I think you're looking for libguestfs at http://libguestfs.org/ . Another approach would be you to have root ssh access to the guest and tunning the guest configuration via ssh. -- Nicolas Sebrecht

Hi all, I am trying to run LXC containers with the libvirt utils. I encountered many difficulties but solved all of them, except a last one... This is why I need your help. My problem is simple, here is the log of the command: http://pastebin.com/2zrjYLiT When I try to do: virsh --connect lxc:/// start instance-00000010 I have the errors: 2012-01-16 10:46:47.739+0000: 1: error : lxcContainerMountDevFS:518 : Failed to mount /dev/pts in container: No such file or directory And others (see the trace on pastebin). Does anybody have an idea about how to deal with this problem? Thanks for your answers. Best regards. Sam

[libvirt-users] web frontend for managing libvirt servers
by Christian Parpart 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi all, I know that redhat has some web based GUI for managing libvirt clusters, however, I am not having purchased redhat :-) Is there any good open-source web frontend you can recommend for managing your libvirt instances? Ideally with VNC/spice support for connecting to the remote? I know of proxmox, which we used so far for our openvz containers, but I am about to migrate to KVM (and possibly linux-vserver / LXC). Many thanks, Christian.

Hallo Christian, have look on ovirt (redhat). ovirt-node.x86_64 : The RHEV Hypervisor daemons/scripts ovirt-node-tools.noarch : RHEV Hypervisor tools for building and running an RHEV Hypervisor image Dunno if you can compare it too vmware vcenter, but ovirt is what i think you need to manage vm's and hosts. clustering motion etc Its in the Repos for Centos.

Yeah, i bet it will work with them :) Ok Ok, Tada!!!! after recompiling with the recommended useflags and "restarting" of libvirt = Tada! It works! Is the logfile informativ for you? Marko Btw, on my Centos6 Boxes all is running like a charme. Well, Centos/RHEL have strict dependencies for packages and therefore force user to install many packages which user doesn't need in the end. That's why we are using Gentoo, right? :) Yes, right. But for customer related server i feel good to use enterprise linux. Gentoo is my personal fav and love ;-) I wanted to give a try on latest vanilla 3.2.1 - it works like charm now , libvirt, virt-manager. Only trick i have to use is, before creating new virtual machine, i have to a new harddisk for the vm. When i do this in the process of creating new virtual machine, i cant select (in step 3?) where to define the disk. the windows just pop up for 1 sec and is gone, i have to kill then the virt-manager and restart all. what i really like is, when use Centos as Guest, u can use virtio from beginning on hard disk and ethernet. E.g. on Centos it is not easy to install just libvirt without qemu. However, it is perfectly simple to do so on Gentoo. Michal

13 Jan '12

Greetings, I am a developer, trying to develop a system for monitoring Servers and Virtual Machines using Libvirt API for C/C++. I am facing an issue that there are no functions for monitoring some parameters which I have listed below. I would like to know if there is any there way I can retrieve these parameters since they are critical to my Monitoring Application. Also I am using CentOS 5.6 as a development machine which only supports up to libvirt-devel package version 0.8.2 due to which I am unable to use the newer development binaries (which are only built for newer RedHat kernels) which have support for certain functions that do not work on the one I am using. List of parameters: For Server Monitoring: 1. Memory Swap-In 2. Memory swap-Out 3. Disk Usage 4. Disk Read 5. Disk write 6. Disk Total Read Latency 7. Disk total Write Latency 8. Network Usage 9. Network Packets Received 10. Network Packets Sent 11. CPU utilization 12. CPU Usage For Virtual Machine Monitoring: 1. Memory Utilization 2. Memory Consumption 3. Memory swap-In 4. Memory Swap-Out 5.

[libvirt-users] LXC with RHEL 6.1
by John Paul Walters 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

I'm trying to start a RHEL 6.1 container on an RHEL 6.1 host through libvirt 0.9.3. I've removed most of the startup services from the guest container, except the network and sshd. I can get the system to boot to a login prompt and can access the console through virsh; however, as soon as I authenticate, I get the following error message: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session init: tty (/dev/tty1) main process (372) terminated with status 1 init: tty (/dev/tty1) main process ended, respawning After this, I'm again left at the login prompt. I'm also unable to establish an ssh session, which I assume is related to the issue I'm having with the virsh console. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what's going on here? I'm using the following XML for my domain creation: <domain type='lxc'> <name>RHEL6</name> <memory>512000</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/sbin/init</init> </os> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/media'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> </interface> <console type='pty' /> </devices> </domain> Any thoughts? best, JP

[libvirt-users] Looking for feedback
by Zorg 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hello list! I'm currently digging into libvirt-based virtualisation infrastructure (KVM/Qemu Hypervisors so far). I have a little concern here: Let's say we have two hypervisors (I and II), running 3 VMs each - I runs a,b,c and II runs d,e,f. Virtual disks are stored on a centralized storage solution, let's say a good old cluster of NFS filers. Network configuration is homogenous on the two hypervisors -- same bridge names to the same ethernet segments. Basically, a, b and c are defined on I - the XML description is stored on I. So far, so good. Then let's say I crashes badly. The XML descriptions for a,b, and c are lost, the process of starting these VMs on II would involve re-defining it on II from a backup of XML descriptions. That's not quite an automated/fluent process, and the idea of doubling hypervisors into a HA cluster just for that matter is clearly overkill to me. Are you, by chance, aware of an OpenSource libvirt-based solution that is able to keep track of each VM xmldesc, starting lost guests as transient domains on another hypervisor upon failure of the original hypervisor ?

[libvirt-users] Communication with Hyper-V
by Vadim Gurevich 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hi, I'm interested in using libvirt to communicate with Microsoft's Hyper-V. I'm trying to use virsh, but with no success. I have a machine that runs Windows Server Developer Preview with Hyper-V on it, ip x.x.x.x I set the service Basic and AlloUnencrypted properties on this machine to true, as required I also have a Linux machine x.x.y.y, with libvirt installed. This is what I get: virsh -c hyperv://x.x.x.x/?transport=http error: Cannot read CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor My questions are: 1. As I understand, if my hypervisor was on Linux, there's a daemon "libvirtd" that should be installed on it. Is there an equivalent service for Windows? I installed this thing on the Hyper-V machine: http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.8-0.exe, but am not sure about its purpose. 2. Why do I get an error about certificate, when I specified the transport to be http? Thanks, Vadim

[libvirt-users] hooks not working on Ubuntu
by Zoltan Lippai 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Hi everybody! I was trying to set up port forwarding to one of my VM's but I'm stuck. I was following this guide: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Forwarding_Incoming_Connections So I've created the hook script but it seems like libvirt is not calling it upon the start of the VM. I've put this into the hook script: date >> /tmp/libvirt-hook-debug but the file was never created. Also I put this in the script: echo "Could not find required XYZZY" >&2 exit 1 (just to make sure) This should show up in the libvirt log, but it's not there. I think it is safe to say, that this script is never called. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I know about the apparmor.d bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/891472) so I tried to change the apparmor profile as suggested, I even tried to turn apparmor off temporarily (service apparmor teardown) but still no luck. I have libvirt 0.9.2-4ubuntu15.1 (they say the bug is fixed in 0.9.7 but it's not yet available in the repo and I'm not even sure, that my problem is related to that bug). So do you have any idea what could be going on in here? Thanks, Zoltan Lippai

[libvirt-users] Libvirtd slowness
by Nathan March 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

Hi, Can anyone tell me if it's normal to take over 2 seconds to connect to the libvirt daemon? xen1 ~ # time virsh -c 'xen://xen5/' pwd real 0m2.102s xen1 ~ # time virsh -c 'xen://xen1/' pwd real 0m2.217s Strace shows it sitting for 2.08s on polling the remote socket: poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 2, -1) = 1 ([{fd=6, revents=POLLIN}]) <2.082839> Not quite sure why though? Experiencing this on both 0.9.7 and 0.9.0. This happens both with virsh and the perl libvirt bindings. If i just spawn virsh interactively I only incur that 2s hit on intial spawn, all commands are very quick and responsive. Anyone have any suggestions? - Nathan -- Nathan March<nathan(a)gt.net> Gossamer Threads Inc. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/ Tel: (604) 687-5804 Fax: (604) 687-5806

[libvirt-users] Python bindings for libvirt
by Ananth 06 Jan '12

Hi, I referred to the developer guide in libvirt.org regarding python bindings. But the document says TBD and it was last updated in 2010. Could you point to any sources regarding python bindings to call libvirt APIs? -- Regards Ananth

[libvirt-users] Issue with event registration
by Tyrion Lannister 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hi, I could find only one post related to this, but that did not address my problem. I am trying to register for VM events using virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny, but that is returning with the error "libvir: Remote error : this function is not supported by the connection driver: no event support" I have registered for the default event implementation (as suggested in the response to an earlier post related to this problem) prior to calling *RegisterAny, but that is not helping. Browsing through the coe, it seems to me this has to do with the timer support in the domainEventState, just a guess. if (priv->domainEventState->timer < 0) { remoteError(VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT, "%s", _("no event support")); goto done; } I am using Centos 6 with KVM QEMU. Thanks, Suresh
