xen and libvirt
by Christoph 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

Hi Does someone know how it is possible these parameters: e820_host max_grant_frames to set with libvirt xml config? I use them with xl config but I want to change to libvirt config/tools. (with libvirt 4.10 it is possible to start pvh domains) -- ------ Greetz

by Christoph 01 Jan '19

01 Jan '19

Hi wich tuned profile are the best for dom0 and domU? There are virt-host and virt-guest profiles for kvm, should I use them? If yes, should I use in domU ever virt-guest or is for example network-throughput profile better for a nfs/samba fs server inside domU better? -- ------ Greetz

Upgrade to CentOS 7.6 with centos-xen-48 enabled
by Gennardy Smith 23 Dec '18

23 Dec '18

Hi all, I'm unable to upgrade my Dom-0 from CentOS 7.5 to CentOS 7.6 with the sigvirt centos-xen-48 repository enabled and Xen components enabled. It breaks down to down to the fact that 7.6 has a newer version of libvirt included (4.5), while the Xen repository's packages are build against 4.1 version of libvirt. I also tried to enable the libvirt-latest repository, but that does not contain libvirt-daemon-driver-xen package, so dependency resolution is broken again. Is there some workaround for this, or do I just have to wait for the Xen repository to be updated? Has someone resolved this problem? Regards, G. The following is the output of yum when running yum update: [user@dom0 ~]$ sudo yum update [...] --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: libvirt-daemon-driver-xen-4.1.0-2.xen48.el7.x86_64

Remove viewer for Mac desktop
by Philip Prindeville 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

Hi. I have a couple of Mac’s I use (a MBP 15” and a Mac mini), but I have a stack of Linux KVM/Qemu hosts (Centos 7.5) running various VM’s (Ubuntu, Fedora, Win7, Win10, etc). Currently I ssh in with tunneling for X, and let the VNC client draw remotely on XQuartz. It’s reasonably fast on my 1Gb network, but glitchy (hangs, pointer location being wrong, spurious keyboard repeats, refreshing the bottom 1/8 of the screen over and over for no reason, etc). I’ve been told the Wayland+QXL on the guest, and remote Spice over SSH, is the way to go, but I’ve only found one (fairly out-of-date) OS X client (RemoveViewer.app from https://www.spice-space.org/osx-client.html) I’m not sure if the client is using an out of date API that has really poor performance, or I’ve misconfigured things, or what. Can someone in a similar situation post what they’re doing to get satisfactory performance? Especially if it works well on slower (10mb/s) connections when on the road, etc. Thanks, -Philip

virsh support for TPM?
by Dag Nygren 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Hi again! Succeeded in creating vtpmmgr-stubdom.gz from the source RPM with some shortcuts. ow the next problem seems to be that the libvirt we have will not support the XEN vtpm:s For example: virsh dumpxml <vm-machine> will not contain any info on the vtpm :-( Am I really the first one around with a need for TPM support in the VM:s ??

ANNOUNCE: centos-release-xen switching to 4.8 next week
by Anthony PERARD 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Greeting, We are about to update the centos-release-xen package to point to Xen 4.8 rather than 4.6. I'll push the update next week. As a reminder, you can "pin" your installation to Xen 4.6 by installing centos-release-xen-46 and then removing centos-release-xen. And for the more adventurous, that update will come with a new package centos-release-xen-410 to install Xen 4.10. (Testing will be updated today.) Cheers, -- Anthony PERARD
