Re: [fedora-virt] Routing to guests

Alexander is correct in saying that bridging would allow you to do that. There are two networking discussed in the guide. The first is a NAT (network address translation), in which the guests are given "private" ip addresses and any outbound traffic appears to be coming from the host machine's IP address. This is the same as the setup on your ADSL router where the internal network machines get addresses of 192.168.x.x but the internet sees your requests as coming from the IP address of your router. There should be lots of documentation in linux firewalling guides under sections on NAT (or possibly called IP Masquerading in some). Have a look at these for information on port forwarding to reveal services inside the virtual (such as ssh). The other option is bridging. This shares the physical network interface of the host with the guest. In this case the VM acts as though it's a machine plugged into the same subnet as the host, its services are accessible like those of the host and it's as vulnerable to attack as the host. Robert

QXL/QEMU should really be fixed since that's where the > problem appears to lie. As it stands, Fedora 16 (currently using unpatched libvirt-0.9.6) will be going into beta with QXL video broken for Windows guests, so we need some kind of Fedora-only patch very soon (see the schedule here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/16/Schedule - fortunately just delayed another week) The original patch in this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg00534.html of course doesn't include the above mentioned additional code, and there isn't a followup patch. It would be very good to push a patch to the F16 git for this so it would hopefully get into the beta, but want to make sure what I push is the "right" thing, so a "final" patch (and some testing by people with F16 hosts) would be very helpful!

virt-manager hangs on virt-preview enabled f15
by Gianluca Cecchi 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hello, with all defined vms powered off, as soon as I start virt-manager and double click on a vm row, it hangs and only way is to click top right and then force quit. I also tried recompiling spice-gtk from F16 source rpm (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=261760 btw: on mirrors I still see 0.7.1 for f16 and rawhide..... while 0.7.39 should be in f16 stable???) so that now I have spice-glib-0.7.39-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm spice-gtk-0.7.39-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm spice-gtk3-0.7.39-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm spice-gtk-python-0.7.39-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm spice-gtk-tools-0.7.39-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm top - 10:01:30 up 55 min, 6 users, load average: 1.23, 0.92, 0.56 Tasks: 170 total, 3 running, 167 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 10.2%us, 46.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 42.3%id, 1.3%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st Mem: 4056320k total, 2235448k used, 1820872k free, 87908k buffers Swap: 506012k total, 0k used, 506012k free, 971616k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 15474 gcecchi 20 0 804m 47m 13m R 100.0 1.2 1:36.06 python # strace -p 15474 sched_yield() = 0 sched_yield() = 0 sched_yield() = 0 sched_yield() = 0 sched_yield() = 0 sched_yield() = 0 sched_yield() = 0 sched_yield() = 0 I attach virt-manager.log...

Guest can no longer be bootet with libvirt 0.9.6 from virt-preview repo
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi, I just noticed that once I upgrade to libvirt-0.9.6-1 from the virt-preview repo on my Fedora 15 machine I can no longer boot guests that use virtio disks. I only get "Boot failed: could not read the boot disk". Removing the disk and re-adding it as IDE drive allows KVM to boot from the disk (although the full boot obviously fails due to the hda/vda naming difference but that's expected). After downgrading to libvirt-0.8.8-7 again the problem goes away and the guest boot fine from virtio disks. Is this a known problem? Do I have to configure something differently to make this work as it should? Regards, Dennis

Dual boot Fedora15/Win7 with VM Win7 too
by David C. Mores 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

I have a new HP PC with AMD quad CPU that came with Win7 installed. I installed Fedora 15 by first shrinking the hard drive ntfs partition in half and letting the Fedora installation set up the dual boot configuration in the GRUB boot menu. That all works fine. I can boot either O/S with no problems or side effects. Now to take this to the next level, I would like to setup a Win7 VM under Fedora that uses the Win7 installation that is already available in the Win 7 partition. Running the original Win 7 installation as a VM guest would be cool - efficient use of storage, the Win7 license and convenient - along with the existing option to reboot into Win 7. The Fedora Virtualization Guide documentation does not seem to cover this case where the O/S install exists before the VM is created. Can this be done? Have you done it successfully? What are the details? Dave

virtio-win 0.1.15 iso missing network drivers?
by Gianluca Cecchi 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hello, using Fedora 15 + virt-preview, I would like to update drivers for my W7 vm. It seems that inside the 0.1.15 iso there are no netkvm drivers for windows 7 (both x86 and x86_64). Any explanation for this? Where could I download updated ones? BTW: why its version is less than the .vfd one...? 0.1.15 vs 1.1.16... I think this can lead to misunderstanding... Gianluca

Routing only works in one direction
by Philip Rhoades 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

People, I have been installing virtual machines for a while on a Fedora 14 x86_64 system (the most recent one was F16 Alpha i686) and I have always managed to be able to test what I wanted to but ssh-ing from the host to the virtual machines has never worked (it always works the other way around). I get: ssh: connect to host 192.168.122.139 port 22: No route to host ifconfig shows: virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:00:9F:96:2F inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 route shows: 192.168.122.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 so why the error message?
