The guestfs error is due to a misconfiguration of guestfs and will only result in not having files injected before booting. Usually this is harmless as cloud-init
like software will fix it after booting.
Glad the VM booted

changing /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf helped
.
clear_emulator_capabilities=0 was already set.
VM boots up, but it still has the same error in log.

If that doesn’t work try setting clear_emulator_capabilities=0

Try setting user and group to root in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

What were your build time options for qemu?

Seems like qemu doesn’t have the privileges to read

Hi,
both
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable is 1.
The logs are:
libvirtd-debug (sorry for lots of garbage in this file)
/var/log/messages
instance.log
After disabling tracing_on and tracing kvm events, it gave the same error.
Regards,
Arindam

If you can that’ll be great. Thanks.
Also what’s in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable
Try running after
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
If there’s no improvement try - although I don’t know what it really does (I need to read the code)
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable
I’m just wondering if it’s due to some permission/ACL issues when trying to write into debugfs using ftrace, given your observation on different tracing backends.
Thanks for reporting and spending time on this.
Cheers

Hi,
Its a multi-node deployment with nova-network.
If you want I can recreate the error and send you the logs.

Interesting…
Is it a single node deployment? Do you have any other log data such as libvirt_debug.log, libvirt/qemu/instance-xxxx.log? Any errors/warnings during the time
of instance creation in syslog?

it only happens when I enable
--enable-trace-backend=ftrace
with
--enable-trace-backend=simple
works fine.

Also check if it’s a cgroups issue since the binary location changed. You could look at the syslog and kern.log

Reading your log, I don’t think the problem is due to injection failure at libguestfs. It’s a warning and is ignored.
Seems more like a network setup issue. Are you using neutron? Is the network/subnet etc setup properly?

Hi Parthipan,
When I try to do yum remove python-libguestfs.
It also wants to remove openstack-nova-compute. So, I can not.

Arindam,
What happens if you ‘apt-get remove python-guestfs’ and try? I’d expect it to fallback to nbdmount.

Hi,
I have a working Openstack Grizzly setup with nova-network on Scientific Linux. As, SL comes with a old qemu:
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6_4.6.x86_64
I am trying to upgrade it to qemu-1.7.0 from source.
The configuration output.
As, openstack use /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm to start up VM, i linked
qemu-kvm to qemu-system-x86_64:
ls
-l
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root
33
Feb

15:25
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm
->
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
But when I try to start VM, I get following error:
WARNING nova.virt.disk.api [req-7dfd6cf1-db21-403d-abbf-ccb5f0273a6a
b829b65d0675416198f9e4838b5009e2 9a2e060772204260b53b52ea1c12db97]

(Error mounting /var/lib/nova/instances/07c0898e-7d75-448d-b4fe-2c37f681b846/disk

The full error log is here.
Output of libguestfs-test-tool is here.
