similar to: Disable virtlockd

Hi all, Trying to test libvirt 1.1.3 with virtlockd locking my qcow2 images on a NFS storage between two kvm hosts. ./configure ... --with-init-script=upstart Libvirtd upstart script is actually well generated but I can't see nothing about virtlockd... or am I blind ? :) Nevertheless, running virtlockd -d && service libvirtd restart works fine. Am I wrong thinking that editing

Hi list, I would like to ask a clarification about how locking works. My test system is CentOS 7.7 with libvirt-4.5.0-23.el7_7.1.x86_64 Is was understanding that, by default, libvirt does not use any locks. From here [1]: "The out of the box configuration, however, currently uses the nop lock manager plugin". As "lock_manager" is commented in my qemu.conf file, I was

I have several Qemu/kvm servers running VMs hosted on an NFS share, and am using virtlockd. (lock_manager = "lockd" in qemu.conf) After a power failure, one of the VMs will not start, claiming that it is locked. How do I get out of this? thanks, Steve Gaarder System Administrator, Dept of Mathematics Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA gaarder@math.cornell.edu

Hi Eric, Here is my try to write a quick upstart script for virtlockd. It should be named /etc/init/virtlockd.conf, then : ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job /etc/init.d/virtlockd It seems to work for me : # virtlockd - Locking daemon for libvirt description "virtlockd" start on filesystem and runlevel [2345] stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016] pre-start script test -x

Hi, I've read in the documentation that virtlockd uses SIGUSR1 to dump its state and then re-execs itself. Now I tried it and this seems to fail because virtlockd is being launched without a full path (when using the init script), thus re-exec fails with the error: error : virLockDaemonPreExecRestart:1092 : Unable to restart self: No such file or directory Changing in the init script

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'm playing with libgfapi network disks, over IB and all is working fine, but not disk locking (and true rdma transport). I use virtlockd, and with fuse mount, locking works as expected. But when i converted disk definitions to libgfapi, locks are not created (but qemu starts and works fine). I used direct and indirect locking - same result : qemu working fine, no locks. my

Hi all, I'm testing virtlockd with libvirt 1.1.3 and it seems I can't migrate my VMs from the first to my second kvm node (on a NFS storage). Virtlockd is locking my qcow2 : Error : resource busy Lockspace resource 'ea3jkj78.....' is locked As a result my VM is paused. How can I fix this behavior ? Thank you for your help.
