Greetings, I'm running Samba on a Debian stable server and have run into a problem I can't seem to get past. It's version 3.2.5. The basic setup is that it authenticates users via 'security = ads' and controls access to individual shares using local groups via 'valid users = @localgroup'. All of the users have accounts in /etc/password and are added to the groups in

Hello, I've added a Channel Device through virt-manager GUI. virsh dumpxml shows the device as. <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/ubuntusaucy.marx'/> <target type='virtio' name='marx'/> <alias name='channel2'/> <address

Hi, Is virsh able to access the VMX config of a virtual machine running on a esxi host? I would like to take backups of my virtual machine configs and the doku section "Converting from VMware VMX config to domain XML config" (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html) comes close to this - but does not tell how to get access to the vmx file. I would prefer a solution where ssh access to the

Hi. I'm trying to change network settings for a domain via libvirt (the driver is xenapi) with no success. According to its sources, 'virsh edit' uses virDomainGetXMLDesc(), allows to edit the received xml and then use virDomainDefineXML(). In case of xenapi driver it leads to a new vm creation (with the same name and edited settings). Looking through the list of API functions I

Hi, Recently We've upgraded some KVM hosts from Fedora 29 to Fedora 30 and now experience broken VM configurations on filesystem after virsh blockcommit. Commands "virsh dumpxml ..." and "virsh dumpxml --inactive ..." is showing diffrent configuration than the one on filesystem. In case of restart libvirtd or system reboot, there are broken VM xml configurations on

Hello. I have a strange error with one of my VMs. If i use dumpxml to save a VM description the source part of the network part is missing. This prevents redifining the machine from the dumped xml file: This is how it looks before dumpxml: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:34:a1:56'/> <source bridge='br406'/>

Hi all, Do you have any idea about this error? virsh # dumpxml csg01win7test > domain.xml error: unexpected data '>' Regards, Allen 2014-10-28 Allen Qiu

If I'm using the SR-IOV Pool assignment method (from http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Assignment_from_a_pool_of_SRIOV_VFs_in_a_libvirt_.3Cnetwork.3E_definition ), how would I check how many virtual functions are already in use? Is there a method other then looping through all the active guests and determining if they're using the SR-IOV interface?

Hi there, I'm running KVM under Openstack . When I give virsh list command, I see some VM in NON persistent state. What does it mean? How can I move it to a persisten state ? I found that I cannot make a snapshot, from Openstack , of a machine which is in a NON PERSISTENT state. Regards Fiorenza -- Spazio Web S.r.l. V.

What does this mean? Will I loose anything if - for example - there is not enough space on

So I notice that some operations by libvirt such as creating a snapshot actually change the source of the active disk image for a domain without requiring a restart of the vm. How can this be achieved manually? There are instances where I am manipulating files with qemu-img or virsh commands and afterward need to change what file the vm is using as its disk. One example is when deleting a

I have tried to define a domain or using virt-install both failed. Could some one give me the correct command to do this? I used: virt-install --nographics --paravirt --os-type=solaris --os-variant=opensolaris --ram 1024 --name cam-host --disk path=/dev/dsk/c0t600A0B800049E902000008EB4A9CE744d0p0,driver=phy -l /export/media_images/sol-nv-b121-x86-dvd.iso thx, florian

Hi, i tried adding metadata to Network XML ( NOT DOMAIN XML) but it removes it as soon as i save here's my network XML <network> <name>bridgeTest0</name> <uuid>cf2aae7a-b459-459b-ba2c-399190607629</uuid> <metadata> <app1:foo xmlns:app1="http://app1.org/app1/"> <app1:test>testing!</app1:test>

Dear Sir/Madam: I use virt-manager to create a new virtual machine(it's name is generic), then I edit generic to set it's cpu_mode as 'host-model', and I start it, but when dumpxml generic, it's cpu_mode is changed as 'custom'. I want to know that why it is? And what's the principle of dumpxml? Thanks! A user of libvirt

I am experimenting with the blockcopy command, and after figuring out how to integrate qemu-nbd, nbd-client and dumpxml/undefine/blockcopy/define/et. al. I have one remaining question: What's the point? The "replication" disk file is not, from what I can ascertain, bootable. I expect this operation to create a pristine copy of my source qcow2 file (at a given point in time)
