Hi,

I just upgraded von xcat 2.9 to 2.13.4 (a bit of a jump :)

lsvm used to work and list the running vms. Now it throws the following
error:

$ lsvm kvmhost1
kvmhost1: Error: Unable to identify plugin for this command, check
relevant tables:
hypervisor.type;nodetype.os=(esx.*);nodehm.mgt;nodehm.mgt=ipmi;nodehm.mgt=kvm;hypervisor.type=(rhev.*)
1

when given a running VM its working:
$ lsvm lnx0206a
lnx0206a: Id: 8
lnx0206a: Host: kvmhost1
lnx0206a: OS: hvm
lnx0206a: Memory: 8388608
lnx0206a: CPU: 4
lnx0206a: State: 1 (The domain is active and running)
lnx0206a: Disk file: /dev/clustervg/lnx0206a.vda.raw
lnx0206a: Disk file: /dev/clustervg/lnx0206a.vdb.raw
lnx0206a: Disk file: /dev/clustervg/lnx0206a.vdc.raw

here a are the kvmhost attributes:
$ nodels kvmhost1 hypervisor.type nodehm.mgt nodetype.os hypervisor.type
kvmhost1: nodetype.os: sles12.1
kvmhost1: hypervisor.type: kvm
kvmhost1: nodehm.mgt: ucs

is it missing an attribute to be identified as a hypervisor?

Thanks!

in 2.13.4 kvm.pm looks a bit different but still

sub handled_commands
[...]
lsvm => ['nodehm:mgt=ipmi', 'nodehm:mgt=kvm'], #allow both
hypervisor and VMs as params
[...]

changing nodehm.mgt to "kvm" gets it to list the running vms but renders
rpower useless (ucs plugin)

$ nodels kvmhost1 nodehm.mgt
kvmhost1: ucs

$ chdef kvmhost1 mgt=kvm

Matthias,

As a quick workaround, you can change that line in kvm.pm to be:

lsvm => ['nodehm:mgt=ipmi', 'nodehm:mgt=kvm', 'nodehm:mgt=ucs'],
#allow both hypervisor and VMs as params

Put mgt=ucs for kvmhost1, then run "restartxcatd".

In the meantime, I will try to figure out why a more generic
'hypervisor:type' is not working.

Matthias,

I am curious what setting you have for "hypervisor.type".

Can you run something like "tabdump hypervisor | grep kvmhost1"

You are right Jarrod, it seems like 'hypervisor:type' in kvm.pm should
work, but it fails with the same error message.
I will investigate.

Well, it says ucs, but either way, lsvm should have nothing to do with the mgt type on the host...
