Convert libvirt xml into qemu command line

marietto · 05-16-2020, 03:51 PM

Hello,

I created a VM using virt-manager and I can edit that xml using virsh edit, but I would like to ask you if there is way of converting libvirt xml into qemu command line. I've found that someone else made the same question sime time ago :

https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/commen...mand_line_and/

and the user jkhsjdhjs says :

For converting libvirt xml to qemu command line you can just start the vm with libvirt. libvirt will start a qemu process with a whole lot of command line arguments which you can then save. Since libvirt just starts a qemu process they should perform exactly the same.

ok,but how ? I would like to understand how to start the vm with libvirt,so that I can see every options included in the qemu command.

I tried with :

Code:

virsh dumpxml win10

virsh domxml-to-native qemu-argv win10.xml

error: internal error: invalid PCI passthrough type 'default'

I used this command :

Code:

ps x | grep kvm

Code:

it is not enough good for me. I'm not able to boot the vm using these arguments.without libvirt.

berndbausch · 05-17-2020, 09:04 AM

Code:

virsh start win10
ps -ef | grep qemu

Here you are, your command line.

thanks,but it gives me something like this :

as u can see,these arguments should be clean or they will not work. Infact,if I run it as is,it gives to me the following error :

-chardev socket,id=charmonitor,server,nowait: Exactly one of 'path', 'fd' or 'host' required

it should be fixed. I'm not able to do that. it is too complicated for me. Isn't a method that gives a cleaner result ?

berndbausch · 05-18-2020, 06:04 AM

Personally, I don't know enough about qemu command-line options to explain or correct the error.

berndbausch · 05-18-2020, 06:20 AM

Strangely, I see the following in the output:

Code:

-chardev socket,id=charmonitor,fd=32,server,nowait

but the error message omits the "fd=32" part.

marietto · 05-18-2020, 11:43 AM

ok this is the output. I think that previously I had attempt to remove some parts :

so,this is what happens if I try to run all of these commands in a sh file directly :

root@ziomario-Z390-AORUS-PRO:/home/ziomario/Scrivania/TooLinux# ./win_virt.sh

Code:

shruggy · 05-18-2020, 12:02 PM

^This is because you aren't quoting the argument to -blockdev, so braces ({}) get interpreted by bash and expanded.

Code:

... -blockdev '{"driver":"file",..."discard":"unmap"}'...

marietto2008 · 05-18-2020, 04:34 PM

I don't understand what should I do to have a full and working qemu commands.

berndbausch · 05-18-2020, 06:33 PM

Add single quotes to escape the braces and double quotes, like shruggy showed you. You can also use backslashes.

This is not a qemu problem, but a shell problem.

marietto · 05-22-2020, 05:22 AM

I've added quotes and I have remvoed the argument "-object secret,id=masterKey0,format=raw,file=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-3-win10/master-key.aes" because I haven't any master-key.aes file on my computer. This is the command that I have got :

My guess: By removing "-object secret,id=masterKey0,format=raw,file=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-3-win10/master-key.aes", you changed the file descriptor numbering. Perhaps try 31? Or leave that option in?

I do wonder, though. You say yourself that you don't know qemu well, and you don't seem to know shell syntax that well either. Why do you insist on composing a qemu command line of that degree of complexity? Why not just use the XML file and launch the VM with virt-manager or virsh?

if I don't have any master-key.aes file,If I leave that option there,it will give the error : "file not found". I like to chain commands more than using virt-manager or virsh,because its easier to experiment. u know,removing and adding arguments is easier because they are all there,in a unique place. just a glance to see them all.

Perhaps you can remove the chardev option as well.

I have removed all the chardev lines. This chain of commands :
