[libvirt-users] add disk problems for domain
by zhijun liu 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

hi,all I use Java api `domain.attachDeviceFlags(xml, 0);` to add a disk for domain. the xml file like this: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/dev/sp1353486595267/v1353488096262'/> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> </disk> then I use command `virsh detach-disk $domain vdb` to remove the disk. what I said above have no any errors.but the problem is when I restart this vm ,the disk still exist,because I see it from the command `virsh dumpxml $domain` ,how to remove the disk from this domain persistently. thanks in advance. >zhijun

[libvirt-users] Virtualbox support - documentation
by Brian Candler 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

At http://libvirt.org/drvvbox.html it says: "The libvirt VirtualBox driver can manage any VirtualBox version from version 2.2 onwards" However it looks like 4.2 is yet implemented. Perhaps the page could be updated? Thanks, Brian Candler. P.S. I see work is ongoing in this area: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg00038.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-November/msg00575.html

[libvirt-users] unable to ping from guests in virbr0 to guests in virbr1 network
by mallapadi niranjan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi all, I have 3 guests (2-RHEL4 and 1 RHEL6) and have some issues regarding networking between them. The 2 RHEL4 system's use default bridge virbr0 and get ip's of range 192.168.122.0/24 (192.168.122.207, 192.168.122.167) I created another bridge (virbr1) with NAT forwarding (no dhcp). The network i choose was 192.168.100.0/24. And the third system (RHEL6) was assigned static ip-addres 192.168.100.101, >From the RHEL6 system which uses virbr1 is able to ping systems in 192.168.122.0/24 series , but guest systems in 192.168.122.0/24 are not able to ping RHEL6 system (in virbr1) network. >From the RHEL4 guests i am able to ping the gateway ip's (192.168.122.1, 192.168.100.1) , but not the RHEL6 system Versions: Fedora release 16 (Verne) libvirt-0.9.6.3-1.fc16.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.15.1-8.fc16.x86_64 Any hints on what could be the problem Regards Niranjan

[libvirt-users] how to make the volume's format to qcow2 when creating volume
by zhijun liu 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

hi,all the following are files of pool and volume. storage pool is based on logical(LVM) and iscsi,now I create volume specified the format to "qcow2" *pool.xml* <pool type='logical'> <name>pool_190</name> <source> <device path='/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.0.190:3260-iscsi-iqn.2012-11.com.cloudking:server.target1-lun-1'/> </source> <target> <path>/dev/pool_190</path> </target> </pool> *volume.xml* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <volume> <name>volume1</name> <capacity unit="GB">1</capacity> <target> <format type="qcow2" /> </target> </volume> *the problmes is :when the volume created successfully,However, the volume's format is 'raw'* like this image: /dev/pool_190/volume1 *file format: raw* virtual size: 1.0G (1073741824 bytes) disk size: 0 how to resolve this troublesome. libvirt :0.9.8 os:ubuntu12.04 many thanks for any reply....

Then the start off point will be CentOS' srpms. You might still need to do some patchwork and testing before you get a working rpm (a reason why there's no third party repo for latest kvm and libvirt).
