Hi, i have a domain (SLES 10 SP4) running with KVM. Time is very wrong when booting unless ntp synchronizes. What can i do ?

Hi, i try to run virt-manager on a SLES 11 SP1 box. I'm using kernel 2.6.32.12 and virt-manager 0.9.4-106.1.x86_64 . The system is a 64bit box. Here is the output: ========================= pc56846:/media/idg2/SysAdmin_AG_Wurst/software_und_treiber/virt_manager/sles_11_sp1 # virt-manager & [1] 9659 pc56846:/media/idg2/SysAdmin_AG_Wurst/software_und_treiber/virt_manager/sles_11_sp1 #

Hi, what does "virsh destroy" with the domain ? Send a kill -9 to the process ?

Pacemaker always knows where its resources are running. Query it, stop the domain, then use the queried location as the host to which to issue the snapshot?

Bernd, another option would be a mismatch between the message that "virsh destroy" issues and the message that force_stop() in the pacemaker agent expects to receive. Pacemaker is trying to determine the success or failure of the destroy based on the concatenation of the text of the exit code and the text output by virsh; if either of those have changed between virsh versions, and

Hi, i'm using virt-manager to manage serveral guests on a sles 11 host. For one guest, i configured a password to enter the console via virt-manager (not via VNC). How can i get rid of it ?

Hi, i wanted to benchmark a windows guest, compare standard driver and virtio driver. I installed the domain first with an IDE disk. I followed https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Paravirtualized_Block_Drivers_for_Windows to install the virtIO driver. In the device manager my VirtIO disk is recognized as a VirtIO SCSI disk from RedHat which seems ok for me. But the driver is, following the device

Hi, i have several vm's running on KVM hosts. Recently i found out that the time in the log-files of the guests (/var/log/libvirt/qemu/xxx.log) is wrong. The time on the guest itself is right, just the time in the log-files is one hour back. Windows and linux vm's are affected. Also on another host the same. Changing the clock offset does not have any influence, still the wrong time in

Hi, i'm currently installing a SLES 12 64bit system. libvirt-client-1.2.5-13.3.x86_64 and libvirt-daemon-1.2.5-13.3.x86_64. Formerly I created my vm's (KVM) using a traditional bridge in my host systems, mostly SLES 11 SP3. But with SLES 12 I don't succeed. I can use the macvtap device in the host, but I like to be able to communicate between host and guest. Is the traditional bridge

Hi, Is it possible that "virsh destroy" does not stop a domain ? I'm asking because i have some domains running in a two-node HA-Cluster (pacemaker). And sometimes one node get fenced (killed) because it couldn't stop a domain. That's very ugly. This is also the reason why i asked before what "virsh destroy" really does ? IIRC a kill -9 can't terminate a

Hi, i have a Linux domain (Ubuntu 14.04) where we like to be able to change the amount of usable memory. We have a balloon device and statistics are switched in 5 sec. rhythm. The domain shows very quickly changes (following top) when we change the memory size with setmem, but the host does not show changes in the use of memory for the respective domain. Is that expected behavior ? Host is SLES

Hi, i have a strange situation: A domain is still running where domblklist points to a snapshot file and also dumpxml says the current drive is that snapshot file. But the file has been deleted hours ago. And the domain is still running. I can login via ssh, the database and the webserver are still running, domain is performant. How can that be ? Also lsof shows that the file is deleted:

Hi, recently i had some domains stopped without any obvious reason for me. Unfortunately i didn't find the cause. I'd like to log information about the domains that i have more information the next time this will happen. In /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf i have: log_level = 3 log_outputs="3:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" which creates enormous log files, but with logrotate and

Hi, i have a two-node cluster running on SLES 12 with pacemaker. The cluster refused to start the domains on one node. So i took some of the domains out of the cluster and tried to start it manually. This is what happened: virsh # define /mnt/share/vm_documents-oo.xml error: Failed to define domain from /mnt/share/vm_documents-oo.xml error: cannot open /dev/null: Operation not permitted Same

Hi ML, i'm thinking about using balloon memory for our domains. We have about 15 domains running concurrently, and i think it might be nice if a domain requires more RAM it grabs it, and if it don't need it anymore, it releases it. But i have no experience with it. So i have some questions: - is live migration possible with balloon ? - is it stable ? - the domain needs an appropriate
