since i could not find any information on the internet about this subject, i'm going to try my luck on this list. I'm trying to setup network-filter on a routed setup. I have a root-server at Hetzner, a german hosting provider. Along with my server i ordered a (/28) subnet to be able to setup dedicated IPs for my virtual machines (KVM). My Server is running Ubuntu 12.04 with libvirt 0.9.8 . Since Hetzner does not allow any bridged traffic, i had to setup a routed network. Currently my (via libvirt) defined network looks like this: (lets assume my subnet is 1.2.3.64/28): <network> <name>hetzner-subnet-v4</name> <forward dev='eth0' mode='route'> <interface dev='eth0'/> </forward> <bridge name='route-br0' stp='off' delay='0' /> <mac address='52:54:00:F0:D0:AA'/> <ip address='1.2.3.65' netmask='255.255.255.240'></ip> </network> The network definition for all running VMs looks like this: <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:00:00:##'/> <source network='hetzner-subnet-v4'/> </interface> Without using Network-Filters, this setup is running as expected. All traffic is correctly forwarded to my virtual machines connected to "route-br0" and the following iptables-rules are created in the FORWARD Chain: Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) target prot opt in out source destination ACCEPT all -- eth0 route-br0 0.0.0.0/0 1.2.3.64/28 ACCEPT all -- route-br0 eth0 1.2.3.64/28 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT all -- route-br0 route-br0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 REJECT all -- * route-br0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- route-br0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable When i try to setup a network-filter for a VM (a modified version of http://libvirt.org/formatnwfilter.html last example): <filter name='server-x' chain='root'> <filterref filter='clean-traffic'/> <rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='500'> <all state='ESTABLISHED'/> </rule> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'> <all state='ESTABLISHED,RELATED'/> </rule> <rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='500'> <tcp state='NEW' dstportstart='22'/> </rule> <rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'> <all state='NEW'/> </rule> <rule action='drop' direction='inout' priority='500'> <all/> </rule> </filter> and adding the filter to my interface-definition of a VM using the following syntax: <filterref filter='server-x'> <parameter name='IP' value='1.2.3.70'/> </filterref> additional iptable-rules are getting created. The problematic rule seems to be the following: -A libvirt-out -m physdev --physdev-out vnetX -g FO-vnetX which should trigger the following rules: -A FO-vnetX -p all -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FO-vnetX -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT But this actually never happens. The FO-vnetX Chain never sees any packets and my syslog says: xt_physdev: using --physdev-out in the OUTPUT, FORWARD and POSTROUTING chains for non-bridged traffic is not supported anymore Am i doing something wrong? I hope i did not write too much useless stuff here. I'm tried to figure it all out by myself, but im currently stuck. Lets hope some wise guys can help me out here. Maybe there is some documentation i have missed? Thanks! kind regards, Sebastian

Hi list I am trying to understand the containers in red hat 7, and i have following questions: 1) Would it be possible to run an tftp server inside an container ? 2) Can i have containers binding to vlans on the host, so that i can have containers with overlapping IP networks, but in different vlans ? What i am trying to achieve is 10 containers with an tftp server inside, where the containers are on isolated IP networks via vlans. Thomas

FYI on this program: This program consists of three main scripts that are run via cron. 2 run every 5 minutes, and 1 runs every minute. The two scripts that are executed every 5 minutes rely heavily on the virsh command. However, it is made so that the simultaneous number of connections to libvirt is not too large; the max number of libvirt-sock connections at any given moment does not go over 6. As it is a domain monitoring program, it only executes the following virsh commands: virsh list --all virsh dominfo virsh domblklist virsh domblkstat virsh domiflist virsh domifstat 9.) other related server settings 9-1) user resource limits [root@ ~]# ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 773493 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 32768 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited 9-2) libvirtd.conf The following settings have been changed: #max_clients = 20 max_clients = 250 #max_workers = 20 max_workers = 250 #max_requests = 20 max_requests = 250 Regards, Minami

[libvirt-users] F20 Virt-Manager with MacVTap not working
by John Obaterspok 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hello, I've setup a VM with default networking (NAT) and this works fine but hosts on my LAN can't get to the VM since it uses NAT. When I try to set network to use MacVTap with either default or bridged I get no networking for the VM. Any hints around this? I would like to have the VM's on the same LAN as my host and other machines. I don't care if the VM host can't reach the guests. It did work find in F19 but there I believe I had more MacVtap devices to choose from. -- john

[libvirt-users] Help? Running into problems with migrateToURI2() and virDomainDefCheckABIStability()
by Chris Friesen 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hi, We've run into a problem with libvirt 1.1.2 and are looking for some comments on whether this is a bug or design intent. We're trying to use migrateToURI() but we're using a few things (numatune, vcpu mask, etc.) that may need adjustment during the migration. We found that migrateToURI2() mostly works if we use XML created by copying the domain XML from the running instance and modifying the appropriate sections. The problem that we're seeing is that the serial console checking in libvirt/src/conf/domain_conf.c::virDomainDefCheckABIStability() is failing even though we haven't touched the serial console XML: 2014-02-10 19:41:07.196 1264 ERROR nova.virt.libvirt.driver [-] [instance: 42a841a8-034f-4565-937e-adb396a2ec48] Live Migration failure: unsupported configuration: Target domain console count 1 does not match source 0 On occasion it passes if the devices/serial/source element happens to be the same after migration, but this seems to be a fluke. If we remove the devices/serial/source element in the XML it seems to make the serial console check work on the first migration, but upon doing subsequent migration it fails with a console count error: 2014-02-07 16:11:32.459 28759 ERROR nova.virt.libvirt.driver [-] [instance: 1d7c470d-4337-450a-8a40-d0fb375ca2c1] Live Migration failure: unsupported configuration: Target domain console count 0 does not match source 1 Are we doing something wrong? Is there an issue with the console check code? Is there a better way to do what we're trying to do? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks, Chris

[libvirt-users] Can you verify currently defined libvirt secret provides valid Cephx auth?
by Scott Sullivan 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

As the subject suggests, I am wondering if its possible to verify if the currently defined libvirt secret provides valid authentication via Cephx to a Ceph cluster? I ask because ideally I would like to verify that the given cephx credentials in my libvirt secret are valid before I even attempt the virsh attach-device on the domain. I tried searching for a solution to this, but I can't seem to find a way to _just_ check if the currently defined libvirt secret provides valid authentication to the Ceph cluster or not. Is this possible?

[libvirt-users] LXC container driver
by arnaud gaboury 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Dear all, I am slowly building a Arch Linux VM guest on my Arch Linux host. The guest machine is now built and is recognized as shown by this command : gabx@hortensia ➤➤ ~ % machinectl list MACHINE CONTAINER SERVICE dahlia container nspawn 1 machines listed. I an following the libvirt.org documentation. Now, according this page[1] about lxc driver, i am dealing with namespace requirements. This sentence, in bold, puzzles me: A suitably configured UID/GID mapping is a pre-requisite to making containers secure, in the absence of sVirt confinement. If I understand what a namespace is, I have no idea how to make sure my UIG/GID mapping is well configured. I would appreciate having any hints abut this part of the settings. Another question : is there any advantage/disadvantage using the lxc Userspace tools[2] instead of libvirt to manage these namespaces ? Thank you for help.
