[libvirt-users] Libvirt support for windows
by varun bhatnagar 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi, I want to use libvirt for windows but when i try to launch virsh it gives an error message saying "*error: invalid argument in transport methods unix, ssh and ext are not supported under Windows"* The version which I downloaded is libvirt-0.8.8.exe. I want to connect to two virtualization techniques --- *Virtualbox* and *VMWare* If libvirt is not supported on windows then is there any other tool or API which supports multiple virtualization technology? Thanks in advance..!!!!

[libvirt-users] http problem with (a particular url) and default (nat) networking
by John McFarlane 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

At work I have a script that provisions a vm for use by employees. One step in this process is to fetch hadoop, which we happen to get from cloudera. I noticed the script always failed when I used libvirt's default networking (nat) but worked fine when I used user mode networking. My instinct is that this is related to (potentially uncommon) network traffic from the server in question, and the iptables rules added by libvirt. Repro steps: 1. Create a vm (I tested with linux and freebsd guests) using default libvirt networking settings (<interface type='network'>). 2. wget, curl, fetch: http://archive.cloudera.com/one-click-install/lucid/cdh3-repository_1.0_all… Observe it will "hang". If you use strace you'll see it block on the select call. My particular host is using a virbr0 network bridge, with the following iptables rules: $ iptables -S -v -Z -P INPUT ACCEPT -c 404828 91071544 -P FORWARD ACCEPT -c 0 0 -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -c 402905 45139291 -A INPUT -i virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -c 26 1703 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i virbr0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -c 0 0 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 67 -c 70 22960 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i virbr0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 67 -c 0 0 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -d 192.168.122.0/24 -o virbr0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -c 1191 1495856 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s 192.168.122.0/24 -i virbr0 -c 853 64266 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i virbr0 -o virbr0 -c 6 1968 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -o virbr0 -c 0 0 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A FORWARD -i virbr0 -c 0 0 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable Zeroing chain `INPUT' Zeroing chain `FORWARD' Zeroing chain `OUTPUT' I'm not sure how best to diagnose this problem. Any ideas or tips? Thanks! John M.

[libvirt-users] not able to stop vmware player node through libvirt API
by varun bhatnagar 28 Jan '13

Hi, I have started one node through libvirt API using its start method. I am trying to stop that node using the *destroy *method provided by the API but I am not able to do so. Instead, I am getting one message saying: *libvir: error: internal error Child process (vmrun -T player stop /root/test_folder/myImage.vmx soft) unexpected exit status 255* Can anybody tell me why I am not able to stop the node. Thanks in advance. :)

[libvirt-users] limit memory and CPU when using libvirt-sandbox
by pablo platt 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

I'm considering using virt-sandbox with lxc to sandbox and execute untrusted code like python scripts and compiled C code. Is it possible to limit CPU and Memory like is possible with lxc-execute and a config file? What are the defaults security settings? Is it completely isolated by default? What's the difference between lxc-execute and libvirt-sandbox? How can I use it in ubuntu? Thanks

Hi, I am having issue while doing *ssh* to a virtual node through libvirt. The nodes's ip address is 192.168.82.1.

Thanks in advance.

by 韩诚 24 Jan '13

Hi, Paolo, All, I read "virtio-scsi support proposal v2"(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.libvirt/50428) Try to add a virtio-scsi with scsi-generic like this: <hostdev type='scsi'> <source> <adapter name='scsi_host0'/> <address type='scsi' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </source> <target> <address type='scsi' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/> </target> </hostdev> But It turn out to be wrong, showing: error: Failed to define domain from rhel63ga error: XML error: unknown host device source address type 'scsi_host' I'd like to know how shall to add a virtio-scsi disk with scsi-generic option. Thanks~ -- Best regards, Cheng

Re: [libvirt-users] snapshot troubles
by Christian Schmidt 23 Jan '13

Hi Juergen, if you are using kvm/qemu with libvirt you can try to delete the snapshot with the qemu monitor commands. The general syntax is virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp <domain> '<command> [...]' So you can try virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOMINO1-prealloc 'info snapshots' and thne delete it with the provided snapshot ID virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOMINO1-prealloc 'delvm <ID>' This will delete the snapshot from your diskimage.

[libvirt-users] snapshot troubles
by jurgen.depicker＠let.be 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Dear all, I created some snapshots, a long time ago, using the xml description option, so the snapshots have a name with a space in it... Really a bad choice apparently, since it seems impossible to delete them now: I cannot find how to enter the snapshot name properly due to the space. Quotes don't seem to help; escaping the space doesn't help either. Anybody knows how to solve this? eg: snapshot-delete DOMINO1-prealloc --snapshotname 'W2K3-virgin install' error: Domain snapshot not found: no snapshot with matching name ''W2K3-virgin' (-> notive also the extra ' added ) root@VLET3:~# time virsh snapshot-delete DOMINO1-prealloc "W2K3-virgin\ install" error: unexpected data 'install' Thanks, Juergen
