Reg : qemu-kvm upgrade in KVM hypervisor agent
Hello,
As part of KVM upgrade it's found that default package 'qemu-kvm' [ which comes with OS distro] does not support machine chipset type 'q35'. And this support can be leveraged by installing 'qemu-kvm-ev' which is from centos-release-qemu-ev repo.
I saw some some old mail threads saying that they have integrated qemu-kvm-ev, but still in agent bundle rpm requirements [https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/packaging/centos7/cloud.spec] I found old 'qemu-kvm' only.
Can we leverage this package qemu-kvm-ev in agent rpm bundle?. Has anyone faced any issues in Cloud Stack after upgrading the package.
~Regards,
Pavan.

Pavan,
No need to alter the spec, once you install centos-release-qemu-ev the next "yum update" will update your qemu-kvm without breaking rpm deps.
Please note qemu-kvm-ev has more features, but it is not part of CentOS Base.
It's a community effort and it does not meet the kind of enterprise level of QA you would expect from stock CentOS packages. Expect problems at some point. In fact I remember someone had to downgrade recently because of issues (which I do not recall, it's on the ml).

Looks like the logic here was designed to solve a different problem
// for KVM, only allow snapshot with memory when VM is in running state
if (userVmVo.getHypervisorType() == HypervisorType.KVM &&
userVmVo.getState() == State.Running && !snapshotMemory) {
throw new InvalidParameterValueException("KVM VM does not allow to
take a disk-only snapshot when VM is in running state");
}
Should probably be
userVmVo.getHypervisorType() == HypervisorType.KVM &&
userVmVo.getState() != State.Running && snapshotMemory

Yes, exactly. It's being thrown by qemu-img. You can try it and see the same. :-)

Hi Vladimir,
The error should not be thrown by cloudstack I think.

I don't remember (I tried it about a half-year ago), but it was
something regarding impossibility of touching a qcow2-file that is being
opened by another process. :-(

Hi Vladimir,
What's the error message ?
You should be able to create a vm snapshot, then create volume snapshot
from vmsnapshot.

Hello,
I tried to use qemu-kvm-ev with ACS 4.11.2 and have found out that it makes
impossible to take a snapshot of a running instance's volume. :-(
