[libvirt-users] Specifying the KVM binary to use with libvirt
by Alexander Lyakas 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

Greetings everybody, I am running stock ubuntu-natty with kernel 2.6.38-8, KVM 0.14.0 and libvirt 0.8.8. I am spawning virtual machines with libvirt. I would like to test a new KVM version built aside without installing it over existing KVM. Is there a way to tell libvirt which KVM binary to pick up? I've been searching and saw that QEMU driver looks in /usr/bin for KVM executable. Is there a way to adjust that? Thanks, Alex.

[libvirt-users] Constantly changing USB product ID
by Jaap Winius 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi folks, Recently I learned how to configure libvirt with USB pass-though functionality. In my case I configured my guest domain with this block of code: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x0c93'/> <product id='0x1772'/> <address bus='1' device='4'/> </source> </hostdev> At first this worked fine, but then later the guest domain refused to start because the USB device was absent. When I checked, I found that its product ID had mysteriously changed to 1771. Later it was back at 1772. Now it appears that the USB device I am dealing with has a product ID that changes back and forth between 1771 and 1772 at random. Apparently, the Windows program running on the guest domain is designed to deal with this nonsense, but the question is, Can the guest domain be configured to deal with it? Something like <product id='0x177?'/> would be useful, but that doesn't work, nor does omitting the product tag. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jaap

[libvirt-users] Problems with nwfilters/iptables
by Nicolai Stange 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi all, I've got a problem with nwfilters/iptables. For one of my guest's interfaces, I have established the following filter: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- <filter name='p-mgmt' chain='root'> <uuid>94fdd15b-b380-ba8c-6685-91206829adc7</uuid> <filterref filter='clean-traffic'/> <rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='500'> <tcp dstportstart='22'/> </rule> <rule action='drop' direction='inout' priority='1000'> <all/> </rule> </filter> </filter>--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The intent is to allow incoming ssh only. However, ssh from my host to my guest does not work. This is the relevant iptables excerpt with the filter given as above: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- root:~# iptables -L HI-vnet5 Chain HI-vnet5 (1 references) target prot opt source destination RETURN tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp spt:ssh state ESTABLISHED ctdir ORIGINAL DROP all -- anywhere anywhere root:~# --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The chain relations are: INPUT -> libvirt-host-in -> HI-vnet5. The interesting thing is: If I insert the same rule again, but with ctdir reversed, everything works just fine: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- root:~# iptables -I HI-vnet5 1 -p tcp --sport 22 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -m conntrack --ctdir REPLY -j RETURN root:~# iptables -L HI-vnet5 Chain HI-vnet5 (1 references) target prot opt source destination RETURN tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp spt:ssh state ESTABLISHED ctdir REPLY RETURN tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp spt:ssh state ESTABLISHED ctdir ORIGINAL DROP all -- anywhere anywhere root:~# --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I am not an iptables expert, but if my guest's ssh daemon replies to my host's requests (and thus the packets are traversing my host's INPUT chain), I would guess that the direction is "REPLY" rather than "ORIGINAL". I'm really stuck with this and it would be really great if someone could clarify things to me! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2.0-20-generic) coming with libvirt 0.9.8-2ubuntu1. Best, Nicolai

[libvirt-users] Problem using virt-manager to create a VM remotely
by Dale Amon 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Well, not that remote. I'm trying to get it working from my laptop to an ancient workstation behind me I use for testing. I appear to get the connection okay. virt-manager --connect qemu+ssh://root@<host_ip>/system I can click on the entry on the panel that comes up and see facts about the remote machine. I then tried the "Create a new virtual machine" item on the tool bar. Fine so far. I get a nice looking panel for New VM and since this is just an experiment, I call it "test". The correct Connection is showing, ie the host ip (QEMU). I accept the default "Local install media (ISO or CDROM)" and go to the next panel. I take the "Use ISO Image" and then give it the full directory path and name of the iso on the remote machine <host_ip>. I have tried leaving OS Type and version Generic; I have also tried setting them to match the iso (an 11.10 i386 server). When I attempt to go forward, it gives me an error panel, "Error Setting install media location. Checking installer location failed: Could not find media '/KdevArchive1/ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso' On the off chance that it was trying to mount the iso from my laptop instead of the test machine, I have also tried pointing to the path of the same iso there as well with no joy. I am finding very little documentation on the GUI mode and none of it seems to give me any indication of what is going wrong. Ideas?

[libvirt-users] ARP entry intermittently is incorrect for guest - lose connectivity
by Trey Dockendorf 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

I've run into a problem on my KVM host where a single guest will be unreachable to other guests on the same host. This host has 2 bridged devices and guests assigned to each have the same issue. I've noticed that when I can't reach the problematic guest, the ARP entry for that system is incorrect. This issue seems to only be a problem about 75% of the time when making connections between the guests. I've checked the logs and haven't seen anything indicating a problem. Here's relavant information, if more is needed please let me know CentOS 6.2 x86_64 libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6_2.4 kernel-2.6.32-220.4.1.el6 # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.001b21a1cf76 no eth3 vnet0 # Problematic host vnet1 vnet3 vnet4 vnet5 br1 8000.001b21a1ce4d no eth2 vnet6 virbr0 8000.525400a050ba yes virbr0-nic vnet2 # ARP entry when it's the correct MAC <omitted>.tamu.edu ether 52:54:00:e0:1e:6f C eth0 # ARP entry when it's wrong and ping or other connections time out <omitted>.tamu.edu ether 00:1e:c9:bb:cd:d4 C eth0 The MAC ending in cd:d4 does not exist on any system on this network.

[libvirt-users] qemu-monitor-command
by Shawn Davis 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hello Everyone, I am working on a grad school project for virtual introspection. I have a vm running (with 512mb of memory) and want to access the pmemsave function through virsh with the qemu-monitor-command. I am typing the following: virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp Shawn 'pmemsave 0 536870912 image.dump' Shawn is the name of my vm and image.dump is the name of my output file. No matter what I do, I keep getting: Could not open 'image.dump' I have tried the above with sudo and with the absolute path of where the newly created dump file should go and I still get that error. Any help is appreciated as to how I should enter this command. If I type in virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp Shawn 'info mem' or any other command without an output path, it works fine and brings up information about my running vm. Regards, Shawn

[libvirt-users] simulate "network cable unplugged"
by David Mansfield 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hi All, Using the virt-manager/libvirtd/qemu-kvm stack (centos 6), is it possible to leave a NIC "installed" but cause it to simulate that the network cable is unplugged? Preferably this could be "hot" plugged/unplugged but otherwise doing it cold. Guest os is also centos 6, in case it matters (shouldn't). Any pointers? Thanks, David Mansfield Cobite, INC.

I believe you would need to run dedicated dnsmasq process instance per each VLAN that you have. By default I guess dnsmasq runs on virbr1, hence it does not see the tagged traffic that comes from vnet0. You could try to: add another port to that bridge with the same VLAN as VM has. And run a separate instance of dnsmasq there; or change the tag of virb1 port, but this might lead to other issues (e.g. then non-tagged VMs will not get DHCP leases). Perhaps someone else can suggest something easier... Greetings, Daniele Milani -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

Libvirt doesn't care about security during hot add disk images. It even accepts addition of disk images of other guest running on the host. Steps followed to create this scenario : Started two VMs with following security configurations: vm1: <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux' relabel='yes'> <label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c219,c564</label> <imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c219,c564</imagelabel> </seclabel> vm2 : <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux' relabel='yes'> <label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c122,c658</label> <imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c122,c658</imagelabel> </seclabel> # virsh list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------- 28 vm1 running 29 vm2 running # ls -lZ /var/lib/libvirt/images/ -rw-------. qemu qemu system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c219,c564 vm1.img -rw-------. qemu qemu system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c122,c658 vm2.img # ps auxZ | grep qemu-kvm | grep -v grep system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c219,c564 qemu 15744 47.2 5.8 2757852 472224 ?

[libvirt-users] MIPS emulation ....
by William A. Mahaffey III 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

.... When I query my qemu-mips under FC14 64-bit, libvirt.x86_64 0.8.3-10.fc14, qemu 2:0.13.0-1.fc14, I see the following: [root@Q6600:/etc, Wed Mar 21, 03:24 PM] 1022 # qemu-mips -cpu ? MIPS '4Kc' MIPS '4Km' MIPS '4KEcR1' MIPS '4KEmR1' MIPS '4KEc' MIPS '4KEm' MIPS '24Kc' MIPS '24Kf' MIPS '34Kf' [root@Q6600:/etc, Wed Mar 21, 03:24 PM] 1023 # I don't recognize any of these, I was hoping for either IPnn or R10k/12k/14k, etc. I would like to try to set up an SGI guest to run IRIX 5.3 or 6.5.nn to have availability of their compilers. Are these older CPUs supported under qemu-mips emulation ? Is there some crossover info on the above listed CPUs (i.e. one of these might in fact be what I need) ? Has anyone on-list done this ? How did it work out :-) ? TIA for any pointers .... -- William A.

[libvirt-users] Number of same HDD-Images
by BrnPnk 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hey, I set up a new kvm host. (Ubuntu 10.04 x64, up-to-date) I created a new vm with virt-manager and three hdd-images (raw-format): - 30 GB (System, virtio) - 1,7 TB (System, virtio) - 1,7 TB (System, virtio) The VM (whatever linux or windows) detects only two of them. When I change all to IDE -> same problem. But when change one to IDE and the others to virtio it works. Apparently only max two images of the same type are detected. What can I do to use three virtio-devices? Thanking in anticipation

[libvirt-users] XML syntax for "dir" attribute when making Host directory available to Windows guest
by Cameron Smith 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Hi, I have the following setup: Host: Ubuntu 10.04 Guest: Windows 2008 R2 Kernel: 2.6.32-40-generic virt-inst: 0.500.1-2ubuntu6.2 qemu-kvm: 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.18 All is working, however I would now like to share a given directory on the host with the guest. Using the "virsh edit" command I have prepared the following XML configuration snippet: <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/home/cameron/zip/hla'/> <target dir='/mnt/hla'/> </filesystem> My problem is the "target" element - what value should I use in the "dir" attribute, given that Windows drive paths do not follow Unix format (e.g. "F:\" versus "/mnt/hla"). Can any help? regards, cameron

[libvirt-users] error starting virtual machine manager

Hi Community, I encountered an error while launching the virtual machine manger. I believe that all services have been started including libvirtd, xend, xencommons, etc. But not sure the reason about this error. Here is the error information: Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)

[libvirt-users] libvirt and SNMP agent
by Ricardo Hillbrecht 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Hi all I'm working in a MIB to manage virtual machines using SNMP regardless of VMM manufacturer. To demonstrate this MIB, I plan to insert libvirt functions inside an SNMP agent (NET-SNMP agent). Does anyone know if there is some work using net-snmp and libvirt together, or can give advice about this ? Thanks Hillbrecht

[libvirt-users] Can libvirt set or change the IP address of guest machine
by Harold Fei 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

To Whom It May Concern: I use libvirt over one month, I need a function to set the ip address of the guest machine. One can change the guest ip address will be a great appreciation. However, I did not find such a feature in the process of learning libvirt. The purpose of this mail is to ask the experts whether libvirt provide such a feature. If there is no, how can I implement such functionality. Additionally, I already know NAT based network and Routed network can use DHCP, but I want to use an existing host bridge. Best Wishes Harold
