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

I have a RHEL6 that hosts many kvm virtual machines. It has been working fine for a couple years. I apply errata updates about once a week. In the last couple weeks, I've ran into a bug where the virtual machines start failing to start with a cgroup error message. If I reboot the host (very disruptive) then things start working normaly for a few days. Can I configure qemu/libvirt not to use

Hello, I'm running Debian Sid with libvirt/qemu/kvm packages from experimental: $ qemu --version QEMU emulator version 0.13.0 (Debian 0.13.0+dfsg-2), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard $ kvm --version QEMU emulator version 0.13.0 (qemu-kvm-0.13.0 Debian 0.13.0+dfsg-2), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard $ libvirtd --version libvirtd (libvirt) 0.8.6 /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

Hi I was asking about the fedora 14 kernel if it is good enough for cgroup usage because I am trying to set a cgroup under cpu subsytem ( /dev/cgroup/cpu/group1/ ) that have /cpu.rt_runtime_us of 100000 while cpu.rt_period_us has a value of 1000000 i.e a ratio of 1/10 . still when I run a task (endless loop) in that group (cgexec -g cpu,cpuset:group1 ./test) it gets all the cpu core time

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 ? Thanks for help. Regards, J.P. Ribeauville P:

Hi, I'm trying to find out what is the minimum release I need to use to have this field 'state' available ? <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='//var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dummy_agent'/> <target type='virtio' name=dummy' state='connected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address

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 all I have CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406, libvirt 1.2.7 installed. Just after create and start inside LXC container present cgroups.

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, Is there some tool or method in centos that can limit cpu usage to some percentage for specified processes that consume large cpu resource? I found cpulimit which is only able to limit one process. what I want is one tool that can limit several same processes' cpu usage. Thanks! Regards andrew

Hi, By adding following lines in a Guest .xml conf file , I'm able to send / receive datas between host and this guest. <channel type='pty'> <target type='virtio' name='arbitrary.virtio.serial.port.name'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> My question is

Hello, Does it exist some documentation concerning following topic ? What's difference between following perf counters : /cgroup/cpuacct/libvirt/qemu/test/cpuacct.usage and /cgroup/cpuacct/libvirt/qemu/test/emulator/cpuacct.usage Thx . Regards, J.P.

Hi, I'm trying to use unix-type channel to send/receive datas between host and guest . Here are the steps I follow : 1) Adding these lines to expose a channel unix type to my guest <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/omnivision_1.agent'/> <target type='virtio'

When I create a VM using libvirt, the VM comes up the path /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu.rt_runtime_us set to something like 1000000. When I create a container however, the path /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu.rt_runtime_us is 0. This prevents my containers from being able to run any real time applications. I have to explicitly echo a value into this field in order to give the container some real time

Hello, I'm trying to use libvirt as a non-root user to obtain statistics on the CPU usage by VMs using the Python API. I'm performing basically the following steps: import libvirt conn = libvirt.openReadOnly(None) dom = conn.lookupByUUIDString('268e38ea-1bc7-41e4-c19e-8eff682e58e4') dom.getCPUStats(True, 0) However, they result in the following error: libvir: QEMU Driver
