The old syntax was
-usbdevice host:PRODUCT:VENDOR
Or
-usbdevice host:BUS.DEV
The new syntax is
-device usb-host,product=PRODUCT,vendor=VENDOR
Or
-device usb-host,hostbus=BUS,hostaddr=DEV
The previous syntax was severely limited in its options
-usbdevice disk:/home/berrange/output.img
The new syntax is the same as for other disk types
-drive file=/home/berrange/output.img,if=none,id=usb-1,index=1
-device usb-storage,drive=usb-1
Again, the index= arg is wrong here, and will be removed in a
later merge
The current syntax uses a pair of args
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:56:6c:55,vlan=3,model=pcnet,name=pcnet.0
-net user,vlan=3,name=user.0
The new syntax does not need the vlan craziness anymore, and
so has a simplified pair of args
-netdev user,id=user.0
-device pcnet,netdev=user.0,id=pcnet.0,mac=52:54:00:56:6c:55,addr=<PCI SLOT>
The current syntax for audio devices is a horrible multiplexed
arg
-soundhw sb16,pcspk,ac97
The new syntax is
-device sb16,id=sound0
or
-device AC97,id=sound1,addr=<PCI SLOT>
NB, pcspk still uses the old -soundhw syntax
The current character device syntax uses either
-serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2
Or
-chardev tty,id=serial0,path=/dev/ttyS2 -serial chardev:serial0
With the new -device support, we now prefer
-chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0
This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new
scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old
QEMU.
The monitor device changes to
-chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor
In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the
default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the
need for us to explicitly turn each off
Probe for the new -device flag and if available set the -nodefaults
flag, instead of using -net none, -serial none or -parallel none.
Other device types will be converted to use -device in later patches.
The -nodefaults flag will help avoid unwelcome surprises from future
QEMU releases
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Probe for -device. Add -nodefaults flag.
Remove -net none, -serial none or -parallel none
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Define QEMU_CMD_FLAG_DEVICE
* tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-0.12.1: New data file for 0.12.1 QEMU
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: Test feature extraction from 0.12.1 QEMU
Existing applications using libvirt are not aware of the disk
controller concept. Thus, after parsing the <disk> definitions
in the XML, it is neccessary to create <controller> elements
to satisfy all requested disks, as per their defined drive
addresses
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDefAddDiskControllers()
method for populating disk controllers, and call it after
parsing disk definitions.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Call virDomainDefAddDiskControllers()
when doing ARGV -> XML conversion
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv*.xml: Add disk controller
data to all data files which don't have it already
It is perfectly acceptable to have multiple sound devices of
same type in guest configuration. If the underlying hypervisor
does not like this, it is its job to complain, not the XML
parser's
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Remove hack which deleted duplicated
sound device models.
* tests/xml2sexprdata/xml2sexpr-fv-sound.xml: Remove duplicate
models
The latter is not officially "wrong", but *is* terribly anachronistic.
I think automake documentation or comments call that syntax obsolescent.
* cfg.mk (_makefile_at_at_check_exceptions): Exempt @SCHEMADIR@
and @SYSCONFDIR@ uses -- there are no Makefile variables for those.
* docs/Makefile.am: Use $(INSTALL), not @INSTALL@.
* examples/dominfo/Makefile.am: Similar.
* examples/domsuspend/Makefile.am: Similar.
* proxy/Makefile.am: Similar.
* python/Makefile.am: Similar.
* python/tests/Makefile.am: Similar.
* src/Makefile.am: Similar.
* tests/Makefile.am: Similar.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: add defaults for the video device
* src/esx/esx_vmx.[ch]: add VNC support to the VMX handling
* tests/vmx2xmltest.c, tests/xml2vmxtest.c: add tests for the VNC support
The current code for using -drive simply sets the -drive 'index'
parameter. QEMU internally converts this to bus/unit depending
on the type of drive. This does not give us precise control over
the bus/unit assignment though. This change switches over to make
libvirt explicitly calculate the bus/unit number.
In addition bus/unit/index are actually irrelevant for VirtIO
disks, since each virtio disk is a separate PCI device. No disk
controller is involved.
Doing the conversion to bus/unit in libvirt allows us to correctly
attach SCSI controllers when required.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Specify bus/unit instead of index for
disks
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk*.args: Switch over from
using index=NNNN, to bus=NN, unit=NN for SCSI/IDE/Floppy disks
When parsing the <disk> element specification, if no <address>
is provided for the disk, then automatically assign one based on
the <target dev='sdXX'/> device name. This provides for backwards
compatability with existing applications using libvirt, while also
allowing new apps to have complete fine grained control.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress()
for assigning a controller/bus/unit address based on disk target
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Call virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress() after
generating XML from ARGV
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/*.xml: Add in drive address information
to all XML files
Only print out '.' for each test case, full test output can be
re-enabled with VIR_TEST_VERBOSE=1, or VIR_TEST_DEBUG=XXXX
Sample output now looks like
TEST: statstest
........................................ 40

PASS: statstest
TEST: qparamtest

PASS: qparamtest
TEST:
............ 12 OK
The MAC addresses with 00:50:56 prefix are split into several ranges:
00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff 'static' range (manually assigned)
00:50:56:80:00:00 - 00:50:56:bf:ff:ff 'vpx' range (assigned by a VI Client)
Erroneously the 'vpx' range was assumed to be larger and to occupy the
remaining addresses of the 00:50:56 prefix that are not part of the 'static'
range.
00:50:56 was used as prefix for generated MAC addresses, this is not possible
anymore, because there are gaps in the allowed ranges. Therefore, change the
prefix to 00:0c:29 which is the prefix for auto generated MAC addresses anyway.
Allow arbitrary MAC addresses to be used and set the checkMACAddress VMX option
to false in case the MAC address doesn't fall into any predefined range.
* docs/drvesx.html.in: update website accordingly
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: set the auto generation prefix to 00:0c:29
* src/esx/esx_vmx.c: fix MAC address range handling and allow arbitrary MAC
addresses
* tests/vmx2xml*, tests/xml2vmx*: add some basic MAC address range tests
The behavior for the qemu balloon device has changed. Formerly, a virtio
balloon device was provided by default. Now, '-balloon virtio' must be
specified on the command line to enable it. This patch causes libvirt to
add '-balloon virtio' to the command line whenever the -balloon option is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: check for the new flag and
add "-baloon vitio" to qemu command when needed
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: add the new flag for detection
tests/virt-aa-helper-test and examples/apparmor are not included in
official tarballs, but should be. Attached is a patch to fix that
which works when apparmor is and is not available.
Change -monitor, -serial and -parallel output to use -chardev if it is
available.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Update qemudBuildCommandLine to use -chardev where
available.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add -chardev equivalents
for all current serial and parallel tests.
Initial support for the new QEMU monitor protocol using JSON
as the data encoding format instead of plain text
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Hack to turn on QMP
mode. Replace with a version number check on >= 0.12 later
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Delegate to json monitor if enabled
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h: Add
impl of QMP protocol
* src/Makefile.am: Add src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.{c,h}
esxVMX_IndexToDiskName handles indices up to 701. This limit comes
from a mapping gap in virDiskNameToIndex:
sdzy -> 700
sdzz -> 701
sdaaa -> 728
sdaab -> 729
This line in virDiskNameToIndex causes this gap:
idx = (idx + i) * 26;
Fixing it by altering this line to:
idx = (idx + (i < 1 ? 0 : 1)) * 26;
Also add a new version of virIndexToDiskName that handles the inverse
mapping for arbitrary indices.
* src/esx/esx_vmx.[ch]: remove esxVMX_IndexToDiskName
* src/util/util.[ch]: add virIndexToDiskName and fix mapping gap
* tests/esxutilstest.c: update test to verify that the gap is fixed
Introduce a new type="dir" mode for <disks> that allows use of
QEMU's virtual FAT block device driver. eg
<disk type='dir' device='floppy'>
<source dir='/tmp/test'/>
<target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
gets turned into
-drive file=fat:floppy:/tmp/test,if=floppy,index=0
Only read-only disks are supported with virtual FAT mode
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add type="dir"
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Document new disk type
* src/xen/xend_internal.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: Raise error for
unsupported disk types
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-cdrom-empty.args: Fix
empty disk file handling
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-fat.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk-drive-fat.xml,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-floppy-drive-fat.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-floppy-drive-fat.xml
tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Test QEMU vitual FAT driver
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Support generating fat:/some/dir type
disk args
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Temporarily skip labelling
of directory based disks
Recent qemu releases require command option '-enable-qemu' in order
for the kvm functionality be activated. Libvirt needs to pass this flag
to qemu when starting a domain. Note that without the option,
even if both the kernel and qemu support KVM, KVM will not be activated
and VMs will be very slow.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: parse the extra command
line option from help and add it when running kvm
* tests/qemuhelptest.c: this modified the flags output for qemu-0.10.5
and qemu-kvm-0.11.0-rc2 regression tests
VMware uses two MAC address prefixes: 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56. The 00:0c:29
prefix is used for ESX server generated addresses. The 00:50:56 prefix is
split into two parts. MAC addresses above 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff are generated
by a vCenter. The rest of the 00:50:56 prefix can be assigned manually.
Any MAC address within the 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56 prefix can be specified
in a domain XML config and the driver will handle the details internally.
* src/esx/esx_vmx.c: fix MAC address formatting
* tests/xml2vmxdata/*: update test files accordingly
* src/security/virt-aa-helper.c: get_definition() now calls the new
caps_mockup() function which will parse the XML for os.type,
os.type.arch and then sets the wordsize. These attributes are needed
only to get a valid virCapsPtr for virDomainDefParseString(). The -H
and -b options are now removed from virt-aa-helper (they weren't used
yet anyway).
* tests/virt-aa-helper-test: extend and fixes tests, chmod'ed 755
allows the following to be specified in a domain:
<channel type='pipe'>
<source path='/tmp/guestfwd'/>
<target type='guestfwd' address='10.0.2.1' port='4600'/>
</channel>
* proxy/Makefile.am: add network.c as dep of domain_conf.c
* docs/schemas/domain.rng src/conf/domain_conf.[ch]: extend the domain
schemas and the parsing/serialization side for the new construct
QEmu support will add the following on the qemu command line:
-chardev pipe,id=channel0,path=/tmp/guestfwd
-net user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.1:4600-chardev:channel0
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add argument output for channel
* tests/qemuxml2(argv|xml)test.c: Add test for <channel> domain syntax
- Don't duplicate SystemError
- Use proper error code in domain_conf
- Fix a broken error call in qemu_conf
- Don't use VIR_ERR_ERROR in security driver (isn't a valid code in this case)
Nearly all of the methods in src/util/util.h have error codes that
must be checked by the caller to correct detect & report failure.
Add ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK to ensure compile time validation of
this
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Add explicit check on return value of virAsprintf
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr return
value status & report error
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Add missing OOM check on virAsprintf
and report error
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr return
value status & report error
* src/security/security_selinux.c: Remove call to virRandomInitialize
that's done in libvirt.c already
* src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c: Add check & log on virRun
return status
* src/util/util.c: Add missing checks on virAsprintf/Run status
* src/util/util.h: Annotate all methods with ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
if they return an error status code
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: Add missing check on virParseMacAddr
* src/xen/xm_internal.c: Add missing checks on virAsprintf
* tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c: Remove bogus call to virRandomInitialize()
This patch adds an optional attribute to the <bootp> tag, that
allows to specify a TFTP server address other than the address of
the DHCP server itself.
This can be used to forward the BOOTP settings of the host down to the
guest. This is something that configurations such as Xen's default
network achieve naturally, but must be done manually for NAT.
* docs/formatnetwork.html.in: Document new attribute.
* docs/schemas/network.rng: Add it to schema.
* src/conf/network_conf.h: Add it to struct.
* src/conf/network_conf.c: Add it to parser and pretty printer.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Put it in the dnsmasq command line.
* tests/networkxml2xmlin/netboot-proxy-network.xml
tests/networkxml2xmlout/netboot-proxy-network.xml
tests/networkxml2xmltest.c: add new tests
Provide a simple interface for other tests to lookup the testDebug variable.
Also remove a redundant error message in interface tests.
If anyone feels inclined to change this env variable to match the existing
LIBVIRT_* format, it should now be easier to do so.
If one has e.g.
<guest>
<os_type>hvm</os_type>
<arch name='x86_64'>
<wordsize>64</wordsize>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
<machine>pc-0.11</machine>
<machine canonical='pc-0.11'>pc</machine>
<machine>pc-0.10</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
<domain type='qemu'>
</domain>
<domain type='kvm'>
<emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
<machine>pc</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
</domain>
</arch>
</guest>
and start a guest with:
<domain type='kvm'>
...
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>
...
</os>
</domain>
then the default machine type should be 'pc' and not 'pc-0.11'
Issue was reported by Anton Protopopov.
* src/capabilities.[ch]: pass the domain type to
virCapabilitiesDefaultGuestArch() and use it to look up the default
machine type from a specific guest domain if needed.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/xen/xm_internal.c: update
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-machine-aliases2.xml: update
the domain type to 'kvm' and remove the machine type to check
that the default gets looked up correctly
* configure.in: look for AppArmor and devel
* src/security/security_apparmor.[ch] src/security/security_driver.c
src/Makefile.am: add and plug the new driver
* src/security/virt-aa-helper.c: new binary which is used exclusively by
the AppArmor security driver to manipulate AppArmor.
* po/POTFILES.in: registers the new files
* tests/Makefile.am tests/secaatest.c tests/virt-aa-helper-test:
tests for virt-aa-helper and the security driver, secaatest.c is
identical to seclabeltest.c except it initializes the 'apparmor'
driver instead of 'selinux'
