[Bug 246175] Re: cpu frequency scaling causes multiple vcpu guests to panic

2010-04-29 Thread Steven Wagner
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 361754 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361754

The error "vcpu not ready for apic_round_robin"  can also occur if a
guest is timing out for other reasons...like not enough RAM allocated. I
have examples of this occuring on a hardy 8.04 LTS system with KVM 84.

[Bug 574665] Re: kvm + virtio disk corrupts large volumes (>1TB).

2010-06-24 Thread Steven Wagner
As mentioned in comment #3, could this be related to a specific SATA
chipset?  I have a Intel 82801JI ICH10 SATA AHCI Controller, and have
experienced random disk corruption on guests. Guests are both Linux and
Win2k3. High usage on the sata controller seemed to be the trigger. Ive
noticed no difference for if the guest is using virtio or ide mode.
Guests will become unresponsive for >10 seconds when there is high disk
usage on the node.

[Bug 683957] Re: guest ata controller becomes unresponsive

2011-03-14 Thread Steven Wagner
It in fact did not fix the problem. The problem was that writeback cache is off 
by default in Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS, but the default was on in Ubuntu Server 
8.04 LTS.  It was a backwards incompatible change that was not documented, and 
it took months of my time to resolve. The solution was to specify,

on all of my guest config files.

[Bug 668042] [NEW] target device info is not in dumpxml

2010-10-28 Thread Steven Wagner
Public bug reported:

Missing target device info makes it impossible to retrieve network usage
information about a guest from libvirt.

Reproduce:
Trigger of issue unknown. 

Workaround:
Restart the guest, and the network device info reappears again.

Detect:
Use virsh with the dumpxml command to view information about a running guest.

Good result:
virsh # dumpxml myhost1
...

  
  
  
  

...

Bad result:
virsh # dumpxml myhost2
...

  
  
  

...

I am attaching an image of my munin graphs to illustrate the effects of
the bug.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

After a clean install, all I get is a blank screen and high cpu for
win2k3 guests. Reproducable, ive tried installing a dozen times with the
same result every time. I also have tried without using viritio for the
hd, but I get the same result. Ive tried tweaking nearly all of the
libvirt settings with no difference. I will attach my xml conf as an

Serge -
Ill jump to the point and tell you that Ive tried without virtio as well, and 
the problem remains that same. Thanks for your continued help on this issue. Im 
blocked on migrating any windows hosts for now.  The only other time ive seen 
something like this was when my server has Cpu frequency scaling turned on 
before..its would cause live hosts to lock and go to 99% cpu usage. But ive 
already made sure cpu frequency scaling is off.

[Bug 683957] [NEW] guest ata controller becomes unresponsive

2010-12-01 Thread Steven Wagner
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

Repeatable. Triggered by high disk use. (when I run an rsync backup from
remote host.) Guest is also crashing during guest fdisk checks at
bootup. In this case, guest thread on server is not showing high cpu
use. This is the only guest this happens on. This guest is unique in
that is it running -cpu qemu32, and its disk bus is IDE as opposed to
virtio.

Serge, 
The version of windows I am using is, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2 
Enterprise Edition.
The kvm command I tested was: 
kvm -drive file=/mnt/slices/newtuna.qcow2,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on -m 1G 
-vnc :1
 and that gave me the same result, blank screen, high cpu usage.

I just now tried this...
I took the running line from ps which is:

and trimmed it down to

sudo /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1 -name newtuna
-boot c -drive
file=/mnt/slices/newtuna.qcow2,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on,format=qcow2
-vnc 127.0.0.1:8 -monitor stdio -vga cirrus

This command ran, and I was able to connect with vncviewer. All I got
was a blank screen, but I did not get any high cpu usage for the thread
on the server node. Then i figured out that monitor starts in paused
status, so I did c for continue, and verified the status was running.
vnc continued to show blank screen, and thread showed high cpu use.

then I tried your next suggestion...
qemu-img create win1.img 20G
kvm -hda win1.img -cdrom win2003*.iso -m 1G -boot d

my actual line was:  
sudo kvm -hda win1.img -cdrom win2k3.iso -m 1G -boot d
and the returned the error "Could not initialize SDL - exiting"
next I did
sudo kvm -hda win1.img -cdrom win2k3.iso -m 1G -boot d -vga cirrus
still got the same error. 

so next I tried:
 sudo /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 1G -hda win1.img -cdrom 
win2k3.iso -vnc :10 -monitor stdio -vga cirrus
this worked, I was able to connect with vnc and go through the win2k3 
installer. The installer goes through text mode, then reboots at which point i 
have to reestablish the vnc connection, then goes into GUI install mode, setup 
admin and pass, then finally finishing installation. And reboot...it worked, 
windows came up okay. So now that I know that works... how to figure out why it 
doesnt work when I was trying to install the way I usually do with libvirt.

[Bug 671163] Re: win2k3 guest has blank screen and high cpu on first boot

2010-12-04 Thread Steven Wagner
Okay, so it appears to be a problem with something that is saved in the
image. I can use the full cmd and it runs...

sudo /usr/bin/kvm -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1 -name newtuna
-uuid 21a3c860-05b0-5dcf-cc8c-9243604f8e9b -localtime -boot c -drive
file=win1.img -drive
file=/mnt/isos/win2003/CRMEVOL_EN.ISO,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2,format=raw
-drive file=/mnt/isos/virtio-
win-1.1.11-0.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=3,format=raw -drive
file=/mnt/isos/viostor-31-03-2010-floppy.img,if=floppy,index=0,format=raw
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:68:23:96,vlan=0,model=virtio,name=virtio.0
-net tap,fd=58,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -chardev pty,id=serial0 -serial
chardev:serial0 -parallel none -usb -usbdevice tablet -vnc :10 -vga
cirrus

if I substitute 
-drive file=win1.img
with
-drive file=/mnt/slices/newtuna.qcow2,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on,format=qcow2

it no longer works.

[Bug 671163] Re: win2k3 guest has blank screen and high cpu on first boot

2010-12-06 Thread Steven Wagner
I tried to do another win2k3 install, this time via libvirt xml file. I
used a minimal config. The install was immediately running very slow,
possibly due to using a qcow disk file and/or not having used any virtio
config. It ran so slow though with the disk io wait, that it brought the
load average way up on the server node, and it caused ALL of my other
linux virt instances to get CPU Stuck msgs, forcing me to reload the
entire virtualization node. Bad. With all these issues, im going to have
to go with windows virtualization does not work on ubuntu lucid. It used
to work on ubuntu hardy.

[Bug 671163] Re: win2k3 guest has blank screen and high cpu on first boot

2010-12-10 Thread Steven Wagner

It appears that writeback caching was turned off in qemu for qcow2 in June 2009 
because qcow2 was "fast". Then a new patch was applied in July 2010 that made 
qcow2 slow again!  I was able to solve my problems by turning on writeback 
cache.



However, this creates a huge migration issue for anyone upgrading from
Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS. If they use qcow2 files with qemu-
kvm, their virtualization guests will fail and start having disk IO
failures if they are not aware that they now need to turn on writeback
caching manually.


see links about qcow2 changes:

http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug-594069-qemu-kvm-really-poor-
write-performance-qcow2-hdd-image-help-15311.html


** Summary changed:

- win2k3 guest has blank screen and high cpu on first boot
+ qcow2 unusably slow when migrating from 8.04LTS to 10.04LTS

2008-05-27 Thread Steven Wagner
I really hope this gets fixed soon, because even though I have
php5-imagick working with that .deb file listed above, my apt is broken.
see below:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree   
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  php5-imagick: Depends: libmagick9 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Yah, creating the symbolic links works perfect. Thanks a lot! This has
been bugging me for months with a broken apt-get package db.
