If you install openstack by devstack, when you reboot your server and restart the openstack by this script http://www.scalegrid.net/blog/?p=52, when you browse to the dashboard and you will see this error message “HTTPConnectionPool(host=’192.168.100.170′, port=8776): Max retries exceeded with url: /v1/b721f5b1f7cd43dd83ee573f6d4e6c74/os-quota-sets/b721f5b1f7cd43dd83ee573f6d4e6c74 (Caused by <class ‘socket.error’>: [Errno 111] Connection refused)” You should check with your endpoints server […]
Openstack architecture diagram (kvm, qemu-kvm, libvirt, nova, cinder)a
Correct me if i am wrong. Openstack components (nova, cinder, glance) controls libvirt to provide visualization and libvirt use qemu-kvm as the hypervisor. The reason openstack don’t control the qemu-kvm directly is because libvirt provides better cross VM functionality (it can adopt to xen, vmware, etc…) and it provides high-end function such pool management and […]

GDB will remove all breakpoint and set it back repeatly
When you set the breakpoint by input the “b” command, the gdb will not set it immediately, it will wait until the user pressed “c” to cont execute the program. After you pressed “c”, gdb will set all the breakpoints for you. The most funny thing is : when gdb hit a breakpoint and gain […]
qemu debug server hang after breakpoint is hit
If you are developing a debug server for qemu, after qemu hit a breakpoint, your server have to remove the breakpoint manually and re-insert it after the cpu passed that EIP, otherwise the cpu will forever stay in the EIP and can’t single-step/cont to the next instruction. If you take a look the gdbstub.c, gdb […]
QEMU migration via QMP / Monitor command
I just tested the qemu-kvm with QMP, when i send out the qmp command for migration, it takes 20 seconds, it is much slower than type in the command in qemu monitor.
How to use QMP, send command remotely to qemu
To use qmp and send command to qemu from another process, start qemu by This will create a file /tmp/test.gmp for interchange the command. Then you can start another terminal and invoke command.txt: !!! remark, must invoke { “execute”: “qmp_capabilities” } before invoke any qmp command
openstack conflict with virtualbox
When you are running vm in virtual box, and try to start any vm in openstack. The vm that are running in virtualbox will crash immediately, you need to do the follow command to shut it down. If you want to restart that VM, please rmmod the kvm module. I guess is that the kvm […]
OOM has trouble to KVM, it can’t shot down the kvm
In Linux, if the system is out of memory, OOM will pick one process to kill. But someone reported the OOM can’t kill the qemu-kvm, that mean if you are running many VMs that eat up all the memory, the Linux will hang because OOM can’t kill them In tried to run 64 VMs using […]
Restructuring the debugger
At the moment, i am facing 2 big problems of bochs, the first one is unsolvable, bochs running too slow. It is ok if you are doing a hobby OS development, but if you are trying to use bochs to run a full feature Linux kernel or a windows 7, it is just so slow. […]

qemu single step will fail if current EIP hit a breakpoint
I use the following code to insert a breakpoint in physical address 0x1600000 qemu successfully hit the breakpoint and stop, then i try to single-step by the following code: Nothing happened, the EIP still stay in 0x1600000, but if i delete the breakpoint, the single step just work again. Am I missed something?
when you debugging qemu, it will keep firing SIGUSR1 so gdb will always catched in some breakpooints that are not defined by you

10 places where anyone can learn to code
Teens, tweens and kids are often referred to as “digital natives.” Having grown up with the Internet, smartphones and tablets, they’re often extraordinarily adept at interacting with digital technology. But Mitch Resnick, who spoke at TEDxBeaconStreet in November, is skeptical of this descriptor. Sure, young people can text and chat and play games, he says, “but that […]

A x86 java disassembler from Maxine Project

How to change Fedora’s font rendering to get an Ubuntu-like result
Font rendering is a matter of taste. However, I personally think Ubuntu’s default font rendering is the most eye-pleasing one of the whole Linux eco-system. And if a website’s CSS font stack is looking good on Ubuntu, you can be relatively sure that it also works for Mac or MS Windows as long as the used fonts are available on these […]

qemu-kvm is much slower than qemu for single-step
I can do 1500 single-steps per second in qemu. But i can only do 148 in qemu-kvm. I test it by: 1) create a debug server in qemu 2) send huge amount of “s” command from a java program, every “s” command will perform one single step action in qemu.
fail to single step qemu
Hi all I created a simple debug server on qemu, it receives command from tcp, but when i try to single step qemu, it fails, it will keep running rather than stop in the next instruction. I have traced the code a little bit, for gdb, when gdb do single step, the process will throw […]
