qemu-img resize
by aurfalien 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi, I've been using qemu-img resize for a few days now, seems fine. But if I du the VMs image file, it still shows the size before resizing. Inside that VM, the new size shows correctly. Is qemu-img resize the right tool for this? Once I qemu-img resize, I then use various fdisk/ LVM tools, etc... to resize within the VM just incase you all were wondering. - aurf

qemu-img resize run on live VM
by aurfalien 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hi, I ran gemu-img on a VM thinking it was down but in fact it was live. I rebooted the VM and it does show the added space after running pv/lv etc to resize the disk, also the KVM server if you will, also shows the correct new size of that particular VMs raw file via du. However the virtual machine manager still shows the disk size of that VM as being before the resize. Is there a way that I can fix this? Is this a benign discrepancy? Thanks in advance, - aurf

Looking for Instance backed Centos 6 x86_64 images
by Asit Kharshikar 05 Jun '13

Hello Folks, I am looking for official centos 6 x86_64 AMI's for the Singapore region. I found an ebs backed Centos image from http://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS (ami-3e22616c) in the market place <https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/ordering/ref=dtl_psb_continue?ie=UTF8&pr oductId=adc4348e-1dc3-41df-b833-e86ba57a33d6&region=ap-southeast-1> . However I am unable to find corresponding instance backed images. Can you help point me in the right direction for this? Thanks in advance for your help! - Asit

Package lists for Cloud images
by Karanbir Singh 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

hi Guys, As we get ready to start publishing Cloud Images ( or rather images consumable in various virt platforms, including public and private clouds ) - it would be great to have a baseline package manifest worked out. What / how many images should we build. At this time we were thinking of doing : - CentOS-5 32bit minimal - CentOS-6 32bit minimal - CentOS-5 64bit minimal - CentOS-6 64bit minimal - CentOS-5 64bit LAMP - CentOS-6 64bit LAMP What would be the minimal functional requirements people would expect from these images ? and what rpms should be installed ? Should root login be enabled or should we require people to go in via a 'centos' user. Should the image be self-updating, or should we have a post-login message that indicates outstanding updates ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

CentOS-6.4 AMI's for testing
by Karanbir Singh 28 May '13

28 May '13

hi, We are going to run a public test cycle for the CentOS AMI's that we publish as the official ones. This test will run for 1 week, ending on the 4th May, when we will do the formal release. Request: please dont use these AMI's for production, please dont use these AMI past the 4th of May. For all change and fix requests, either post to this list and we will attempt to get things turned around super quick, or find either Tru or me in #centos-devel or #centos-virt on irc.freenode.net. Our nicknames are tru_tru and z00dax respectively. These AMI's exist in us-east1 for now. Please keep them there. For release, we will have the images in the MarketPlace, as we did for 6.3. But we will also publish the AMI's in every region ( including sydney! ) and make sure the ID's are well documented, additionally, we will publish the raw backing files, so people can take these images to on-premise or non AWS resources as well. Once we have reasonalbe confidence in the images, I will convert them into EBS backed as well : ami-ede18284 CentOS-6.4/x86_64 Base OS AMI ami-43cfac2a CentOS-6.4/x86_64 Base OS + Updates/20130427 AMI ami-b5c8abdc CentOS-6.4/i386 Base OS AMI ami-d9ceadb0 CentOS-6.4/i386 Base OS + Updates/20130427 AMI Note: These AMI's have only been tested via a single instantiation, and ssh login + logout. The distro tests for these ami's are currently running, and I will report succes / fails to the list as a followup. Also, worth noting : while building the i386/updates image; about 90% of all instantiations failed with a xen/pae kernel error. I'm not sure why the aki, in this case aki-b6aa75df, seems to get confused about the disk hosted kernel type. If anyone else also sees this, let me know. for now, I'm writing this off as a flaky something. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Re: [CentOS-virt] virt-manager like tool for Android

Look in the Play Store for 'VM Manager' - I am able to start/stop VM's with it...

This is important for things like OS installs or when do admin work where the network is down. This means I have to install a little linux machine though as none of my clients are linux shops. So I got to wondering; If I understand, virt-manager is more or less a hypervisor-aware VNC client, is it not? Is there anything equivalent for Android devices? Many of my clients have Android devices and are certainly more comfortable with those devices then with our linux appliance. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has a similar solution to iOS devices, too. Paid apps is fine, anything that does the job is good.

Very odd mouse issue
by aurfalien 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi, I'm VNCing into my KVM server and opening virt-manager. When trying to manage a newly created guest, I'm finding the mouse pointer stays on the outside of its virtual machine window. Any insight as to why its tracking so oddly? Thanks in advance, - aurf
