question of DestinationSystem meaning in MigrateVirtualSystemToSystem method
by Guo Lian Yun 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi, I'm a little confusing of MigrateVirtualSystemToSystem method，who can tell me what does "DestinationSystem" refer to? It different from DestinationHost which can be passed by a simple ip address. As a reference, the DestinationSystem's Name have to be parsed below. Then what on earth does it mean? if (cu_get_str_path(dsys, "Name", &dname) != CMPI_RC_OK) { cu_statusf(_BROKER, &s, CMPI_RC_ERR_FAILED, "Missing key (Name) in DestinationSystem"); METHOD_RETURN(results, 1); return s; } Thanks!

[PATCH 0 of 2] ComputerSystemModifiedIndication, not an RFC anymore
by Jay Gagnon 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Looks like it's finally something that is ready for the tree. The first patch basically just takes what I had before and puts it in with ComputerSystemIndication, then the second patch does some actual integration work.

[PATCH 0 of 2] [RFC] ComputerSystemModifiedIndication
by Jay Gagnon 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

This is still pretty rough around the edges but it seems functional enough that it's worth showing, and I've got a few spots where I could use some input. Right now it does in fact notice a domain that changes and fires an indication. The "previous instance" embedded object has it's Name and UUID fields filled in; I couldn't find any other fields that seemed terribly relevant to fill in. The places where I could use some advice: In _lifecycle_indication, the get_typed_instance args are mostly hardcoded. This seems rather bad, but I'm not quite sure where I should get them. It's not like I have a reference being passed in to pull that out of. The entire sys_name_from_xml feels like an abomination, but sscanf falls short and full xml parsing seems way overkill. Any suggestions on how to make it safer/more sane are welcome. In async_ind, I once again use some hardcoded values because I'm not sure where to get them. In lifecycle_thread, I use lv_connect because I don't think I have the requisite info for the preferred method, but AFAIK lv_connect usage is frowned upon now. I also am not sure what to do here when I get errors. Should I terminate the event loop? Where would I even return an error message to the client?

Xen_ElementCapabilities qurey error list
by Guo Lian Yun 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi, Beside the former error report of query Xen_HostSystem from Xen_VirtualSystemManagementCapabilities according to Xen_ElementCapabilities association, that is to say, with a non exist VirtualSystemManagementCapabilities, we can still get excepted result as following. wbemcli ain -ac Xen_ElementCapabilities http://root:password@localhost/root/virt:Xen_VirtualSystemManagementCapabil…" wrong" localhost:5988/root/virt:Xen_HostSystem.CreationClassName="Xen_HostSystem",Name="wks230838wss.cn.ibm.com" Meanwhile, other associations have the same problems. With a non exist ComputerSystem instance, we can still get expected association. wbemcli ain -ac Xen_ElementCapabilities http://root:password@localhost/root/virt:Xen_ComputerSystem.CreationClassNa…"Xen_ComputerSystem",Name=" wrong" localhost:5988/root/virt:Xen_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities.InstanceID="wrong" However, there is no error report when I do invalid reverse query of Xen_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities. wbemcli ain -ac Xen_ElementCapabilities http://root:password@localhost/root/virt:Xen_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilit…" wrong" As we know, Xen_AllocationCapabilities associate with ResourcePool by Xen_ElementCapabilities. There are still errors from two sides querying. wbemcli ain -ac Xen_ElementCapabilities http://root:password@localhost/root/virt:Xen_AllocationCapabilities.Instanc…"ProcessorPool/0" * * wbemcli: Cim: (7) CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: The requested operation is not supported * wbemcli ain -ac Xen_ElementCapabilities http://root:password@localhost/root/virt:Xen_MemoryPool.InstanceID="wrong" localhost:5988/root/virt:Xen_AllocationCapabilities.InstanceID="wrong" Please who can have a look into them? Thanks! Best, Regards Daisy Guo Lian Yun E-mail: yunguol(a)cn.ibm.com IBM China Development Lab, Shanghai, China TEL: (86)-21-61008057

[PATCH 0 of 5] VSMS support for KVM/XenFV
by Dan Smith 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

This set adds the necessary bits to be able to minimally define KVM and XenFV domains. It allows me to create valid KVM guests. It sidesteps a couple of the issues we'll need to tackle at some point, like how to convey the appropriate virtual network for a KVM interface, etc. Comments welcome.

[PATCH] [RFC] Update VSSD schemas for FullVirt

In the implementation, a "false" or missing value for the flag will indicate paravirt-ness. For KVM, I added the boot device as well, since that's something it will always need. For both, a missing boot device will imply "hd". Comments? Additions?
