Chapter 21. Troubleshooting
This chapter covers common problems and solutions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 virtualization issues.
Read this chapter to develop an understanding of some of the common problems associated with virtualization technologies. Troubleshooting takes practice and experience which are difficult to learn from a book. It is recommended that you experiment and test virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to develop your troubleshooting skills.
If you cannot find the answer in this document there may be an answer online from the virtualization community. Refer to Section B.1, “Online Resources” for a list of Linux virtualization websites.

These networking tools can assist with troubleshooting virtualization networking problems:
ifconfigtcpdumpThetcpdumpcommand 'sniffs' network packets.tcpdumpis useful for finding network abnormalities and problems with network authentication. There is a graphical version oftcpdumpnamedwireshark.brctlbrctlis a networking tool that inspects and configures the Ethernet bridge configuration in the Linux kernel. You must have root access before performing these example commands:# brctl show bridge-name bridge-id STP enabled interfaces ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- virtbr0 8000.feffffff yes eth0 # brctl showmacs virtbr0 port-no mac-addr local? aging timer 1 fe:ff:ff:ff:ff: yes 0.00 2 fe:ff:ff:fe:ff: yes 0.00 # brctl showstp virtbr0 virtbr0 bridge-id 8000.fefffffffff designated-root 8000.fefffffffff root-port 0 path-cost 0 max-age 20.00 bridge-max-age 20.00 hello-time 2.00 bridge-hello-time 2.00 forward-delay 0.00 bridge-forward-delay 0.00 aging-time 300.01 hello-timer 1.43 tcn-timer 0.00 topology-change-timer 0.00 gc-timer 0.02
Listed below are some other useful commands for troubleshooting virtualization.
- strace is a command which traces system calls and events received and used by another process.
- vncviewer: connect to a VNC server running on your server or a virtual machine. Install vncviwer using the
yum install tigervnccommand. - vncserver: start a remote desktop on your server. Gives you the ability to run graphical user interfaces such as virt-manager via a remote session. Install vncserver using the
yum install tigervnc-servercommand.
