The problem desribed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593266 Please update http://www.libvirt.org/formatdomain.html and describe NEW xml tags, like <serial>xxxx</serial> for hard drive and all cpu tags, other if any. -- Segmentation fault

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

Does libvirt support snapshotting when the virtual disk 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

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" />

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.

Hi, I am running OpenStack Cluster and use libvirt + cgroup to limit vm’s performance https://wiki.openstack.org/InstanceResourceQuota What I am confusing is.. 1. After running a vm instance with some croup limit applied, I can’t find any related cgroup settings. 2. Can I change limit value after instance is running? like change disk_read_iops_sec from 10 to 20. One of the xml file like below.

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

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

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, 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):

First, maintainer''s addresses (Ryan Wilson <hap9@epoch.ncsc.mil>, Chris Bookholt <hap10@epoch.ncsc.mil>) are wrong (users unknown to remote mailsystem), so posting to you: PCI bus format strings are wrong. "%04x:%02x:%02x.%d" should be used instead of "%04x:%02x:%02x.%1x" (in many places of linux+v3.2.1/drivers/xen/xen-pciback/pci_stub.c) --

I am running some qemu-kvm virtual machines via libvirt using Ceph RBD as the back-end storage. Today I was testing an update to libvirt-1.0.6 on one of my hosts and discovered that it includes this change: [libvirt] [PATCH] Forbid use of ':' in RBD pool names ...People are known to be abusing the lack of escaping in current libvirt to pass arbitrary args to QEMU.

Hello everyone, Current host build is RHEL 6.2, soon to be upgrading. I'm in the process of mapping out a KVM/RHEV topology. I have questions about the landscape of storage pools and the instantiation of specific scsi_host IDs using virsh nodedev-create and some magic XML definitions. I'm grouping these questions together because the answer to one may impact the other. High-level
