Libvirt driver iothread property for virtio-scsi disks
by Nir Soffer 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

The docs[1] say: - The optional iothread attribute assigns the disk to an IOThread as defined by the range for the domain iothreads value. Multiple disks may be assigned to the same IOThread and are numbered from 1 to the domain iothreads value. Available for a disk device target configured to use "virtio" bus and "pci" or "ccw" address types. Since 1.2.8 (QEMU 2.1) Does it mean that virtio-scsi disks do not use iothreads? I'm experiencing a horrible performance using nested vms (up to 2 levels of nesting) when accessing NFS storage running on one of the VMs. The NFS server is using scsi disk. My theory is: - Writing to NFS server is very slow (too much nesting, slow disk) - Not using iothreads (because we don't use virtio?) - Guest CPU is blocked by slow I/O Does this make sense?

proper config for qemu's host_cdrom
by daggs 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

Greetings, I was wondering what is the proper way to configure a scsi cdrom pass-through so in when the qemu line is generated, host_Cdrom will be used instead of host_device. looking at https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/qemu/qemu_block.c#L1090, I see that hostcdrom must be true. in order for that to be true, the following must be (see https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/qemu/qemu_domain.c#L71…) 1. disk->device == VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_CDROM 2. disksrc->format == VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW 3. virStorageSourceIsBlockLocal(disksrc) 4. virFileIsCDROM(disksrc->path) == 1 virFileIsCDROM uses the kernel, so I assume that as disksrc->path points to the actual path (I can see it in the qemu line) than #4 returns 1. the other 3 are more complicated. my xml snippet is this: <devices> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' rawio='yes'> <source> <adapter name='scsi_host0'/> <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </source> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </hostdev> </devices> Thanks, Dagg

about the new added attributes "check" and "type" for interface mac element
by Yalan Zhang 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

Hi all, I have done some tests for the new attributes "check" and "type", could you please help to have a check? And I have some questions about the patch, please help to have a look, Thank you! The questions: 1. in step 4 below, the error message should be updated: Actual results: XML error: invalid mac address **check** value: 'next'. Valid values are "generated" and "static". expected results: XML error: invalid mac address **type** value: 'next'. Valid values are "generated" and "static". 2. I have checked the vmware OUI definition and found this: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking… it says the VMware OUI is 00:50:56, not 00:0c:29 in the patches. Am I missing something? 3. Could you please tell more about the user story? as I can not understand the scenario when " it will ignore all the checks libvirt does about the origin of the MAC address(whether or not it's in a VMWare OUI) and forward the original one to the ESX server telling it not to check it either". Does it happen when we try to transform a kvm guest to a vmware guest? 4. How to test it as a libvirt QE? Are the test scenarios below enough without ESX env? Test steps: 1. Start vm with different configuration with mac in "00:0c:29" range: # virsh dumpxml rhel | grep /interface -B12 ... <interface type='network'> <mac address='00:0c:29:e7:9b:cb' type='generated' check='yes'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='network'> <mac address='00:0c:29:3b:e0:50' type='static' check='no'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0d' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='network'> <mac address='00:0c:29:73:f6:dc' type='generated' check='no'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0e' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='network'> <mac address='00:0c:29:aa:dc:6c' type='static' check='yes'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0f' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> # virsh start rhel Domain rhel started 2. login guest and check the interfaces: # ip addr ... 2: enp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0c:29:e7:9b:cb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.142/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp5s0 valid_lft 3584sec preferred_lft 3584sec inet6 fe80::351c:686a:863e:4a7f/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: enp11s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0c:29:3b:e0:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.202/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp11s0 valid_lft 3584sec preferred_lft 3584sec inet6 fe80::2b79:4675:6c59:6822/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: enp12s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0c:29:73:f6:dc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.33/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp12s0 valid_lft 3584sec preferred_lft 3584sec inet6 fe80::e43d:555:ba85:4030/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 5: enp13s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0c:29:aa:dc:6c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.161/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp13s0 valid_lft 3584sec preferred_lft 3584sec inet6 fe80::f32d:e2e8:9c8b:47fd/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3. start vm without the "check" and "type" attributes, and check the live xml do not include these attributes, either. # virsh start vm1 virshDomain vm1 started # virsh dumpxml vm1 | grep /interface -B8 </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:bb:cd:89'/> <source network='default' portid='b02dc78f-69ad-4db7-870c-f371fd730537' bridge='virbr0'/> <target dev='vnet22'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> 4. negative test: Set "<mac address='52:54:00:bb:cd:89' type='next'/>" in virsh edit # virsh edit vm1 error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng Extra element devices in interleave Element domain failed to validate content Failed.

virsh rights voor normal users
by Natxo Asenjo 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

hi, using the cockpit web ui and with these instructions: https://libvirt.org/dbus.html#usage we allow successfully that a group of users can access the console of the system vms in different kvm hosts. Oddly enough, in the same cockpit web interface I can use a terminal, and if I run virsh list --all I get an empty listing. So using cockpit I can manage the system vms, but I cannot use virsh. This is in a rhel 7.8 system. The host is joined to an Idm realm, and this realm has a trust to an AD forest. The users are AD users mapped to an external Idm group. Any ideas as to what we do wrong? Thanks! -- regards, Natxo

virt-install with pool off glusterfs
by lejeczek 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hi Guys, what can, is, wrong with that syntax of mine below? $ virt-install -n fcoskubermaster1 --virt-type kvm --os-variant fedora31 --graphics="none" --memory $((4*1024)) --disk="pool=gluster-VMs,size=10,path=/fcoskubermaster1.qcow2,backing_store=gluster://127.0.0.1/VMs/00-BACKing/fcoskubermaster1.qcow2" --network network=ovsbr0,model=virtio --accelerate --cpuset 3 --cpu host-model --vcpus 3 --import --qemu-commandline="-fw_cfg name=opt/com.coreos/config,file=/00.GLUSTER-mnt/VMs/fcos.ign" WARNING fcoskubermaster1 may not be accessible by the hypervisor. You will need to grant the 'qemu' user search permissions for the following directories: [''] Starting install... ERROR Couldn't create storage volume 'fcoskubermaster1': 'this function is not supported by the connection driver: storage pool does not support volume creation' Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf start fcoskubermaster1 otherwise, please restart your installation. Basically what I hope to do is to have backing image and the actual one on a glusterfs volume, backing store in /00-BACKing and the image in / off that same gluster-VMs volume. many thanks, L.

RBD volume not made available to Xen virtual guest on openSUSE 15.2 (with libvirt 6.0.0)
by Marcel Juffermans 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hi there, Since upgrading to openSUSE 15.2 (which includes libvirt 6.0.0) the virtual guests don't get their RBD disks made available to them. On openSUSE 15.1 (which includes libvirt 5.1.0) that worked fine. The XML is as follows: <domain type='xen' id='7'> <name>mytwotel-a</name> <uuid>a56daa5d-c095-49d5-ae1b-00b38353614e</uuid> <description>mytwotel-a</description> <memory unit='KiB'>1048576</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='8-23'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>linux</type> <kernel>/usr/lib/grub2/x86_64-xen/grub.xen</kernel> </os> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <disk type='network' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writethrough'/> <source protocol='rbd' name='guests/mytwotel-a'> <auth username='libvirt'> <secret type='ceph' uuid='3f88b59a-d85b-4b47-946d-a4c4cce3fec0'/> </auth> </source> <backingStore/> <target dev='xvda' bus='xen'/> </disk> <controller type='xenbus' index='0'/> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:16:3e:a3:ba:9f'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vif7.0'/> </interface> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='xen' port='0'/> </console> <input type='mouse' bus='xen'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='xen'/> <memballoon model='xen'/> </devices> </domain> The virtual guest starts, but then sits in the Grub 2 boot prompt because the disk is not available. The qemu log shows: qemu-system-i386: failed to create 'qdisk' device '51712': failed to create drive: Could not open 'rbd:guests/mytwotel-a:id=libvirt:key=AQCAUpBbrcaiFxAA1sztXPbkdW1L54i99oUpyA==:auth_supported=cephx\;none': No such file or directory qemu-system-i386: failed to create 'qdisk' device '51712': failed to create drive: Could not open 'rbd:guests/mytwotel-a:id=libvirt:key=AQCAUpBbrcaiFxAA1sztXPbkdW1L54i99oUpyA==:auth_supported=cephx\;none': No such file or directory qemu-system-i386: failed to create 'qdisk' device '51712': failed to create drive: Could not open 'rbd:guests/mytwotel-a:id=libvirt:key=AQCAUpBbrcaiFxAA1sztXPbkdW1L54i99oUpyA==:auth_supported=cephx\;none': No such file or directory qemu-system-i386: failed to create 'qdisk' device '51712': failed to create drive: Could not open 'rbd:guests/mytwotel-a:id=libvirt:key=AQCAUpBbrcaiFxAA1sztXPbkdW1L54i99oUpyA==:auth_supported=cephx\;none': No such file or directory ...

Note that the latter opens "/usr/lib64/qemu/block-rbd.so". That library *does* exist on openSUSE 15.2 but it doesn't seem to be used. I've tried to update libvirt to a newer version using the Open Build Service repos, but then ran into so many conflicting versions that I gave up. At this point I'm stuck. Does anyone have an idea I can try? Many thanks, Marcel

Understanding 'State change failed: (-2) Need access to UpToDate data'
by Paul O'Rorke 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hi list, I had to relocate my third node in a classic DRBD 8.4 three node set up to a new host. I am having difficulty making the stacked resource the primary. I am following this guide: https://www.linbit.com/drbd-user-guide/users-guide-drbd-8-4/#s-three-nodes Specifically this: > > > 5.18.3. Enabling stacked resources > > To enable a stacked resource, you first enable its lower-level > resource and promote it: > > drbdadm up r0 > drbdadm primary r0 > > As with unstacked resources, you must create DRBD meta data on the > stacked resources. This is done using the following command: > > # drbdadm create-md --stacked r0-U > > Then, you may enable the stacked resource: > > # drbdadm up --stacked r0-U > # drbdadm primary --stacked r0-U > > After this, you may bring up the resource on the backup node, enabling > three-node replication: > > # drbdadm create-md r0-U > # drbdadm up r0-U It seems all is good right up to the last command: :~# drbdadm primary informer :~# drbdadm create-md --stacked informer-U You want me to create a v08 style flexible-size internal meta data block. There appears to be a v08 flexible-size internal meta data block already in place on /dev/drbd11 at byte offset 429483581440 Do you really want to overwrite the existing meta-data? [need to type 'yes' to confirm] yes md_offset 429483581440 al_offset 429483548672 bm_offset 429470441472 Found some data ==> This might destroy existing data! <== Do you want to proceed? [need to type 'yes' to confirm] yes initializing activity log NOT initializing bitmap Writing meta data... New drbd meta data block successfully created. :~# drbdadm up --stacked informer-U :~# drbdadm primary --stacked informer-U 110: State change failed: (-2) Need access to UpToDate data Command 'drbdsetup-84 primary 110' terminated with exit code 17 drbd11 is the device for the lower level resource 'informer', drbd110 the device for stacked resource 'informer-U'. Replication between hosts 'Alice' and 'Bob' (not the real host names but corresponding to the names used int the documentation) is functional. I am performing the above commands on 'bob'. I do not understand why it is complaining it needs UpToDate data in that last command if 'informer-U' is 'stacked-on-top-of informer' and was just created. the .res file(s) look like this: > resource informer { > net { > protocol C; > } > > device /dev/drbd11; > meta-disk internal; > > on trk-kvm-01 { > address 10.10.1.125:7789; > disk /dev/trk-kvm-01-vg/informer; > } > on trk-kvm-02 { > address 10.10.1.126:7789; > disk /dev/trk-kvm-02-vg/informer; > } > } > > resource informer-U { > net { > protocol A; > } > > stacked-on-top-of informer { > device /dev/drbd110; > address 10.10.2.126:7789; > } > > on trk-bkp-01 { > device /dev/drbd110; > disk /dev/ubuntu-vg/informer; > address 10.10.2.127:7789; > meta-disk internal; > } > } Any suggestions on what I am missing in this picture?

Why "discard":"unmap" is the default option for disks
