Hi Folks, According to the examples in http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks it should be possible to mount an iso /url as a cdrom, the example given is: </disk> <disk type='network' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol="http" name="url_path"> <host...

For example, http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks does not contain <serial>xxxx</serial> tag. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593266) I wrote to community (users and developers). No one has added this information to the site... -- Segmentation fault

...comes from a vmdk file? http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Snapshots#Desired_functionality seems to say no, since it says "'virsh snapshot', which requires all disk images to be qcow2". OTOH, man virsh, http://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html, and http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks seem to indicate more flexibility, though I see nothing about vmdk. If there is support for vmdk, is it just for external snapshots, or do internal snapshots work? Currently running libvirt 0.9.12, qemu-kvm 1.1.2 (though I could use vmware workstation), linux kernel 3.2.0. Thanks. Ross Boylan

Hi, I am working on oVirt, and I am trying to run a VM with a network disk with ISCSI protocol ( the storage is on a Cinder server). Here is the disk XML I use: <disk device="disk" snapshot="no" type="network"> <address bus="0" controller="0" target="0" type="drive" unit="0" />

Even though our documentation states: If not specified, the default LUN is zero. http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks Maybe something changed in QEMU or libiscsi since that document was written?

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed. Is there some documentation where I can get how to exactly call this function along with the arguments?

Hi all, I'm using libvirt java binding (libvirt-java-0.4.6) I'd like to know if the Domain class offers an API to query volumes attached to a particular domain or should I parse the XML domain description?

The boot order issue http://osdir.com/ml/libvir-list/2009-08/msg00398.html resolved with the code changes specified by http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-August/msg00340.html seems to suggest that hard disks, cdroms, floppy devices (since they are all disks) are ordered primarily by virtual bus type as encountered in the domain xml. This indicates that there can exist a

Hi, is there a way to configure blkio via libvirt (xml)? Regards Erkan -- ?ber den grenzen mu? die freiheit wohl wolkenlos sein

Hi all, is there a way to limit the throughput (or the number of operations per seconds) of a block device? I ask because I've a couple of misconfigured VMs that are performing a lot of disk activity (swapping I'd bet but I haven't access to their OS). Since their storage is on a NFS share they are slowing down other VMs on the same share. Thank you. Davide.

This is a question about libvirt domain XML. The documentation is here: http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks The attribute is called "error_policy". The documentation says: The optional error_policy attribute controls how the hypervisor will behave on a disk read or write error, possible values are "stop", "report", "ignore", and "enospace".Since...

...onf by default as well, so you can put more specific settings in a [global] or [client.foo] section there. Note that if you enable writeback caching here, you need to include cache='writeback' in the xml as well, or qemu will not send flushes. Josh [1] http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks

Hello, what happens when an instance writes data with 0% available physical disk space, on QCOW2 images for instance, apart from destruction and unpredictability? I'm aware that monitoring is mandatory in production environments, but are there other known industry tricks to deal with this? Soft/hard limit settings, autopause/stop, or does KVM react in doing force shut down the VM in

Hi, Until today, I hadn't found a way to cleanly remove a KVM virtual machine through command line on CentOS 6 or 7! I had to run 'systemctl restart libvirtd' or 'service libvirtd restart' After several months (!!!), I found this thread: https://github.com/pradels/vagrant-libvirt/issues/107 Now, I know how to cleanly remove a KVM virtual machine (with default file location):

You would be using the NBD client in qemu to connect (eg. over a Unix domain socket) to a local nbdkit, and nbdkit's curl plugin...

...g to read from the backend configuration, and expecting to see a 'type' and 'params' to use for setting the aforementioned 'uname' value. This is where I hit the wall, so to speak. After reading through the XML documentation for libvirt (http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks), I see nothing that I can further add to my XML description that would make sense for adding a volume from a storage pool. For kicks and giggles, I've tried using the disk type 'carom', which gets me past the failing python condition, but then gives me the following error when trying...
