"You Are Here" on Snapshots
by Jorge Fábregas
Hello again,
Another question with internal snapshots. I can see the snapshot tree with:
virsh snapshot-list Win7vm --tree
However, I would like to know from what previous snapshot I'm currently
running off. Something like the "You are here" that VMware shows. Is
there a way to find that out?
Thanks,
Jorge

virt-sysprep cannot open image file - Invalid argument
by Ian Pilcher
I'm trying to use virt-sysprep for the first time, and getting the
following error:
[root@ian ~]# virt-sysprep -d rdo-template
Examining the guest ...
Fatal error: exception Guestfs.Error("could not create appliance through
libvirt: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer [code=38
domain=10]")
Digging into the qemu log, I see:
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive
file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/rdo-template.img,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=none:
could not open disk image /var/lib/libvirt/images/rdo-template.img:
Invalid argument
qemu-img -info says this about the file:
image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/rdo-template.img
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 8.0G (8589934592 bytes)
disk size: 1.3G
cluster_size: 65536
Any ideas what's going on?
(libguestfs-tools-1.22.7-1.fc19.x86_64, BTW.)

VM hanging with nested Virt
by Joe Giordano
I am currently utilizing the following nested solution and seeing my VMs
hanging on OS Installation, Looks like I am hitting
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922075 -
L0 - Lenovo Laptop T530i -
F19 - 3.11.3-201.fc19.x86_64
libvirt-1.0.5.6-2.fc19.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.4.2-11.fc19.x86_64
L1 -
1) mgr - rhevm-3.1.0-43.el6ev.noarch / RHEL 6.4 - 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64
2) rhev-h 6.4-20130815.0.el6_4 (actual VM is using VMX and is a KVM based vm not a qemu)
I am wondering if there is any work around or others experience.

vfio Fedora 19
by James Hubbard
Is vfio working under Fedora 19? I'm up to date and have the virt-preview
repo installed. I had to use modprobe vfio-pci so that /dev/vfio/vifo
would show up.
This is the error that I'm getting.
error: internal error: Invalid device 0000:83:00.0 driver file
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:83:00.0/driver is not a symlink
I would have expected iommu_group rather than driver at the end of that.
BTW, this is not generating an error message in virt-manager like it was
prior to updating to virt-preview.

First time xen install - Xen DomU runs, but can't find "/dev/root"
by G Crowe
I'm trying to get started with Xen and thought I'd do a simple install
Fedora 18 as a DomU under a Fedora 18 Dom0. Unfortunately this is not
working for me.
It appears to boot the kernel fine, but then complains that it can't
find "/dev/root". I presume that this would be a specific root image for
the Fedora installer?
The logs indicate that the kernel command line is empty. Apparently
there should be something in there (maybe "root=/dev/xvda") but I am not
sure how to achieve this. I would have expected virt-install to do this
for me, though.
Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? (details of what I
am trying are below).
Also, I had to manually start "xend" to get this far. Is this normal? It
didn't appear in the services in /etc/rc.d/init.d
Thank you
I created a 20GB logical volume /dev/fedora_dhcp1/xen1
I mounted the Fedora 18 installation ISO into /mnt/install (-t iso9660
-o loop,ro)
I created a bridge "brctl addbr br0" (I haven't added any interfaces to
it yet, I plan to sort out the network after getting virtualisation working)
I created the Xen DomU instance using the following command...
[root@dhcp1 ~]# virt-install --paravirt --name xen1 --ram 256 --vcpus 1
-f /dev/fedora_dhcp1/xen1 --network bridge=br0 --location /mnt/install
--graphics none

Internal Snapshots & Used-Space
by Jorge Fábregas
Hi,
I'm using the new snapshot features of virt-manager and since these are
internal snapshots I'm wondering how to figure out how much space a
given snapshot is currently using.
Previously I used base-images+overlays and I could just check the size
of the overlay file to get an idea. If I use "qemu-img info" on my
current disks (the ones with internal snapshots) there's a "VM size"
column there but it shows 0 for offline snapshots.
Is there a way to get the actual used-space for an internal snapshot?
Thanks,
Jorge

Fedora 20 Virt Test Day is October 8th!
by Cole Robinson
Hey all,
The Fedora 20 Virt Test Day is this coming Tuesday, October 8th. Check out the
test day landing page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-10-08_Virtualization
If you're interested in trying out some new virt functionality, there's step
by step instructions for:
* Snapshot UI in virt-manager
* Running ARM VMs on x86 with libvirt/virt-manager
* Libvirt ACLs for granting a user access to only a single VM
Even if you aren't interested in testing new features, we still need you! The
test day is the perfect time to make sure your virt workflow is working fine
on Fedora 20, as there will be several developers on hand to answer any
questions, help with debugging, provide patches, etc. No requirement to run
through test cases on the wiki, just show up and let us know what works (or
breaks).
And to be clear, while it is preferred that you have a physical machine
running Fedora 20, participating in the test day does NOT require it: you can
test the latest virt bits on the latest Fedora release courtesy of the
virt-preview repo. For more details, as well as easy instructions on updating
to Fedora 20, see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-10-08_Virtualization#What.27...
If you can't make the date of the test day, adding test case results to the
wiki anytime next week is fine as well. Though if you do plan on showing up to
the test day, add your name to the participant list on the wiki, and when the
day arrives, pop into #fedora-test-day on freenode and give us a shout!
Thanks,
Cole

If you can spare some time, please consider helping out. We will have
an F20 live cd you can use to test inside a virtual machine on F19,
no need to update. I'll send out a more elaborate pitch later this week.
