This patch adds two new parameters to the vol-create-as command:
--backing-vol <volume-name-or-key-or-path>
--backing-vol-format <format-of-backing-vol>
virsh # vol-create-as guest_images_lvm snapvol1 5G --backing-vol \
rhel6vm1lun1
Vol snapvol1 created
virsh # vol-create-as image_dir qcow2snap2 5G --format qcow2 \
--backing-vol imagevol1.qcow2 \
--backing-vol-format qcow2
Vol qcow2snap2 created
Additionally, the virsh man page update fixes incorrect snapshot
parameters that were included in my prior bulk volume command patch.
This patch adds a new "vol-pool" command to virsh, to round out the
identifier conversion functions for volumes in virsh. Now it is
possible to work with volumes when starting from just a volume key
or volume path.
When creating pools from dedicated disks, the existing pool-define-as
and pool-create-as commands are a bit non-optimal.
Ideally, a person would be able to specify all of the required options
directly on the command line instead of having to edit the XML.
At the moment, there is no way to specify the format type (ie gpt) so it
gets included in the XML the pool is constructed with.
Please find attached a simple (tested) patch to add an optional
"--source-format 'type'" to virsh. This is patched against current git
master and will apply cleanly.
Also created a Red Hat BZ ticket for this (#597790) for tracking.
This is just a trivial patch to virsh.pod (from git master). It adds the
following pieces to the virsh man page:
+ Shows the --inactive and --all optional parameters for the list
command.
Closes Bugzilla #575512, reported by Renich Bon Ciric
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575512
+ Corrects the existing description of the list command, to now say
that only running domains are listed if no domains are specified.
The man page up until this point has said all domains are listed if
no domains are specified, which is incorrect.
+ Adds the "shut off" state to the list of states for the list
command.
+ Adds a missing =back around line 755, that pod2man was complaining
was missing.
Matthias noted that the line:
virt_aa_helper_LDFLAGS = $(WARN_CFLAGS)
looks inconsistent, so I did an audit.
Currently, the set of compiler warning flags passed to gcc as $CC are
equally permitted as the set of linker flags passed to gcc as $LD, so
there was no problem with that usage. But if we ever get in a
situation where $CC and $LD treat particular flags differently, using
the right variable form will make it easier.
In the process, I spotted a couple of typos that were omitting useful
flags, as well as specifying a -l under the wrong variable.
* acinclude.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Define WARN_LDFLAGS as
an alias for WARN_CFLAGS.
* tools/Makefile.am (virsh_LDFLAGS): Use more canonical spelling.
* proxy/Makefile.am (libvirt_proxy_LDFLAGS): Likewise. Move

correct spelling of COVERAGE_LDFLAGS.
Reported by Matthias Bolte.
For example, virsh -c test:///default schedinfo 1 --set P=k would
mistakenly exit successfully, giving no indication that it had failed
to set the scheduling parameter "P".
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSchedinfo): Diagnose an invalid --set j=k option,
rather than silently ignoring it.
* tests/virsh-schedinfo: New test for the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (test_scripts): Add it.

Support for live migration between hosts that do not share storage was
added to qemu-kvm release 0.12.1.
It supports two flags:
-b migration without shared storage with full disk copy
-i migration without shared storage with incremental copy (same base image
shared between source and destination).
I tested the live migration without shared storage (both flags) for native
and p2p with and without tunnelling. I also verified that the fix doesn't
affect normal migration with shared storage.
WIN32 is always defined when __MINGW32__ is defined, but the
converse is not true. WIN32 is more generic, if someone were
to ever attempt porting to a microsoft compiler. This does
not affect Cygwin, which intentionally does not define WIN32.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetBlockInfo): Use more
generic flag macro.

This applies a fix to thos functions similar to that made to cmdEdit
in 270895063d, thus fnixing a memory
leak - if tmp is unlinked and NULLed early in the function, the memory
used by tmp is never freed. Since we will always unlink tmp prior to
freeing its memory at the end of the function, just remove the earlier
code and let cleanup: do the cleanup.
Ubuntu's gntls package generates an Issuer line that looks like this:
Issuer: C=US,ST=NY,L=Rochester,O=example.com,CN=example.com CA,EMAIL=hostmaster@example.com
While Red Hat's looks like this
Issuer: CN=Red Hat Emerging Technologies
Note the leading whitespace, and the additional fields in the former.
This patch updates the regular expression to:
* trim leading characters before "Issuer:"
* trim anything between Issuer: and CN=
* trim anything after the next ,
I've tested this against the certool output of both RH and Ubuntu
generated certs.

When running virsh edit, we are unlinking and setting
the tmp variable to NULL before going to the end of the

2) fix a bashism, == should be = in the case where /bin/sh is a symlink

Unfortunately after the 0.8.0 release, but here's a beginning of the

The network filter / snapshot / hooks code introduced some

(storage pool commands): New section.
When hitting failures in virsh, a common idiom is
to jump to a cleanup label, free some resources, and
then return a FALSE error code to vshCommandRun.
In theory, vshCommandRun is then supposed to print
out the last error. The problem is that many of
the cleanup paths have library calls to free resources,
and all of those library calls clear out the last error.
This is leading to situations where no error is being
reported at all.
This patch remedies the situation somewhat by
printing out the errors inside the command methods
themselves when we know it will go through a cleanup
path that will lose the error.

A lot of syntax check rules have to be rewritten, but the

Call me lazy: some shells use exit (e.g. sh), others use quit (e.g. ftp),
but I never remember which. So it's faster to write a patch to make
virsh take both than it is to take a 50-50 guess, and get it wrong
in half of my attempts.
* tools/virsh.c (commands): Add 'exit'.
* tools/virsh.pod: Document it.
Common Unix practice is to prefer VISUAL over EDITOR, particularly if
the editor of choice spawns a new window. Thus, it is also common to
see settings like EDITOR='emacs -nw', with the expectation that the
shell will parse this as an argument to 'emacs' and not try to invoke
a file containing a space.
If a user puts junk in EDITOR, they deserve what they get (much more
than virsh will misbehave); furthermore, sudo scrubs EDITOR by
default. So the blind use of metacharacters in EDITOR should not be
considered too much of a security issue.
* tools/virsh.c (editFile): Prefer VISUAL over EDITOR. Don't
reject shell metacharacters in EDITOR.
* tools/virsh.pod (edit, net-edit, ENVIRONMENT): Document VISUAL.

This flag is used in migration prepare step to send updated XML
definition of a guest.
Also ``virsh dumpxml --update-cpu [--inactive] guest'' command can be
used to see the updated CPU requirements.
Support the new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags API in virsh by adding
a new 'update-device' command. In the future this should be augmented
with an explicit 'change-disk' command for media change to make it
end user discoverable, as attach-disk is.
* tools/virsh.c: Add 'update-device' command
If you ran virsh in interactive mode and ran a command
that virsh could not parse, it would then SEGV
on subsequent commands. The problem is that we are
freeing the vshCmd structure in the syntaxError label
at the end of vshCommandParse, but forgetting to
set ctl->cmd to NULL. This means that on the next command,
we would try to free the same structure again, leading
to badness.
* tools/virsh.c: Make sure to set ctl->cmd to NULL after
freeing it in vshCommandParse()
No functional change. These all generated compiler warnings which, for
some reason weren't converted to errors by
--enable-compiler-warnings=error.
* tools/virsh.c:
- change return type from int to void on two functions that don't
return a value.
- remove unused variables/labels from two functions
- eliminate non-literal format strings
- typecast char* into xmlChar* when calling
- xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory
When the daemon libvirtd restarts, a connected virsh gets a SIGPIPE
and dies. This change the behaviour to try to reconnect if the
signal was received or command error indicated a connection or RPC
failure. Note that the failing command is not restarted.
* tools/virsh.c: catch SIGPIPE signals as well as connection related
failures, add some automatic reconnection code and appropriate error
messages.
With N_() in place, we can use it for a smaller file.
* doc/api-extension/0008-Step-8-of-8-Add-virsh-support.patch:
Replace all uses of gettext_noop with N_.
* tools/virsh.c: Likewise, throughout the file.
It is a bad idea to call gettext on an already-translated
string. In cases where a string must be translated separately
from where it is exposed to xgettext, the gettext manual
recommends the idiom of N_() wrapping gettext_noop for
marking the string.
* src/internal.h (N_): Fix definition to match gettext manual.
* tools/virsh.c: (cmdHelp, cmdList, cmdDomstate, cmdDominfo)
(cmdVcpuinfo, vshUsage): Replace incorrect use of N_ with _.
(vshCmddefHelp): Likewise. Mark C format strings appropriately.
This supports cancellation of jobs for the QEMU driver against
the virDomainMigrate, virDomainSave and virDomainCoreDump APIs.
It is not yet supported for the virDomainRestore API, although
it is desirable.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Issue 'migrate_cancel' command if
virDomainAbortJob is issued during a migration operation
* tools/virsh.c: Add a domjobabort command
Introduce support for virDomainGetJobInfo in the QEMU driver. This
allows for monitoring of any API that uses the 'info migrate' monitor
command. ie virDomainMigrate, virDomainSave and virDomainCoreDump
Unfortunately QEMU does not provide a way to monitor incoming migration
so we can't wire up virDomainRestore yet.
The virsh tool gets a new command 'domjobinfo' to query status
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Record virDomainJobInfo and start time
in qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr objects. Add generic shared handler
for calling 'info migrate' with all migration based APIs.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: Fix parsing of 'info migration' reply
* tools/virsh.c: add new 'domjobinfo' command to query progress
* tools/virsh.c (cmdPoolDiscoverSources): Always initialize srcSpec.
Otherwise, clang would report that srcSpec could be used uninitialized
in the call to virConnectFindStoragePoolSources.
Only API calls trigger the error callback, which is required for
proper virsh error reporting. Since we use non API functions from
util/, make sure we properly report these errors.
Fixes lack of error message from 'virsh create idontexit.xml'
There is no real leak here, but Coverity-Prevent thinks there is.
It does not see that while there are four ways to return from
vshCommandGetToken with VSH_TK_END, none of them results in allocation
of a result.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCommandParse): Add a (currently) useless VIR_FREE,
to ensure that we never leak when vshCommandGetToken returns VSH_TK_END.
Change all virsh commands that invoke virDomain{Attach,Detach}Device()
to use virDomain{Attach,Detach}DeviceFlags() instead.
Add a "--persistent" flag to these virsh commands, allowing user to
specify that the domain persisted config be modified as well.
V2: Only invoke virDomain{Attach,Detach}DeviceFlags() if
"--persistent" flag is specified. Otherwise invoke
virDomain{Attach,Detach}Device() to retain current behavior.

As Paul Jenner pointed out all other statistics commands use the
singular form
* tools/virsh.c: rename dommemstats to dommemstat as well as function
name and associated structures
Define a new command 'dommemstats' to report domain memory statistics. The
output format is inspired by 'domblkstat' and 'domifstat' and consists of
tag/value pairs, one per line. The command can complete successfully and
print no output if virDomainMemoryStats is supported by the driver, but not
the guest operating system.
Sample output:
swap_in 0
swap_out 0
major_fault 54
minor_fault 58259
unused 487680
available 502472
All stats referring to a quantity of memory (eg. all above except major and
minor faults) represent the quantity in KBytes.
* tools/virsh.c: implements the new command
* tools/virsh.c (vshCommandParse): Avoid double-free of "tkdata".
Set it to NULL immediately after free in the (cmd == NULL) case,
just as in the other case, in case the final free(tkdata) is
triggered by a syntax error.
This patch fixes the problem reported in:

The bug reporter says that vol-delete does not support the --pool

allowing the syntax: virsh vol-path --pool testdirpool testvol0
This is trivial for QEMU since you just have to not stop the vm before
starting the dump. And for Xen, you just pass the flag down to xend.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): Add VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --live. (cmdDump): Map it to VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
This patch adds the --crash option (already present in "xm dump-core")
to "virsh dump". virDomainCoreDump already has a flags argument, so
the API/ABI is untouched.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): New flag for
CoreDump
* src/test/test_driver.c (testDomainCoreDump): Do not crash
after dump unless VIR_DUMP_CRASH is given.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Shutdown the domain
instead of restarting it if --crash is passed.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support --crash.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --crash.
(cmdDump): Map it to flags for virDomainCoreDump and pass them.
This adds a new flag, VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED, that mandates pausing

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainMigrateFlags): Add VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Handle VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_migrate): Add --suspend. (cmdMigrate): Handle it.
* tools/virsh.pod (migrate): Document it.
Replace free(virBufferContentAndReset()) with virBufferFreeAndReset().
Update documentation and replace all remaining calls to free() with

and virReportOOMError() in OOM error cases.
* tools/virsh.pod: the man page was stating that most operations
are asynchronous while in fact most of them are synchronous except
domain shutdown, setvcpus and setmem.
The 'virsh console' command did not check if the domain was
already running before attempting to fetch the XML and extract
the console PTY path. This caused a slightly unhelpful / misleading
error message for the user. The explicit check ensures the user
gets an explicit 'domain is not running' message.
* tools/virsh.c: Validate that state != VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF in
virsh console command
All drivers have copy + pasted inadequate error reporting which wraps
util.c:virGetHostname. Move all error reporting to this function, and improve
what we report.
Changes from v1:
Drop the driver wrappers around virGetHostname. This means we still need
to keep the new conn argument to virGetHostname, but I think it's worth
it.
This patch adds the flag VIR_INTERFACE_XML_INACTIVE to
virInterfaceGetXMLDesc's flags. When it is*not* set (the default), the
live interface info will be returned in the XML (in particular, the IP
address(es) and netmask(s) will be retrieved by querying the interface
directly, rather than reporting what's in the config file). The
backend of this is in netcf's ncf_if_xml_state() function.
* configure.in libvirt.spec.in: requires netcf >= 0.1.3
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: adds flag VIR_INTERFACE_XML_INACTIVE
* src/conf/interface_conf.c src/interface/netcf_driver.c src/libvirt.c:
update the parsing and backend routines accordingly
* tools/virsh.c: change interface edit to inactive definition and
adds the inactive flag for interface dump
Normally, when you migrate a domain from host A to host B,
the domain on host A remains defined but shutoff and the domain
on host B remains running but is a "transient". Add a new

allow the new domain to be persisted on the destination host B.

Introduces several new public API options for migration
- VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER: With this flag the client only
invokes the virDomainMigratePerform method, expecting
the source host driver to do whatever is required to
complete the entire migration process.
- VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED: With this flag the actual data
for migration will be tunnelled over the libvirtd RPC
channel. This requires that VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER is
also set.
- virDomainMigrateToURI: This is variant of the existing
virDomainMigrate method which does not require any
virConnectPtr for the destination host. Given suitable
driver support, this allows for all the same modes as
virDomainMigrate()
The URI for VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER must be a valid libvirt
URI. For non-p2p migration a hypervisor specific migration
URI is used.
virDomainMigrateToURI without a PEER2PEER flag is only
support for Xen currently, and it involves XenD talking
directly to XenD, no libvirtd involved at all.
