[libvirt-users] assigning PCI addresses with bus > 0x09
by Riccardo Ravaioli 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

Hi, My goal is to assign PCI addresses to a number of devices (network interfaces, disks and PCI devices in PCI-passthrough) without delegating to libvirt the generation of those values. This should give me more control and for sure more predictability over the hardware configuration of a virtual machine and consequently the name of the interfaces in it. I'm using libvirt 4.3.0 to create qemu/KVM virtual machines running Linux (Debian Stretch). So, for every device of the type mentioned above, I add this line: <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x__' slot='0x__' function='0x0'/>, ... with values from 00 to ff in the bus field, and from 00 to 1f in the slot field, as described in the documentation. Long story short, I noticed that as soon as I assign values > 0x09 to the bus field, the serial console hangs indefinitely, in both Debian and Ubuntu. The VM seems to be started correctly and its state is "running"; in the XML file created by libvirt, I see all controllers from 0 the largest bus value I assigned, so everything from that side seems ok. What am I missing here? Thanks! Riccardo

[libvirt-users] guest runs into watch dog reset
by b f31415 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

I'm spinning up a guest, using virt-install. i'm passing the guest a single vcpu and many network interfaces. On the guest side all the interfaces are initially in the down state. I've notice then when I manually bring a specific one of these interfaces up (eg the 64th interface), the guest system hangs. Doing an "strace ifconfig etX up", it looks like the system hangs when doing the ioctl to bring the interface up. This guest is 18.04. Host is 16.04. Are there any qemu/virt commands i can run from the host which would provide me a better understanding as to why the guest gets into this hung state? If I pass two vcpu, I don't suffer from this hang issue. Thanks

[libvirt-users] avoiding PCI bus 8 / using PCI function / virt-install
by b f31415 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

I’m using virt-install to spin up VMs. At times I have a need to spin up VMs which have 100s of interfaces. I ran into the PCI issue mentioned in this previous thread based on how virt-install assigns PCI addresses to interfaces: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2018-December/msg00064.html Using the info mention there I was able to part hand / part sw re-write an XML where I would remove PCI bus references above the value of 8 and re-address the per interface PCI info to use the function field (I don’t need hot pluggable). But the process I’ve built is brittle. Wondering what options i might have to better deal with this PCI issue. Is there a way to tell virt-install, when building the info it passes to qemu, to use the function field during the PCI assignment process so as to support many more interfaces before hitting the PCI bus == 8 issue? If not, is there a way with one of the virt command line tools to create the XML (with the PCI addresses specified) so that I can process that XML and re-write the PCI addressing values? Right now the only way I’ve been able to get that detailed XML file is to 1) virt-install and let the VM begin the boot process and then do a 2) virsh dumpxml and then 3) virsh destroy/undefine that VM, 4) modify the XML and then 5) virsh create ./modified.xml. Is there a cleaner way to do this? Thanks

[libvirt-users] Network filters with clean-traffic not working on Debian Stretch
by fatal 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hello, I'm recently stumbled over the libvirt network filter capabilities and got pretty excited. Unfortunately I'm not able to get the the "clean-traffic" filterset working. I'm using a freshly installed Debian Stretch with libvirt, qemu and KVM. My config snippet looks as follows: sudo virsh edit <VM> [...] <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:0c:14:07'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='clean-traffic'> <parameter name='IP' value='10.10.1.2'/> </filterref> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:0c:24:17'/> <source bridge='br1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <filterref filter='clean-traffic'> <parameter name='IP' value='172.16.1.2'/> </filterref> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> [...] I restarted the VM from within the VM, did a "virsh reboot <VM>", restarted libvirtd and even did a reboot of the host - just to be sure. Unfortunately neither "iptables -L" nor "ebtables --list" show any entries added by libvirt. Also omitting the "parameter name='IP'" part didn't change anything. There are no error messages in /var/log/syslog nor in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<VM> My main references were: https://libvirt.org/firewall.html https://libvirt.org/formatnwfilter.html https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht… https://www.berrange.com/posts/2011/10/03/guest-mac-spoofing-denial-of-serv… Any help really would be much appreciated! Thanks a lot! Sam

[libvirt-users] luks ecrypted storage poll - lvm - possible?
by lejeczek 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

hi everyone, do we get to encrypt lvm pools in/with libvirt? I'm on Centos 7.x but see mention of it, not even on the net. Or in other words - can guests(lxc I'm thinking of) run off ecrypted lvm where at least the part when dev gets luksOpened is taken care of by libvirt? many thanks, L.

[libvirt-users] Shutdown problem from virsh
by Thomas Munfort 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

Hi everyone, On a server running Debian 9, I have multiple KVM guests automatically started at boot by libvirtd.service and running in the background. When I shutdown this server, libvirtd.service automatically and gracefully shut them all down first. So, every thing is fine so far. Recently, I've added an additional KVM guest and this one does not respond to a shutdown command from virsh and therefore messes up the shutdown of the whole Debian 9 server. The things is, this additional KVM guest is not a regular Linux guest. It is DiskStation Manager (DSM) 6.2 from Synology (with XPEnology as the boot loader). I know this setup isn't supported by libvirt nor Synology. Nonetheless, I wonder if anyone would have idea on that matter ? Even some suggestions might help me find what needs fixing. Thank you, Best regards, Thomas M.

[libvirt-users] CfP for VHPC ‘19: HPC Virtualization Paper Registration due January 25, 2019 - 14th Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing Workshop@ISC
by VHPC 19 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 14th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '19) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 16-20, 2019, Frankfurt, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ==================================================================== Date: June 20, 2019 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Abstract Submission Deadline: January 25, 2019 Springer LNCS, rolling abstract submission Abstract/Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25685 Call for Papers Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O Virtualization in turn allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume.

[libvirt-users] win10 network speed issue
by Michael Taboada 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

Hi there, I'm running a windows 10 vm on an arch linux host, linux 4.19.9.arch1-1, qemu 3.1.0-1, libvirt (from git) 4.10.0.45.g34eca98522-1, and recently have been having issues with network speeds on the windows vm. It started out getting 300-400 mb down, now it's down to about 10-30. Can anyone think of anything that might have caused this? I tried switching the network type to virtio, but that didn't make much of a difference. Afaik I don't think I've changed anything config-wise in the windows vm. Also the network type is nat. -Michael.

[libvirt-users] "virsh list --all" is intermittently causing a shutdown client to boot?
by Peter Kukla 15 Dec '18

15 Dec '18

Hello, I have a CentOS 7 client running on a CentOS 7 server. "virsh --version" reports that 3.9.0 is being used. I'm issuing a "virsh shutdown" command to shutdown the client. I then confirm that the client has actually shutdown using "virsh list --all". Lately I've been seeing instances where I shutdown the client, turn away to work on something else, and then turn back to find that the client has booted again. Initially I thought I was mistaken, and that I somehow hadn't properly shutdown the client, but further experimentation shows that's definitely not the case. I've been able to reproduce this repeatedly using the following steps. 1. Run "virsh shutdown CLIENT"2. Wait ~30-60 seconds3. Run "virsh list --all; virsh console CLIENT" If I run "virsh console CLIENT" on its own when the client is in a shutdown state, I get the expected "error: The domain is not running" message. If I omit step #2 and run step #3 immediately after shutting down the client, virsh also complains that the client's not started and refuses to open a console. However, if I add a pause -- step 2, above -- between the shutdown and the "list --all" commands, then "list --all" shows that the client is running, and a console is opened to the VM. I have confirmed that the client boot is definitely being started by the "list --all" command (and not being started by something else while I'm not looking) by combining the "list --all" and "console" commands in step 3. This is ensuring that the console is started as soon as the "list --all" is complete, and the resulting screen output shows the BIOS boot options quickly followed by the kernel boot messages being dumped to the console. I can watch the entire boot process from start to finish. That pause between the shutdown and the "list --all" is critical. I've shutdown the client and then immediately followed it up with the command: watch virsh list --all ...which will run the "list --all" command every 2 seconds. This will run indefinitely without triggering the boot, which eliminates the possibility of the boot occurring due to the amount of time since the shutdown. It may be that other virsh commands are also causing the client to boot, but thus far I've only reproduced it using the list --all command. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? A bug? Something in my config? Something else? Thanks in advance, -peter .

[libvirt-users] Usable and non-usable CPU models in nested virtualization
by Milan Zamazal 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Hi, some custom CPU models are reported from virConnectGetDomainCapabilities as usable='yes' on a physical machine while as usable='no' inside a VM running on the same machine. That's not completely surprising. But what surprises me is that those models are still reported from virConnectCompareCPU as supported (VIR_CPU_COMPARE_SUPERSET) in the nested environment and VMs can be started happily with them. For instance, virConnectGetDomainCapabilities reports <model usable='no'>Skylake-Client</model> but when I try to use that model anyway, the VM starts fine with it: <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'> <model fallback='forbid'>Skylake-Client</model> <topology sockets='16' cores='1' threads='1'/> <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/> <feature policy='disable' name='invpcid'/> <numa> <cell id='0' cpus='0' memory='524288' unit='KiB'/> </numa> </cpu> That's actually good news, but unexpected. Do I miss something? Thanks, Milan

[libvirt-users] Add trusted CA to libvirt
by Мозолина, Надежда Викторовна 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hello! I am trying to make libvirt trust one more CA. I suppose that when libvirt establish connection, it doesn't take into account any system trusted CAs. And in /etc/pki/CA according to the tutorial I have only one CA installed. How can I add one more trusted CA for libvirt? Best regards, Nadezhda Mozolina

Hello! Does libvirt uses certificate pinning in tls? I want to setup a transparent proxy (mitmproxy) and can't do this even after I added mitmproxy ca certificate to the trusted certificates in ubuntu.

[libvirt-users] libvirt 4.1 and later - howto configure LXC with interface macvlan type='direct' ?
by mxs kolo 09 Dec '18

Hi all After upgrade from Centos 7.5 to Centos 7.6, our test environment geted new version of libvirt 4.5.0 In which our old containers have broken config and can't start: 2018-12-05 10:38:32.634+0000: 18010: debug : virLXCControllerGetNICIndexes:368 : Getting nic indexes 2018-12-05 10:38:32.634+0000: 18010: error : virLXCControllerGetNICIndexes:400 : unsupported configuration: Unsupported net type direct Failure in libvirt_lxc startup: unsupported configuration: Unsupported net type direct We use next section for network interface: <interface type='direct'> <mac address='02:00:21:3b:eb:e1'/> <source dev='eno1.710' mode='bridge'/> </interface> It's linux macvlan solutions and it's worked at least since libvirt 1.2.7 for us. As I can see, in version 4.1.0 and later, some changes about DIRECT connect was implemented. VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT is still fully supported in src/lxc/lxc_driver.c But in src/lxc/lxc_controller.c --- libvirt-3.9.0/src/lxc/lxc_controller.c 2017-09-28 13:15:43.322712913 +0300 +++ libvirt-4.1.0/src/lxc/lxc_controller.c 2018-02-28 16:21:05.158799006 +0300 @@ -395,8 +395,14 @@ case VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_INTERNAL: case VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT: case VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_HOSTDEV: + virReportError(VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, + _("Unsupported net type %s"), + virDomainNetTypeToString(ctrl->def->nets[i]->type)); + goto cleanup; + case VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_LAST: default: - break; + virReportEnumRangeError(virDomainNetType, ctrl->def->nets[i]->type); + goto cleanup; } } Since version 4.1.0 which config need be used to configure macvlan for lxc cointainers ?

[Putting libvirt-users back on CC] Yep, this is a pretty serious fail on my account, the code assumes SPICE needs a DRM render node every time one isn't defined within the XML due to a missing check for presence of the <gl> element. I stripped the XML you sent me to the bare minimum to demonstrate a reproducer: ... <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes'> <listen type='address'/> <image compression='off'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> ... Let me know whether you want to create a BZ/fix the bug/both otherwise I'll take care of everything and mention you in the commit message. Thanks, Erik

Greetings, my router is running under a vm, I want to start another vm on that host and have to connected to the router vm in the same manner the host connects to the vm router. looking at the docs, I think that guest private network is what I need. thing is, from what I see, I need to define an ip and such. that's what the router suppose to provide so I'm not sure what exactly I need to configure and how. what is the correct config to achieve what I need? Thanks, Dagg.

Hi, I get this error when trying to start a vm using spice as the graphics: "error: internal error: No DRM render nodes available" I can't seem to figure out what could be going on, since it worked just a little while ago. Using arch linux, and libvirt from git (4.10.0.22.g6a6925b9b7-1). -Michael.

Hi all, I have 2 Centos servers running libvirtd. They are running using peacemaker cluster. After I had to reboot server 1, I can't no longer start VMs on server 2. I'm getting the following error message: error: Failed to start domain testvm error: internal error: Process exited prior to exec: libvirt: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtlockd-sock': Connection refused I can see that the deamon is listening on the port. I also couldn't find any further information in any logfile. Any idea? Thanks, Markus
