Hi, is there a way to configure blkio via libvirt (xml)? Regards Erkan -- ?ber den grenzen mu? die freiheit wohl wolkenlos sein

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 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

For example, http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks does not contain <serial>xxxx</serial> tag. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593266) I wrote to community (users and developers). No one has added this information to the site... -- Segmentation fault

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what controls the number if in-flight virtio block operations when running linux in qemu on top of a linux host. The problem is that we're trying to run as many VMs as possible, using ceph/rbd for the rootfs. We've tripped over the fact the the memory consumption of qemu can spike noticeably when doing I/O (something as simple as "dd" from

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 All, I am setting the value for "read_bytes_sec" using the following API code virDomainSetBlockIoTune(dom, "/mnt/tmpsdb/FileVM1", parainfoPtr, nparams, 2); I am succesfully able to set this value and i can read it back using the API virDomainGetBlockIoTune(dom,"/mnt/tmpsdb/FileVM1",parainfoPtr,&nparams,2); But after setting this value when i shutdown

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

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

I saw that and tried this already. But it needs to be adjusted to libvirtd-1.1.2 i think. Can you do this? I fiddled a litte bit around but wasn't realy successfull. hn

Hello. Is someone performing incremental backups via libvirt for qemu/kvm machines? I'm still having a hard time to find a nice procedure. I mean is it possible to make a full backup of an image on monday a do the next days of the week incremental backups? Another way could be mount the image and rsync its contents. Does that makes sense? Also i read in qemu changelog: --- Support for a

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):

Hi all, I want to limit the I/O bandwidth inside the container, so I used virsh command blkiotune. But when I enter a command: virsh # blkiotune lxcguest --weight 250 I get following errors: error: Unable to change blkio parameters error: Requested operation is not valid: blkio cgroup isn't mounted I also have blkio cgroup mounted. What can be the problem? Thanks in advance. Regards,
