similar to: installing and accessing a VM? - newbie question maybe

hi Martin, thanks again for the feedback. maybe you have noted that I am not yet all too familiar with those tools. this is now sort of working for me. But I sense that you seem this method to be less then ideal. Reading through the virsh manual it looks like ... $ virsh snapshot-create [domain] --disk-only --live ... might be doing a similar thing. Maybe more elegant (pure virsh) and on a

I take an internal snapshot (VM is 'shutdown' when taking it) of a qcow2 image like this: $ qemu-img snapshot -c sn1 [my_image].qcow2 I see that snapshot when asking for: $ qemu-img info [my_image].qcow but do NOT see it with: $ virsh domblklist [my_domain] is that how it is meant to be?

The first of two sets of patches. This checks that the templates we supply have the serial console enabled, or in two cases, that the serial console can be enabled by fiddling with some grub config. The second set of patches (to follow) will test that the --password and --root-password options work. This implementation of this is quite complex. Rich.

Hi, Trying to get vga console and a serial console to both work. I can get either one to fully work but not both. When using serial, I do still get a login prompt on the vga, But not all the boot up output. Seems like half to the vga and the rest to the serial port I added lines to /etc/inittab # console port T0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyS0 115200 And added to /etc/lilo.conf

Hi I am running a pxe diskless node in f13 and I have some proposals to make ovirt-early working in this version. nash is no more available (nash/mkinitrd is replaced by dracut), so this following command fails : "echo "network --device $DEVICE --bootproto dhcp" | nash" it makes the network configuration incomplete. I replace the linuxrc command by dhclient and it's

tried it (--live wasn't accepted, so I shut the VM down) and produced a snapshot $ sudo virsh snapshot-delete [domain] [sn-id] returns an error though >> error: Failed to delete snapshot [sn-id] >> error: unsupported configuration: deletion of 1 external disk snapshots not supported yet so do I have to look into the block commit area to proceed here? > On

Is there a way to get GRUB2 and the kernel to run a "serial" console under KVM? I'm running a Fedora 20 desktop, with libvirt-managed VMs. When I run a CentOS 6 VM, I can set both the boot loader and kernel up to use ttyS0 and get a console compatible with "virsh console". When I try the same with a CentOS 7 VM, it doesn't work. If I set it to ttyS0, I just

Hi, With a non-root user account, I am launching virtual machines and would like to get CPU stats for each Core (using python API or not) but face the following problem: - When I issue the command "virsh --readonly cpu-stats MY_DOMAIN" I got the following error: error: Failed to retrieve CPU statistics for domain 'MY_DOMAIN' error: Requested operation is not valid: cgroup

Hello all, I'm trying to use the console to setup our cluster. In the past, we used a floppy and it worked just fine. We had to manually use the "ks=" argument. Now, I actually see the "menu" on the serial console *and* the monitor but I can't use the keyboard. I can only use the keyboard that is connected on the machine. Unplugging the keyboard doesn't help.

It's not 600M in order to accomodate new RPMs. Signed-off-by: Darryl L.

Yes, as the URL indicates, it's from 2012. And, most of

I have tried 4 time unsuccessfully to install Xen 4 on Ubuntu Lucid (10.4) 64 bit version using the tutorial at http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/set-up-ubuntu-10-04-server-pv-domu-at-xen-4-0-dom0-pvops-2-6-32-10-kernel-dom0-on-top-of-ubuntu-10-04-server/ on a Lenovo thinkcentre workstation. When I boot I get a kernel panic. If I boot the Linux kernel that I compiled using the

Our newly build xen kernel does not boot. The error message is : Invalid or unsupported executable format. I have build xen from the xen-2.0.4 source (make world, make install) on a debian sarge system. I have not changed any of the kernel configurations, I did make an initrd image. The entry in my menu.lst is : title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.10-xen0 root (hd0,0) #

I got the impression that the virt-manager does not provide all functionality towards managing kvm machines then the virsh cli tool does (i.e. towards deleting networks). Is that correct? if so, is there any GUI that provides complete access to kvm/qemu/libvirt? thx Gunnar

This patch goes with the node patch just sent, and is ready for pushing upstream. I'll be doing the blacklisting in a later patch once this is upstream.

This patch removes the attempt at setting nodeadmin to be root's shell.

The following patches introduce support for multipath and cciss devices to the ovirt-node and node-image. Comments are appreciated. These patches assume that the 3 patches (2 node, 1 node-image) from Joey are all incorporated. Mike

Hi, I'm trying to install a qemu-kvm virtual machine on a Debian GNU/Linux squeeze amd64 host, using virtinst 0.500.3 and libvirt 0.8.3. First I tried this command as a normal user (in groups kvm and libvirt): $ virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name test1 \ > --ram $((128 * 1024 * 1024)) --vcpus=1 --description 'Test VM 1' \ >

Hi all, a little off topic, but was wondering what the best way is to re-write incoming requests so that they all end up at the same domain. For example, if I had: my_domain.net my_domain.com my_domain.org Whats the best way to map/redirect all of these to www.my_domain.com ? I know its possible, just not sure what to add for rules/virtual hosts in my apache config. Thanks for the help! -Nick
