Hi folks, for learning purposes I create KVM-based VM with the virt-manager. Later I get rid of the VM and repeat the "process" again. When recreating the VM I always enter the same values into the wizard in virt-manager (i.e. I want to speicfy a given MAC). I'd like to "automate" this procedure, all of what I do in virt-manager for creating the new VM, I' d like

Hello, I have a nwfilter that I'm using to ensure that libvirt domains can't spoof IPv6 traffic. It looks like this: <filter name='no-ipv6-spoofing' chain='ipv6-ip' priority='-710'> <rule action='return' direction='out' priority='500'> <ipv6 srcipaddr='$IPV6' srcipmask='$IPV6MASK'/> </rule>

Hello, I was not able to find information about how CentOS is building its Cloud Images. I know packer etc are able to do it, but I am interested in how CentOS is building its own images as we like to adapt that for our Openstack Cloud. thanks for any hints Nicolas

I have built a CentOS 8 base image from a kickstart, for use in OpenStack. This image boots fine but the problem I have is that I can't stop udev from renaming the network device from eth0 to ens<something>. I have /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with the correct HWADDR defined in it, and have set net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 in the grub configuration, but nothing I have

Hello, I'm a little confused on which networking option I need to choose when setting up a VM. I set up two VMs this past weekend both with NAT. Both able to were access the internet. The first one, I created in my / file system but didn't really have the space so I deleted it. The second one, I created in /home/kvm, but deleted it as well when I couldn't access it FROM the

Hello All- I've looked in several places and haven't found an answer to this question: is it possible to have libvirt add custom rules to iptables for virtual network interfaces? I took a look at the "Firewall and Network Filtering in Libvirt" page and it seems overly complicated for what I want to do. Given an interface virbr2 and its network 192.168.4.0/24, libvirt installs

Hi, we are upgrading some servers from C6 to C7 with a lot of user accounts on them (UID>=500). CentOS 7 has MIN_UID/MIN_GID 1000, Centos 6 has 500 in login.defs. Can I change in /etc/login.defs MIN_UID/MIN_GID to 500 for C7? So I could just grep the users out from passwd/shadow/group files and append them to the Centos7 passwd/shadow/group files. Can this do any damage to CentOS7 later

Where can I find the full list of libvirt supported qemu-ga commands? The docs [0] imply virDomainQemuAgentCommand bypasses libvirt and is not recommended. I am looking to pass suspend/resume events from the host to the guest and then have the guest act on this internally. Your help is appreciated. [0] https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Qemu_guest_agent

Hello, I want to switch from DVDs as a backup medium to a usb flash drive. I have been using Mondo but get tired of feeding it DVD+RWs. I purchased a 128GB flash drive. I can't get Mondo to write to it. I want to be able to make this device bootable. Do I need it reformat it from a Windows file system to ext4? I never had to format a blank DVD previously. Is there a better solution

Everyone, about 4 years ago, I tried to install CentOS 6 on a Supermicro server with SCSI drives using a LSI raid system. I could never figure out or find a way to make the installation disc of Centos 6 identify the SCSI drives. The installation disc for Centos 5 identified the SCSI drives without a problem. I finally gave up on Centos 6 and installed Centos 5 and the system has worked very

Hello, I'm recently stumbled over the libvirt network filter capabilities and got pretty excited. Unfortunately I'm not able to get the the "clean-traffic" filterset working. I'm using a freshly installed Debian Stretch with libvirt, qemu and KVM. My config snippet looks as follows: sudo virsh edit <VM> [...] <interface type='bridge'> <mac

If I have dhcpd running on my machine, and I wish to run virt-manager on the same machine.... How do I do that - its telling me an error for starting the network and the error is that DHCPD is already running - port in use. Thanks, Jerry

Thanks Daniel. Why was I trying to do something like this ? Two reasons 1. I was referring to ( Figure 18.4. Virtual network switch running dnsmasq) https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/index.html#sect-network-protocols that appears to be two virtual nics sharing the same IP range .. !!! 2. was

hi there, I'm following these documentations to add a file-based disk volume to a KVM guest under Centos 6.0 : http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization/chap-Virtualization-Storage_Volumes.html as instructed, I created a "pool" then a "volume", file-based, e.g : mkdir /mnt/raid/kvm_pool1 virsh # pool-define-as pool1 dir - - - -
