Hi, On a KVM host installed with following packages versions : [root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]# rpm -qa | grep libvirt libvirt-devel-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64 libvirt-java-0.4.9-1.el6.noarch libvirt-java-devel-0.4.9-1.el6.noarch libvirt-python-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64 [root@rhel6-roadster test_channels_OK]# rpm -qa | grep qemu

Hi, It looks like , when adding a channel device, that the Guest must be powered off / on to be able to detect the new device . ( simple reboot isn't not enough) Is there any way to avoid this power_cycle ? Thx. J.P.

Hi, I think that issue is due to the fact that my Guest is a transient domain. When shutting down it or migrating to another host , then virsh list --all doesn't show this Guest anymore. How may I make this Guest a persistent one ? ( i.e. this Guest has been created via RHEV-M GUI) Thx for hlep. Regards, J.P. -----Message d'origine----- De : libvirt-users-bounces@redhat.com

Hi, Thanks for infos. My concern is the following : In order to establish datas exchanges between hosts and guest , I'll add a channel device to a running Guest ( as I learned from you that it's possible to do that without stopping the Guest). When the guest migrates to another host , this one must be able to retrieve the channel device parameters to be able to dialog with the

Hi, I found an answer : Use virConnectOpenAuth() instead of virConnectOpenReadOnly(). As my piece of code is running silently (without user connected) , by using virConnectOpenAuth() , is it possible to avoid to prompt user to get user /password ? Thx.

Hi, 1) is it enough to add a hook.py in /usr/libexec/vdsm/hooks/before_vm_start directory , and then shut down and reboot a guest to see this hook.py invoked ? 2) when running manually my hook.py, I got following error : ImportError: No module named hooking Do I have to install anything to solve this issue ?

Hi, In order to use a virtio-serial to exchange data between host and its guests, I'd like to modify the .xml Guest conf file by adding these parameters ( as found in the command line) : -device virtio-serial \ -chardev socket,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait,id=foo \ -device virtserialport,chardev=foo,name=org.fedoraproject.port.0 How should I build the XML tags ?

Hi , Despite the fact that my Guest has an IP address , by running this piece of code on a KVM host : ifaces_count = F_virDomainInterfaceAddresses(domain, &ifaces,VIR_DOMAIN_INTERFACE_ADDRESSES_SRC_LEASE, NULL); ifaces_count = F_virDomainInterfaceAddresses(domain, &ifaces,VIR_DOMAIN_INTERFACE_ADDRESSES_SRC_AGENT, NULL); I'm not able to get a ifaces_count different from

Hi, As told in "Control Groups Resource Management" libvirt page : Legacy cgroups layout Prior to libvirt 1.0.5, the cgroups layout created by libvirt was different from that described above, and did not allow for administrator customization. Libvirt used a fixed, 3-level hierarchy libvirt/{qemu,lxc}/$VMNAME which was rooted at the point in the hierarchy where libvirtd itself was

Hi, I' trying to read datas sent by my KVM host within the Guest. Host send these datas trough a channel UNIX type , by using AF_UNIX socket stuff. If i try to retrive the datas by using such type of thing in the Guest : #define NAME "/dev/virtio-ports/agent" sock = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); 12 if (sock < 0) { 13 perror("opening stream socket");

Hi, My piece of code ( C langage) uses cgroups to retrieve counters related to cpu and memory usage related to KVM guests hosted by the host where this code runs. I noticed that depending on the O.S. running on the host , these counters are not found at the same location : CentOS 7 : ls /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/machine.slice/machine-qemu\\x2drhel6.0.scope/vcpu0 cgroup.clone_children
