[libvirt-users] Creating network interfaces with specific name in LXC
by Harish Vishwanath 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Hello I am trying to create interfaces within an LXC container with specific name. I am using the following XML: <interface type='network' name='blah'> <source network='dpbr_n_0'/> </interface> This doesn't seem to work; it always ends up creating interface with name as "eth0". I found some examples here: http://libvirt.org/guide/html/Application_Development_Guide-Network_Interfa… That uses interface type as "ethernet" and specifies name also, If I do that, I get back an error while starting the container as "Unsupported network type ethernet". Appreciate your help. Regards, Harish

[libvirt-users] problem connecting to libvirtd remotely; compiled from sources
by Andrei Perietanu 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

I am trying to add libvirt to a linux machine running a custom built linux- there is no packet manager, everything is compiled using buildroot. On this VM server, I am running libvirt-1.2.2 and the linux kernel is 3.18.21 Libvirtd starts and runs in the background. I can add/edit VMs using Virt-install. If I try to connect to the local qemu, everything works: virsh -c qemu:///system If I ssh in from the remote machine, as root, and run virsh, everything seems to work But if I try to connect using virt-manager, or *virsh -c qemu+ssh://root@<server_ip>/system* I get an error: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: Cannot recv data: ssh: connect to host 10.10.200.85 port 22: Connection refused: Connection reset by peer Any ideas?

[libvirt-users] GUEST Memory statistics secret revealed ...
by Jean-Pierre Ribeauville 31 Oct '15

31 Oct '15

Hi, I'm wondering how to explain following metrics I got from libvirt, regarding memory stats for the two GUESTS running on my host. 1) virDomainGetXMLDesc() shows these values : memmax (1024000.000000) memcurrent(1024000.000000) memmax (2048000.000000) .memcurrent(2048000.000000) 2) As values returned by virDomainMemoryStats(), I got these values : VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_ACTUAL_BALLOON: active_balloon (1024000.000000) active_balloon (2048000.000000) VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_RSS: rss(1194195.312500) rss(2039269.531250 3) By using cgroup counters "memory.usage_in_bytes" for both Guests, I got these values : memusage (1 207 207 031 250) memusage (2 834 503 906 250) How is it possible to have a balloon size equal to memcurrent ? What "memory.usage_in_bytes" stands for (it's the maximum value of the three metrics I got for each GUEST) ? FYI , I use a 1.2.8 libvirt. Thanks. Reagrds, J.P. Ribeauville P: +33.(0).1.47.17.20.49 .

[libvirt-users] How to retrieve legacy cgroups location ?
by Jean-Pierre Ribeauville 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hi, As told in "Control Groups Resource Management" libvirt page : Legacy cgroups layout Prior to libvirt 1.0.5, the cgroups layout created by libvirt was different from that described above, and did not allow for administrator customization. Libvirt used a fixed, 3-level hierarchy libvirt/{qemu,lxc}/$VMNAME which was rooted at the point in the hierarchy where libvirtd itself was located. So if libvirtd was placed at /system/libvirtd.service by systemd, the groups for each virtual machine / container would be located at /system/libvirtd.service/libvirt/{qemu,lxc}/$VMNAME. In addition to this, the QEMU drivers further child groups for each vCPU thread and the emulator thread(s). This leads to a hierarchy that looked like I'm trying to retrieve this layout : $ROOT | +- system | +- libvirtd.service | +- libvirt | +- qemu | | | +- vm1 | | | | | +- emulator | | +- vcpu0 | | +- vcpu1 | | | +- vm2 | | | | | +- emulator | | +- vcpu0 | | +- vcpu1 | | | +- vm3 | | | +- emulator | +- vcpu0 | +- vcpu1 How may I find where systemd has placed libvirtd ? I use libvirt 0.10.2 on a RHEL6 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 Thx for help. J.P. Ribeauville P: +33.(0).1.47.17.20.49 .

[libvirt-users] virsh can't support VM offline blockcommit
by justlibvirt＠gmail.com 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hi everyone! I use the libvirt(version: 1.2.2) and QEMU(version: 2.2.1) to test qemu snapshot features: I tried virsh blockcommit when VM offline, the virsh blockcommit failed: the error messase as below: error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running when I start the VM, the virsh blockcommit work fine! my question is：we need virsh support blockcommit when VM offline。how do？ we test qemu snapshot as follows： we need create snapshot of the cycle，and by virsh blockcommit merge snapshot chain，but when VM offline， the virsh blockcommit will fail， someone suggest me：when VM offline，may use qemu-img commit to submit snapshot turn，but qemu-img can't modify snapshot chain backing relation，it need we use qemu-img rebase amend snapshot‘s backingfile， the main question is when we use qemu-img rebase modify snapshot's backingfile, if someone start the VM, it will may lead to VM filesystem readonly。 we should how to solve the question? thanks! justlibvirt(a)gmail.com
