Commit 0a22f54 added --min-guarantee option for the memtune command.
This option is supported only by the ESX hypervisor. This patch adds a
statement about this fact, to prevent user confusion.
This patch also adds explanation how to clear/set to unlimited the
memory tunables. (documments the -1 value).
Virsh man page lists driver types to be used with attach-device
command, but does not specify that those are usable only with the XEN
Hypervisor.
This patch adds statement, that those options specified are applicable
only on the Xen hypervisor and adds option usable with qemu emulator.
This patch also changes type of error returned by QEMU driver if the
user specifies incompatible driver type from VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR to
VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED.
Users of virsh complain that output of the domblkstat command
is not intuitive enough. This patch adds explanation of fields
returned by this command to the help section for domblkstat and
the man page of virsh. Also a switch --human is added for
domblkstat that prints the fields with more descriptive
texts.
This patch also changes sequence of the output fields and their
names back to the order and spelling established by previous
versions of virsh to maintain compatibility with scripts.
Example of ordered and "translated" output:
PRE-patch:
virsh # domblkstat 1 vda

vda wr_operations 511
vda rd_bytes 82815488

With this patch, it is hopefully a bit more obvious that for
snapshot-create-as, a literal '--diskspec' is mandatory if name
or description was omitted, but optional if all earlier options
were provided.
These all denote two diskspecs and a description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb name desc
This gives two diskspecs but no description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
And this treats 'vda' as the description, with only one diskspec:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name vda vdb
The help output now shows:
snapshot-create-as <domain> [<name>] [<description>] [--print-xml] [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only] [[--diskspec] <string>]...
I also checked the help output for echo and send-key, which are two
other variants of argv commands.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document when a literal
--diskspec must preceed a diskspec argument.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefHelp): Update help output for argv when
naming the option is useful.
(vshCmddefGetData): Fix logic on when argv was seen.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Add tests to avoid regressions.
Two new commands are added to virsh that wrap usage of
virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags for changing link state of domain's network
interfaces. These wrappers extract network devices's xml configuration
and modify the link state for easy manipulation from an user's perspective.
- domif-setlink - set link state of a domains virtual network interface
- domif-getlink - get link state
* tools/virsh.c - Add functionality to virsh
* tools/virsh.pod - Manpage documentation
Expose the disk-only flag through virsh. Additionally, make
virsh snapshot-create-as take an arbitrary number of diskspecs,
which can be used to build up the xml for <domainsnapshot>.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotCreate): Add --disk-only.
(cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Likewise, and add argv diskspec.
(vshParseSnapshotDiskspec): New helper function.
(vshCmddefGetOption): Allow naming of argv field.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create, snapshot-create-as): Document
them.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Test snapshot-create-as parsing.
This adds a convenience function to virsh that parses out block
information from the domain xml, making it much easier to see
what strings can be used in all other contexts that demand a
specific block name, especially when given the previous patch
that allows using either target or unique source name.
As an example on a domain with one disk and an empty cdrom drive:
Target Source
-------------------------------------------
vda /var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora_12.img
hdc -
* tools/virsh.c (cmdDomblklist): New function.
* tools/virsh.pod (domblklist): Document it.
I got confused when 'virsh domblkinfo dom disk' required the
path to a disk (which can be ambiguous, since a single file
can back multiple disks), rather than the unambiguous target
device name that I was using in disk snapshots. So, in true
developer fashion, I went for the best of both worlds - all
interfaces that operate on a disk (aka block) now accept
either the target name or the unambiguous path to the backing
file used by the disk.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainDiskIndexByName): Add
parameter.
(virDomainDiskPathByName): New prototype.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (domain_conf.h): Export it.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDiskIndexByName): Also allow
searching by path, and decide whether ambiguity is okay.
(virDomainDiskPathByName): New function.
(virDomainDiskRemoveByName, virDomainSnapshotAlignDisks): Update
callers.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainBlockPeek)
(qemuDomainAttachDeviceConfig, qemuDomainUpdateDeviceConfig)
(qemuDomainGetBlockInfo, qemuDiskPathToAlias): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessFindDomainDiskByPath):
Likewise.
* src/libxl/libxl_driver.c (libxlDomainAttachDeviceDiskLive)
(libxlDomainDetachDeviceDiskLive, libxlDomainAttachDeviceConfig)
(libxlDomainUpdateDeviceConfig): Likewise.
* src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlDomainBlockPeek): Likewise.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainBlockPeek): Likewise.
* docs/formatsnapshot.html.in: Update documentation.
* tools/virsh.pod (domblkstat, domblkinfo): Likewise.
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (diskTarget): Tighten pattern on
disk targets.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng (disksnapshot): Update to match.
* tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlin/disk_snapshot.xml: Update test.
Easy enough to emulate even with older servers.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotCreate, cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Add
--halt flag.
(vshSnapshotCreate): Emulate halt when flag is unsupported.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create, snapshot-create-as): Document
it.
It would technically be possible to have virsh compute the list
of descendants of a given snapshot, then delete those one at
a time. But it's complex, and not worth writing for a first
cut at implementing the new flags.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotDelete): Add --children-only,
--metadata.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-delete): Document them.
Similar to 'undefine --managed-save' (commit 83e849c1), we must
assume that the old API is unsafe; however, we cannot emulate
metadata-only deletion on older servers. Additionally, we have
the wrinkle that while virDomainUndefineFlags and managed save
cleanup were introduced in 0.9.4, it wasn't until 0.9.5 that
snapshots block undefine of a domain. Do the best we can given
the server we are talking to.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdUndefine): Add --snapshots-metadata flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (undefine, destroy, shutdown): Document effect
of snapshots.
Wire up the new snapshot creation flags in virsh. For convenience,
teach 'snapshot-current' how to make an existing snapshot become
current (can be used after upgrading to newer libvirt to recover
from the fact that the older libvirt lost track of the current
snapshot after a restart). The snapshot-create-as command is
intentionally not taught --redefine or --current, as this would
imply adding a lot of other options for everything else that can
appear in the <domainsnapshot> xml, but which is normally read-only.
Besides, redefining will usually be done on files created by
snapshot-dumpxml, rather than something built up by hand on the
command line. And now that we can redefine, we can edit.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotCreate): Add --redefine, --current,
and --no-metadata.
(cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Add --no-metadata.
(cmdSnapshotCurrent): Add snapshotname to alter current snapshot.
(cmdSnapshotEdit): New command.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create, snapshot-create-as)
(snapshot-current, snapshot-edit): Document these.
New flag bits are worth exposing via virsh. In the case of
snapshot-list --roots, it's possible to emulate this even when
talking to an older server that lacks the bit; whereas
--metadata requires a newer server.
Although we don't use --security-info yet, the flag is already
documented for other dumpxml operations, and turning it on now
will make it useful when a future patch actually has to honor it.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotDumpXML, cmdSnapshotCurrent): Add
--security-info.
(cmdSnapshotList): Add --roots, --metadata.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-dumpxml, snapshot-current)
(snapshot-list): Document these.
Even though I recently added 'virsh snapshot-parent', doing it one
snapshot at a time is painful, so make it possible to expand the
snapshot-list table at once.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotList): Add --parent.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Document it.
Pretty straight-forward exposure of new flags. For most commands,
we let the API reject mutually exclusive flags; but for save-image-edit,
we do the sanity check ourselves to avoid looping on flag failure if
the edit cycle is ever enhanced to allow the user to retry an edit
to fix up an xml validation error.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdManagedSave, cmdRestore, cmdSave)
(cmdSaveImageDefine, cmdSaveImageEdit): Add new flags.
* tools/virsh.pod (managedsave, restore, save, save-image-define)
(save-image-edit): Document them.
Newer QEMU introduced cache=directsync for -drive, this patchset
is to expose it in libvirt layer.
* Introduced a new QEMU capability flag ($prefix_CACHE_DIRECTSYNC),
As even $prefix_CACHE_V2 is set, we can't known if directsync
is supported.
The 'virsh man' description of send-key was incomplete and used the
old style (literal 'optional name' instead of '[name]' metasyntax).
Meanwhile, none of the other virsh help texts include examples, so
I moved it out of virsh help and into the man page.
* tools/virsh.pod (send-key): Give better details.
* tools/virsh.c (info_send_key): Drop example from here.
There have been several instances of people having problems with
a broken managed save file, and not aware that they could use
'virsh managedsave-remove dom' to fix things. Making it possible
to do this as part of starting a domain makes the same functionality
easier to find, and one less API call.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_START_FORCE_BOOT): New
flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainCreateWithFlags): Document it.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainObjStart): Alter signature.
(qemuAutostartDomain, qemuDomainStartWithFlags): Update callers.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdStart): Expose it in virsh.
* tools/virsh.pod (start): Document it.

Knowing whether 'virsh start' will resume a saved image or do
a fresh boot is useful enough to expose via 'virsh list'.
Also, translate the state column.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdList): add --managed-save flag
* tools/virsh.pod (list): Document it.
Based on a suggestion by Miklos Vajna.
Call me lazy, but:

virsh qemu-monitor-command dom --hmp 'info status'
* tools/virsh.c (cmdQemuMonitorCommand): Allow multiple arguments,
for convenience.
Down the road, I want to add virDomainSnapshotGetParent, and use
the new API rather than xml scraping; but this virsh command can
be implemented even without the new API.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotParent): New command.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-parent): Document it.
Sometimes, full XML is too much; since most snapshot commands
operate on a snapshot name, there should be an easy way to get
at the current snapshot's name. For example:
virsh snapshot-revert dom `virsh snapshot-current dom --name`
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotCurrent): Add an option.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-current): Document it.
The description of the list command seemed to suggest that it could
take a set of domains as an argument, which is not correct in the
current HEAD. If virsh list is intended to take a list of domains,
then this patch should be NAK'd and a bug opened against virsh list.
Reported by hachi on #virt
v2:
Change language to include transient domains
Osier pointed out that transient domains are not defined, so what I
had originally proposed wasn't quite correct.
Rename the existing --current flag to the new name --active,
while adding a new flag --current to expose the new
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT flag of virDomainGetVcpusFlags.
For backwards compability, the output does not change (even
though the label "current" no longer matches the spelling of
the option that would trigger that number in isolation), and
we accept "--current --live" as an undocumented synonym for
"--active --live" to avoid breaking any existing clients.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdVcpucount): Add --active flag, and rearrange
existing flag handling to expose VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT support.
* tools/virsh.pod (vcpucount): Document this.
Now you can edit a saved state file even if you forgot to grab
a dumpxml file prior to saving a domain. Plus, in-place editing
feels so much nicer.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSaveImageDumpxml, cmdSaveImageDefine)
(cmdSaveImageEdit): New commands.
* tools/virsh.pod (save-image-dumpxml, save-image-define)
(save-image-edit): Document them.
Also, migrate was missing documentation for the --xml option
added in commit ec5301cb.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSave, cmdRestore): Add xml argument.
* tools/virsh.pod (save, restore, migrate): Document it.
Wire up the new flag to several virsh commands. Also, the
'dump' command had undocumented flags.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSave, cmdManagedSave, cmdDump, cmdStart)
(cmdRestore): Add new flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (save, managedsave, dump, start, restore):
Document flags.
If the domain has managed save image, and --managed-save is
not specified, then it fails with an error telling the user
that a managed save image still exists.
If the domain has managed save image, and --managed-save is
specified, it invokes virDomainUndefineFlags. If
virDomainUndefineFlags fails, then it tries to remove the managed
save image using virDomainManagedSaveRemove first, with
invoking virDomainUndefine following. (For compatibility between
new virsh with this patch and older libvirt without this patch).
Similarly if the domain has no managed save image. See the codes for
detail.
NOTE: Have not removing the codes checking if the domain is running
in function "cmdUndefine", it will go along with qemu driver's fix
(allow to undefine a running domain).
* tools/virsh.c: new column "Managed save" for "cmdDominfo".
* tools/virsh.pod: Update document of "managedsave" to tell one can
use "dominfo" to query whether a domain has any managed save image.
We can make the virsh migrate UI friendlier by supplying the
missing bit automatically instead of erroring out when requesting
--tunnelled without --p2p.
* tools/virsh.c (doMigrate): Make --p2p optional when using
--tunnelled.
* tools/virsh.pod (migrate): Tweak wording accordingly.
"optional" is not a very good meta-syntactic construct in our man
page. I scrubbed this, and additionally improved some documentation
on mutually exclusive options. For example,
[[--live] [--config] | [--current]]
implies a set of optional flags, where within the set you can have
either --current or a choice of 0, 1, or both --live and --config.
* tools/virsh.pod: Use "[name]" rather than "optional name" for
optional arguments.
This adds four options for virsh command attach-disk.
--cache option allows user to specify cache mode of disk device
from virsh command line when attaching a disk device.
--serial option allows user to specify serial string of disk device
from virsh command line when attaching a disk device.
--shareable option allows user to specify whether the disk device is
shareable between domains when attaching a disk device from virsh
command line.
--address option allows user to specify address of disk device when
attaching a disk device.
This patch adds the --current option to "virsh setvcpus"
command. Currently "virsh setvcpus" command supports
"--live" and "--config" , but "--current" option.
From view of consistency, it's reasonable to support
"--current" option too.
When --current is specified, it affects a "current"
domain.

If an application is using libvirt + KVM as a piece of its
internal infrastructure to perform a specific task, it can
be desirable to guarentee the VM dies when the virConnectPtr
disconnects from libvirtd. This ensures the app can't leak
any VMs it was using. Adding VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL as
a flag when starting guests enables this to be done.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: All VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL

When resetting vcpupin setting, we have to specify all host physical

When using vcpupin command, we have to speficy comma-separated list as cpulist,
but this is tedious in case the number of phsycal cpus is large.
This patch improves this by introducing special markup "-" and "^" which are
similar to XML schema of "cpuset" attribute.
The example:
# virsh vcpupin Guest 0 0-15,^8
is identical to
# virsh vcpupin Guest 0 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

This patch adds the new option (--live, --config and --current) to
"virsh vcpupin" command. The behavior of above aption is the same as
that of "virsh setmem", "virsh setvcpus", and whatnot.
When the --config option is specified, the command affects a persistent
domain, while --live option is specified, it affects a running (live) domain.
The --current option cannot be used with --config or --live at the same
time, and when --current is specified, it affects a "current" domain.
I intentionally set things up so 'virsh help interface' lists
commands in alphabetical order, but 'man virsh' lists them in
topical order; this matches our practice on some other commands.
* tools/virsh.pod: Document all iface commands.
* tools/virsh.c (ifaceCmds): Sort.
The new flags allow to pick current state, config or the live
parameter, with current being the existing API default (0).
This also hooks this to --config, --live, --current parameters for
the memtune virsh command

1) Both "qemuDomainStartWithFlags" and "qemuAutostartDomain" try to
restore the domain from managedsave'ed image if it exists (by
invoking "qemuDomainObjRestore"), but it unlinks the image even
if restoring fails, which causes data loss. (This problem exists
for "virsh managedsave dom; virsh start dom").
The fix for is to unlink the managed state file only if restoring
succeeded.
2) For "virsh save dom; virsh restore dom;", it can cause data
corruption if one reuse the saved state file for restoring. Add
doc to tell user about it.
3) In "qemuDomainObjStart", if "managed_save" is NULL, we shouldn't
fallback to start the domain, skipping it to cleanup as a incidental
fix. Discovered by Eric.

The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.
Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.
The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.
Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.

as well as that of active domains.

Currently users who want to use virDomainQemuMonitorCommand() API or
it's virsh equivalent has to use the same protocol as libvirt uses for
communication to qemu. Since the protocol is QMP with current qemu and
HMP much more usable for humans, one ends up typing something like the
following:
virsh qemu-monitor-command DOM \
'{"execute":"human-monitor-command","arguments":{"command-line":"info kvm"}}'
which is not a very convenient way of debugging qemu.
This patch introduces --hmp option to qemu-monitor-command, which says
that the provided command is in HMP. If libvirt uses QMP to talk with
qemu, the command will automatically be converted into QMP. So the
example above is simplified to just
virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOM "info kvm"
Also the result is converted from
{"return":"kvm support: enabled\r\n"}
to just plain HMP:
kvm support: enabled
If libvirt talks to qemu in HMP, --hmp flag is obviously a noop.
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.
This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.
Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.
Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.
Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.
If the memory of guest OS is changed constantly, the live migration
can not be ended ever for ever.
We can use the command 'virsh migrate-setmaxdowntime' to control the
live migration. But the value of maxdowntime is diffcult to calculate
because it depends on the transfer speed of network and constantly
changing memroy size. We need a easy way to control the live migration.
This patch adds the support of forcing guest to suspend at timeout.
With this patch, when we migrate the guest OS, we can specify a
timeout. If the live migration timeouts, auto-suspend the guest OS,
where the migration will complete offline.
The virt-mem program is no longer shipped, but was still being
referenced at the bottom of the virsh and libvirtd man pages.
