similar to: problem with disk virtio driver

Hi Andrea, Thanks for the reply; To shed some more light on the matter I performed a few more tests; each time doing a clean install. I installed ubuntu14.04 as the guest OS, keeping everything else the same. On my custom Linux I've created ubuntu VMs before (using ide drivers) and it all works file. This time I created the VM using virtio disk drivers and the installation didn't

I'm trying to clone a volume in a storage pool and I'm following the steps described here: http://libvirt.org/docs/libvirt-appdev-guide-python/en-US/html/libvirt_application_development_guide_using_python-Storage_Pools-Cloning.html My code looks like: destXML = """ <volume>

I am building a custom Linux image which includes KVM and will be installed on multiple machines. By default when installing libvirt you get a 'default network' which adds a 'vrbr0'. I found several tutorials online about removing this 'virbr0' but I would like to not have it in the first place. I am compiling libvirt from source so I would think there is some compile time

Using: edk2.git-0-20150803.b1141.ga0973dc.x86_64 edk2.git-ovmf-x64-0-20150802.b1139.gb234418.noarch On Fedora 22. Provisioning a i440FX system in virt-manager and attempting to boot results in successful EFI initialization, but the VM exits ungracefully after the bootloader (with F22 and CentOS 7 installer images). There's no really useful information in any of the logs. Using qemu-kvm

Hi, I have a fedora27 system with a win10 guest trying to use photoshop 2015. I've adjusted the vram parameter for the guest to 512M with QXL, but photoshop still reports "3D features and some filters require 512MB vRAM and photoshop has detected less than that on your system." What is the proper way to adjust the vram value to provide at least 512MB vram? I've included my xml

Hi, I'm investigating a performance issue on a virtualized windows server host that is run on a ubuntu machine via libvirt/qemu. While the host can easily read/write on the raid drive with 100Mmb/s as observable with dd, the virtualized windows server running on that host is barely able to read/write with at most 8Mb/s and averages around 1.4Mb/s. This has grown to the extent that the

After saving a particular VM running WinXP, any attempt to resume it (even when no other VM's are running) generates the following error: olympus ~ # virsh restore /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/WinXP.save error: Failed to restore domain from /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/WinXP.save error: internal error: Failed to reserve port 5908 This started sometimes towards the end of last year with only the

Hi all, I have the following issue, and I hope someone know a way to handle it. I need to grammatically need to create/install a guest OS using the libvirt API. Currently what I do: 1. create a xml with the vm configuration (this will include a path to the iso image) 2. connection.defineXML(<my_config>) 3. vm = connection.lookupByName(<domain_name>) 4. vm.create() This will

Hi, I have a fedora25 system with a Windows10 host and would like to use it for photoshop. However, it complains the video memory is too low. I'm using the QXL driver and it appears to be limited to 256MB? I've installed the Red Hat QXL driver in Windows. I have 4GB of memory allocated overall, and could allocate more if necessary. How do I increase the available video memory? Photoshop

Hi all, I am trying to figure out if you can store the definition of a directory storage pool in a custom location. This is how I create the storage pool: xmlDesc = """ <pool type='dir'> <name>guest_images_storage_pool</name> <uuid>8c79f996-cb2a-d24d-9822-ac7547ab2d01</uuid> <capacity unit='bytes'>4306780815</capacity>

I am using the libvirt API to manage VMs on the system, using a python wrapper to execute commands. I need to allow a webserver to access these commands and mostly read information about the VMs. The problem is that when using the web interface you use are basically running the commands as different user. Since libvirtd is run as root by default you get permission errors. Is there any way of

Sorry for posting bad debug info.

Hi, I have a Windows 7 SP1 Pro 64-bit VM which works fine on libvirt 2.3.0 and Qemu 2.7.0. If I enable HyperV features (https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsFeatures) like "relaxed", "spinlocks" etc - VM doesn't boot. "Starting Windows" text appears for ~2 seconds (no flying dots, no logo) and then it just goes to black screen. If I switch HyperV

Hi all, I am using libvirt to manage VM on my system; after creating a VM (default no NICs are present in the configuration) you can add any number of interfaces to it (as long as they exist on the host). To do that, I edit the configuration xlm: vmXml = self.domain.XMLDesc() root = ET.fromstring(vmXml) devices = root.find('./devices') intf =
