[PLUGIN DEPRECATED] VM Manager (2015.02.24)

dmacias · April 6, 2015

Hi dmacias, is there a way to update it manually? I am having trouble with my network setup.

Rgds.

Extract this to your flash drive in /config/plugins. Then install the plg file

I was thinking of another feature that might be useful. I have two VM's that passthrough the same GPU so one is always on and the other is off, until I need to switch them. Typically how I switch them is ssh into unRAID, start a screen session and issue the command,

virsh shutdown windowns8 && sleep 30 && virsh start windows7

. I was planning on just writing a batch script on the windows VM's that did this but I then thought that maybe it would make sense to make this functionality apart of this plugin? You could possibly select the VM's that you want to shutdown and start and click a button... Let me know what you think.

That's definitely possible. Right now you can click on shutdown on each vm sequentially. Once you click shutdown and the page refreshes the first time the shutdown command has been sent. The plugin just loops a page refresh checking if the vm is shutdown each time. You can click shutdown on another vm and the loop would just be tied to the last vm clicked. If I had written this in ajax it wouldn't need the page refresh. If I find time to finish the usb device attach and detach I'll look adding this too.

Awesome! Thanks

I've actually had success hotplugging a GPU to a VM without shutting it down, pausing it, or restarting it. More on this soon ;-)

It seems like all my posts get the "more on this soon" response... the anticipation is going to kill me! The positive is that VM's are sounding more and more robust.

Thx dmacias ... it worked! Now up and running again.

Hi dmacias,

I am having a little problem with the new version of vmmgr. I can create a new standard vm using the "create vm". With standard vm I mean a vm with no passthrough at all. But once I try to create a vm with passthrough it gives me "error".

Also, when I try to create a vm with passthrough using the option "add xml" I also get an error message. I am copying a backup of one of my xml´s that was tested and working for months in 6b10a.

Pls, let me know which info do you need to try to solve this.

This is what I need to passthrough:

  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=01:00.1,bus=pcie.0'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=07:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.1'/>

    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:12.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.2'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:12.2,bus=root.1,addr=00.3'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

I attach the vm created with vmmgr (without passthrough):

Does all the error message say is "error"? Try turning on debugging in settings. Also make sure name and uuid are different.

Only "error" is shown on bottom.

Name and uuid are different.

Debugging on makes no difference.

You could try cloning a working vm by editing the vm copying then pasting into Add XML changing the name and one letter/number of the uuid. Then save it. Check it's working. Then edit it with your qemucommandline arguments. You can just paste those in and save. No need to change the first line of xml. The plugin will do this for you. You can also check the libvirt log in Settings tab for any helpful info.

Hi dmacias, I followed your steps and at least I am getting now an error "description":

Warning: libvirt_domain_create(): internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2015-04-10T12:09:52.231226Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: vfio: error opening /dev/vfio/17: No such file or directory 2015-04-10T12:09:52.231259Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: vfio: failed to get group 17 2015-04-10T12:09:52.231271Z

It seems vfio group 17 which is my GPU is not working properly. My syslinux is correct:

append amd_iommu=on vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 pci-stub.ids=1002:67b1 pci-stub.ids=1002:aac8 pcie_acs_override=downstream initrd=/bzroot

Check vfio:

### Group 17 ###
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: AMD/ATI [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] Device 67b1
    01:00.1 Audio device: AMD/ATI [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] Device aac8

And my log (sorry, but I don´t know how to look for a problem here, maybe you could check it):

I will try again creating a new vm using "create vm". Then check it. If ok, I will add the qemu:commandline. Will report back.

Also,

Once I create a vm, and it is running, I don´t know why but -if I access with putty unraid- the image file of the running vm is not shown after typing ls...

root@Tower2:/mnt/vm/w8# ls
w8d11.qcow2
root@Tower2:/mnt/vm/w8# ls
root@Tower2:/mnt/vm/w8#

Is this normal?

And then I close the vm. But if I try to start it again I get this error:

Warning: libvirt_domain_create(): Cannot access storage file '/mnt/vm/w8/w8d11.qcow2' (as uid:0, gid:100): No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.kvm.manager/classes/libvirt.php on line 838 Warning: libvirt_domain_get_block_info(): cannot stat file '/mnt/vm/w8/w8d11.qcow2': Bad file descriptor in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.kvm.manager/classes/libvirt.php on line 438 Warning: libvirt_domain_get_block_info(): Cannot get domain block information in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.kvm.manager/classes/libvirt.php on line 438 Warning: libvirt_domain_get_block_info(): cannot stat file '/mnt/vm/w8/w8d11.qcow2': Bad file descriptor in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.kvm.manager/classes/libvirt.php on line 438 Warning: libvirt_domain_get_block_info(): Cannot get domain block information in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.kvm.manager/classes/libvirt.php on line 438 Warning: libvirt_domain_get_block_info(): cannot stat file '/mnt/vm/w8/w8d11.qcow2': Bad file descriptor in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.kvm.manager/classes/libvirt.php on line 438 Warning: libvirt_domain_get_block_info(): Cannot get domain block information in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.kvm.manager/classes/libvirt.php on line 438

And the image of the vm is gone!

The image wasn't created. Maybe your out of space. Not sure. You can copy and existing image and paste to a new folder and point Create VM to use an existing image. I haven't done any pass through so I won't be much help with that.

Hi dmacias, I deleted all files in qemu and added the xml with passthrough again (but this time copying the xml file manually to etc/libvirt/qemu/. After checking everything again, I also found another issue. My go file got corrupt...this caused the passthrough error.

Thx for support!

Just an FYI, when the new beta is released with VM Manager built-in, we will unsticky this post and maybe we should lock the thread? Definitely want to avoid confusion for folks out there, but want to be respectful of the 36 pages of replies on this thread! Any suggestions on what we should do with it?

If the sale doesn't go through. Rename it and edit the first post.

I would suggest that the title should be edited to add something like [sUPERCEDED] so it is obvious it is no longer directly relevant.

Does the new VM Manager allow USB hot plugging? I remember dmcias working on that. Very excited about it.

I haven't played with the new version much but does the editor (not the xml editor) update the live xml or saved xml. I hadn't worked on it much more given the fact it was gonna be integrated and changed a lot. I will probably finish it anyway just because. What I had done was a dropbox for each vm with check boxes for each usb device on the main page similar to the mem and cpu drop boxes.

When a VM is updated using the editor, we do a virsh undefine on it then define it again. This is to ensure that if you want to change the name of the VM, you can. For whatever reason, libvirt wasn't allowing us to rename VMs using the update method.

Try this. Just put on your flash drive in packages and then run installpkg /boot/packages/dynamix.vm.manager.txz or you can put in /boot/extra so it will install on server boot. It just overwrites the new plugin with my changes for usb hot plugging. Let me know what you think.

Edit. This is for the b15 vm manager
