一些RHEL 7的virt命令允许你远程访问libvirt连接,但是在RHEL 7上的libguestfs则不能访问远程libvirt guest的磁盘,并且并且类似使用远程URL的指令都不能工作,例如:

virt-df -c qemu://remote/system -d Guest

然而,从RHEL 7开始,libguestfs可以通过NBD访问远程磁盘源。也就是能够通过qemu-nbd命令访问远程主机磁盘,并通过nbd:// URL来访问磁盘。不过要注意远程服务器开启防火墙允许访问端口10809:

  • 远程系统启动nbd,此时qemu-nbd运行在前台,打开了服务等待客户端连接(不返回桌面)
qemu-nbd -t /var/lib/libvirt/images/centos6.img

可以通过yum install qemu-img安装qemu-nbd工具

  • 本地系统使用virt-df反问远程主机
virt-df -a nbd://192.168.122.1

这里 192.168.122.1 是启动了qemu-nbd的主机IP地址

可以使用yum install libguestfs-tools安装libguestfs工具

提示报错信息

libguestfs: error: could not auto-detect the format when using a non-file protocol.
If the format is known, pass the format to libguestfs, eg. using the
'--format' option, or via the optional 'format' argument to 'add-drive'.

我查看了man virt-df发现有一个传递给virt-df 参数 --format=raw|qcow2|... ,所以尝试

virt-df --format=qcow2 -a nbd://192.168.122.1

再次报错

libguestfs: error: qemu-img: /tmp/libguestfsI2WNsN/overlay1: qemu-img exited with error status 1.
To see full error messages you may need to enable debugging.
Do:
  export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1
and run the command again.

通过debug方式显示,检查Image不是qcow2格式,有如下报错:

libguestfs: trace: add_drive "" "readonly:true" "format:qcow2" "protocol:nbd" "server:tcp:192.168.122.1"

libguestfs: command: run: \ /tmp/libguestfsGXUYjt/overlay1
qemu-img: /tmp/libguestfsGXUYjt/overlay1: Image is not in qcow2 format
libguestfs: error: qemu-img: /tmp/libguestfsGXUYjt/overlay1: qemu-img exited with error status 1, see debug messages above

但是在远程服务器上使用qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/images/centos6.img可以看到这个磁盘设备设备确实是qcow2类型(从virsh dumxml centos6看配置也是qcow2类型磁盘)

image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/centos6.img
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 2.7G
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: true

参考Bug 1406981 - guestfish failed to launch nbd qcow2 image with --format=qcow2,原来:

qemu-nbd进程打开qcow2文件是将其作为一个raw文件,所以在客户端(libguestfs)需要通过raw方式来访问

所以正确的访问方式是

virt-df --format=raw -a nbd://192.168.122.1

此时报错改成

libguestfs: guest random name = guestfs-ydiirse7cebh4vfs
libguestfs: connect to libvirt
libguestfs: opening libvirt handle: URI = qemu:///system, auth = default+wrapper, flags = 0
libvirt: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory
libguestfs: error: could not connect to libvirt (URI = qemu:///system): Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory [code=38 int1=2]
libguestfs: trace: launch = -1 (error)

也就是客户端还需要启动libvirtd,即先执行systemctl start libvirtd,然后再执行virt-df --format=raw -a nbd://192.168.122.1,此时输出就能够正确显示远程输出的nbd磁盘容量:

192.168.122.1:/dev/vg_centos6/lv_root
                                       8649736    2475860    5711440   29%

远程使用libguestfs访问NBD输出需要本地启动libvirtd服务,不过,本地访问磁盘则不需要libvirtd - 参考 Does libguestfs need { libvirt / KVM / Red Hat / Fedora }?

libguestfs指令案例

guestfish --format=raw -a nbd://192.168.122.1 -i
  • 检查磁盘文件系统
list-filesystems

可以看到输出远程NBD输出文件系统情况

/dev/sda1: ext4
/dev/vg_centos6/lv_root: ext4
/dev/vg_centos6/lv_swap: swap
  • 挂载文件系统
mkdir /tmp/nbd_lv_root
mount /dev/vg_centos6/lv_root /tmp/nbd_lv_root

此时远程服务器输出的NBD设备的/dev/vg_centos6/lv_root就被挂载到本地的libguestfs系统上的/tmp/nbd_lv_root/目录下,就可以对该目录中文件进行读写操作。

例如,可以查看到远程文件系统中的主机名,确认确实是远程输出的磁盘镜像:

cat /tmp/nbd_lv_root/etc/sysconfig/network

输出信息确认是远程服务器上centos6.img的文件系统主机名配置(我配置的主机名是centos6):

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=centos6
