Hi, I'm trying to build an active/active virtualization cluster using a Ceph RBD as backing for each libvirt-managed LXC. I know live migration for LXC isn't yet possible, but I'd like to build my infrastructure as if it were. That is, I would like to be sure proper locking is in place for live migrations to someday take place. In other words, I'm building things as if I were

Hi, I've recently been working on setting up a set of libvirt compute nodes that will be using a ceph rbd pool for storing vm disk image files. I've got a couple of issues I've run into. First, per the standard ceph documentation examples [1], the way to add a disk is to create a block in the VM definition XML that looks something like this: <disk type='network'

Hi, A bit of explanation of what I''m trying to achieve : We have a bunch of homogeneous nodes that have CPU + RAM + Storage and we want to use that as some generic cluster. The idea is to have Xen on all of these and run Ceph OSD in a domU on each to "export" the local storage space to the entire cluster. And then use RBD to store / access VM images from any of the machines.

Hello, I would like to use RBD Format 2 images so I can take advantage of layering. However, when I use "qemu-img create -f rbd rbd:data/foo 10G", I get format 1 RBD images. (Actually, when I use the "-f rbd" flag, qemu-img core dumps, but it looks like that feature may have been deprecated [1]) Is there any way to have qemu-img create RBD Format 2 images or am I better off

Hi, I''ve been working on getting a working blktap driver allowing to access ceph RBD block devices without relying on the RBD kernel driver and it finally got to a point where, it works and is testable. Some of the advantages are: - Easier to update to newer RBD version - Allows functionality only available in the userspace RBD library (write cache, layering, ...) - Less issue when

I am running some qemu-kvm virtual machines via libvirt using Ceph RBD as the back-end storage. Today I was testing an update to libvirt-1.0.6 on one of my hosts and discovered that it includes this change: [libvirt] [PATCH] Forbid use of ':' in RBD pool names ...People are known to be abusing the lack of escaping in current libvirt to pass arbitrary args to QEMU. I am one of those

how to use python-guestfs to access rbd device? The function i found is g.add_drive_opts, but i dono know how it receive ceph's configuration. I found this link http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/accessing-ceph-rbd-sheepdog-etc-using-libguestfs/ Is that the only way i should use to access ceph rbd? Can we use python-guestfs to get the same effect? Thanks

Hi everybody, my background: I'm doing Xen since 10++ years, many years with DRBD for high availability, since some time I'm using preferable GlusterFS with FUSE as replicated storage, where I place the image-files for the vms. In my current project we started (successfully) with Xen/GlusterFS too, but because the provider, where we placed the servers, uses widely CEPH, we decided to

I'm having some trouble creating KVM domains with RBD block devices using virsh. I've managed to get virsh to define the domain, but it gives an error when trying to start the domain: error: Failed to start domain test0 error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/3 kvm: -drive

Hello everyone, To increase my odds of finding an answer I also wanted to ask here. This is my post from serverfault[1] in verbatim: While trying to get a cloned disk running from my OS snapshot I run into the problem that Libvirt cannot see existing images cloned from a snapshot. Created via: # rbd -p vmdisks clone vmdisks/coreos_2023@base vmdisks/coreos00.disk The base image has the one

Eric, Well, in case where several servers may start the same virtual machines after a reboot for exemple. http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2013-August/003887.html I've seen this hook here : http://www.wogri.at/en/linux/ceph-libvirt-locking/ But it's a hook... Yes, I may try to write a patch. My coding skills are surely not as good as yours but I 'd be glad to make

Hello, I'm having trouble connecting to rbd images. It seems like somewhere the name is getting chewed up. I wonder if this is related to my previous troubles [1] [2] with rbd images. I'm trying to add an rbd image, but when I launch the guestfs object I get an error: >> libguestfs: trace: launch = -1 (error) I'm adding a single RBD >> libguestfs: trace: add_drive

http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/accessing-ceph-rbd-sheepdog-etc-using-libguestfs/#comment-8806 I came across this link and and i was able to retrieve the rbd image. $ guestfish ><fs> set-attach-method appliance ><fs> add-drive /dev/null ><fs> config -set drive.hd0.file=rbd:pool/volume ><fs> run I was able to retrieve file from rbd image using the above

Hello everybody, virt-install --version 1.4.0 How do I create a ceph network disk with virt-install without having to edit it? <disk type='network' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <auth username='libvirt'> <secret type='ceph' uuid='ec9be0c4-a60f-490e-af83-f0f27aaf48c9'/>

Hello Rich, Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. When you specify an rbd on the command line for virt-sysprep, do you expect the path to include the monitor address? e.g.: >> virt-sysprep -a rbd://host-name/pool-name/device-name If I understand correctly, libvirt is able to understand the ceph configuration, so when I create a device with qemu-img I only specify the protocol and
