Hi, I have successfully installed libvirt-.0.10.0 from source ./configure make make install How can I check that if libvirt-python is installed? Search the folders, it seems there is no such file [root@tiger ~]# find /usr/ -name libvirt-python [root@tiger ~]# find . -name libvirt-python [root@tiger ~]# Regards, Mahmood

[libvirt-users] how to use virtio-blk-data-plane in libvirt
by Hui Kai Ran 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hi, I learned that there is a new technology - virtio-blk-data-plane introduced in qemu to bring a leap in IO performance to KVM. Has this feature been supported in libvirt? if it's, how to configure xml to support this feature? thanks.

[libvirt-users] libvirt-sandbox on Ubuntu with SELinux
by boden 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

I'm attempting to build/use libvirt-sandbox on Ubuntu 12.xx. Although I'm still working through dependency issues (including the need for libvirt >= 1.0.2 which is not packaged for ubuntu 12.xx) to build the sandbox code, I have a forward looking question. It appears libvirt-bin for Ubuntu likes apparmor as does most Ubuntu based packages using a LSM impl. However, as I understand libvirt-sandbox is integrated with SELinux to provide security isolation of containers... My question becomes -- *should* libvirt-sandbox work on Ubuntu assuming I use the ubuntu libvirt-bin package and replace apparmor with selinux? Or am I flat out walking into quicksand on Ubuntu here? Without the security aspect of libvirt-sandbox, I wonder if its viable on ubuntu for those looking to mitigate container security? Thanks

[libvirt-users] virsh and multi source-dev
by Matthieu Simonin 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hi, I'm using LVM based storage pools and I'm wondering if there is a way to specify several source-dev on the command line for creating a volume group spread over several devices : one device /dev/sdc1 is ok: * virsh pool-define-as --name lvmpool --type logical --source-dev /dev/sdc1 --source-name vg --target /dev/vg I would like something like (but sadly doesn't work): ? virsh pool-define-as --name lvmpool --type logical --source-dev /dev/sdc1 --source-dev /dev/sdb1 --source-name vg --target /dev/vg ? Best regards, Matt

[libvirt-users] Using hostdev to plug a PCI-E host device into Q35 pcie-root port
by Thomas Kuther 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hello, I'm trying to migrate a working qemu command line configuration to libvirt. The part I'm currently failing on is: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -M Q35 ... -device vfio-pci,host=05:00.0,bus=pcie.0 The right way to translate this into libvirt XML seems to be using <hostdev>, but I seem to be unable to plug it into the pcie-root port This is how the interesting part looks like when I let "virsh edit" generate an <address> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'/> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> [...] <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x03' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> [...] To my understanding, this will plug the host device into the pci-bridge controller. The guest OS doesn't boot with this and resets right after bios. Manually setting <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1E' function='0x0'/> cause XML validation failure. Is there any way in libvirt XML to plug a host's PCI-E device directly into the pcie-root port, like it works on qemu command line? I'm aware I could use something like <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=05:00.0,bus=pcie.0'/> </qemu:commandline> but I insist on running the VM as non-root, and if I got that right I need to configure at least one vfio device (or memory locking) in order for libvirt to set a proper RLIMIT_MEMLOCK value. Any help would be be appreciated. Regards, Thomas
