[libvirt-users] drive-backup command permission denied.. and need some clarification
by Jd 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hi * Trying to get drive-backup command, getting permission denied. :( sudo virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp my-instance --cmd drive_backup drive-virtio-disk0 /tmp/foo.vda.img Looks like apparmor issue. What can I modify to make this work ? * Couple of other questions drive-backup : * The doc seems to claim that it gives a point in time copy of the drive. So I assume that no need to take any snapshot etc.. and merge back in. * does it internally use snapshot ? Does this hook in to doing fsfreeze and unfreeze using guest agent and does it automagically ? I do not see any options here. * Suppose I have base <-- sn1 --<-- sn2 (QEMU active) . does it take data from sn2 only ? or base+sn1+sn2 .. full drive and creates a new qcow2 sparse file. Thanks /Jd

[libvirt-users] Fwd: Hotadd memory and hotplug cpu
by ra va 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hello, Does KVM support hotadd memory and hot-plug cpu? I checked it using the virsh command but I can only increase the memory to the maximum memory that is initially set But setmaxmem command is failing. Which means this require a reboot of the guest # virsh setmaxmem 4 1048576 error: Unable to change MaxMemorySize error: Requested operation is not valid: cannot resize the maximum memory on an active domain #virsh setvcpus 4 4 error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'cpu-add': Not supported Thanks ravargs

[libvirt-users] VGA as vfio-pci and vnc server's blank/black display
by lejeczek 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

hi, I'm having a Radeon as vfio-pci, which seems to work perfectly fine, but... Qemu's model type='vga' gets "exlaimed" in win2k8's Device Manager with: " Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) " Now, that does not bother me that much as all I need on regular basis is RDP but VNC connection gets me nowhere. I get blank/black screen, it connects without errors/problems but nothing more. I know you would say VGA passthrough is only supported for very few VGA adapters but is the situation I describe normal/expected? regards

Good morning, there is a typo in my description; the line <address domain='0x0' bus='0x1' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> should be <address domain='0x0' bus='0x2' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> That was correct in my xml-file.

[libvirt-users] Fixed Public IP to VM Guest
by Joel A Divekar 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Hi All We have setup a Centos7 host server with KVM and have created multiple VM running Ubuntu 14.04 using virt-manager. All VMs are having forward mode as "NAT" and using internal DHCP IP address 192.168.122.x series and we gave them fixed ips based on their mac address. Now all these VMs are able to access Internet and able to run update on all these guest OS. But these VMs are web and API servers and they are required to be accessible from Internet. We have pool of public IPs and have assigned host with one public IP for example, we have pool like 192.168.111.1 to 192.168.111.25. We have assigned 192.168.111.2 to Host server and would like to assign 192.168.111.3 to Webserver and 192.168.111.4 to API server. So we changed our virsh network settings from default to routed as <forward mode='route' dev='em1'> and struggling to configure fixed IPs for our VMs. We would like to do exactly as mentioned in this link https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/ht… We have been struggling with this for last 3 days and no luck. Please can anybody guide us. Regards Joel Divekar

[libvirt-users] live migration to localhost with lvm based storage
by Vasiliy Tolstov 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

I have lvm based (thin pool) storage on local disks. I need to move vps from one vg on one disk to another. Does it possible to migrate to localhost with blockcopy migration to another vg? I'm understand that i can move lv from one vg to another, but i don't need that. -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru jabber: vase(a)selfip.ru

[libvirt-users] is memoryBacking support 'share' and 'mem-path' parameter
by Linhaifeng 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi, I want to use this qemu command '-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=2048M,mem-path=/mnt/huge,share=on' with libvirt but i can't find the 'mem-path' and 'share' in the documentation. because the vhost-user backend based on 'share=on' parameter and libvirt support vhostuser i guess there maybe another way to support this parameter? this is my xml: <cpu> <numa> <cell id='0' cpus='0' memory='1048576' memAccess='shared'/> <cell id='1' cpus='1' memory='1048576' memAccess='shared'/> </numa> </cpu> <memoryBacking> <hugepages> <page size="2" unit="M" nodeset="0,1"/> </hugepages>   </memoryBacking> <interface type='vhostuser'> <mac address='52:54:00:3b:83:1a'/> <source type='unix' path='/path/port1' mode='client'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> <interface type='vhostuser'> <mac address='52:54:00:3b:83:1b'/> <source type='unix' path='/path/port2' mode='client'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> when i create the VM the qemu command is like this without 'share=on' parameter: -object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu,size=1024M,id=ram-node0 -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0 -object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu,size=1024M,id=ram-node1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1,memdev=ram-node1

[libvirt-users] Question about vnc connection password set to empty
by Wei Zhang 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hello, everybody here I have a question about graphical buffers for rhel7. Thanks so much in advance who can give me some suggestions about that. When I try to do regression for bug859317(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859317) on RHEL7， I found that guest could be connected success with virt-viewer when set/update the graphics passwd to empty. But according to comment 2 in this bug, libvirt will blocks all access to the VNC server when set a password to empty. So could you please help us check is it acceptable on RHEL7? Below is my test steps on RHEL7: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-1.2.8-3.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.0-5.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-150.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Define guest with a graphics device like: ......................................... <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' passwd=""/> ......................................... 2. Connecting with vncviewer or virt-viewer . # virsh start dom2 # virsh dumpxml dom2 --security-info |grep graphics <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1' passwd=''> </graphics> # virt-viewer dom2 connect the guest success with empty password 3. The problem can be reproduced when changed the graphics passwd from an non-empty to an empty # virsh dumpxml dom2 --security-info |grep graphics <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1' passwd='123'> </graphics> # cat change-passwd.xml <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1' passwd=''/> # virsh update-device dom2 change-passwd.xml # virsh dumpxml dom2 --security-info |grep graphics <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1' passwd=''> </graphics> login the guest with virt-viewer command # virt-viewer testks also can connect the guest dom2 success with empty password 4. I produce the same steps on RHEL6.6 libvirt-0.10.2-46.el6.x86_64, the guest can not be connected when set graphics vnc password to empty, the same result with bug 859317. Actual results: we can login the guest when set the graphics passwd empty Expected results: I am not sure what is the right behaviour for RHEL7? thank

[libvirt-users] virsh net-start default fails
by David Roundy 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi all, I'm getting an error, and have failed to succeed in googling for help with it. I have an old VM that I created a while back (at least one reboot ago, possibly a kernel upgrade ago), and am now finding that it won't start due to a lack of the 'default' network. When I look for how to fix this, everyone seems to agree on the command: # virsh net-start default error: failed to get network 'default' error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown But this fails. A natural next check would be to use net-list: # virsh net-list --all Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- Which demonstrates that the 'default' network is unknown. I'm certain that it used to exist, and the file /var/lib/libvirt/network/default.xml does exist, claims to be autogenerated and looks reasonable. I am at a loss as to how to debug this further. Any suggestions? -- David Roundy
