Navarro jesus.nava...@andago.com Subject: [convirt-users] Unable to migrate guests from failing hosts To: xenman-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Saturday, June 5, 2010, 5:45 AM Hi, list: I'm in the process of evaluating convirt (2.0 plus patch bundle 1) and, while for the most part it looks very promising there are some nuisances. My environment is based on Xen over Debian Lenny virtualization servers (Dom0) and (mainly) Debian Lenny paravirtualizated guests (DomU) on cLVM for shared storage. We have n+1 Dom0's so in case of malfunction, maintenance stop, etc. we can always start the guests from the offending server on the spare one. Now: if I simulate malfunction of one of our Dom0's (pull the cord) and I try to move away by hand all its guests to our spare server the operation rises an error: (113, No route to host) so not only I lose the virt server and all its guests but there's no way to recover (except for direct mangling of the underlying database, I suppouse). Is this a known bug? Is it expected for this behaviour to change in future releases? A related issue is that once the Dom0 is recovered its depending guests won't autostart (of course, for this to work properly the starting server should conciliate which guests it's expected to turn on in order to avoid turning on the same guest on two servers at the time).

Re: [convirt-users] guests lacking info after config file import

Navarro jesus.nava...@andago.com Subject: [convirt-users] guests lacking info after config file import To: xenman-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Saturday, June 5, 2010, 7:16 AM Hi list: I'm using convirt 2.0 + patch bundle 1 on a test environment: Debian Lenny with Xen for virtualization servers; paravirtualized guests and cLVM for shared storage. Since I already have production virtualization environment I started my tests importing the config files for some of our (at the moment unused) virtual guests. Import procedure went OK (more or less: there were some minor problems with regards of managing white spaces and/or multiline definitions, but nothing non-obvious). Once the definition imported, the info page for the virtual machine will show no info neither for Guest OS (which I quite of understand) nor for Virtual CPUs (I don't understand this one since it's right there, on the config). On the other hand, it seems non posible to properly integrate the imported config within standard convirt management tools: the edit settings option does nothing, so you are stuck with managing the guest by means of the Edit Virtual Machine Config File, both suboptimal and misleading since the option *won't* edit the config file but the imported version within the convirt database. By the way, while understandable, the import config file and manage it from the database from then on seems a bit like burning your ships. Being that convirt is basically a stateless management tool (which I honour as being one of its strong points -while a bit more on the conciliation side between known state and reality would be quite worthy) it would be very interesting some kind of export button or script that would produce valid config files for the guests in case the user wants or needs to get free from the tool (i.e.: because a show-stopping bug, at least while the bug is resolved). Please pay attention that all this virtualization trend (which is here not to go away), specially with regards of their management tools, means putting all your eggs in the same basket. As an example, I manage a not even big environment with 10 virtualization servers and about 200 virtual guests: a glitch on our management tools would literally mean taking the whole company to its knees (see, for instance my previous post about not being able to move away guests from failing servers) so sounded ingeneering principles and clear and safe escape lanes are paramount for our tool of choice (or else get along with our current heavy-on-management but strongly decoupled and easy to fail-proof tools and procedures).

It really looks very nice and my first few steps got me really impressed. I'm using mainly Debian Lenny currently as a Xen dom0 and for domU. In order to get Convirt 2.0 installed on debian, the main thing I had to do was to patch a few line the common/Debian_functions file (patch attached). One more thing : on the page http://www.convirture.com/wiki/index.php?title=C2_ubuntu_installation, when you give instruction to install wget, you should add sudo (it is not installed by default on debian installation) apt-get install wget sudo On the Xen dom0 side, one should create the following directory (or make a symlink to the directory where conf file are stored) in order to avoid warning when importing config file. /var/cache/convirt/vm_configs Moreover on an existing debian dom0, it is quite dangerous to use the bridge setup tool because it does not go the lenny way. On lenny when xen scripts create bridge, it remaps eth0 on peth0 and call the bridge eth0. When running setup script it wreaks havok the existing bridge and all the network configuration. Hopefully the --skip_setup_bridge is here to help (it should highlighted!). Cheers and keep on the good work !

Re: [convirt-users] Running Convirture in Virtual CentOS Linux installed under Parallels
Hi Sanjay You need to get the Xen client libraries installed. Unfortunately the xen client does not seem to be factored nicely on CentOS and pulls the whole kernel. But you do not need to boot it in to Xen kernel to use ConVirt. So, let it install the required packages, but so long as you do not boot in to Xen kernel, you should be fine under your Parrallel environment. Hope this clarifies it. /Jd --- On Tue, 7/28/09, Sanjay Arora sanjay.k.ar...@gmail.com wrote: From: Sanjay Arora sanjay.k.ar...@gmail.com Subject: [convirt-users] Running Convirture in Virtual CentOS Linux installed under Parallels To: xenman-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2009, 1:43 PM XEN newbie. Looking for a GUI Tool to manage my office XEN install (proposed) from any GUI tool to be installed in CentOS v. 5.x running under Parallels v. 4, on my Macbook. I evaluated Convirture though it suitable as it is able to manage remote servers. However when I tried to install it using yum, I found that it tries to install Xen kernel on the machine running it. In my case this is a Virtual Linux Server running under Parallels. So I thought it is like running a hypervisor inside hypervisor and would not work as each would want direct hardware access. Am I correct? Or can I run convirture without Xen kernel, as I need to manage Xen only on remote machines, not on the local machine running Convirture? If so, is such a rpm version available? And if I cant run convirture within virtualized Linux, can someone please suggest any alternative? With best regards.

Re: [convirt-users] translation of convirt in French
Hey Sorry for replying late... this one some how managed to get in to my spam folder. This is certainly very useful to the community. Thanks for taking the initiative. Would you mind submitting a patch on top of 1.1 that we can include? Also, it would be great if you could share some details about the process for the translation which others can pick up and provide translation for other languages. As a normal part of the process, please visit the Developer Resources page (http://www.convirture.com/wiki/index.php?title=Get_Involved) and send in a signed copy of the CLA along with the patch. Btw, it would be interesting to know bit more about your environment and virtualization usage.

I think it could be interesting for others to use French or to easily set up translation in other languages. There are just a few lines to changes in order to initialize glade internationalization. So for most of the gui, i18n is fairly easy. For strings in the code itself, there should be more work to be done (some gettext here and there).

That is fair enough; I thought, afterwards, that that might be the case. Since I will likely be connecting to it remotely anyway to do the management, then that should not necessarily be an issue. I did not get a chance to test the re-install from my Kubuntu laptop, but the fact that after the re-install on the local CentOS machine I was able to at least create a localhost server (whereas before I could not) is a good indication. I will test this when I get back to the office in the morning. (Yes, I was still getting the Unknown type (null) error whenever I tried to click on any of the objects) You should use 3.0 version of the script if it is vanilla CentOS 5.1. OK, noted. I ran the xen-3.1 stuff; if I run the xen-3.0, will it replace the changes it made? I think it made a backup of the xend-config.sxp file in '/etc/xen', so I probably just need to put that back in place and re-run the xend-config.sh script for xen-3.0? But it seems you have installed xen 3.2 is that correct ? Not anymore. I re-installed the system and am using the CentOS 5.1 provided packages. Please pass on the following info -- xm info -- xend-config.sxp file. -- netstat -an | grep LISTEN -- check that firewalls are turned off (for testing) I will pass that along when I get in to the office int he AM. If this can help make the client run better on CentOS 5.1, then I am glad to help, and be your guinea pig :-) -- For running ConVirt on 5.1 I think you are running in to pygtk problem.
