How to find the IP address of a KVM Virtual Machine, that I can SSH into it?












25














I have follow this guide (Virtualization With KVM On Ubuntu 11.10) to setup my KVM (Virtual Machines Software) on my Ubuntu 11.10 Server. However, I didn't setup my VM's IP address when creating the VM, instead of using:



vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=oneiric --flavour=virtual --arch=amd64 --mirror=http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu -o --libvirt=qemu:///system --ip=192.168.0.101 --gw=192.168.0.1 --part=vmbuilder.partition --templates=mytemplates --user=administrator --name=Administrator --pass=howtoforge --addpkg=vim-nox --addpkg=unattended-upgrades --addpkg=acpid --firstboot=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm1/boot.sh --mem=256 --hostname=vm1 --bridge=br0


I used: (I deleted "--ip=192.168.0.101 --gw=192.168.0.1" from the command line)



vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=oneiric --flavour=virtual --arch=amd64 --mirror=http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu -o --libvirt=qemu:///system --part=vmbuilder.partition --templates=mytemplates --user=administrator --name=Administrator --pass=howtoforge --addpkg=vim-nox --addpkg=unattended-upgrades --addpkg=acpid --firstboot=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm1/boot.sh --mem=256 --hostname=vm1 --bridge=br0


I have set up the network bridge as the guide instructed and the new VM's interface is connected to the network bridge.



I assume the KVM will assign my VM via DHCP but I don't have information on my new VM's IP address, where can I find the VM's IP address and SSH to the new VM? Thanks.



[Notes: I have managed to login the VM without knowing the IP address of the VM. Using "Xming + SSH with X Graphic Forwarding" But there is no DHCP ip address assigned to my VM, Besides the above question, I have another question here: How to enable the DCHP on my VM so when I use Xming to login via "virt viewer" I can at least see my IP address is there.]

  • I have figured out the problem and solved it. In the /etc/network/interfaces I deleted "network" and "broadcast" information and the DHCP worked on my guest VMs. Now I can ssh into my Guest VM. I guess my "network XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" or "broadcast XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" is wrong. the guide is still working well for this kind of setup, just be careful when set up your own network environment. The problem is solved!!!

You can run arp -n to see what IP your virtual machine pick up. In that way, you don't have to login guest vm and type ifconfig.



The blog below has more details and includes a perl script which automates finding the address of a virtual machine.

Try this:



virsh net-list
virsh net-dhcp-leases <net-name> <--- net-name from above command


You can also use following form if you know the MAC address:



virsh net-dhcp-leases <net-name> --mac <mac-address>


The MAC address can be found from dumpxml command.

list for vms:



virsh list


get vm MAC from name



virsh domiflist debian8


do the scan of your vm subnet with grep (MAC must be capitalized)



nmap -sP 10.0.0.0/24 | grep 52:54:00:FD:1F:92 -B 3 


result



Nmap scan report for 10.0.0.173
Host is up (0.0012s latency).
MAC Address: 52:54:00:FD:1F:92 (QEMU Virtual NIC)

    If you have console access to the VM then just run ifconfig -a on the guest. While you are there, check to make sure that the guest does have network connectivity and that sshd is running.



    If you have not console access, then chances are the IP address was assigned by DHCP. Look for another machine that is also getting a DHCP assignment, maybe the host server, and then add 1 to the address and try it. In fact, try the next 5 or 6 addresses. If that doesn't work, then you either have a large active network and will need to try every IP address in the subnet, or there is a lower level network problem like no route to host or two hosts with the same MAC address. Or maybe you just didn't get sshd running.



    Using the console is the easiest way to solve this problem.

    To see the IP address of your VM/s just run:



    $ arp -n



    If arp isn't installed on your system just install the net-tools package.

      It's possible to connect through builtin VNC with virt-manager, and you do tty login, find the ip address with ifconfig eth0. Normally eth0, unless you've specified otherwise.

        sudo nmap -sn 192.168.5.0/24 | awk '/Nmap scan report/{printf $5;printf " ";getline;getline;print $3;}' | fgrep -if <(virsh list --name | grep . | while read n; do virsh domiflist $n; done | grep --only-matching ..:..:..:..:..:..)



        Scan subnet. Parse the output with awk to get lines like <IP> <MAC>. Then grep in them using a list of the MACs of the VMs.



        The list of the MACs is obtained by listing all of the VMs (also strip empty lines), then doing virsh domiflist for each of them, and then grepping for a pattern that looks like a MAC.

          I guess this is an old question, but the current versions of virsh make this a lot easier if you're using a nat or bridged private network. I have a machine - steak - on a (routed) private network:



          sauer@helium:~> sudo virsh list
          Id Name State
          ----------------------------------------------------
          21 steak running

          sauer@helium:~> sudo virsh domifaddr steak
          Name MAC address Protocol Address
          -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          vnet0 76:0c:28:ab:0e:ee ipv4 10.14.1.1/24


          On another machine, I have a system (unifi) which is bridged to the regular network. Libvirt doesn't assign it an address; it gets an address from my network DHCP server, which also updates dynamic DNS in my case. So, you basically have to find the address like it's any other machine - finding it in the arp table is probably the easiest -- which means ip neighbour now, as arp is deprecated and no longer present on some distributions. Luckily for those of us who don't spell things with extrae vouwels, you can also use shorter versions, like ip neigh and ip n (or ip neighbor). ;)



          sauer@helium:~$ sudo virsh domifaddr unifi
          Name MAC address Protocol Address
          -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          sauer@helium:~$ sudo virsh domiflist unifi

            If you have QEMU(VM emulator) go to "i" button and check the network card associated with "Br0" network. Take a note of the mac address of the NIC. Now Login to your VM -> Open Terminal -> type: "ifconfig" command in the terminal -> take a note of IP address associated with the the Mac address that you have noted earlier.



            You can login to your VM using Putty or any ssh client using the IP you have noted in the last step.

              I have my KVM guests on br0 interface so I think its a bit different, but here is my two scripts I made.



              Note to use ARP you first need to have the MAC in your Arp Table. Therefor its best to use fping to do a quick ping of entire network (takes like 2 seconds). This makes sure your Arp cache is up to date.



              apt-get install fping
              yum install fping


              Find a single guest IP via :



              cat << 'EOF' > ~/findip.sh
              #!/bin/bash
              #FreeSoftwareServers.com

              echo "Finding All Active IP's in Network via single Ping"
              sleep 2s

              fping -a -g 192.168.1.0/24
              #nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24

              echo "Please Enter the Exact Name of the VM Guest:"

              read guestname

              arp -na | awk -v mac=$(virsh domiflist $guestname | awk '$2=="bridge"{print $NF}') '$0 ~ " at " mac {gsub("[()]", "", $2); print $2}'
              EOF
              chmod +x ~/findip.sh
              sudo sh -c 'echo "alias findguestip=~/findip.sh" >> ~/.bashrc'
              source ~/.bashrc
              findguestip


              Find All Guest IP's via:

              #!/bin/bash
              #FreeSoftwareServers.com

              #nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24

              domainlog=/tmp/domain.log

              virsh list --all | grep running | cut -c 8- >> "$domainlog"

              sed -i 's/running*//g' "$domainlog"

              readarray domain < "$domainlog"

              do
              ip="$(arp -na | awk -v mac=$(virsh domiflist $i | awk '$2=="bridge"{print $NF}') '$0 ~ " at " mac {gsub("[()]", "", $2); print $2}')"
              echo "Hostname : $i IP : $ip"
              done

              • I tackled this problem in the end with arp-scan. example: sudo arp-scan --interface=br0 --localnet --bandwidth=8192000 --numeric --retry=1 that was for when I wanted to actively search. I used addrwatch to sit in the background and accumulate a mac/ip address mapping for me.

                1. Get your domain list by virsh list --all



                  virsh # list --all

                  2 webserver_01 running



                2. Get your domain interface list by domain id or name using virsh domiflist yourDomainId, and you will see the MAC ADDRESS of the domain's interface.



                  virsh # domiflist 2

                  bridge br0 virtio 52:54:00:42:be:96



                3. Using nmap scan your LAN by nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24|grep -i '52:54:00:42:be:96' -B 2, you will get the IP ADDRESS.



                  [root@kvm-master ~]# nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24|grep -i '52:54:00:42:be:96' -B2

                  You can run arp -n to see what IP your virtual machine pick up. In that way, you don't have to login guest vm and type ifconfig.



                  The blog below has more details and includes a perl script which automates finding the address of a virtual machine.

                          If you have console access to the VM then just run ifconfig -a on the guest. While you are there, check to make sure that the guest does have network connectivity and that sshd is running.



                          If you have not console access, then chances are the IP address was assigned by DHCP. Look for another machine that is also getting a DHCP assignment, maybe the host server, and then add 1 to the address and try it. In fact, try the next 5 or 6 addresses. If that doesn't work, then you either have a large active network and will need to try every IP address in the subnet, or there is a lower level network problem like no route to host or two hosts with the same MAC address. Or maybe you just didn't get sshd running.



                          Using the console is the easiest way to solve this problem.

                          To see the IP address of your VM/s just run:



                          $ arp -n



                          If arp isn't installed on your system just install the net-tools package.

                                  It's possible to connect through builtin VNC with virt-manager, and you do tty login, find the ip address with ifconfig eth0. Normally eth0, unless you've specified otherwise.

                                                  I guess this is an old question, but the current versions of virsh make this a lot easier if you're using a nat or bridged private network. I have a machine - steak - on a (routed) private network:



                                                  sauer@helium:~> sudo virsh list

                                                  On another machine, I have a system (unifi) which is bridged to the regular network. Libvirt doesn't assign it an address; it gets an address from my network DHCP server, which also updates dynamic DNS in my case. So, you basically have to find the address like it's any other machine - finding it in the arp table is probably the easiest -- which means ip neighbour now, as arp is deprecated and no longer present on some distributions. Luckily for those of us who don't spell things with extrae vouwels, you can also use shorter versions, like ip neigh and ip n (or ip neighbor). ;)

                                                          yeah, you have no ip... Did you try "dhclient eth0" --might need sudo

                                                          I tried but still not getting dhcp ip from my host server to my guest VMs. My host server is assigned a fixed IP and it can access the internet.

                                                          if you want an ip not on the parent network, you want to select NAT in your vm settings instead of bridged.

                                                          If you have QEMU(VM emulator) go to "i" button and check the network card associated with "Br0" network. Take a note of the mac address of the NIC. Now Login to your VM -> Open Terminal -> type: "ifconfig" command in the terminal -> take a note of IP address associated with the the Mac address that you have noted earlier.



                                                          You can login to your VM using Putty or any ssh client using the IP you have noted in the last step.
