Re: [CentOS-virt] Xen 4.4 + libvirt 1.2 rpms test report with xl/libxl on CentOS 6
Hi all, this is great news. So according to http://www.centos.org/minutes/2015/january/centos-devel.2015-01-13-14.06.html this means * Xen 4.4.1 rpms + libvirt 1.2.x (10?) have been in the repo since mid-december, and mostly there are positive things to say about it (sbonazzo, 14:09:3 * ACTION: pasik and any other volunteer to verify Xen 4.4.1 rpms + libvirt 1.2.x + libvirt-libxl (sbonazzo, 14:16:18) * AGREED: people should start move off xend in 4.4 since it's been removed in 4.5 (sbonazzo, 14:20:15) * ACTION: pasik to test xen 4.4 + libxl + libvirt + virt-manager amd report to virt-list (kbsingh, 14:25:39) == We are here == * ACTION: gwd to test the upgrade path from 4.2 to 4.4 ( xen ) and report to virt-list (kbsingh, 14:27:58) * AGREED: on releasing xen 4.4 rpms if able to close off the libivrt / virt-manager issues on email to the list (sbonazzo, 14:32:37) Looks like we are close to release and may be set to do this for FOSDEM.

[CentOS-virt] Xen 4.4 + libvirt 1.2 rpms test report with xl/libxl on CentOS 6
Hello, As discussed on the last Virt SIG meeting I promised to do some libvirt + libxl testing using the latest Xen 4.4 rpms. Versions used: xen-libs-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 xen-licenses-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 xen-hypervisor-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 xen-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 xen-runtime-4.4.1-5.el6.x86_64 kernel-3.10.63-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-xen-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-lxc-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-secret-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-python-1.2.10-2.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-network-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-config-network-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-client-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-interface-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-1.2.10-3.el6.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.600.0-25.el6.centos.alt.noarch First I verified the baseline setup using xm/xend and libvirt: - Install new PV domUs using virt-install, using LVM volumes. - Install new PV domUs using virt-install, using file images (tap2). - Install new PV domUs using virt-manager, using LVM volumes. - Install new PV domUs using virt-manager, using file images (tap2). And all that worked OK with xend, as we already know. tap2 backend was now automatically chosen for file images etc, all good. Next I tried the same with xl/libxl. So I disabled xend with chkconfig xend off, rebooted the server, and after the reboot verified xend is not running anymore. And then I did the same PV domU installation tests as above.. and to my surprise it all worked out-of-the-box ! libvirt 1.2.10 seems to be happy with libxl aswell! Both virt-install and virt-manager worked OK for me for installing new guests, and also for the basic lifecycle operations. One difference compared to our earlier libvirt 0.x rpms is this: # virsh version Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.10 Using library: libvirt 1.2.10 Using API: Xen 1.2.10 Running hypervisor: Xen 4.4.0 Now I get the same output from virsh version for both xm/xend and xl/libxl.. Earlier it would say Xen or xenlight on the Using API line depending which backend it was using. I guess that has changed upstream, and both backends seem to work now anyway :) -- Pasi ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
