[libvirt-users] Xen via libvirt
by Minjun Hong 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hello. I want to use libvirt for toolstack of Xen (not XenServer) to set up Openstack system but, I'm new to libvirt so, I had some troubles on installing libvirt. I downloaded the source code, build and installed it, following here ( https://libvirt.org/compiling.html) However, when I type a command (# virsh 'xen:///system' list) to check if libvirt has been installed successfully, I can see an error message: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor > error: internal error: libxenlight state driver is not active Of course, I confirmed that Xen was working well: root@node1:/home/nickeys# xl list > Name ID Mem VCPUs State > Time(s) > Domain-0 0 95656 32 r----- > 5888.0 And I'm wondering why 'Using API' below is QEMU. How can I change that to Xen ? root@node1: /home/nickeys# virsh version > Compiled against library: libvirt 4.9.0 > Using library: libvirt 4.9.0 > Using API: QEMU 4.9.0 > Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.11.1 I'm using libvirt 4.9, Xen 4.12 (the current latest) and Linux kernel 4.16.1. I want to know how to make the 'libxenlight state driver' active. Please let me know where I should check first to fix this wrong state, or any tip is also okay. Thanks.

[libvirt-users] how to use LV(container) created by lxc-create?
by lejeczek 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

hi everyone, how can I use a LV created by lxc in libvirt guest domain? You know, you lxc-create with LV as backstore for a container(ubuntu in my case) and now you want to give to libvit. That, I thought would be a very common case but I failed to find a good howto on how one: lxc-create(lvm) => let libvirt take control over it. Or it's not how you would do it at all? many thanks, L.

[libvirt-users] LXC with --filesystem - control/impose filesystem(/ in container) size limits - how?
by lejeczek 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

hi guys container was created off a template with --dir. Is it even possible? I mean, as it is with filesystem, without moving/migrating to LVM, ZFS, etc? The very brute solution which comes to my mind - xfs project quotas - if it even could work. But that outside of libvirt/lxc. many thanks, L.

[libvirt-users] KVM + libvirt + nftables without iptables?
by Roman Vesely 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hi everyone, I use Debian 9.5 Stretch and NFTABLES as a firewall. Using NFTABLES together with IPTABLES is not recommended, but libvirt depends on IPTABLES. Is it safe to run libvirt + kvm + virsh without IPTABLES? By the doc https://libvirt.org/firewall.html, IPTABLES are used for settingup filtering which I do not need. Thanks, Roman

[libvirt-users] Serial ports: vm vs bare metal
by Lars Kellogg-Stedman 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

I'm running libvirt under Fedora 28. I would like to attach a USB device to a VM, but when I select "Redirect USB Device" from the "Virtual Machine" menu in virt-manager and then select the device, I get the error: USB redirection error spice-client-error-quark: Could not redirect [device name] at 1-11: Error setting USB device node ACL: 'Not authorized' (0) There are no additional log messages acccompanying this in either the journal or in audit.log. It's not a selinux issue. The "Details" dropdown in the error dialog helpfully adds "USB redirection error". What do I do with this error message? I'm not even sure what it's trying to tell me. Thanks, -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars(a)redhat.com> | larsks @ {irc,twitter,github} http://blog.oddbit.com/ |

[libvirt-users] snapshots with virsh in a pacemaker cluster
by Lentes, Bernd 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Hi, i have a two node cluster with virtual guests as resources. I'd like to snapshot the guests once in the night and thought i had a procedure. But i realize that things in a cluster are a bit more complicated than expected :-)) I will shutdown the guests to have a clean snapshot. I can shutdown the guests via pacemaker. But then arises the first problem: When i issue a "virsh snapshot-create-as" libvirt needs the domain name as a parameter. but libvirt does not know the domains any longer. When the guests are shutdown a "virsh list --all" on both nodes does not show any domain. A look in the respective resource agent VirtualDomain explains why: The domain is started with virsh create: "# The 'create' command guarantees that the domain will be # undefined on shutdown, ... OK: Now i could of course define all domains with a virsh define. But then i have immediately the next problem. Now i'd create the snapshots with "virsh snapshot-create-as" and starts the domains afterwards via cluster. But let's assume i issue that on node 1 and some guests are started afterwards via pacemaker on node 2. I can't predict on which node the guests are starting. Then i don't get a snapshot, right ? What to do ?

[libvirt-users] Device lease hot unplug and events
by Milan Zamazal 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Hi, when working on hot unplugs of various devices, I've found out that hot unplugging <lease> device doesn't generate VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVED event. <lease> also doesn't have an alias, so it wouldn't be identifiable in the corresponding callback. Is this difference from other hotpluggable devices intentional? If yes, is there any better way of checking that <lease> removal is completed than querying and examining the domain XML? From user's point of view, it would be best if I could simply handle the device removal event the same way as with other devices. Thanks, Milan

[libvirt-users] How to explain this libvirt oddity w.r.t machine types?
by Kashyap Chamarthy 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Context: The baremetal host previously had QEMU 2.11. But I manually downgraded the QEMU version (via `dnf downgrade qemu-system-x86`); now it is at 2.10: $ rpm -q qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-x86-2.10.2-1.fc27.x86_64 The guest is offline. Let's see (in a couple of ways) what machine type it has while it is dormant: # virsh dumpxml cirros | grep -i machine= <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.10'>hvm</type> # grep machine= /etc/libvirt/qemu/cirros.xml <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.10'>hvm</type> Okay, now edit the guest XML and carefully remove the "machine='pc-i440fx-2.10'" bit---to see what machine type will libvirt (libvirt-daemon-kvm-4.0.0-2.fc27.x86_64) default to: # virsh edit cirros Domain cirros XML configuration edited. Now check the machine type again. Bizarrely enough, libvirt "helpfully" auto-adds QEMU *2.11* machine type, which is obviously no longer on the system! # grep machine= /etc/libvirt/qemu/cirros.xml <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.11'>hvm</type> # virsh dumpxml cirros | grep -i machine= <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.11'>hvm</type> How to explain this? Is this even a "valid test"? (To undo the nuisance, obviously, I had to `virsh edit cirros` again and change it to 2.10.) Note, I *don't* have 2.11 QEMU on the system: # rpm -qa | grep -E 'qemu.*2.11' # echo $? 1 * * * It's getting late, and I should stop staring at screens. -- /kashyap

[libvirt-users] live migration via unix socket
by David Vossel 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hey, Over in KubeVirt we're investigating a use case where we'd like to perform a live migration within a network namespace that does not provide libvirtd with network access. In this scenario we would like to perform a live migration by proxying the migration through a unix socket to a process in another network namespace that does have network access. That external process would live on every node in the cluster and know how to correctly route connections between libvirtds. virsh example of an attempted migration via unix socket. virsh migrate --copy-storage-all --p2p --live --xml domain.xml my-vm qemu+unix:///system?socket=destination-host-proxy-sock In this example, the src libvirtd is able to establish a connection to the destination libvirtd via the unix socket proxy. However, the migration-uri appears to require either tcp or rdma network connection. If I force the migration-uri to be a unix socket, I receive an error [1] indicating that qemu+unix is not a valid transport. Technically with qemu+kvm I believe what we're attempting should be possible (even though it is inefficient). Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a way to achieve this migration via unix socket functionality this using Libvirt? Also, is there a reason why the migration uri is limited to tcp/rdma Thanks! - David [1] https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/blob/master/src/qemu/qemu_migration.c#L2…

[libvirt-users] how "safe" is blockcommit ?
by Lentes, Bernd 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hi, currently i'm following https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit. I 'm playing around with it and it seems to be quite nice. What i want is a daily consistent backup of my image file of the guest. I have the idea of the following procedure: - Shutdown the guest (i can live with a downtime of a few minutes, it will happen in the night). And i think it's the only way to have a real clean snapshot - create a snapshot with snapshot-create-as: snapshot-create-as guest testsn --disk-only - start the guest again. Changes will now go into the overlay, as e.g. inserts in a database - rsync the base file to a cifs server. With rsync not the complete, likely big file is transferred but just the delta - blockcommit the overlay: blockcommit guest /path/to/testsn --active --wait --verbose --pivot - delete the snapshot: snapshot-delete guest --snapshotname testsn --metadata - remove the overlay Is that ok ? How "safe" is blockcommit on a running guest ? It's possible that during the rsync, when the guest is running, some inserts are done in a database. Is it safe to copy the new sectors (i assume that's what blockcommit does) under a running database ? Or is it only safe doing blockcommit on a stopped guest ? Thanks for any answer. Bernd P.S. Is the same procedure possible when the guest disk(s) reside directly in a plain logical volume, without a file system in-between ? -- Bernd Lentes Systemadministration Institut für Entwicklungsgenetik Gebäude 35.34 - Raum 208 HelmholtzZentrum münchen [ mailto:bernd.lentes@helmholtz-muenchen.de | bernd.lentes(a)helmholtz-muenchen.de ] phone: +49 89 3187 1241 fax: +49 89 3187 2294 [ http://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/idg | http://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/idg ] wer Fehler macht kann etwas lernen wer nichts macht kann auch nichts lernen Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen Deutsches Forschungszentrum fuer Gesundheit und Umwelt (GmbH) Ingolstaedter Landstr. 1 85764 Neuherberg www.helmholtz-muenchen.de Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende: MinDir'in Baerbel Brumme-Bothe Geschaeftsfuehrer: Prof. Dr. med.

Is there a setting to allow/disable spoof checking and trust on VF from SR-IOV device? Lookin at https://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDriverBackendOptions can this be done through the driver element? *<driver name='vhost' txmode='iothread' ioeventfd='on' event_idx='off' queues='5' rx_queue_size='256' tx_queue_size='256'> <host csum='off' gso='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off' mrg_rxbuf='off'/> <guest csum='off' tso4='off' tso6='off' ecn='off' ufo='off'/> </driver>* At the moment i have to manually run: ip link set $_dev vf $vf spoofchk off ip link set $_dev vf $vf trust on Is it possible to set this values from the xml file on a per interface basis?

[libvirt-users] [OCaml] Reset of the libvirt-ocaml repository
by Pino Toscano 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Hi libvirt developers and users, TL;DR: you need to clone again the libvirt-ocaml repository, if you had one already Due to the way the repository was converted from another SCM in the past, some of the metadata of older commits was broken, and this made the repository unusable with more strict git configurations (e.g. as used on GitHub). You can read more details about this in https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-September/msg00214.html The ocaml-libvirt repository from Rich Jones' website was fixed, and replaced the existing libvirt-ocaml on libvirt.org. The libvirt-ocaml repository is the official home now (or again) for the OCaml bindings of libvirt. This means that you need to clone again the libvirt-ocaml repository, in case you had already a clone of this repository. In case you had pending work on it, make sure to carry it over from an old clone to a newer clone. As usual, if you have patches for libvirt-ocaml, feel free to send them to libvir-list, tagging them as [ocaml]. -- Pino Toscano

[libvirt-users] how libvirt check qemu domain status?
by Dmitry Melekhov 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

Hello! Could you tell me how libvirtd check qemu domain status? Looks like this is something more then just looking for pid. Because we have VMs running over gluster storage using gfapi and if something goes wrong, then libvirtd became unresponsive often enough.. Thank you!

[libvirt-users] live migration and config
by Dmitry Melekhov 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hello! After some mistakes yesterday we ( me and my colleague ) think that it will be wise for libvirt to check config file existence on remote side and through error if not, before migrating, otherwise migration will fail and VM fs can be damaged, because it is sort of remove of power plug... We missed twice yesterday :-( Could you tell me is there already such option or any plans to implement this? Thank you!

[libvirt-users] Libvirt 4.2.0 hang on destination on live migration cancel

03 Oct '18

I'm trying the following command on the source machine: virsh migrate --live --copy-storage-all --verbose TEST qemu+ssh:// 10.30.76.66/system If I ssh into the destination machine when this command is running, I can see NBD copying data as expected, and if I wait long enough it completes and succeeds.

However on my CentOS 6 machines I have 4.2.0, and do experience this issue. Upgrading to 4.7.0 on CentOS 6 is troublesome though, because of the requirement of gnutls >= 3.2.

[libvirt-users] This QEMU doesn't support the LSI 53C895A SCSI controller
by Gionatan Danti 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Hi all, trying to edit a domain xml to enable an LSI SCSI controller I get the following error: error: unsupported configuration: This QEMU doesn't support the LSI 53C895A SCSI controller It is my understanding that the error is raised due to RedHat disabling this controller in its own qemu-kvm builds. This seems an unfortunate decision, as it makes harder to migrate from VMWare (which uses LSI SCSI and SAS adapters) to RH+KVM. Can anyone elaborate on this decision? It is possible to enable LSI controller support in RedHat 7.x? Should I open a BZ against it?

[libvirt-users] Libvirt TLS with Short Lived Certificates
by Charles Urquiola 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

I want to use short lived certificates with libvirtd to provided TLS access to the daemon. New certificates are generated on a daily basis and delivered to the host. Does libvirtd re-read TLS certificates with a reload of the service, systemctl reload libvirtd, or with a SIGHUP or is a full restart of the daemon required? --charlie

[libvirt-users] Which objects does dynamic_ownership apply to?
by Milan Zamazal 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Hi, I'm playing with dynamic ownership and not all objects have their owners changed. Is dynamic_ownership and its scope documented somewhere, besides the comment in qemu.conf? And what kinds of objects are handled by dynamic ownership? While some objects seem to be handled, other objects are apparently unaffected. For instance /dev/hwrng or a USB host device keep their root owners and are inaccessible to the VM. Is that expected or do I have anything wrong? Thanks, Milan
