[libvirt-users] Hard limit for the cpu usage of a VM
by sethuraman subbiah 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hi , I was previously using xen and currently moved to KVM. I am using libvirt to manage these VMs. In den's credit scheduler , I had the ability to set a cap on the cpu usage for a VM. But I was not able to find a similar substitute in KVM. I find that we can use cgroups to provide shares for VM but that will be more like weight based and it doesn't set a hard cap for that VM. I tried using cpulimit but I find it inaccurate and we can give values only between 0-100. Thus, I think it cannot support multi core environments. Can any one suggest a method to set a hard limit on a VM's cpu usage? Thank you. - Regards, Sethuraman Subbiah Graduate Student - NC state University M.S in Computer Science

[libvirt-users] [ruby-libvirt] who's using it
by Christian Parpart 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hey all, I would like to know who / what project is using this binding. So I could learn the API a bit easier than reading through the rough rdoc-based API documentation, which is not really helpful to me, as I do not know the C API yet either. my intention is, to some day, be able to create a Rails web app for managing libvirt hosts (mainly OpenVZ/vserver/LXC and possibly QEMU). Thanks in advance, Christian Parpart.

[libvirt-users] VM with transient disk
by Till Mossakowski 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I want to use transient disks with libvirt. According to [1], the transient disk feature has been supported since 0.9.5. Hence, I have installed libvirt 0.9.6 for Ubuntu Lucid from [2] and used the following disk configuration: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/home/till/test.img'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <transient/> </disk> However, I get: unsupported configuration: transient disks not supported yet Best, Till [1] http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html [2] http://ppa.launchpad.net/agent-8131/xen-custom/ubuntu/

[libvirt-users] Live migration with 2 nodes and no SAN
by Trey Dockendorf 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

I'd like to begin using live migrations with my KVM install, but I do not have any shared storage. I will have 2 identical nodes, with their own local storage. Everything I've read seems to point to DRDB, but I am not finding many resources on how to implement DRDB + qcow2 + KVM. Currently I've been using virt-manager to manage my VMs which are all using qcow2 images. With a setup using DRDB, if I mount the replicated device to /var/lib/libvirt/images, what ensures that each virtual disk is only being used by a single node until migration is needed? I have no experience with HA systems or services. What suggestions or experiences has anyone had with this type of setup? Any advice is welcome. Thanks - Trey

[libvirt-users] delete lvm problem: exited with non-zero status 5 and signal 0
by lingjiao.lc 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

hi, I use the libvirt-python to manage my virtual machine. When I delete a volume use vol.delete(0), sometimes it note me that has occur the error: libvirtError: internal error '/sbin/lvremove -f /dev/vg.vmms/lvm-v097222.sqa.cm4' exited with non-zero status 5 and signal 0: Can't remove open logical volume "lvm-v097222.sqa.cm4". then I go to the host and run the command: " sudo lvchange -a n /dev/vg.vmms/lvm-v097222.sqa.cm4" and then the volume could delete use vol.delete(0). But it's not often occur, just once in nearly 8. I know the delete function virStorageBackendLogicalDeleteVol as this: { { const char *cmdargv[] = { LVREMOVE, "-f",vol->target.path, NULL }; virCheckFlags(0, -1); virFileWaitForDevices(); if (virRun(cmdargv, NULL) < 0) return -1; return 0; } Could I change it like this: ? if (virRun(cmdargv, NULL) < 0) const char *changeCmdarg[] = { LVCHANGE, "-a", "n", vol->target.path, NULL }; if(virRun(changeCmdarg, NULL) < 0) return -1; else if(virRun(cmdargv,NULL) < 0) return -1; ________________________________ This email (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Hi, all I migrate a vm from source host to the destination host. I am sure every part is ok for migration. 1 Create the image in the destination and change the user and group. 2 Open TCP socket in the destination host. and I migrate in the source host command line. $ virsh migrate --live --copy-storage-all vmubuntu qemu+ssh://destinationHost/system --verbose But I get the error "error: operation failed : failed to retrieve chardev info inqemu with 'info chardev'" In the destination I find in the vmubuntu.log The error is "Migration failed. Exit code tcp:0.0.0.0:49170(-98),exiting." What can I do to solve it ? I do not understand how the error comes. Anyone can help me ? Thanks in advance.

[libvirt-users] Start of libvirtd fails with error "undefined symbol: __virAlloc"
by Langenbach, Steffen 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hello List like described in the topic I have a problem with starting the libvirtd. I'm a complete newbie with libvirtd, today I heard the first time that such a daemon exists after I get the message that our webserver isn't running (a former colleague has installed this system). We have the following configuration: A Ubuntu based host on which our webserver runs within a qemu virtual machine. The following happens: Yesterday the host restarted (at the moment we don't know the reason) and since this restart libvirtd did not start up. How I found that out: When I try to start the virtual machine with "virsh start z-web" I get the error: "Connecting to uri: qemu:///session libvir: Remote error : unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory error: failed to connect to the hypervisor" As explained, I'm a total Newbie with libvirtd. So as far as I know, the libvirt-sock is generated by libvirtd when it's running. I don't know the right way how to start libvirtd. I tried it by just typing "libvirtd", but that generates this error: "libvirtd: symbol lookup error: libvirtd: undefined symbol: __virAlloc". I can't find any log-entry that gives me more information about this error. Does anybody can help me with this problem? In which logfiles does libvirtd normaly writes such errormessages? Or what can the problem be? If you need more information about the configuration or something else, I can find that out, if you tell me where ;) Thanks alot for your help!

[libvirt-users] Running LXC instance as a non-root user
by Dong-In David Kang 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hello, I'm new to this mailing list. I have a question on running an LXC instance from libvirt as a non-root user. I saw libvirt can launch a QEMU instance as a non-root user by editing /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf configuration file via the user=$USERNAME and group=$GROUPNAME parameters. But, I could not find such options for LXC. Is there a way to run an LXC instance as a non-root user? If it is not possible, then could I run libivrtd itself as a non-root user? Thanks, David. ---------------------- Dr. Dong-In "David" Kang Computer Scientist USC/ISI

[libvirt-users] Identifying proper CPU type
by Alex 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Hi, I've been working on trying to figure out why my virtual machine keeps crashing when I don't believe I have a hardware problem, and I believe I might know why. As I'm relatively new to this, I believe I may have misconfigured the XML file to try and maximize the CPU features that are available to the guest from the host. I have an Intel Xeon E3-1240 3.3Ghz quad-core. How can I properly configure the XML file to transparently make available as many of the CPU features as possible to the guest? I have read cpu_map.xml, and my processor has more capabilities than anything listed. I've now configured the <cpu> section to read as follows: <cpu> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='2'/> </cpu> The guest processor still seems to indicate there is only one core, despite there being 7 processors? Below is the cpuinfo from the host, followed by that of the guest: processor : 7 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 42 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31240 @ 3.30GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 3301.000 cache size : 8192 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 core id : 3 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 7 initial apicid : 7 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 13 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt aes xsave avx lahf_lm ida arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dts tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid bogomips : 6584.20 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: Guest: processor : 7 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 2 model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.14.0 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 3292.520 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 4 wp : yes flags : fpu de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx lm rep_good nopl pni cx16 popcnt hypervisor lahf_lm bogomips : 6585.04 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: Any ideas greatly appreciated.
