Hi there I am using libvirt+lxc on fedora I just upgraded a couple boxes from f29 to f31 i am running into rather puzzling glitches on one of the boxes, and am having a hard time trying to figure what exactly is going wrong symptom being that on the faulty box, my 3 containers startup correctly, but all of them stop after some random time shortly after (approx. in the 5-10 minutes) in some

Hi everyone, I've some doubts regarding the usage/working of libvirt-lxc with openstack. I'm doing a project titled "Low density virtualization for Storage cloud" 1. Can i use libvirt for lxc with Openstack swift alone (excluding nova, glance and keystone)? If no what other openstack components should i use for virtualization? (Is it necessary to install openstack nova to do

Hi, I am using virConnectOpen(const char *uri) to connect to the local hypervisor. When uri is set to "lxc:///", an error gets logged in /var/log/messages about failed connection. But I do not see any error for "xen:///". The machine does not have these drivers installed, and I am using libvirt 0.6.3. My questions are - 1. Why I see error in /var/log/messages for container

Hi, Has anyone used libvirt to start/stop/manage LXC (linux containers) ? Is it supported at all? Last I tried, had few issues and the reply was : /// Note that libvirt lxc driver is a different implementation from lxc tools and doesn't use lxc tools internally. You may not be able to do what you are doing with lxc tools. Especially, the driver doesn't take aware of files and settings

Hi folks I have a question about lxc-enter-namespace I am migrating lxc containers from a host running libvirt-1.2.5 on f20 to another one running libvirt-1.2.9 on f21 and now I can't seem to use lxc-enter-namespace for entering in a container any more I would do virsh -c lxc:/// lxc-enter-namespace --noseclabel container /bin/bash but when I try the same now I am getting this: # virsh

Hi experts, When I hotplug nic into lxc, the nic in lxc seemed to be down status as following: 1224: vnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether fa:16:3e:fc:e5:96 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff It seems mechanism such as udev is needed here. But I found udev is not supported well in lxc. So how can I get a 'up' nic after hotplug into lxc ? Very

Dear all, I'm a happy lxc (lxd) user with a need to add a bunch of KVM images to the mix. More importantly I need to have some simple frontend to give users the ability to quickly run some VMs for testing. Researching the topic brought me to virt-manager and from there libvirt. I've had however a hard time to answer a few questions that I hope this list can help me with: 1) is the

Hello, I would like to set up sshd under an LXC application container and to be able to connect into it from the host. I was able to achieve that with LXC tools CLI after setting up a bridge via brctl and creating a proper lxc.conf file for lxc-execute to use. However, I am unable to do so via libvirt. I am using libvirt version 0.7.1 installed on fedora 12. I first verified that the default

Hi Guys, When I created a lxc container by libvirt, I logged into the lxc container and noticed that info under /proc/ dir did not match the lxc container resource. Is the /proc dir in lxc container just showing the same thing as the lxc host? If I want to monitor the realtime resource usage inside the lxc container, What should I do? -------------- Best regards! GuanQiang 2013-07-23

Hi, i converted LXC conf to xml by: lxcuser@blade1:~/.local/share/lxc/test_deb$ virsh -c lxc:/// domxml-from- native lxc-tools /home/lxcuser/.local/share/lxc/test_deb/config <domain type='lxc'> <name>test_deb</name> <uuid>cce77799-89fd-41fd-99c1-101e00844e23</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>65536</memory> <currentMemory

Dear all, I'm moving my first baby steps with libvirt-lxc trying to convert over from an LXD installation and one of the hurdles is putting together an image. All the examples I found about libvirt-lxc refer to running /bin/sh in a container, almost as if it was docker, as opposed to run a "full system" like I've been doing with lxd. Also virt-install, often referred in libvirt

Hello, I am searching for the libvirt operations for relocating LXC (system or application) containers. LXC relocation mechanism is done by checkpoint / restart. I went over libvirt API documentation and found the following methods: virDomainSave that receives a domain and path to state file. The method saves domain's memory contents into a disk file. virDomainRestore that receives a domain

Hi, all, I used lxc-tools to create a linux container. I am trying to transfrom LXC container configuration into a domain XML fragment using the following command: *$ virsh -c lxc:/// domxml-from-native lxc /var/lib/lxc/my_conatiner/config* However, I get the error message, error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectDomainXMLFromNative It seems that

I'm trying to permanently change memory allocation for a libvirt-lxc domain. So far I tried changing memory in memory.limit_in_bytes under /cgroup/memory/libvirt/lxc/<container>/.  This didn't help. It appears that libvirt is not reading changes in cgroup. My requirements are 1) Be able to dynamically change memory of a LXC domain without reboot 2) The memory change must survive

Hello, I'm using libvirt to build/run LXC instances. My LXC instances use passthrough filesystem mounts. When I try to do large file systems operations (ex tar or rsync) the file systems cache on the host spikes and causes the OOM handler to run and kills processes in the LXC. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way around this? At this point I'm resorting to running a cron job that
