similar to: KVM Storage Pools on LVM

Hi all, Does anyone have a working example of creation of a logical storage pool and volume? I'm hitting a wall getting logical volumes to work on RHEL 6 beta. There's a single drive I'm trying to setup (sdc) as a libvirt managed logical storage pool, but all volume creation on it fails. Here's what I'm finding so far: Prior to any storage pool work, only the host

Hi, John, and thank you! This was a very thorough and welcome response, I was wondering where all the storage guys were... I will get back to you with more details later, specifically about multipath, since this needs to be investigated thoroughly. I have, with trial and error method, during the elapsed time, been able to attach the NPIV pool LUN to a virtio-scsi controller, and it seems it

Hi, Is it possible to create a storage pool based on an LVM thin pool? I read a recent bugzilla but the problem there was that the storage-pool became unusable AFTER creating a thinpool which is a different case. Thanks, Jorge

It says that Logical volume centos_hyv2/swap in use. Maybe centos_hyv2/swap is mounted. So I think you should umount or swapoff centos_hyv2/swap first, make sure it is not used by other process. Then try pool-destroy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phill Edwards" <philledwards@gmail.com> To: libvirt-users@redhat.com Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 8:59:22 PM Subject:

That and home and root are all in the storage pool and

I've created my storage pool incorrectly. I'm using LVM and I have a volume group called vms-lvm. When I look at it in virt-manager I see that the volumes it contains are home, root and swap, so when I created the storage group in virt-manager I must have specified something incorrectly. Unfortunately I can't find a way to correct this. If I try to destroy (stop) the storage group I

I looked around but could not find any info on how to expand a libvirt managed LVM storage pool. I do not see any virsh command to do it but I was successful using the vgexpand command to add some more storage once I destroyed the pools and then restarted it. I'd like to verify that this is the proper way to grow the storage in a libvirt LVM storage pool. And this brings up a second

hi, how do i list storage pools and volumes using the python bindings? basically the python api calls for?virsh pool-list and virsh vol-list thanks

Looking at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/sect-virtual_networking-applying_network_filtering#sect-Applying_network_filtering-Usage_of_variables_in_filters, it sounds like the preferred approach is to use something like: <filter name='no-ipv6-spoofing' chain='ipv6-ip'

Hi all, Presently writing up "Storage Pool" docs for the Fedora Virtualisation Guide. (using both virsh and virt-manager) Having trouble finding out how to specify mount options for fs type storage pools. For example: # virsh pool-define-as guest_images_fs fs - - /dev/sdc1 - "/guest_images" Pool guest_images_fs defined # virsh pool-build guest_images_fs Pool

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

Hi again! Need to add here, since I been investigating a bit further, that it seems to be possible to add an NPIV vhba to the guest, using vdsm hooks. I've seen the reference to "host device assignments", which Dan pointed me too, but I didn't really understand the meaning of it at that moment. It would be interesting to hear from someone that have been doing it, how it would
