Re: [Libvirt-cim] regarding configuration to be used to create a VM
libvirt-cim is used as a bridge to convert standard CIM model call to libvirt functions,
here is a example to make a
call to create a VM. You can modify it with your resource settings(such as image
place,name), save it to a xml file,
and using "wbemexec" tool to give a try, such as wbemexec create_vm.xml. Not
sure if there is a lib converting
OVF files.

主题：[Libvirt-cim] regarding configuration to be used to create a VM
Hi All,
We are interested to create/delete/update a VM using libvirt-CIM. Could you please help
us to understand what is the standard/common format to be used as input for the
libvirt-cim to create a VIM? Can we use OVF to create a VM? If so, are there any libraries
which can convert OVF file to libvirt understandable xml format and vice versa?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards
Raghu
