similar to: Too many active clients?

I'm seeing this problem with both the virtio and e1000 driver with both linux and windows guests. About 5 - 10% of the VMs I launch have network problems. They seem to always get an IP from the DHCP server (dnsmasq), but afterwards either they can not make an outside network connection or they lose connectivity at a later time. Sometimes the connectivity comes back, sometimes it doesn't.

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

Hello, I was getting the following error in syslog: libvirtd: 21:19:12.116: 10955: error : qemudDispatchServer:1355 : Too many active clients (20), dropping connection from 127.0.0.1;0 I investigated a bit and tried the following in a python console: import libvirt ~~~~ conn=libvirt.openReadOnly("qemu+ssh://HOST_IP/system<http://10.16.71.1/system> ") //now check the no. of

I have over 20 guests running on a particular host and the three longest running ones are missing the network device information in their XML description: <interface type='network'> <mac address='54:52:10::f2:c5'/> <source network='local'/> </interface> Compared to the others which have: <interface

My server and client are running Ubuntu Lucid, libvirt-bin 0.7.5-5ubuntu27, qemu-kvm-0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9 and I'm using virt-viewer-0.0.3-6ubuntu7.xul19 or virt-manager-0.8.2-2ubuntu8 to connect. I configured SASL2 to use GSSAPI for libvirt following the instructions in the libvirt docs, created a keytab with libvirt/my.fully.qualified.domain at MY-REALM.COM (has a dash fwiw) and pointed

Hi all, I am experiencing some problems with different versions of libvirt (0.7.5 and 0.7.7), with a kvm (WinXP), host running Ubuntu 9.10, and i would like to ask you two questions: - In virsh, after running the command "shutdown domainName", what should be the final state of the domain, if the shutdown finishes correctly: "shutoff", "no-state",

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

Dear all, I am working on a virtualization project that involves setting up virtual appliances over cloud. to implement the same, which tool is required to 1) create virtual appliances 2) deploy virtual appliances 3) manage virtual appliances/virtual machines Could you please guide me with some pointers or resources to get started with the implementation. Thank you. Saravanan Sundaramoorthy

Before starting with Ovirt, i would like to discuss for the following queries, 1) Ovirt will support all OS ? 2) Can i integrate Ovirt with my java applications ? 3) I am looking for the open source tool that which i can integrate with my java applications and manage cloud infrasturcture. 4) Managing the coloud infrastructure such as create image, deploy the image to cloud host provider ? 5)

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 list, long(ish) time libvirt users, first time poster. Question: Is the default network (192.168.122.0/24, NAT) created by libvirt needed at all when guests are connected to the host's bridge device (and not the default network) I.e. when I have <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> in

Regardless of the filesystem (i''ve used reiserfs, xfs, ext3), whenever I mount a fresh DRBD partition I get some nasty kernel messages. This is under Debian Sarge, Xen kernel 2.6.11.12-xen0 (dom0) using DRBD v0.7.11 (pulled from Debian "testing"). This is what I did to create the partition. On both nodes I created a new LVM storage device and started DRBD: # lvcreate

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, I am exploring the migration APIs and was curious to know if I can use them with LXC containers for live migration from one node to another. If not LXC, then can I use them with OpenVZ containers ? If yes, what would be the general steps involved. Thanks, Sagar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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
