Hi,
Recently We've upgraded some KVM hosts from Fedora 29 to Fedora 30 and
now experience broken VM configurations on filesystem after virsh blockcommit.
Commands "virsh dumpxml ..." and "virsh dumpxml --inactive ..." is showing
diffrent configuration than the one on filesystem.
In case of restart libvirtd or system reboot, there are broken VM xml
configurations on filesystem.
Everything is OK on Fedora 29 KVM hosts!
0. XML configurations before snapshot is taken (all good, nothing found)
[root@server1 ~]# cat /etc/libvirt/qemu/somedomain.com.ncloud.xml| grep BACK
[root@server1 ~]# cat /etc/libvirt/qemu/somedomain.com.ncloud.xml| grep
backingStore
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml somedomain.com.ncloud|grep
BACK
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml somedomain.com.ncloud|grep
backingStore
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml --inactive
somedomain.com.ncloud|grep BACK
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml --inactive
somedomain.com.ncloud|grep backingStore
1. When VM snapshot is taken with (all OK)
/usr/bin/virsh --quiet snapshot-create-as --domain somedomain.com.ncloud ....
there is a change of configuration, active, inactive and filesystem:
- active (virsh dumpxml)
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml somedomain.com.ncloud|grep
BACK
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ncloud.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ncloud-swap.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ncloud-data1.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ncloud-data2.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml somedomain.com.ncloud|grep
backingStore
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
- inactive (virsh dumpxml --inactive)
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml --inactive
somedomain.com.ncloud|grep BACK
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ncloud.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ncloud-swap.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ncloud-data1.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ncloud-data2.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml --inactive
somedomain.com.ncloud|grep backingStore
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
- XML configuration on filesystem has changed
[root@server1 ~]# ls -al /etc/libvirt/qemu/somedomain.com.ncloud.xml
-rw-------. 1 root root 6260 Jun 18 23:00
/etc/libvirt/qemu/somedomain.com.ncloud.xml
[root@server1 ~]# cat /etc/libvirt/qemu/somedomain.com.ncloud.xml |grep BACK
<source

[root@server1 ~]# cat /etc/libvirt/qemu/somedomain.com.ncloud.xml |grep
backingStore
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
<backingStore type='file'>
</backingStore>
2. When VM backup is done, data merged with virsh backcommit ..." and snapshot
deleted (NOT OK!!!)
...
/usr/bin/virsh --quiet blockcommit somedomain.com.ncloud sdd --active --pivot
/usr/bin/virsh --quiet snapshot-delete --domain somedomain.com.ncloud
somedomain.com.ncloud-SNAPSHOT --metadata
there is a following state of VM configurations:
- active (virsh dumpxml),
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml somedomain.com.ncloud|grep
BACK ;;; OK
[root@server1 ~]# /usr/bin/virsh --quiet dumpxml somedomain.com.ncloud|grep
backingStore ;;; why is there empty backingStore left ???
<backingStore/>
<backingStore/>
<backingStore/>
<backingStore/>
- inactive
[root@server1 qemu]# virsh dumpxml --inactive somedomain.com.ncloud |grep BACK
;;; OK
[root@server1 qemu]# virsh dumpxml --inactive somedomain.com.ncloud |grep
backingStore ;;; OK
- XML on filesystem (.xml file on filesystem has not changed/reverted since
snapshot has been taken - NOT OK!!!!, should be cleared of snapshot source file
and backingStore)
[root@server1 ~]# ls -al /etc/libvirt/qemu/somedomain.com.ncloud.xml
-rw-------. 1 root root 6260 Jun 18 23:00
/etc/libvirt/qemu/somedomain.com.ncloud.xml
[root@server1 qemu]# cat somedomain.com.ns2.xml |grep BACK
<source
file='/Virtualization/linux/somedomain.com/somedomain.com.ns2.qcow2-BACKUPING_NOW'/>
[root@server1 qemu]# cat somedomain.com.ns2.xml |grep backingStore
<backingStore type='file' index='1'>
</backingStore>
