Is it possible to configure libvirt's MAC generation?
by Ian Pilcher 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

Is it possible to configure libvirt to generate "predictable" MAC addresses for virtual NICS? (A configuration which accomplishes this by limiting the pool of available addresses would be acceptable for my use case.) Read on for why I want to do this ... I have a somewhat unusual use case. I am working with the OpenShift bare metal "IPI" installation process, which is documented here: https://openshift-kni.github.io/baremetal-deploy/4.4/Deployment.html At a high level, the installation process goes like this: 1. Install RHEL 8 on the "provisioner" node. 2. Configure a couple of bridges on the provisioner node, which will be used by the "bootstrap VM" (see below). 3. Create a configuration file & do various other things. 4. Run the installer a. Installer creates a "bootstrap VM" on the provisioning node, which does the actual work of kicking off the OpenShift installation. The bootstrap VM runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS). b. Bootstrap VM requests an IP address via DHCP. <====== ****** Step 4b is problematic in this environment. Because of routing and firewall rules, I really need the bootstrap VM to have a predictable IP address. It is possible to configure a static IP address on the bootstrap VM via the CoreOS ignition file, and we've successfully done this, but ... RHCOS requests an IP address via DHCP *before* it processes the ignition file. If this fails, it appears to simply give up. So we need to have our DHCP server provide an address to the bootstrap VM, even if it isn't ever used. And of course, we're not allowed to configure the DHCP server to respond to any old MAC address that comes along; we're only allowed to respond to known MAC addresses. Hopefully this all makes sense, and hopefully it explains why being able to configure libvirt's MAC pool/sequence would allow things to work in this environment.

Reintroduce modern CPU in model selection
by Gionatan Danti 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Hi list, in virt-manager ver. 2.2.1 (fully upgraded CentOS 8.1), the CPU model list only shows ancient CPU (the most recent is Nehalem-IBRS). On the other hand, in virt-manager 1.5.x (fully upgraded CentOS 7.8) we have a rich selection of CPU (as recent as Icelake). Why was the list in newer virt-manager so much trimmed? Is it possible to enlarge it? Thanks. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it [1] email: g.danti(a)assyoma.it - info(a)assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8

Live migration to another volume at the same host
by Paul van der Vlis 12 Jun '20

12 Jun '20

Hello, I am looking for a way to migrate a VM live to another location. The qcow2 images are now on /data , but I want to move some of them to a volume mounted on /data2 what's faster. Is this possible without downtime? With regards, Paul -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer Groningen https://www.vandervlis.nl/

Migrate to a bigger disk possible?
by Paul van der Vlis 11 Jun '20

11 Jun '20

Hello, I have a qcow2 disk what needs to become increased. I don't have space on the location where it is now to have it two time, so I want to live-migrate it to another host. On the other host I have to create a qcow2 disk before I can migrate. What would happen when I would create there a bigger qcow2 disk then the original one? Can I resize the filesystem after the migration? With regards, Paul van der Vlis -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer Groningen https://www.vandervlis.nl/

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: K. Kahurani <k.kahurani(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, May 31, 2020 at 2:26 PM Subject: Hello To: <eblake(a)redhat.com> Hello, Hopefully this finds you well. This is not a bug report but more or less an inquiry as based on the information acquired from Jim Fehlig a while back, it is possible you would have some important information regarding this. It is currently not possible for me to compile libvirt right from the word go while configuring with the error [1]. From the look of it and a bit of searching on the internet, it does look like the package portablexdr is obsolete. Could it be that this is a known issue? Could it be there already is a workaround this? Do you suppose this should go into the mailing list? Sincerely, David.

Disable virtlockd
by Felix Queißner 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Hello! Is it possible to disable the virtlockd daemon or VM file locking? I start qemu with a -snapshot option which prevents and changes to the disk image anyways. Using <readonly /> is not supported for IDE disks. Another option would be to not require locking on the NFS share, but i have no idea how. Can someone help me with that? Regards Felix Queißner

No outbound connectivity from guest VM(fedora 32)
by Justin Stephenson 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Hi, I recently installed a fresh install of Fedora 32 and I am having trouble with my virtual machine networking, I can ssh and connect into my guest VMs from my host, but the guest VMs cannot ping out to the internet. I am using the "default" NAT virtual network, the interesting thing is I have made no configuration changes on my host or in the guest VMs, simply created and installed two VMs(Fedora and RHEL8) in Fedora where the VMs are having the same issue. I am happy to provide any logs or command output if that would help. -Justin

About Libvirt Setmem&dommemstat Function
by 🍭 20 May '20

20 May '20

I have sent a similar email about this problem. But I did not describe carefully, so I would like to explain it in more details. I am using 'virsh setmem' to ajust vm memory online. However, I don't know what is the lowerlimit that can be set to. And I try to use 'virsh dommemstat' to get 'unused' memory so that I can calculate the lowerlimit memory with this value, but it doesn't work when it comes to windows systems as I cannot set vm memory down to 'available - unused' in windows system. I suppose it's caches memory that causes this problem, so I upgrade my libvirt & qemu in order to get 'stat_disk_caches'. Although I upgrade libvirt to v4.10.0, qemu upgrade to v4.1.0, I cannot get this value. In summary, I came across two problems. How can I know the exact lowerlimit memory that can be set to in one vm? And if I need 'stat_disk_caches' value, how can I get it properly? My libvirt version: v4.10.0, qemu version:v4.1.0, hypervisor working on centos7.6 system.

macvtap direct
by Subhendu Ghosh 19 May '20

19 May '20

Hi Couple of questions around macvtap direct usage: 1) is the document here current? https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesDirect I have been able to get host to guest network traffic without any special configuration or switch since Fedora 28 when I first started using it. Using <forward mode=vepa> requires switch port mirroring, but just using <forward mode=bridge> doesn't. 2) do any of the language libraries make assumptions that libvirt networks must have a <bridge name=xx> attribute? Foreman's Ruby interface to libvirt errors out with attempting to build a VM on a KVM host with a network defined with <forward mode=bridge> https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/25890 thanks Subhendu

About Libvirt Setmem&dommemstat Function
by 🍭 19 May '20

19 May '20

I am using 'virsh setmem' to adjust the vm memory. But I don't know what is the lowerlimit memory that can be adjusted to, so I try to update the version of libvirt&qemu to get caches of the vm memory so that I can calculate the lowerlimit. And when I upgrade libvirt to 4.10.0, qemu upgrade to 4.1.0, still, I cannot get 'stat-disk-caches'.  How can I solve it ? Thx.

Firmware auto-select limitation
by GUOQING LI 15 May '20

15 May '20

Hi everyone and Martin I would like to confirm the conversation we had in regard the possible limitation of firmware auto-select feature that’s been released since v5.20. I recall you saying that there were a lot of issues with auto select and later they shipped it into a Json file , it still didn’t solve all the problems, did it? Is it better to explicitly specify the loader and nvram path than using auto-select ? Just today, I encountered the issue of using firmware=“efi” on libvirt 5.4.0 I am running Ubuntu eoan 19.10, I am wondering how did it happen.

But now I am not able to install a new one because virsh gives me an "not enough space left". Those two undefined VMs still linger around somehow occupying a lot of that storage. How can I get rid of them?

Unit libvirtd.service could not be found. on VM
by Dana Elfassy 13 May '20

13 May '20

Hi all, Some background: I recently has some issues with libvirt on my laptop when I got the error 'operation failed: pool 'default' already exists with uuid dd48b6ad-9a00-46eb-a3a4-c122d8a294a5' when I connected virt-manager. I was finally able to resolve it yesterday, when I removed libvirt and all its related content in /etc/libvirt, removed the pool by its UUID, deleted virbr0 & virbro-nic, removed the default network, reinstalled and created the network & default pool again Now I got libvirtd on my laptop up & running. However, when I install vms on my laptop, they don't have libvirtd.service This is the network configuration XML: <interface type="network"> <mac address="52:54:00:d0:40:69"/> <source network="default" portid="171a745c-f96d-412a-baa7-ee1feeaed6ac" bridge="virbr0"/> <target dev="vnet1"/> <model type="virtio"/> <alias name="net0"/> <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x00" slot="0x03" function="0x0"/> </interface> I installed the vms with virt-manager. The Network source is Virtual network 'default': NAT I'm using CentOS8.1 on both my laptop & vms. Is there anything else I need to reconfigure or any thoughts why libvirtd.service doesn't exist on my VMS? Thanks, Dana

I was hoping to see some error output from the syscall but the line that should contain it is empty: 2020-01-20 19:47:15.589+0000: 8579: debug : virBPFLoadProg:78 : Can you please check system logs and output of dmesg? I've managed to run into this article [1] that explains that even if you have all permissions and no SELinux you can still be blocked by something called kernel_lockdown and it should appear in dmesg.

libvirt object IVirtualBox is null
by claudia freitas 13 May '20

13 May '20

Hi, I'm using libvirt to manage virtual machines created with VirtualBox-6.0, however when I try to start, to shut down virsh vm I get the message of object IVirtualBox is null. However, if I leave the VirtualBox graphical interface open it works normally. Can anyone help or is experiencing the same problem? Thanks, Kilida2020

Running libvirtd inside chroot (mock to be precise)
by Marcin Sobczyk 13 May '20

13 May '20

Hi, I was wondering whether it's possible to run libvirtd inside a chroot environment. The assumption is that only one instance of libvirtd would be running on the machine at a time, but still, inside chroot. Currently in my chroot env I have: - /dev/kvm added with mknod - /dev/vhost-net added with mknod - mounted: - /dev/net - /dev/shm - /run/dbus When I run libvirtd in non-daemon mode I get one error: 2020-05-13 10:06:27.480+0000: 28555: error : virNetDevBridgeCreate:484 : error creating bridge interface virbr0: File exists but it seems to me that libvirtd can live with that. When I try to run a VM however I get a qemu error reported: 2020-05-13 08:56:51.643+0000: starting up libvirt version: 4.5.0, package: 35.3.module_el8.1.0+297+df420408 (CentOS Buildsys <bugs(a)centos.org>, 2020-04-10-11:06:38, ), qemu version: 2.12.0qemu-kvm-2.12.0-88.module_el8.1.0+297+df420408.3, kernel: 4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64, hostname: .....
