[libvirt-users] A RFE for libvirt
by shyu 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hi libvirt guys, I am an newbie to libvirt. There is an requirement for libvirt: Every time I want to rename an guest by virsh command, I need to virsh edit origin_guest(edit the name,delete/edit the uuid) after that a new guest with the same configuration as origin_guest was defined, then virsh undefine origin_guest. Seems it's a little complex, so should be there an virsh command like "virsh rename origin_guest new_guest"? I know I can use virt-manager to rename an guest,but if there is an virsh command can do it, I think it's much useful. Thanks -- Regards shyu

[libvirt-users] Automatically assign static ipv4 via dhcp to new VMs
by Tim 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hi guys, I'm running a KVM/libvirt host in a datacenter and got a fancy IPv4 subnet from my provider. I'm able to assign IPs from that subnet via dhcp to my VMs: host01 ~ # virsh net-dumpxml internet <network connections='3'> <name>internet</name> <uuid>37b888cc-510f-46f1-9246-346da96222ed</uuid> <forward dev='enp5s0f0' mode='route'> <interface dev='enp5s0f0'/> </forward> <bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0'/> <mac address='52:54:00:13:39:d5'/> <ip address='XX.YY.253.2' netmask='255.255.255.224'> <dhcp> <range start='XX.YY.253.4' end='XX.YY.253.30'/> <bootp file='pxelinux.0' server='XX.YY.99.100'/> </dhcp> </ip> </network> What I would like to do: 1) Right know it seems like dnsmasq assigns ip-addresses randomly to VMs, is there any way to assign them in ascending order? 2) IPs are not statically assigned. Is it possible to add something like this automatically at the first VM-start to the xml definition?: <host mac='AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' ip='192.168.122.2' name='foobar'/>

[libvirt-users] Installing tcp/ssh drivers for libvirt
by Shiva Bhanujan 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hello, Can somebody please point me to documentation regarding installing libvirt and the associated drivers from .rpms? I tried to compile from sources, but not sure where can I get the drivers from. What I get from the ./configure script is the following - configure:71547: Drivers configure:71549: configure:71551: Xen: no configure:71553: QEMU: yes configure:71555: UML: yes configure:71557: OpenVZ: yes configure:71559: VMware: yes configure:71561: VBox: yes configure:71563: XenAPI: no configure:71565: xenlight: no configure:71567: LXC: no configure:71569: PHYP: no configure:71571: ESX: no configure:71573: Hyper-V: no configure:71575: Parallels: no configure:71577: Test: yes configure:71579: Remote: yes configure:71581: Network: yes configure:71583: Libvirtd: yes configure:71585: Interface: no configure:71587: macvtap: no configure:71589: virtport: no If there were a yum repository where I could download the daemon and the drives, that'd be great? Any advice would be appreciated. Regards, Shiva

[libvirt-users] Unable to provision VM attaching it directly to a OVS bridge
by Lucas Brasilino 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Reposting from virt-tools mailing list: Hi! I'm facing a problem that could be triggered by some lacking of support from libvirt on Open vSwitch (or could be my mistake). I have interests in researching on virtual networks and SDN. To keep things simple, I've decided to use libvirt/virt-tools to manage VM's since my focus is on the network, instead of using a full feature system like OpenStack. I'm quite new with libvirt/virt-tools, but I have a good experience with openvswitch and other virtualizations technologies (which I dropped in libvirt/kvm favor). I'm using Fedora 19 packages openvswitch (1.11.0-1.fc19.x86_64) libvirt (1.0.5.6-3.fc19.x86_64) virt-install (0.10.0-4.fc19.noarch) I've created an OVS bridge (databr0) outside libvirt, and then defined it inside libvirt with: <network> <name>databr0</name> <forward mode='bridge'/> <bridge name='databr0'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'/> </network> And then 'net-autostart' and 'net-start' it with virsh. Now I've got: # virsh net-list Name State Autostart Persistent ---------------------------------------------------------- databr0 active yes yes When I try to provision an VM, if I use the virt-install option "--network=bridge:databr0,model=virtio,mac=00:00:00:00:00:03" I got the following error: # virt-install --connect qemu:///system --virt-type kvm --name vm2 --ram 768 --disk path=/home/lucas/local/vm/images/vm2.img --vnc --cdrom /home/lucas/local/vm/fc19-x86_64.iso --network=bridge:databr0,model=virtio,mac=00:00:00:00:00:03 --os-type=linux --os-variant fedora19 Starting install... ERROR Unable to add bridge databr0 port vnet0: Operation not supported Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///system start vm2 otherwise, please restart your installation. I just managed to create a VM when I use '--nonetworks' option and after I do a 'virtsh edit vm2' and add: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:00:00:00:00:03'/> <source bridge='databr0'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </interface> Well, I read elsewhere that openvswitch bridging isn't fully supported. Is it the case or I'm facing another kind of problem ? regards Att Lucas Brasilino MSc Student @ Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) twitter: @lucas_brasilino

[libvirt-users] Is it possible to define serial port speed?
by Marco André Dinis 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hi I would like to know if it's possible to define serial port speed using libvirt. I'm trying to connect the guest with the host for communication. Usually only small messages are transferred, but i might need to transfer huge files, so i would like to know if i can use SerialPort interface to do that. Thanks anyway, Marco Dinis

[libvirt-users] Automated hashdeep and upgrade for VMs
by Sean Alexandre 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Are there any utilities or scripts that automate the process of upgrading VMs, along with other maintenance such as doing a hashdeep check of system files? The key features I'm looking for would do something like: - A: Shut down VM. - B: Do a hashdeep check of system files. - C: Optionally restore VM from a previous backup. - D: Restart VM. - E: Upgrade packages. - F: Shut down VM. - G: Backup VM (for next "C".) - H: Run hashdeep on system files (for next "B".) - I: Restart VM. Other features, but less important, would backup/restore application files as well.

Re: [libvirt-users] kvm/libvirt can't use vmdk files? qemu: 'vmdk' invalid format

[libvirt-users] help with VM migration problem: getfd, SCM_RIGHTS
by Joe Linoff 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hi, I am getting the following error when I try to migrate two VM's on my network using virt-manager: Unable to migrate guest: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'getfd': No file descriptor supplied via SCM_RIGHTS All of the other VM's work just fine. There are 18 and I tested all of them. Version info OS: CentOS 6.4 (2.6.32-358.23.2) [the hypervisors and the guests] Compiled against library: libvirt 0.10.2 Using library: libvirt 0.10.2 Using API: QEMU 0.10.2 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.1 It looks like this might be related to bug 731243 in the red hat bug DB but that was for 0.9.4. If it is related to SELinux permissions, where can I look to fix it? I ran "sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log" on the source hypervisor, the destination hypervisor and on the VM itself but no alerts were reported. Any hints would be greatly appreciated, I am not sure what to try next. Thanks, Joe

[libvirt-users] Create RBD Format 2 disk images with qemu-image
by Jon 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hello, I would like to use RBD Format 2 images so I can take advantage of layering. However, when I use "qemu-img create -f rbd rbd:data/foo 10G", I get format 1 RBD images. (Actually, when I use the "-f rbd" flag, qemu-img core dumps, but it looks like that feature may have been deprecated [1]) Is there any way to have qemu-img create RBD Format 2 images or am I better off using `rbd` to create the image then booting from the disk and performing the install, etc.? Thanks for the assist. Best Regards, Jon A [1] http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2013-June/002131.html

[libvirt-users] Building XML from working qemu command-line for ARM virtio

18 Oct '13

Hello, I've got a working QEMU command line that I am trying to get into a libvirt dom xml and using domxml-from-native doesn't seem to know how to handle all of it. It's for ARM using some new virtio syntax: qemu-system-arm -machine virt -cpu cortex-a15 -enable-kvm -m 512 -kernel mach-virt-guest-3.11-zImage -display none -serial stdio -netdev type=user,id=mynet -device virtio-net-device,netdev=mynet -drive index=0,id=mydrive,file=saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf.img -device virtio-blk-device,drive=mydrive -initrd saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf-initrd-lpae -append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda" Does anyone have any suggestions for converting the rest of it, specifically the -netdev, -drive, and -device params?

Hi I am using Libvirt 1.1.2 with Openstack Havana (RC2, nova-network) and openvswitch 1.4.2+git20120612-9.1. Libvirt vif driver ( nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtGenericVIFDriver) generates config likes this: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='fa:16:3e:44:30:a4'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='nova-instance-instance-000003d8-fa163e0b07a7'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> and instance fails to start with: 2013-10-16 11:16:13.004+0000: 11943: info : virNetDevProbeVnetHdr:122 : Enabling IFF_VNET_HDR 2013-10-16 11:16:13.105+0000: 11943: error : virNetDevBridgeAddPort:370 : Unable to add bridge br0 port vnet0: Operation not supported If I add <virtualport type='openvswitch' /> inside <interface type='bridge'>...</interface> it seems to work fine. Is it nova-network or libvirt bug or some misconfiguration? regards -- Maciej Gałkiewicz Shelly Cloud Sp. z o. o., Sysadmin http://shellycloud.com/, macias(a)shellycloud.com KRS: 0000440358 REGON: 101504426

[libvirt-users] libvirt_lxc: "reboot -f" causes libvirt_lxc process to stop, but domain is still "running" for libvirt
by Florian Klink 16 Oct '13

Hi, I have a libvirt_lxc system container (with systemd). After running "reboot -f" inside the container, I get "Rebooting.\n". htop shows that the libvirt_lxc and all subprocesses are stopped, but from libvirt api/virsh/virt-manager, the domain is still "running". So it looks like libvirtd doesn't detect that libvirt_lxc process was stopped... Florian

Hi, I am trying to get some VMs running under qemu-kvm. At some point the VM starts, but then they shutdown by themselves and I see those messages in the log: 2013-10-11 18:28:57.165+0000: 4148: error : qemuMonitorIO:615 : internal error: End of file from monitor 2013-10-11 18:28:57.165+0000: 4148: debug : qemuMonitorIO:648 : Error on monitor internal error: End of file from monitor Any ideas what could cause this behavior? I am running Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 with libvirt 1.1.1 and qemu-kvm 1.5.0. -- Francois Gaudreault Architecte de Solution Cloud | Cloud Solutions Architect fgaudreault(a)cloudops.com 514-629-6775 - - - CloudOps 420 rue Guy Montréal QC H3J 1S6 www.cloudops.com @CloudOps_

[libvirt-users] virDomainGetCPUStats missing in Java API bindings ?
by Atul Gosain 15 Oct '13

Hi All I am trying to get the performance statistics for KVM using Java bindings. I found some api's for getting memory stats but not able to find any for cpu stats. I found virDomainGetCPUStats which look like its going to return cpu stats for a VM at http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html and http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html . I couldnt find these methods getting called from java source too. Which libvirt version does Java API correspond to ? I m using Java API 0.5.1 . If i want to get the virDomainGetCPUStats which is available from 0.9.x versions of libvirt, whats the way to get it in Java API bindings. Thanks Atul
