Yes, you are right. Listen, as the documentation is not very exaustive, can you explain briefly to me how a guest agent works? After installing it via the apt-get on the hypervisor (I am using ubuntu as host system) how can I create a script which would do this? That is waiting for an acpi signal and actually shut down the guest. And what other operation can you actually do with a guest agent? I

I am looking at the shutdown method, but if the guest system is a desktop system, like for example ubuntu, it just has the effect to show a box prompting the user for a shutdown/reboot/ and such. I could enter the guest and change this default behaviour and it actually works..but I'd like for a way to send a shutdown command without doing so. Is it possible?

I am seeing that migrate() function is blocking, isn't there a non blocking function with a callback associated to it, so to report events like end migration, migration progress (job domain info informations) and so on?

Hello all, I am doing some tests with Windows 7 and a Samba Domain, but into a working SAMBA domain, where windows XP joins without problems, when i try with 7 i recieve an error like "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.". I use OpenSuSE 11.3 with samba 3.5.4-5.1.2 and openldap 2.4.21-9.1. My config of samba: [global] workgroup =

netstat -lptu gives me tcp6 0 0 [::]:16514 [::]:* LISTEN 1314/libvirtd so the server is correctly listening on interfaces. My /etc/libvirt/libvirtd settings are defaulted. My /etc/default/libvirt-bin has "-d -l" options so server is listening. If I do virsh -c qemu://143.225.229.190/system (that is my ip or an ip belonging to my network) I

I'm currently running: virsh --version 1.0.2 libvirtd --version libvirtd (libvirt) 1.0.2 I have a couple questions. 1. Can I upgrade my libvirt.so version to use with an older libvirtd? In other words, does the versions of libvirt and libvirtd need to be in lock step? 2. I'm able to use virsh blockcopy, but I want to do it programmatically via C. I looked through the API and was not

Hi, I'm running fedora core rel. 1 on a dual system, using syslinux on a floppy disk as boot manager to start fedora. However, after up2date, I can't start fedora with the new kernel, as syslinux probably points to the old one. Kernel installation was done automatically via rpm (up2date online), but it didn't change syslinux parameters. What do I need to change in syslinux config

Hello, I need to get how much memory is used by a guest system, in order to implement some monitoring function which tells me if the system is overstressed. I am currently using java apis and the binding which was suggested to me was Domain.memoryStats(); This is a binding to int virDomainMemoryStats (virDomainPtr<http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainPtr>dom,

I created a new LVM type storage pool on my server and would like to move my VM disk volumes in a directory-based pool into this new pool. But I cannot figure out how that is done. I find plenty of information on how to migrate live VM images from one host to another, but not on how to just move one live from one storage pool to another on the same host. If it cannot be done live, how an I

Another strange thing. I tried, in order to solve this, to put my hostname as listening address. I started with the ip, 192.168.2.2, and it works. I then decided to use the domain name, pasquale-Dell, but the socket is not created. Looking into logs it seems it tries to resolve the name, without success. After a lot of tries it just decides to give up. However, in file /etc/hosts the resolution is

I tried to set cn=myMachine instead of cn=192.168.1.x and...everything frezees! virsh -c qemu://.../system tries to connect forever. You really need static ip addresses in the cn field?? I think this is an HUGE bug: you are saying to me that each time I change network or ip (because, dear sirs, dhcp exists) I have to generate a whole new couple of certificates?? I hope it is not the case....

Hello, I'd like to know if this is an hypervisor related problem or a libvirt one. I did this experiment: on VM I started watching a video on youtube. While video was in progress I started migration. Migration did not complete until video was not finished. I did another experiment: I installed a web server on VM. I then started an httperf stress test. As before migration did not complete

Hi all, I'm investigating the ways to improve the live migration performance in libvirt. I have a question about the vm live storage migration. the platform is libvirt + qemu + kvm If we want to migrate a running vm with its virtual disk images to another node. we can use 'virsh migrate ....' commands. What if this vm has a number of disk-only external snapshots? In the current

Although the migrate command is blocking, there is nothing stopping you from opening up a second connection to the

I set up my certificates, ca client and server, as described in your documentation: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TLSCreateServerCerts. I followed it step by step so it must be ok. However, when I run virsh -c qemu://192.168.1.2/system and I try a command like list --all I get: error: impossible connect to the hypervisor errore: no valid connection errore: Unable to set x509 CA certificate:

I am searching for directions for using live block migration to copy running vm's to a different storage pool. Example: VM1 running on Host1, the image(s) for VM1 are stored in /var/lib/libvirt/images. I'd like to copy the disk image(s) that VM1 is using to /nfs/images. Without stopping/pausing/powering down the VM. Do you have any examples or documentation of how to accomplish this
