That's not a CentOS system. You should probably consult the community 
providing support for your Debian or Ubuntu based system.


I see you run MySQL, so verify your database configuration against the

Hi all,

Thanks.



Don't know what you are checking, but it is definitely included in

https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/latest-virtio/virtio-win.iso

Have used it myself just recently for a few Windows Server 2012 R2 VM 
installs.

Have Centos a Repository with corrected or newer Packages for KVM.


To which bugs do you refer?


On my brand new System ;-), but also with my older System. I have big problems
with KVM guests slow slow slow, the DomU's are also CentOS 7


You must be doing something wrong. I do not share this experience.


virt-manager is also broken with the 7.1


What exactly should be broken? Not on my side


The old Bug in the Kernel is really bad, I have several hundreds log from
the vcpu0 Problem.


Ticket number?

Re: [CentOS-virt] How many virtual guest 'cpus' can a core duo 'quad' core support

 The maximum you can assign to a single VM is the amount of CPUs

  and seen by KVM run # virsh nodeinfo.

 Hello,
 
 I think thats not correct. I my case I have a HP N36L Server with one 
 Dualcore Prozessor and 4 guest running. You can overbook the prozessor.
 Maybe the performance goes down.

Andreas,

Trey didn't say anything different.

You can assign at max the number of physical cores of the KVM host to
any VM. So if your KVM host has 4 cores you can have 1 VM with 4 vCPUs.
And another VM with 4 vCPUs as well. Then you are overbooked.

 Your CPU may not support the required virtualization extensions for

 This command
 
 egrep (vmx|svm) /proc/cpuinfo
 
 should provide some output. If it does not, you will not be able to

 That only relates to running as a virtual guest on top of Xen. No mention
 of VMWare.

You are correct, that this knowledge base article only mentions Xen as the
hypervisor. Though the OP gets exactly the documented kernel panic and
call trace signature. So it is very likely that he is running into this.

Re: [CentOS-virt] IP aliases from a QEMU/KVM guest

2010-08-13 Thread Alexander Dalloz
 Hello,

 I'm trying to set up IP aliases within a QEMU/KVM guest on CentOS 5.5
 x86_64, going through a bridged virtualized interface.

 The virtualized interface in the guest is configured as follow:

 # ifcfg-eth1

 DEVICE=eth1
 BOOTPROTO=none
 PEERDNS=yes
 GATEWAY=IP.OF.HOST.GATEWAY
 HWADDR=11:11:11:11:11:11
 IPADDR=IP.OF.GUEST.ETH1
 NETMASK=255.255.255.255
 ONBOOT=yes
 ARP=yes
 USERCTL=no
 IPV6INIT=no

 # route-eth1

 IP.OF.HOST.GATEWAY dev eth1
 default via IP.OF.HOST.GATEWAY dev eth1

 This is the configuration recommended by the provider (OVH) after a
 virtual MAC address has been allocated for IP.OF.GUEST.ETH1:
 http://help.ovh.com/BridgeClient

 It works fine for virtual interfaces added via libvirt/QEMU.

On first reading I thought eth1 would have been your second interface
within the guest, besides eth0. Meanwhile I think you just skipped eth0.

That is because you can have just 1 default route. The OVH document does
not describe a setup for a 2nd interface.

Well, even for the 1st interface some settings are strange / unnecessary.

Especially when dealing with more than 1 interface, do NOT set the GATEWAY
in ifcfg-ethX. By principle always set GATEWAY (in your case
GATEWAY=x.y.z.254) in /etc/sysconfig/network. Thus you do not need the
route-ethX configuration file, defining a network and a default route. All
that is done automatically.

If you would have more than 1 interface (the OVH doc does not indicate to
be written for such a case, neither notes explicitly to give problems in
that case), then following the OVH doc gives you trouble.

 But when I try to configure an IP alias on another IP address aliasing
 a virtualized interface, as per the instructions from
 http://help.ovh.co.uk/IpAlias (and after assigning it a virtual mac
 just like for eth1) :

 # ifcfg-eth1:1

 DEVICE=eth1:1
 BOOTPROTO=none
 PEERDNS=yes
 GATEWAY=IP.OF.HOST.GATEWAY
 HWADDR=22:22:22:22:22:22

An aliases interface does not have an own MAC, it is physically the same
MAC as the primary interface.

 IPADDR=IP.OF.GUEST.ETH1:1
 NETMASK=255.255.255.255
 ONBOOT=yes
 ARP=yes
 USERCTL=no
 IPV6INIT=no

 I get the following error when restarting the network:

 SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

You created a route-eth1:1 file?

 and IP.OF.GUEST.ETH1:1 is:
 - pingable from the same guest
 - not pingable from other guests by the same provider
 - not pingable from outside

The network infrastructure of the hoster must permit the IP address used
to come from MAC of your system.

 Setting
 BOOTPROTO=static
 or commenting out
 #GATEWAY=IP.OF.HOST.GATEWAY
 or setting:
 NETMASK=255.255.255.252
 (the IP block was a /30, but I don't think that has something to do here)

 did not change the behavior.

The netmask of 255.255.255.255 is given by intention because of the
network layout of your hoster.

 I'll be interested to hear from experiences with setting IP alias from
 within a guest.
 Maybe my problem is due to the configuration of the provider network
 and it is actually impossible to use IP aliases on virtualized
 interfaces.

Yes, as said, the security design of the hoster must permit the use of
defined IPs bound with a dedicated MAC. Ask you hoster.

You can add additional IPs to virtualized interfaces - either by
definining aliased devices or by adding IPs with the help of ip addr add
- but that does not mean they are usable automatically. It is a matter of
security in a hosting / virtualized hosting environment.

 Any opinion/idea welcome!

 Mathieu

Re: [CentOS-virt] Vmware to KVM - possible?

2010-07-26 Thread Alexander Dalloz

 Is it possible to convert a VMWare image to KVM?
 As I have been building a few test machines on Vmware Fusion and would
 like
 to migrate some to a KVM server.

 Thanks in advance.

Yes. Using qemu you can convert from .vmdk to qcow(2) or raw for instance.
