Here's a question: I have a server with two network ports. At the moment, I have four VM's running. They all use eth0 for networking via vmbr0. Inside the VM's, I can either specify a DHCP address or fix it. My server has a fixed IP. So far, so good. Now I want to use the second network port...

I am currently using FreeNAS to back up VM's to, and this works OK. However, occasionally I would like to be able to back up VM's to my laptop (they aren't that big) using NFS. I'm using Windows 7 Pro. We have recompiled and made this - http://sourceforge.net/projects/sossnt/ work for us. We...

A bit more reading shows that there is a way to add a USB disc to a Windows 7 virtual machine on the command line, without editing the conf file and rebooting. You need to plug in your USB drive and see how it is referred to - syslog will tell you. In this example it was sdf. At the monitor...

OK - so it looks like the problem is somewhere in qemu. What did you mean by a 'usb[n]' configuration? i don't see where you can do this from the web interface?

One last thing before I go home. In Device Manager in XP, under Universal Serial Bus controllers there is an Intel 82371SB PCI to USB Universal Host controller, one Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller, three Standard Universal PCI to USB Host controllers and then five USB Root Hub's...

I seem to be talking to myself here ... anyway - you can hotplug a USB mass storage device with Windows XP. It does not work with Windows 7. At least untile I reply to myself again .. :-)

Right - even more stuff! Hotplugging does work with Windows 7 and XP - if you get the command right! The command at the monitor is: device_add usb-host,vendorid=0x1234,productid=0x1234 it's the 0x that makes all the difference - credit to user giner for this one at...

And yet another - Win 7 did not work with a USB bluetooth mouse adapter, but it did work with a USB hard disc. Windows XP did work with the USB mouse adapter. I still can't hotplug things though :-(

A quick addendum: It seems that Windows XP is Ok, but Windows 7 does not see any usb devices. usb_add does not work on either XP or 7, but an addition to the conf file and restarting the VM does work on Windows XP, but not on Windows 7.

I have had success in adding a USB device to a KVM virtual machine by adding it to the conf file and restarting the vm. An example line in the conf file is: usb0: host=1058:1042 This works OK. If I wish to add another device, I presume that I would add another line so: usb1: host=XXXX:XXXX Is...

I just tried the new balloon driver and serial driver on an XP VM and got a lovely blue screen. I think I'll stick to 0.1-52 for the time being.

Ok - that makes sense. This is my test box, so it does have some non-standard stuff on it. Thanks for the reply.

I get this occasionally: avahi-daemon[2382]: server.c: Packet too short or invalid while reading response record. (Maybe a UTF-8 problem?) I understand that avahi is a process that runs to discover network devices. Two questions: What does the above error mean and Does this process really...

Yes, I found the same. You can either add the above to the conf file, set the display to anything but spice and use the spice viewer separately from the web interface, or you can remove that entry, set the display type to spice, and then you get the button on the web interface and you can then...

Well I'm using this line in my vm.conf file: args: -vga qxl -spice port=7200,disable-ticketing -device virtio-serial,id=spice,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9 -chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 and it works OK. Maybe you need args: -spice...

I think you also need port 61000 for TLs to be open. At least it looks that way from the file that is downoaded to your browser.

I guess there's always sed,awk,curl and grep for Windows! :)

And anything we can use on Windows?

Well, that works perfectly! The only catches are: 1) You cannot use the SPICE video driver in the vm - it refuses to start if you do. 2) As you are not using the SPICE driver, there is no Spice button on the web interface. It seems that there is no way to put the password on the command line...

You would think so, yes. I can't find any Spice support on the Dell-Wyse site, but it's a bit academic until there is an option to be able to connect to a vm without having to go through the web interface.
