Have you tried: virsh define <xml definition file> I thought it odd too that virsh create <xml defintion file> only created a temp instance. But the first command did what I needed with persistence. -----Original Message----- From: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> To: Rich Megginson <rmeggins@redhat.com>, libvirt-users@redhat.com <libvirt-users@redhat.com>

Hi, I have a CentOS-7 server running KVM but also oVirt. Recently, following updates, VMs not handled by oVirt have been deleting themselves after they shut down. Previously to this, I have not had any problems of this nature. I cannot say whether the problem is coming from oVirt updates or not. I am creating a VM using "virsh define myvm.xml" on the server, starting it through

I actually find I do almost all my VM management inside the virsh command. If the VM appears to exist inside virsh but is in a shut off state then you should try to start it. VNC can also be SSH port forwarded (which I have done before). Not sure if this will help but this is the command I use to create VMs: virt-install \ --name example \ --vcpus=4 \ --disk /data/example,size=80 \

Hi, how can I convert the storage type of VMs from being stored in individual qcow2 files to being stored in a storage pool? The VMs may be shut down during the conversion.

To see the boot console you need to have a VNC client and connect to it once it is up. For Mac OS I use the "Screen Sharing" application which can connect to VNC natively. For Windows you can use something like tightvnc. For SSH you need to make sure it is listening on the port. --network is used to specify a libvirt network I believe. On my example box it is in

It seems that Xen VMs are subject to file system corruption under certain conditions. I find that often when I reboot or shutdown a VM the filesystem is corrupted after that and the VM no longer usable. The xm create then fails with some Python errors and an eventual Runtime Error: unable to read filesystem No handlers could be found for logger "xend". Error: boot loader didn't

I'm new to NUT, but didn't find a clear answer to this either in the recent "ordered shutdown" thread or in Google: How to shut down VMWare guest virtual machines earlier than the host machine they run on? (For example, if everything normally shuts down at 5% UPS battery, then the VMs should shut down at 10%.) I also read upssched.txt but I can't tell from the early

Good m/d/n guys, wanted to put idea through you before trying to implement this. So afaik LVM snapshots basically don't take any "real" space on hard drives. I'm using KVM virtualization on my hosts and let's say i create an LVM volume for my linux VM, then install it properly, shut it down and take LVM snapshot of it. Basically i've just cloned it (LVM2 snapshots are

That's kind of weird. I don't think VNC has anything to do with X really. Are you able to connect with VNC? If you are able to establish a connection the first thing you should see is a login prompt on most distributions (unless the distribution is configure to start X windows). Maybe there is some key you can press to get a console window. Like CTRL-ALT-F1 or F2 or F3. On Fri, Jul 10,

Try some of these combinations: http://www.howtogeek.com/119293/4-ways-to-recover-from-a-crashed-or-frozen-x-server-on-linux/ The good thing is your vm is up and running. You should try SSHing into it if that works. On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 1:37 PM, KARR, DAVID <dk068x@att.com> wrote: > I’m confused.

Dear All In an environment , I have 20 centos servers running together . For shutting them down , I need to issue the followings on each of the servers : #./stopServer #init 0 This is cumbersome to try to issue these on huge amount of servers to keep them safely going shutdown. Can you please let me know how can I automate it and say let just one server send stop processes and shutdown commands to

What is the best tool to compare file hashes in two different drives/directories such as after copying a large number of files from one drive to another? I used cp -au to copy directories, not rsync, since it is between local disks. I found a mention of hashdeep on the 'net which means first running it against the first directory generating a file with checksums and then running it a second
