Hi, I started using libvirt few days back...while using virDomainMemoryStats API, got "unknown procedure: 159" runtime error code is ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- virDomainMemoryStatPtr statPtr; statPtr = malloc(VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_NR* sizeof (virDomainMemoryStatStruct)); unsigned int flags=0; int Ret; Ret = virDomainMemoryStats(domPtr,statPtr, VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_NR,flags); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Machine details: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 hellolibvirt]# uname -a Linux wlng-ppcore-nd3 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:39 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 hellolibvirt]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ virsh details: [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 hellolibvirt]# virsh version Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.1 Using library: libvir 0.8.1 Using API: QEMU 0.8.1 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.9.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are two libvirtd installations here.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 sbin]# pwd /usr/sbin [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 sbin]# ls -l libvirtd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 380064 Jun 10 02:33 libvirtd [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 sbin]# ./libvirtd --version ./libvirtd (libvirt) 0.6.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 sbin]# pwd /usr/local/sbin [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 sbin]# ls -l total 3084 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3152977 Jun 10 01:25 libvirtd [root@wlng-ppcore-nd3 sbin]# ./libvirtd --version ./libvirtd (libvirt) 0.8.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ found a link which mentions libvirtd can be old hence this error is possible... not sure how to configure the latest libvirtd?

Re: [libvirt-users] upgrading from 0.7.2 to 0.8.1
by Todd, John A 08 Jun '10

I'm still interested in knowing what vbox:///system is, but I figured out that I have manually specify -with-xen when building to get Xen support. If after I get the Xen development package and rebuild it still doesn't work, I'll drop a line here. - JT From: Todd, John A Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 1:39 PM To: 'libvirt-users(a)redhat.com' Subject: upgrading from 0.7.2 to 0.8.1 Hi, I had 0.7.2 running as an out-of-the-box version of libvirtd I ran xend and it could connect to xen:/// (with virsh) I'm trying to build a eucalyptus cloud and its not working, saying 'cannot connect to xen:///' and I don't know why. So I figure I'd get the source and try and figure it out....and upgrade while I was at it. I got 0.8.1 from source, built it and installed it. First of all, it installed everything using /usr/local as its root, is this configurable? I mean doing that it left my 0.7.2 still there and I had to do some magic to replace it with the new stuff. Now it connects to vbox:///system fine, but can't see xen:/// What's vbox:///system anyway? Could it be my xend is talking to old binaries? (though I don't know what they would be exactly) Is there some configuration (beyond the certificate stuff which I did to get libvirt actually up and running) with 0.8.1 (or in general as configuration for 0.7.2 was done behind the scene as part of OS install) That I need to do so it can connect to xen:/// again?

[libvirt-users] Best practices on backingup/restore VMs
by Arthur Pemberton 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

I just moved from F11 to F13 and I'm find no information on the best way to restore VMs. I had just copied /var/lib/libvirt (with the VMs off) as part of my backup (I already backup all of /etc). But virt-manager doesn't allow creations of VMs without installing. Also, as a side note, the search feature on the website doesn't seem to allow me to search using documentation only. -- Fedora 13 (www.pembo13.com)

[libvirt-users] Dual-boot and also use raw disk in virtual machine
by Richard Walker 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

I've got a new computer with two SATA disks. I installed a minimal Fedora 13 64-bit on the first disk. I shut down the computer, unplugged the first disk, booted up and installed Windows 7 on the second disk. Then I shut down, and plugged the first disk back in. I added a grub option to boot Windows from the second disk. All fine so far - I had a working dual boot system. Then in F13 using virt-manager I created a virtual machine using the second disk as a raw disk. Well, the only option I had (using virt-manager, at least) was to configure it as an IDE disk. Booting this virtual machine gets as far as "Starting Windows", and the animation appears (a dot or two), and then BSOD. Running the Windows diagnosis didn't help. I gave up. Then, keeping the same virtual machine configuration, I installed Windows 7 again into the virtual machine. I shut down the computer and booted from the second disk. Saw "Starting Windows", and the animation got a bit further, but got a BSOD again. Now running sfdisk -l /dev/sdb in the F13 host shows: Disk /dev/sdb: 121601 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 0+ 12- 13- 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS start: (c,h,s) expected (0,32,33) found (2,0,33) end: (c,h,s) expected (12,223,19) found (205,3,19) /dev/sdb2 12+ 121601- 121589- 976657408 7 HPFS/NTFS start: (c,h,s) expected (12,223,20) found (205,3,20) end: (c,h,s) expected (1023,254,63) found (1023,15,63) /dev/sdb3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/sdb4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty So there is some obvious disagreement about the partition table. Am I going to be able to get this to work?

[libvirt-users] Virsh blkstat doesn't work on Xen HVM
by 張文哲 03 Jun '10

Hi I tried to use virsh blkstat to get information of a block, but it returns an error message as shown below This function works fine in KVM, but fail in XEN. I tried XEN 3.4.3 ,4.0.0 and 4.0.1 with libvirt 0.7.1 from fedora yum server and 0.8.1 from libvirt . All of them are fail to get the block status. The following is the config file and error message of virsh domblkstat. Any one knows how to make this function work?

Hi Everyone, When I try and assign a physical device to a guest using virt-manager, libvirt throws an error: "Failed to create inactive domain" I'm using libvirt 0.8.1 which I compiled myself, along with Xen 4.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 Dom0 I'm also using virt-manager 0.8.4 which I compiled myself. Any help would be appreciated Thanks
