[libvirt-users] "virsh list --all" is intermittently causing a shutdown client to boot?
Hello, I have a CentOS 7 client running on a CentOS 7 server. "virsh --version" reports that 3.9.0 is being used. I'm issuing a "virsh shutdown" command to shutdown the client. I then confirm that the client has actually shutdown using "virsh list --all". Lately I've been seeing instances where I shutdown the client, turn away to work on something else, and then turn back to find that the client has booted again. Initially I thought I was mistaken, and that I somehow hadn't properly shutdown the client, but further experimentation shows that's definitely not the case. I've been able to reproduce this repeatedly using the following steps. 1. Run "virsh shutdown CLIENT"2. Wait ~30-60 seconds3. Run "virsh list --all; virsh console CLIENT" If I run "virsh console CLIENT" on its own when the client is in a shutdown state, I get the expected "error: The domain is not running" message. If I omit step #2 and run step #3 immediately after shutting down the client, virsh also complains that the client's not started and refuses to open a console. However, if I add a pause -- step 2, above -- between the shutdown and the "list --all" commands, then "list --all" shows that the client is running, and a console is opened to the VM. I have confirmed that the client boot is definitely being started by the "list --all" command (and not being started by something else while I'm not looking) by combining the "list --all" and "console" commands in step 3. This is ensuring that the console is started as soon as the "list --all" is complete, and the resulting screen output shows the BIOS boot options quickly followed by the kernel boot messages being dumped to the console. I can watch the entire boot process from start to finish. That pause between the shutdown and the "list --all" is critical. I've shutdown the client and then immediately followed it up with the command: watch virsh list --all ...which will run the "list --all" command every 2 seconds. This will run indefinitely without triggering the boot, which eliminates the possibility of the boot occurring due to the amount of time since the shutdown. It may be that other virsh commands are also causing the client to boot, but thus far I've only reproduced it using the list --all command. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? A bug? Something in my config? Something else? Thanks in advance, -peter .

Could you follow the steps in https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/DebugLogs#Runtime_setting to enable debug logs for libvirtd and share the (compressed) libvirtd.log somewhere? Jirka

Re: [libvirt-users] "virsh list --all" is intermittently causing a shutdown client to boot?
The /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf file was modified to include the following:
log_level = 1 log_filters="3:remote 4:event 3:json 3:rpc"
log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log"
The service was then restarted, and I ran "tail -f" against the log to
determine exactly which entries were being created as a result of specific
actions on my part.
I then reproduced the error.
I ran "virsh console proxy2" expecting it to tell me whether the VM
was running, and that resulted in the VM booting. (So it's not just
"list --all" that's causing the unexpected boots.) That resulted
in the following chunk of data being written to the log:

I then ran "watch virsh list --all" for 10 minutes, and it
continuously showed the VM in a "shut off" state. Next I ran
"virsh console proxy2" and "virsh list --all" immediately
after killing the "watch" process, and it dumped the following output
to the screen:
[pkukla@vs2 ~]$ virsh console proxy2error: The domain is not running
[pkukla@vs2 ~]$ virsh list --all Id Name
State---------------------------------------------------- - proxy2
shut off - proxy2-clone shut off
Then I waited ~2-3 minutes and ran "virsh list --all" again, and it
caused the VM to boot:
[pkukla@vs2 ~]$ virsh list --all Id Name
State---------------------------------------------------- 1 proxy2
running - proxy2-clone shut off

I then disabled logging and restarted the service.
I've been doing has been under my personal account ("pkukla") on
the server. The "root" account has production instances, so I have
not been working under that account because I don't want to break anything.
In fact, I had only noticed this and reproduced it while working in my personal
account, and I originally wasn't sure that it was happening with any other
user accounts.
While collecting this data, however, I am reasonably sure that I managed to boot
one of the VMs in the "root" account with this bug. I didn't
monitor the VM in the same way that I've been monitoring the bug in my own
account, but a server that shouldn't have been booted did boot around the
time that I was working on the server as "root", and I've
confirmed with the other people with the appropriate privileges to login as
"root", and none of them started the VM. The VM in the
"root" userspace that was booted was the "slo_redmine" VM.
I do not know whether it was booted during the time that logging was enabled, so
maybe that is reflected in the log, also?
If I *did* managed to repro the bug while working as "root", then this
implies something else: This is apparently only affecting VM's in the
user's on environment. For example, I've been reproducing the trigger
conditions frequently over the past few days to diagnose this, but all of my
testing as user "pkukla" does NOT seem to have affected the VMs in the
"root" user space. I'm not willing to guarantee that the effects
of this are only confined to a user's own VMs because I haven't
exhaustively tested the theory, but it seems likely that's the case.
The full log has been provided to you as a link in another email.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again for looking at
this!

Something else?

This is indeed very strange and we would need to look at the logs to
check what's going on. Could you follow the steps in
https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/DebugLogs#Runtime_setting to enable debug
logs for libvirtd and share the (compressed) libvirtd.log somewhere?

Re: [libvirt-users] "virsh list --all" is intermittently causing a shutdown client to boot?
Autostart is set to "enable" for this domain, but I wouldn't
expect autostart to be invoked when a simple "read-only" command is
run. I'd expect the "list --all" command to only display details
about the domain...not change the status of the domain by booting it. Maybe
I'm misunderstanding things...
