Hi All -
Recently did this and thought it would be worth documenting. I couldnt find
any solid information on vsrx with kvm outside of flat KVM. This outlines
some of the things I hit along the way and how to fix. This is my one small
way of giving back to such an incredible open source tool

Thanks for sharing!
Why didn't you just upload the qcow2 disk via the UI/API though?
There's quite a bit of manual work that I hope is not needed?

@Work we're using Juniper too and oud of curiosity I downloaded the
qcow2 image and used the UI to upload it and add it to a VM. It just
works :-) oVirt++

I hit a lot of errors when I tried to upload through the web UI. I tried
both remote URI and local file and both failed for me. I cant remember
exactly what they were but I recall its where I spent a lot of time
initially. I think it had something to do with the ovirt-imageio
function...something around that I couldnt get working right. Also, doing
the way I did it allowed me to quickly restart if I needed to by creating
an alias around dd command. I had to restart a bunch so it was useful. I
did this all on 4.0.1.1-1.el7.centos

Out of curiosity how much traffic can it handle running in these Virtual
Machines on the top of reasonable hardware ?

Truth be told I dont really know. What I am going to be doing with it is
pretty much mostly some lab stuff and get working with VRF's a bit
There is a known limitation with virtio backend driver uses interrupt mode
to receive packets and vSRX uses DPDK -
https://dpdk.readthedocs.io/en/stable/nics/virtio.html which in turn
creates a bottleneck in to the guest VM. It is more ideal to use something
like SR-IOV instead and remove as many buffer layers as possible with PCI
passthrough
One easier way too is to use DPDK OVS. I know ovirt supports OVS in later
versions more natively so I just didnt go after it and I dont know if there
is any difference between just regular OVS and DPDK OVS. I dont have a huge
requirement of insane throughput, just need to get packets from amazon back
to my lab and support overlapping subnets
This exercise was somewhat of a POC for me to see if it can be done. A lot
of Junipers documentation does not take in to account such things as ovirt
or proxmox or any linux overlay to hypervisors like it does for vmware /
vcenter which is no fault of their own. They assume flat KVM host (or 2 if
clustered) whereas stuff like ovirt can introduce variables (eg: no MAC
spoofing)

Indeed, there is this problem wiht the virtio driver which creates this ,
sometimes huge bottleneck for machines tat do a fair amount of traffic.
Other than using DPDK OVS I would love to heard an alternative or a fix for
it. Currently being hit by this issue with no solution.
As you mention for a lab is fine but would be lovely to have a pretty
redundant scenario like this in production.
