Emergency help needed on host network randomly stop working.
by Magicloud Magiclouds 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi, This is a Centos 5.5 host with one xen guest. About 2 weeks ago, the host randomly lost network connection. By this I mean I could not connect to the services on it, or ping it. Also was the status of the guest. From serial console, I connected to the host, trying to see what happened. No clue (any error messages) in messages or dmesg. ifdown/ifup the interface did not help, either. Only rebooting was my only choice. Searching through Google, I got the information that some other guys met similar problem, and resolved by setting stp on with the bridge interface. I set it, too. And the problem still occurs. Any idea what I should check now? Thanks. -- 竹密岂妨流水过山高哪阻野云飞

KVM and shared disc...
by Gilberto Nunes 09 Oct '11

Hi all I have deploy some VM's with MS Windows 2008 R2. I deploy it using virt-manager, on CentOS 6. On the same host where I installed CentOS I have installed LIO-Target to, in order to providing iSCSI storage to VM's, 'cause I need install Windows Cluster failover here. I was work with iSCSI initiator from inside each VM's but this pratice show me very instable situations. Now, I use iscsi-initiator direct from host, on physical linux server and I try to seek the iSCSI storage from that host... I was capable to found the device and attached into VM settings, via virt-manager. But, when I try to start the VM, I get this message: libvirtError: internal error Process exited while reading console log output char device redirected to /dev/pts/2 qemu-kvm+ -device lsi,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7: Parameter 'driver' expects a driver name Try with argument '?' for a list Someone has take this error someday???

Should I switch and if so what is the procedure
by Rich 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Since the Xen and Linux kernel people have finally made peace and Xen is going to be included with the kernel, should I keep using the Xen virtual server with Centos or should I switch to KVM? I am running Centos 5.7 now. I guess the real question is can I still use Xen with Centos 6?

kvm-qemu: unable to execute QEMU command savevm (monitor missing?)
by Jason Brian Friedrich 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

System: CentOS Linux release 6.0 (final) Kernel: 2.6.32-71.23.1.el6.x86_64 KVM: QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.1 (qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2) Libvirt: ibvirtd (libvirt) 0.8.1 Hi everyone, I only recently subscribed to this list and hope you can shed some light on the following error. I created a VM on my Centos 6 KVM machine, used a qcow2 image and wanted to create a snapshot via 'virsh snapshot-create' command: // [root@kvmhost ~]# virsh snapshot-create server01 error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'savevm': The command savevm has not been found \\ I googled before the post, found some [0] threads [1], but could not find an answer how to solve the problem. If the kvm-qemu lacks the support of a savevm monitor, how can I add one? Do I need to recompile kvm-qemu with special flags or is simply a RPM package or a module missing? Thanks in advance, - Jason [0] http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2011-July/002557.html [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2011-August/msg00011.html

overlay image on centos 6 do not work
by Kai Krueger 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hello, I have some problems with overlay images on a host running centos 6.0 * I have 2 physical hosts, one running centos 5.5, the other running centos 6.0 * I created a virtual linux host with a raw file image centos6.img I can start this vm on both machines. * then I created an overlay of the file image with qemu-img create -b centos6.img -f qcow2 centos6.ovl when I start the VM from the ovelay on the centos6 machine I get: --- Booting from Hard Disk... Boot failed: not a bootable disk No bootable device --- When booting from the raw-image and adding the overlay as second disk I see the following: ========== cut here ========== fdisk -l Disk /dev/vda: 8598 MB, 8598323200 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1045 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000bb12f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/vda1 * 1 1046 8395776 83 Linux Disk /dev/vdb: 0 MB, 262144 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Disk /dev/vdb doesn't contain a valid partition table ========== cut here ========== As one can see, the overlay image does not have any partition table. Starting the vm with exactly these images (per nfs-mount) on the centos-5.5 host works properly. Is my problem an known bug or is it an old feature that has been removed?

Strange problem with guest having more than 3 virtual interfaces.

Hi, I have 6 DomU's with 4-virtual interfaces and 1 DomU with only one. When starting the DomU's in order where the domain with only one interface is started last it refuses to start with following error. If I start it first there is no problem starting them all. ---Error--- [2011-10-02 18:37:33 xend.XendDomainInfo 6728] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:1335) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch [2011-10-02 18:37:33 xend 6728] DEBUG (DevController:179) Waiting for devices vif.

Second VM cannot use the network.
by Magicloud Magiclouds 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hi, I started to use libvirt and kvm yesterday. The first VM works great. Today I made another VM, same configuration as before. But its network just did not work. The guest cannot even get a dhcp ip. The network is NAT mode. The first VM got internal ip correctly. The command I made the VM is: virt-install -nzabbix1 -r2048 --vcpus=2 -c/var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-netinstall.iso --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --disk vol=kvmguests/zabbix1 --vnc -v --virt-type=kvm --check-cpu --prompt --arch=x86_64 --vnclisten=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole --noreboot --autostart What should I do? -- 竹密岂妨流水过山高哪阻野云飞

Network and IP's
by Thomas Rønshof 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi, When "playing" with Cent OS 5.x Virtualization, I could have a host with IP:192.168.10.40 and the guests with IP's: 192.168.10.41, 192.168.10.42... an so on. But now after installing Cent OS 6.0 as a host, I can't figure out how to make my guest get the same IP's. My host is still 192.168.10.40, but the 1. guest i make, get an IP of 192.168.122.x ! I can see something in virtual-manager concerning virtual-networks. It looks new compared to COS 5.x. Is it not possible ? Regards Thomas

Storage and backup considerations
by Thomas Rønshof 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi, Some very newbie questions. I have to move an old SCO-Unix server to a Cent OS 6.0 guest on a Cent OS 6.0 Host. The space used on the SCO is 65 GB. How shall i plan the storage ? Make an image based guest of 100 GB an install on that ? Or is LVM based better regarding performance ? Should i allocate 100GB or 200 GB ? What is best ? What about backup ? Should i take backup from the guest with tar/cpio or backup of the image file on the host ? What is the preferable ? Regards Thomas.
