Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2009:0142 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE libvirt bug fix and enhancement update 2009-01-20 16:05:03 UTC

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2008-04-29 18:08:49 UTC 
At present, RHEL 4 fullvirt guests have no disk stats visible
in the RHEL 5 host.

RHEL 4 guests with PV drivers have the correct
/sys/devices/xen-backend/.../statistics/* files, but they always
contain zeroes.

Notes:
 (1) I'm not sure yet if these two things are the same issue or
     separate bugs - I may split this bug into two parts later.
 (2) This BZ may need kernel & libvirt (& hypervisor & PV driver??)
     sub-bugs in future in order to get all the work done.
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-05-01 15:14:24 UTC 
Kernel part of this is covered by bug 250104.

Userspace (libvirt) part is covered by bug 306931.
Comment 2 Daniel Veillard 2008-05-26 13:05:37 UTC 
Userspace (libvirt) part is included as part of the rebase on update 2,
this would still need QA (checking the device paths are correct in U3)
before marking this as fixed once the kernel part is done,

Comment 7 Gurhan Ozen 2008-12-22 22:48:29 UTC 
# virsh domblkstat rhel4.7_x86_64_hvm_guest /dev/xvdb
/dev/xvdb rd_req 1
/dev/xvdb rd_bytes 4096
/dev/xvdb wr_req 0
/dev/xvdb wr_bytes 0
/dev/xvdb errs 0

# virsh domblkstat rhel4.7_x86_64_hvm_guest /dev/xvdf
/dev/xvdf rd_req 9
/dev/xvdf rd_bytes 75776
/dev/xvdf wr_req 2987
/dev/xvdf wr_bytes 50900992
/dev/xvdf errs 0

I am not sure if this was intentional or not but, this is working for rhel3 pv-on-hvm guests as well:

# virsh domblkstat rhel3.9_x86_64_hvm_guest /dev/xvda
/dev/xvda rd_req 1
/dev/xvda rd_bytes 4096
/dev/xvda wr_req 0
/dev/xvda wr_bytes 0
/dev/xvda errs 0

# virsh domblkstat rhel3.9_x86_64_hvm_guest /dev/xvdb
/dev/xvdb rd_req 2
/dev/xvdb rd_bytes 5120
/dev/xvdb wr_req 1141
/dev/xvdb wr_bytes 50630656
/dev/xvdb errs 0
