Hello, I am trying to execute virsh commands on a host but it is giving errors due to failure in acquiring lock. root at kvm01:~# virsh suspend blindone error: Failed to suspend domain blindone error: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock Any suggestions how can we figure out possible reasons. -- Jatin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hypervisor= ubuntu 12.04.2 guest = ubuntu 12.04.4 used virt-manager to create a new storage file in qcow2 format on hypervisor and then attach it to the guest. In virt-man I can see the disk is attached. trying virsh attach-disk I get a failure saying disk already attached virsh dump xml shows the disk at vdb as it should be but on the guest, fdisk -l shows no vdb and its not in /proc I found

Hello, I have been trying to migrate a guest from one host to another. But it is showing this error: virsh --connect qemu+ssh://root at host1/system migrate --live --undefinesource testvm3 qemu+ssh://root at host2/system tcp://host2:48160 error: operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info chardev' I have tried this command from the host1 also but it shows the

Thank you for your help! 1, i used vda as install disk and vdb as target disk, because i boot from the first. After setup boot order flag i was able change install disk to vdb and target disk to vda. With this configuration when i boot from vdb i can install OS with grub and after it redefine XML without vdb without problem. Thanks a lot. 2, maybe i have something wrong, but still not working:

I have a very strange issue that has plagued our KVM-based hypervisor infrastructure. Environment: - All EL7-based libvirt releases since EL7.0 - Fully patched EL7-based KVM guest on a fully patched EL7-based KVM host. - Secondary disk attached via 'virsh attach-device guest /vm/guest-with-secondary-disk-01/disk2.xml --persistent' (note --persistent flag here) Problem Description: -

Greetings, list! I hope you forgive cross-posting - I only now found this list. I am in the process of configuring a KVM stack of about 8 vms. Mostly I am concerned about performance, as there will be a lot of I/O. My last problem is this: I try to add a fresh, unformatted disk partition to a KVM guest. I follow the directions given here:

Hi, When i use "virsh attach-device rhel disk.xml" when the guest is booting,then i can't find the disk in the guest after booting.But i can find it by "virsh domblklist rhel",and when i want to detach it from the guest and use "virsh detach-disk rhel vdb", i still can find the disk by "virsh domblklist rhel" The disk.xml is like: <disk

Hi all, i created a script in PHP for create a virtual server with two QCOW2 discs … one is our system for installation and second is target system. After successfully instalation (create a blank Debian system, prepare all files and grub partitions) i need a restart virtual without a installation disk. If i use Virsh: detach-disk --domain debian-test2 --persistent --target vda reset

The format of a file is important. By

Hi, I'm trying to create a snapshot on a specific disk by using diskspec option. However, libvirt/virsh seems to ignore it and takes a snapshot of all disks. Am I using this option incorrectly? In below examples, I'm trying to snapshot only vdb. However even vda is getting snapshotted regardless of diskspec. Is this a known issue? I'm on CentOS 7.1, libvirtd (libvirt) 1.2.8, virsh

Jatin, Using qemu without the virtio scsi and nic drivers is like running vmware with ide disks and e1000 nic instead of LSI disks and vmxnet3 nics, it forces the system to emulate completely different hardware. In linux the virtio drivers are implemented in the kernel, so you either need a new kernel or the virtio kernel modules. I'm not sure which for RHEL5, but I suspect you can get

Hi all I have a problem when I use `virsh attach` to attach a qcow2 disk to vm without argument --subdirver=qcow2 and this makes the qcow2 disk become a raw format disk, and the data in this disk is missing in guest os and also I have used guestmout to confirm this, the same result. Is there any way to let me find back the data in this disk ? the version of libvirt and kvm is : Compiled

Greets, I am unsure if it's a linux- or libvirt-issue: I added a 2nd virtio-disk to a kvm-based VM. The xml shows a correct "target": # first disk vda <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/mnt/r0/vm1_vda-clone.img'/> <target dev='vda'

Hello, I want to do a snapshot which the VM has volumes. But I want to skip the volume check when I do the snapshot. (Which means I want to do a snapshot without detaching the volume) So I try to write a snapshot XML refer by http://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html as following: vda is my VM basic disk (qcow2) vdb is a volume (raw) ================ t1.xml =============== <domainsnapshot>

I'm unable to detach a disk from a Windows guest using the 'virsh detach-disk' command. Even though 'domblklist' shows the disk attached, and on the FIRST iteration, it says the command "completed successfully," 'domblklist will still show the disk attached and subsequent 'detach-disk' commands fail with 'no disk found whose source path or target

Hello. What it the difference in external snapshot configuration with and without <domainsnapshot> ? What is the difference between vda and vdb in the following example? (From https://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html) <domainsnapshot> ... <memory snapshot='no'/> <disks> <disk name='vda' snapshot='external'> <driver

Thank you so much for your informative response. The man page of virsh did not include "snapshot=no" sub-option under the --diskspec option, but it is very intuitive. Thanks developers for their excellent work!
