Dear All, I am running a two location SOHO network with a Microsoft AD on a Windows 2008 R2 server. In detail, the infrastructure is as follows: Primary location: - 1 DC on Windows 2008 R2 hardware server - 1 DC on Windows 2008 R2 virtual server - 2 DC on Windows 2016 virtual servers (forest functional level 2008) - 1 DC on Samba 4.6.2 on Debian Jessie Secondary location: - 1 DC on Samba 4.6.3

Hi T'm trying to convert XEN virtual machine image into raw. Source file is on NFS export and destination is also on nfs export. (both exports are mounted on migration servers RW access). I'm getting permission denied. I have RW access to both exports - I can create, delete objects on both exports from migration server. But when I copy img file onto migration server local filesystem,

Dear All, I am trying to use VM (disk) locking on a two node Centos 7 KVM cluster. Unfortunately, I am not successful. Using virtlockd (https://libvirt.org/locking-lockd.html), I get each host to write the zero length file with a hashed filename to the shared folder specified. Regardless of which host I start a VM (domain) on, they do produce the identical filename per VM. What does not work,

Hello, I am trying to execute virsh commands on a host but it is giving errors due to failure in acquiring lock. root at kvm01:~# virsh suspend blindone error: Failed to suspend domain blindone error: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock Any suggestions how can we figure out possible reasons. -- Jatin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hi, currently i'm following https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit. I 'm playing around with it and it seems to be quite nice. What i want is a daily consistent backup of my image file of the guest. I have the idea of the following procedure: - Shutdown the guest (i can live with a downtime of a few minutes, it will happen in the night). And i think

I have an automatic process setup. It's still pretty new and obviously in need of better error handling because now I find myself in a bad state. I run snapshot-create-as across all my vms, then do zfs replication to the target backup system, then blockcommit everything. virsh snapshot-create-as --domain $vm snap --diskspec $DISK,file=$VMPREFIX/"$vm"-snap.qcow2 --disk-only --atomic

Hi everyone! I use the libvirt(version: 1.2.2) and QEMU(version: 2.2.1) to test qemu snapshot features: I tried virsh blockcommit when VM offline, the virsh blockcommit failed: the error messase as below: error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running when I start the VM, the virsh blockcommit work fine! my question is：we need

Hi, i'm cuurently a bit confused if a guest does have a valid snapshot or not. This is the xml: ... <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/crispor_1604/crispor_1604.sn'/> <backingStore type='file' index='1'> <format

Hello All, I think I have seen this in previous bugs. Trying to live backup qcow2 images. I am able to virsh snapshot-create-as and virsh domblklist shows correct new source, but I am unable to commit back changes to qcow base. I get the above error. Libvirt at 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1.17 Qemu is (2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.22) I tried compiling latest libvirt, but cannot get it to connect to socket on

Hello all, I tried following this guide: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit Unfortunately when I try to do the final virsh blockcommit step I always get the following error: error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'block-commit': Could not reopen file: Permission denied I checked directory und image file permissions, app-armor profiles

Hi, i asked already a time ago about snapshots. I have some guests, each resides in a raw file, placed on an ext3 fs which is on top of a logical volume, for each guest a dedicated lv. The raw is not a "must have", if there are obvious reasons i can convert them to a qcow2. What i want is a consistent backup of each guest taken overnight. If possible i won't have downtime. I can use

Hi , Working on the simple POC : Advanced snapshot using libvirt and qemu . Following are the exact steps which are followed . 1. Created as base VM - Ubuntu 15.10 with following libvirt and qemu versions Using library: libvirt 1.2.16 Using API: QEMU 1.2.16 Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.3.0 QEMU emulator version 2.3.0 (Debian 1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu9.1), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice

On standard Fedora 18 I was attempting blockcommit on a *live* VM, libvirt said it was not supported, so I tried fedora-virt-preview as recommended. We found a problem with qemu 1.4, there seems to be an acknowledged bug, a missing library. On a different system we loaded Fedora 18, and then pulled qemu (1.3) and libvirt (1.0.2) from rawhide. I tried blockcommit with domain shut down, it said

Hi Kashyap Chamarthy: thank you very much for answer my question: 一： lead to VM filesystem becoming read-only 1： test case it lead to VM filesystem becoming read-only test case as follows: we want to snapshot for VM , to obtain VM incremental data，and use virsh blockcommit，qemu-img commit，qemu-img rebase to shorten snapshot chain. Details are as follows（when VM running state， we perform the
