Re: [Libvirt-cim] regarding creating VM using libvirt-cim

Hi Sharad, Thanks for the information. We need to use CIM-Schemas, defined by DMTF, to create and work on VMs. Could you please share the following, - What are all soft-wares do I need to install to start working on this. Would be good if you can provide step step procedure for this. - What are all the hyper-visors are supported by libvirt-cim? Deos it support ESX hypervisor? - Do we have any detailed documentation/ wiki for this in addition to http://www.libvirt.org/CIM/ Best Regards Raghu ________________________________________ From: snmishra(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com [snmishra(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 9:21 PM To: Raghunatha Reddy P (raghunp) Subject: Re: [Libvirt-cim] regarding creating VM using libvirt-cim Quoting "Raghunatha Reddy P (raghunp)" <raghunp(a)cisco.com&gt;: Hi Raghu, Welcome to libvirt-cim. Best way to learn how to use libvirt-cim is to create a VM using cimtest. You can download cimtest snapshot from http://libvirt.org/git/?p=cimtest.git;a=tree. Go to cimtest directory and run the following command - CIM_NS=root/virt CIM_USER=<<YOUR USERNAME>> CIM_PASS=<<YOUR PASSWORD>> ./runtests libvirt-cim -i localhost -c -d -v KVM -g ComputerSystem -t 06_paused_active_suspend.py Replace <<YOUR USERNAME>> and <<YOUR PASSWORD>> with your username and password. You may have some missing packages that cimtest needs. Once you have them installed, you can follow the test to learn how VMs are created. There are lot more tests under cimtest which do more advanced things like adding disk/memeory/CPU to existing VM. Feel free to post on the mailing list if you have any more questions. -Sharad Mishra IBM
