TY @black3dynamite

I followed this instruction: https://serverfault.com/questions/843212/existing-kvm-vm-to-proxmox-ve

To do that.... Edit... sudo vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf And set... user = "root" group = "root" And then... sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

@EddieJennings said in MacVTap Modes: One option I didn't see in the redhat doc was openvswitch. Don't they support it? The link I posted was for RHEL 6. I just now saw that RHEL 8's documentation is online. I glanced through it and didn't see that mentioned. I'll read it more closely tomorrow. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_virtualization/configuring-virtual-machine-network-connections_configuring-and-managing-virtualization There's no mention of openvswitch anywhere in that document. I am aware of XenServer and XCP-ng uses it by default. So its possible RHEL just prefers using macvlan/macvtap instead of openvswitch.

@black3dynamite said in Mouse Issues on Windows 2019 on KVM Through Virt-Manager: EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet is the default when selecting Server 2019 config template. That's the one. And the template didn't load properly when we selected it! It kept going back to Alpine!

I asked if they really had customers who would pay that amount. They said hundreds... Ummm ok, not thousands? Really?

@black3dynamite said in Spin VMs quickly with KVM + virt-sysprep: @stacksofplates said in Spin VMs quickly with KVM + virt-sysprep: I usually use virt-builder to build the image, and then I can clone from that. Then you have nice really small images to build from. Have you ever created your own repo using virt-builder-repository? No I've always pulled from upstream. I've honestly never looked into that before.

@FATeknollogee said in Hypervisors: revisit your choices!: One downside to KVM (in virt-manager) is lack of snapshots for UEFI VMs. yes it is.

@black3dynamite said in Converting VMware VMs to KVM: I haven't been keeping up with Windows Admin Center for awhile. Was that an option to manage Hyper-V? It will be, but I'm not sure that it is yet. We've tried and not been able to get it working even internally anywhere, let alone externally. Once they figure out stability and authentication, I assume that it will be great for that. Being that this is 2016, it's going to suck hard. And if there is a Hyper-V issue, WAC would be down which is a problem in a small environment like this.

Mystery solved.

@stacksofplates said in Automated Provisioning - KVM & CM tools: @fuznutz04 said in Automated Provisioning - KVM & CM tools: @stacksofplates said in Automated Provisioning - KVM & CM tools: Terraform will do this and I have an Ansible role to do it also. As @IRJ mentioned Vagrant will work also. However I feel Terraform is a better fit as you have more control over the specific pieces of your infrastructure. You would still prefer Terraform over Ansible for this as well? Yeah. My role can create the VMs, but Terraform had more functionality for that. Ansible overlaps in the infrastructure provisioning space a lot, but it lacks keeping states like Terraform does. I'd like to learn both. I just started with Ansible a day or two ago. I have been (and still am) using SaltStack.

@scottalanmiller said in P2V Windows 2000 on KVM: So this is ridiculous, but we just found out that it is actually 2003 R2, not 2000. So I assume that this will be way better. I had a ton of issues getting mine to work - I had to run chkdsk like 15 times before it finally booted... I don't recall what migration tool I used.

@Emad-R said in KVM on Fedora 30, Error creating virtual network: @black3dynamite said in KVM on Fedora 30, Error creating virtual network: @Emad-R said in KVM on Fedora 30, Error creating virtual network: @stacksofplates said in KVM on Fedora 30, Error creating virtual network: Can you create it with virsh? Wondering if it's just a virt-manager issue since they are deprecating it. Over my dead body. I love virt-manager they kick that out and I will be kicking them out. not everyone wants web gui using resources and being inefficient with VNC protocol and opening another port. The web gui hardly use enough resources for you to even notice. I do agree, cause I have split personality but that said I still want virt-manager to be around. It is very mature and snappy. Deprecated is probably the same as how ifconfig is deprecated it will be around forever.

Hey @JaredBusch if you Google about converting Hyper-V to KVM, this is Google's built in process now! They link this article as the "official" Google chosen reference document for this process!

For Fedora you can just do sudo dnf install vagrant-libvirt

@fuznutz04 said in KVM networking & teaming: @DustinB3403 said in KVM networking & teaming: @fuznutz04 no he's saying you can only assign it in VM or via CLI. You still create your team. I think he is actually saying, you can create the NIC team in Cockpit. (You can, I did it already), but you then just assign that team, via the VM Guest settings. ...I think. For what's it's worth, that is what I said.

1 .So can ovirt be run with only 2 nodes? 2. With those 2 nodes, do you need a separate shared storage device for live migrations, etc, or can you have local storage (Like "vsan")?

@brandon220 said in Run virt-manager on Windows 10: Switching from Vanilla KVM (CentOS -> Fedora -> Ubuntu) to Proxmox @scottalanmiller Never thought I would hear those words from you! we have a whole thread on this someplace.

@Francesco-Provino said in virt-manager for Windows: @scottalanmiller you don’t want a GUI on the virtualization host, ever. Just spin a VM with virt-manager and launch it on your local machine with xming or one of the other solutions in the other comments. Right, bypassing Windows can be an option, but it's a crappy one. But I got it working directly on Windows, so no need for a heavy VM for one app.

it relies on DNS (or hosts files) to resolve itself and generate SSL certs, this has to work before you install the engine. If it did work, and you still get this error, this is a bug

@dyasny said in KVM/QEMU DNS: libvirt has dnsmasq built in, to serve DHCP. It can also be configured to serve DNS to the libvirt NAT network, and the host. This is an example of a working configuration: https://fabianlee.org/2018/10/22/kvm-using-dnsmasq-for-libvirt-dns-resolution/ Pretty cool. Thanks.

@FATeknollogee said in KVM host: refusing connection on ports 22 & 9090: Still looking for a fix!! Can you ping out from it? Is the gateway missing or wrong? Subnet missing or wrong?

Yeah, sorry misread you where looking for how to do it from windows that why I added the exe

@dyasny said in Virt-manager: IDE disks: @scottalanmiller said in Virt-manager: IDE disks: They need to just get off of my lawn. LOL, funny how I'd never have understood the joke before moving to NA and buying a house HAHAHA

@dyasny said in Virt-Manager on multiple pc's: if you have an ovirt-engine somewhere central, that can reach to all the other locations, you can create a datacentre per location and place standalone hosts in there, using local storage. Never thought about that. That's a great idea.

@stacksofplates said in Kvm network troubleshooting: @scottalanmiller said in Kvm network troubleshooting: Your server has an IP address of 192.168.122.1? Is that correct? Nothing wrong with that technically, but it would be exceptionally unusual. That's almost always the gateway address. What is the address of your gateway? That's libvirts virtual bridge address for the NAT network. Oh, duh, I missed the bridge. Carry on.

@atahaynah said in Cockpit: @DustinB3403 it was stopped But fortunately i got it resolved i had to downgrade one packege and after that restarted the service and it worked What did you downgrade to fix the issue?

@scottalanmiller RHV now, after a rebrand in 2016-ish
