[Libvir] [PATCH] Check availability of driver calls
by Richard W.M. Jones 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

This is a repost of a patch I sent before which adds the ability to check for driver features. This is completely internal to libvirt and does not add any public APIs. The original discussion is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-July/thread.html#00437 and continues here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-August/thread.html#00000 Daniel Veillard said: >> +typedef int >> + (*virDrvSupportsFeature) (virConnectPtr conn, virDrvFeature feature); > >I would rather use , int features) where you OR the features, allows >to know in one call if you get what you want or not. My objection to that is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-August/msg00000.html Rich. -- Emerging Technologies, Red Hat - http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/ Registered Address: Red Hat UK Ltd, Amberley Place, 107-111 Peascod Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1TE, United Kingdom.

[Libvir] [PATCH] virDomainMigrate version 5 (repost)
by Richard W.M. Jones 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

This is a repost of version 5 patch. Previous discussion of version 5: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-July/thread.html#00357 Previous discussion of version 4: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-July/thread.html#00304 (This is separate from the feature patch, but in reality if the feature patch goes in, then I'd modify this patch slightly to make it use feature detection).

We should probably apply the change to libvirt, so that if 'NULL' is used for the connect URI for virConnectOpen, and VIRT_CONNECT_URI is set, then NULL gets substituted with the value of the env variable.

[Libvir] Set memory (decrease) from Virt Manager
by Bruce Evans 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi, I am trying to lower the amount of memory for a Domain using the Virt manager. I am denied from doing this if I want to decrease the memory below 50MB, even though I can do it from virsh. There appears to be a low end limit of 50MB in the Virt Manager. If the current memory allocation is greater than 50MB, I can decrease the amount from Virt Manager, but can't go under 50MB. But if I use virsh, I can decrease the memory to, say, 13000KB and it works. The Virt Manger will show this new amount but will only enable the 'increase' icon in the 'Change Allocation option box. The 'decrease' icon is disabled. Is this a bug in Virt Manager? If not, why can't the memory be decreased below 50MB? Thanks, -Bruce Sun Microsystems Systems Virtualiztion

[Libvir] Stability of virsh / libvirt interfaces
by John Levon 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

This has probably been discussed before so apologies. What is the current status of the interfaces, especially libvirt and virsh? Are they guaranteed to be stable? Does this apply to every new interface as soon as a release is done? (I ask after noticing that virsh schedinfo can be used to *set* parameters!) thanks john
