Dear All, Please find few minutes from your time and guide us with some pointers if possible. We are facing a libvirtd crash when we are trying to connect to qemu by default TLS transport. i.e libvirt crash when trying to inquiry libvirt version using curl with TLS # virsh -c qemu+tls://localhost/system version error: authentication failed: TLS handshake failed A TLS packet with unexpected length was received. error: failed to connect to the hypervisor We used our own CA and certificates on both Kontron PC and our board.

[libvirt-users] How can I open a libvirt remote connection with ssh
by Wangkai (Kevin,C) 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi, When I use 'virConnectOpenAuth' function to connect to '192.168.1.102' libvirtd with ssh, Code below, the screen print the dialog "root(a)192.168.1.102's password:" , and only After I type the password, the connection can be created. How can I connect to libvirtd with ssh automatically? No need to type the password manually. char *au[2] = {"root", "xxxx"}; virConnectAuth auth = { credTypes, sizeof(credTypes) / sizeof(int), virConnCb,/* callback function, actually was not be called after connect*/ au /* user and password */ }; conn = virConnectOpenAuth("qemu+ssh://192.168.1.102/system", &auth, 0); Thanks, Kevin

[libvirt-users] performance tradeoffs/penalty
by lejeczek 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

hi everybody a newbie here, hoping some experienced users/expert can honestly answer this one question, and I think I realize all other advantages libvirtoffer but simply performance, does libvirt make a user pay penalty, even if only a small amount, for using it when compared to raw qemu-kvm command line? if it does where the overhead goes? quest or host, or maybe both? lastly if overall performance is slower then how small it is comparing to all the advantages it offers? many thanks and apologies if this subject was answered already in the past

[libvirt-users] Filesystem passthrough of a Lustre mounted directory
by Tatiana Kichkaylo 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi, I am trying to pass a Lustre directory mounted on the host to the guest. I can pass a local directory in just fine when starting an instance via virsh. I can execute the qemu command from libvirt's logs (dropping –S flag) directly, and passing the Lustre mounted directory also works (but the network complains about different MAC address). However, when I start an instance using virsh, the mount inside the guest succeeds, and ls works sometimes, but everything else (cat, touch, actual edit) on any file in the mounted directory gives "Identifier removed" after some delay. Is libvirt doing something beyond just calling qemu that can cause this problem? And how do I get around it? The host is RedHat 6.1, libvirt 1.0.3, qemu 1.4.50.

[libvirt-users] Problem with net-define using Open vSwitch bridge
by Will Dennis 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi all, I used "net-define" to create a network to use to attach VMs to an Open vSwitch bridge. The net-define worked fine, I can see the network in "net-list" (I set it to started and to autostart) but when I try to attach a new VM's NIC to this network (via virt-manager), I'm getting the following traceback: Unable to complete install: 'Unable to add bridge vl10-ovsbr0 port vnet0: Operation not supported' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 96, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1943, in do_install guest.start_install(False, meter=meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1249, in start_install noboot) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1317, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2606, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: Unable to add bridge vl10-ovsbr0 port vnet0: Operation not supported I'm going to assume the problem is that the bridge is not a linux bridge, but an Open vSwitch bridge. But I did have a line in the XML file that I used for net-define as follows: <virtualport type='openvswitch'/> But when I ran net-define, it failed to create the network with the error: XML error: unexpected virtualport type -1 Removing that line and re-running the net-define worked, as I have stated above. How do I tell libvirt that this bridge is an Open vSwitch bridge and not a regular Linux bridge? Thanks, Will

[libvirt-users] Issue with macvtap bridge and forwarding
by Matt LaPlante 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

I have three hosts running Ubuntu 12.04 (libvirt 0.9.8). The configuration is one host running on bare metal while the other two are KVM guests. The first guest is my network router. It has a direct connection to a physical nic going out to the internet, and a bridged connection to a nic for the lan. The host has ip forwarding enabled and forwards my lan traffic back and forth to the internet. The second host is a "lan" machine, which is also on the bridged lan nic. There are several other physical hosts also on the switched lan network this nic connects to. Both hosts are configured on the lan tap as follows (different mac): <interface type='direct'> <mac address='13:54:21:1f:f3:42'/> <source dev='eth1' mode='bridge'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> Everything on the firewall host seems to work OK. Hosts elsewhere on the LAN can connect to it, and they have no problem routing through it and out to the internet and back. That is, traffic passes through both nics and this host successfully. The other guest can also be reached successfully from machines on the LAN. I can ping it and I can ssh to it. I also note that it seems to be able to be able to talk to the "router" host over the vtap bridge: it can perform dns lookups against the router host, and they can seem to reach each other's ports. Where I'm getting stuck is that for whatever reason, the second guest apparently cannot reach the internet via my router host. It's the only host anywhere on the lan that apparently can't pass forwarding traffic via the router guest, and the only common feature appears to be the macvtap bridge. This issue *does not* happen when using a common linux bridge in the otherwise same configuration and the same hosts. In the linux bridge scenario, the lan guest forwards traffic via the router guest fine. But when switching to the macvtap configuration, suddenly the lan guest no longer forwards traffic via the router guest and out to the internet. What appears to be happening is that the traffic is crossing the bridge, but the router host does not classify it or masq it properly, and it never makes the internet trip as expected. Further extending my suspicions, initiating an outbound http connection does not raise an entry in the conntrack table on the router for the problem host. So my question is, what is it about macvtap bridge that would cause traffic coming over via the tap bridge to be routed differently than traffic coming *up* the bridge from the physical interface, or via a traditional linux bridge?

[libvirt-users] How to device port on the controller
by Daniele Testa 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi, I am adding a disk to my KVM virtual server, but for some reason it refuses to honor the <address> I have tried the following 3: <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='phy' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd2'/> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> <serial>my-fake-serial</serial> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='3' unit='2'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='phy' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd2'/> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> <serial>my-fake-serial</serial> <address type='pci' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='phy' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd2'/> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> <serial>my-fake-serial</serial> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='8'/> </disk> I would assume the last one is the one to use, as I am using a "virtio" bus. However, the <address> attribute is simply ignored and the disk is always attached as this: pci-0000:00:05.0 Further, how do I read the "my-fake-serial" from within the virtual machine? I have tried using this: udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/vdb) But it does not show the serial string there anywhere. Regards, Daniele

[libvirt-users] libvirt, selinux, moving images to ~/images does not work
by Alexey Kardashevskiy 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi! I am trying libvirt on POWERPC64 with the default settings such as selinux enabled. It is all good till I move images out of /var/lib/libvirt/images/. http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html#securityselinux is saying that "If attempting to use disk images in another location, the user/administrator must ensure the directory has be given this requisite label. Likewise physical block devices must be labelled system_u:object_r:virt_image_t.". So did I: [root@vpl2 ~]# ls -dlZ /home/aik/virtimg /var/lib/libvirt/images drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0 /home/aik/virtimg drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0 /var/lib/libvirt/images [root@vpl2 ~]# ls -lZ /home/aik/virtimg /var/lib/libvirt/images /home/aik/virtimg: -rwxrwxrwx. root root system_u:object_r:virt_content_t:s0 Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images: -rwxrwxrwx. root root system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0 fc18guest However "virsh -c qemu:///system create libvirtguest-aik.xml" failes with "avc: denied { dac_override }" and "avc: denied { dac_read_search }". Also, there is "user system_u is not defined" in /var/log/messages what is confusing as "semanage user -l" says it is there. If I simply move Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso to /var/lib/libvirt/images, the problem goes away and everything works fine. I am running custom build 3.8 kernel and libvirt from git ("eebbb23 qemu: support URI syntax for NBD"). More detailed output is below, this is all from the host system. What do I miss? Thank you.

[libvirt-users] VNC Server in libvirt
by Jaime Loureiro Acuña 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

My name is Jaime Loureiro and I work in the Network & Applications area in University of Vigo. I am writing to you hoping you can help me with some libvirt graphics issues. I was analysing the source code of the libvirt in order to find how to access the display of each virtual machine. We are trying to generate a video streaming from the graphics content, though it is not easy to find what function is the most appropriate to do that. We tried to use the screenshot feature, but the rate is to low to generate a smooth streaming. I suposse the vnc server is reading the graphics output of each virtual machine at a low level, however I cannot find the exact point where the server is. Currently I am trying to understand the function "virDomainOpenGraphics" in libvirt.c and, at a lower level, the function "qemuProcessHandleGraphics" in qemu_process.c, but I 'm not sure if it is possible to get what we need from them. I would appreciate any help or clue you could provide regarding this issue. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards,

(root@h2)-(/tmp)# virsh dumpxml vps_99 <domain type='kvm' id='224'> <name>vps_99</name> <uuid>5e24e17c-f0e4-1030-ac57-0050560018a2</uuid> <memory>524288</memory> <currentMemory>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.12'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>restart</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd1'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd2'/> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd3'/> <target dev='vde' bus='virtio'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd4'/> <target dev='vdg' bus='virtio'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd5'/> <target dev='vdi' bus='virtio'/> </disk> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:50:56:00:1b:24'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet3'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5999' autoport='no' keymap='en-us'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> </video> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='apparmor'> <label>libvirt-5e24e17c-f0e4-1030-ac57-0050560018a2</label> <imagelabel>libvirt-5e24e17c-f0e4-1030-ac57-0050560018a2</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain> (root@h2)-(/tmp)# cat disk.xml <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/nbd5'/> <target dev='vdi' bus='virtio'/> </disk> (root@h2)-(/tmp)# virsh detach-device vps_99 disk.xml error: Failed to detach device from disk.xml error: operation failed: disk vdi cannot be detached - no PCI address for device (root@h2)-(/tmp)# virsh detach-disk vps_99 vdi error: operation failed: disk vdi cannot be detached - no PCI address for device I have tried specifing a <address> for each disk, ie: address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> However, I still get the same "no PCI" error. I am able to add and remove NEW disks to the virtual server after it has been started, but I can't detach the disks that were defined when the KVM was created (even though it looks exactly the same in the XML-file). ISSUE 2: When I add a disk to a KVM running linux (ubuntu in this case), it totally ignores my "target dev". I.e if I specify this: <target dev='vdi' bus='virtio'/> The disk is still being detected as "vdc". Removing the disk and adding it again, gives it "vdd" etc. So it seems it is pretty much just increamenting the letter and totally ignore my config. I read in the documentation that the target defined is just a "hint" for the system and is not always honered, but sorry, I simply cannot accept that :) There must be a way to specify the device the disk should be connected to. Amazon Web Services seems to be able to do this just fine. It will be a pain to write automated scripts when new disks are just attached to random devices. Regards, Daniele

Hi there. Can somebody please confirm if the url to install an Ubuntu Server is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/installer-amd64/ ? If not kindly provide the right one. I want to perform a net installation, rather than point to an .iso image. Regards. Javier
