[libvirt-users] polkit ACL for remotely changing a spice console password

2015-01-16 Thread David Mansfield
I'm working on some infrastructure which allows a remote password reset (with expiry) of a spice console running on a remote libvirtd/qemu-kvm. I currently have GSSAPI over tcp working and can set the password - but I can also do everything else - the default policy is still in place, and once

[libvirt-users] How do you force a VM reboot (when its KPd etc) without interrupting a blockcopy?

2015-01-16 Thread Scott Sullivan
My question is this: If you have an ongoing blockcopy (drive-mirror) of a running transient VM, and the VM kernel panics, can you restart the VM without interrupting the ongoing blockcopy? A virsh reboot won't work since if the VM is kernel panicked, its not going to respond to ACPI requests.

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to start a domain that will discard all changes to its disks on shutdown. I've tried adding to the disk declarations in the definition xml but this results in a "not supported" error message on define. Is there a way to do this without creating and rolling back snapshots

Hi, today I noticed that one of my HVs started swapping aggressively and noticed that the two guests running on it use quite a bit more ram than I assigned to them. They respectively were assigned 124G and 60G with the idea that the 192G system then has 8G for other purposes. In top I see the VMs u
