Hi, I'm trying to create a snapshot from a KVM VM: # virsh snapshot-create one-5 error: unsupported configuration: internal checkpoints require at least one disk to be selected for snapshot How can I debug this error message and what does it mean? Some system information: * Ubuntu 13.04 64Bit * virsh --version: 1.0.2 * The XML of the VM is below Thanks for all help...

[libvirt-users] QemuAgentCommand API documents
by Praveen Kumar 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi, I was going through the maillist[0] and found virDomainQemuAgentCommand() support function added to python module. I also checked the API documentation and didn't able to find any pointer for this particular function. Is API documentation[1] not updated with these function details yet or I am looking to a wrong place? Another question is I am using libvirt-1.0.5.5-1.fc19.x86_64 and using virsh with qemu-agent-command I am able to execute stuff from host. but I am not able to find any API method to do that, any suggestions?

[libvirt-users] Running hypervisor upgrade problem
by Naor Shlomo 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hello experts, I tried upgrading libvirt and compiled version 1.1.1 The problem is that when I run "virsh version" I get the following output: Compiled against library: libvirt 1.1.1 Using library: libvirt 1.1.1 Using API: QEMU 1.1.1 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.1 The problem is that it reports that the Running hypervisor is: QEMU 0.12.1 I wanted to upgrade everything to the latest stable so I also upgraded the qemu-kvm to 1.5.2 but for some reason the reported qemu hypervisor is left outdated. Could you please tell me why is that and how do I upgrade it to the latest? Thanks in advance, Naor

[libvirt-users] lxc-enter-namespace not supportted with python?
by hzguanqiang＠corp.netease.com 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi, Daniel. It seems that the virsh command 'lxc-enter-namespace' encapsulates several functions just as 'virDomainLxcOpenNamespace', 'virDomainGetSecurityLabel', 'virDomainLxcEnterSecurityLabel' , 'virDomainLxcEnterNamespace', 'virFork', etc. And I found only 'virDomainLxcOpenNamespace' is provided by python package 'libvirtmod_lxc '. Does this mean that 'lxc-enter-namespace' can only be used through virsh command and not supported with python? Thanks ------------------ Best regards! GuanQiang 2013-08-21

[libvirt-users] Stop the relabeling of CD images
by Cristian Ciupitu 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi, I'm installing the operating system for my virtual machines from CD images and I would like for libvirtd to stop relabeling the corresponding files. Since the installation media is no big secret, I have labeled the files with system_u:object_r:public_content_t:s0, but libvirtd keeps changing them to system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0. It also changes the ownership to qemu:qemu. This means that I can not make the files immutable (chattr +i). The XML dump of the machine looks like this : <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/extra/Software/Linux/Fedora/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-19/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-19-1.iso'> <seclabel relabel='no'/> </source> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <shareable/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> I am using libvirt-daemon-1.1.1-2.fc19.x86_64. You might also find interesting bug #568935 [1]. So how do I stop libvirtd from changing the permissions of the CD images? Thank you, Cristian Ciupitu [1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=568935

Hi, I want to create/attach two "internal" and one "host-only" interface to my node created by libvirt on ESX hypervisor. Is it possible to do so? If yes can anyone send a template of xml file? If it is not possible then is there any alternative for this? Regards, Varun

Hi, I have couple of RHEV hosts (ovpxen,RHV2, RHV10 etc) and i'm trying to connect from one of the client machine (C1). All the RHEV host have libvirt modified by vdsm. It looks like the below ## beginning of configuration section by vdsm-4.10.2 listen_addr="0.0.0.0" unix_sock_group="kvm" unix_sock_rw_perms="0770" auth_unix_rw="sasl" host_uuid="036118ab-705f-4aeb-9a13-013dc8af6b41" keepalive_interval=-1 log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirtd.log" log_filters="3:virobject 3:virfile 2:virnetlink 3:cgroup 3:event 3:json 1:libvirt 1:util 1:qemu" ca_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem" cert_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem" key_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem" ## end of configuration section by vdsm-4.10.2 # ls bkp-2013-08-16_110734_cacert.pem cacert.pem vdsmcert.pem bkp-2013-08-16_110734_vdsmcert.pem engine_web_ca.pem [root@ovpxen certs]# pwd /etc/pki/vdsm/certs [root@ovpxen certs]# certtool -i --infile engine_web_ca.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 09 Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Wed Jan 23 13:24:14 UTC 2013 Not After: Sun Jan 22 07:54:14 UTC 2023 Subject: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 1024): certtool -i --infile cacert.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 09 Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Wed Jan 23 13:24:14 UTC 2013 Not After: Sun Jan 22 07:54:14 UTC 2023 Subject: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 1024): [root@ovpxen certs]# certtool -i --infile vdsmcert.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 0c Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Thu Aug 15 11:09:22 UTC 2013 Not After: Wed Aug 15 05:39:22 UTC 2018 Subject: O=HP,CN=16.184.46.53 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 2048): Now from the client C1 which cert should i place in /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem so that i can access from the client using the URI qemu+tls://ovpxen.ind.hp.com/system. Please note the host IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com is ovirt managed host. It is not the client. My problem here is i can't change the hypervisor hosts as there are too many of them and it is configured by vdsm . What certs should i take from host so that i can use it in the client so that i can connect to multiple hosts from the client using virsh or virt-manager . I need tls as remote protocol as i'm trying to automate commands. Regards, Navin

[libvirt-users] Libvirt Sandbox mini-website
by Daniel P. Berrange 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

While we've been working on it for a little while, we've never really had any content on libvirt.org focusing on the libvirt sandbox toolkit. To address this content gap, I've started a small website to provide useful info around their design, technology & usage. http://sandbox.libvirt.org/ Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
