qemu-kvm drive_add error

Message

anonybosh · Post by **anonybosh** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 10:43 pm

I'm just diving into VMs, and running qemu-kvm-0.13.0-r2 and libvirt-0.8.7. I have a Windows XP VM going with functioning network, etc. Now I want to hot add/remove disks.

Code: Select all

virsh --connect qemu:///system attach-disk xp32sp3 /var/lib/libvirt/images/xp32sp3.img sdb
error: Failed to attach disk
error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'drive_add': The command drive_add has not been found

Using virt-manager fails as well, however it doesn't give an error.
This is reproducible for both unprivileged and root users.
Any ideas why? I googled the drive_add error, and only pulled up one redhat bug report back in 2010.

Another question (unrelated to the drive_add issue, but VM related), is it normal for an XP VM to take 14-15% CPU time when idle? Even when the VM is paused, it pulls 4-6% CPU. I have the kvm and kvm_amd kernel modules loaded. Performance is not bad. There are no unrecognized devices in devmgmt.msc.

TIA!

Code: Select all

# emerge libvirt qemu-kvm virt-manager -p

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Windows ACPI is a resource hog. Did you disable it when you installed XP? It's easily done post-install by changing the computer driver, from ACPI-XXXX to mono/multiprocessor-SMP. Careful, there's no going back

.

I'm guessing I may have installed XP without ACPI enabled at all...
At least in virt-manager, the ACPI checkbox is unchecked, and it won't enable (same with APIC as well). Acronyms for the dyslexic anyone?

The checkbox in Virtual Machine Manager doesn't necessarily mean the VM is installed without ACPI. To check that you must open the device manager in your Windows VM and go to the Computer component. There if it says "[...] ACPI [...] [computer]" then ACPI was enabled in Windows. It's the only valid way to check if ACPI is enabled in Windows.
