similar to: Migrating domains across nodes

Hi, I have set up KVM on FC12. I was wondering if its possible to Display the VM using spice + libvirt? As in, if I can define my domain with graphics like: <graphics type='spice' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'/> or <graphics type='spice' port='5903' '

Hi I am having some problems installing a paravirt RHEL guest on a deb amd64 xen machine uname -a = Linux debxen 2.6.20-1-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 24 22:23:22 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux ============== xm info ============== host : debxen release : 2.6.20-1-xen-amd64 version : #1 SMP Tue Apr 24 22:23:22 UTC 2007 machine : x86_64

Returns free memory size per node in "xm info". This info can help users who want to bind their guest domain in one node of their NUMA machines thought set CPU affinity. I also write IA64 part support which I would send to XEN-IA64 mail-list. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Before, in my "Hard Problem" email I was trying to communicate a design issue were trying to solve with Xen. This is what we need to do: 1) Deploy 24 Windows XP VMs in parallel. 2) Boot them from a shared Windows XP C: drive. 3) Since this is a read-only shared image we obviously can''t have multiple VM''s writing to it. 4) All writes to the boot image for logging,

If I have a linux kernel on dom0 from xen 3.0.2 and my xen binary is version 3.1.0, can I expect things to work? What about if my dom0 kernel and xen binary are both 3.1.0 and I have a para virt domU with xen 3.0.2 code in? What about if the tools are from a different version of xen? I''m asking because I''m running fedora 6 and I''d like to try out xen 3.1.0 or 3.0.4

Hi, I defined several xen domains with libvirt. Can anybody tell me where libvirt stores these definitions? E.g. what files would one need to back up? Is it correct, that the xen domain definitions in /var/lib/xend/domains are overwritten regularly by libvirt? Many thanks, Arik

DV suggested that we document some libvirt setups using shared storage. I'm not a fan of NFS, so I wrote some blog posts on how to use iSCSI in the context of libvirt + KVM. There is of course more than one way todo things, so I've outlined a couple of different options. One completely manual command line approach using tgtadm on the iSCSI server:

Hi all. have fglrx driver working with xen, opengl runs fine for me. see http://pastebin.ca/350588 it''s tested with kernel 2.6.19, driver version 8.33.6, xen version 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 thanks to Jacob Gorm Hansen for suggestions testing, feedback (and bugreports - hope not) are welcome Christian -- "Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production

All test machines are CentOS 5.5 (RHEL subscriptions purchased). We've had NFS3 storage working fine and decided to try NFS4. We can mount an NFS4 share on our KVM host, but the SELinux file context on the mountpoint directory is magically changed from virt_image_t to nfs_t. Restorecon refuses to change it back. Adding the mount option context=system_u:object_r:virt_image_t on either server

Hi I keep getting libvirtError: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock errors - what does this mean exactly ? Using Ubuntu 64 bit 10.04 host and guest -- Kind regards Julian Robbins

I studying how to attach USB devices to a KVM guest virtual machine using libvirt. Using the "vendor" and "product" to specify the source device seems like a good option since the "bus" and "device" values can change as a device is removed and re-inserted. The question I have is what should I expect to happen if I plug in two identical USB devices - so they

remap_block_devices was modifying the global device list while remapping device names for libata guests (which includes RHEL 6). This caused a failure later when the renamed devices were not present in the original XML.

Hi, Debian calls qemu-kvm kvm so we should check for that one too. Please apply. Cheers, -- Guido -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Folks, Does anyone know whether libvirt provides a means for me to guarantee a persistent link for my guest's virtual serial console? I need to have a consistent mapping (for example, a symlink that always points to the correct /dev/pts entry) so I can automate kgdb hookup on boot. Jon.

Are there any recommendations as to how often a new connection should be made versus reused? Right now we create a new connection *every time* we hit libvirt for something. We can easily change this so that a single connection is made for a series of libvirt calls, or even so that a single connection is used for the lifetime of the running application. What are the issues to consider when making

Hi, im migrating existing kvm-images into libvirt domains, by creating a domain in virsh from a xml file. The domain starts, is working fine, but after shutdown it is lost, and I have to recreate it. BTW, can I reset the domain count somewhere? Any ideas? thx and kind regards Alexander virsh # version Compiled against library: libvir 0.4.6 Using library: libvir 0.4.6 Using API: QEMU 0.4.6
