[libvirt] VMware ESX: Allow ethernet address type 'vpx'
by Matthias Bolte
The VMX entry ethernet0.addressType may be set to 'vpx' beside
'static' and 'generated'. 'vpx' indicates that the MAC address was
generated by a vCenter.
The attached patch adds 'vpx' to the valid values for ethernet0.addressType.

Tested libvirt-0.7.0 today.
And this requirement really breaks installation of builds on RHEL/CentOS/ScientificLinux.
The newest available built for glusterfs is those systems is glusterfs-client-1.3.8 from freshrpms.
Even --without-storage-fs does not help a bit, must be pulled in implicitly?
rpm -pq --requires libvirt-0.7.0-1.x86_64.rpm
(...)
glusterfs-client >= 2.0.1
(...)
Is this patched in upcoming 0.7.1 or how could i go around this issue?

[libvirt] UML driver struct refers to public API functions
by Matthias Bolte
Hi,
The commit "Generic shared impls of all NUMA apis"
(b0b968efd56f6c66bfa23eebbecd491ea993f99b) changed the UML driver
struct to use the shared NUMA API. But now the UML driver struct
refers to the public API functions:
virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory
virNodeGetFreeMemory
instead of the shared NUMA API functions
nodeGetCellsFreeMemory
nodeGetFreeMemory
This results in an infinite recursion, if someone's going to call
virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory with an UML connection.

I found the type of id was identified as number( obj->type ==

I think correct path is to go in the first if context( obj->type ==
XPATH_STRING ) and run strtol.
Then I tried with following XML.

Maybe this is the first step to go forward.

[libvirt] PATCH: Don't blindly reorder disk drives
by Daniel P. Berrange
Calling qsort() on the disks array causes disk to be
unneccessarily re-ordered, potentially breaking the
ability to boot if the boot disk gets moved later in
the list. The new algorithm will insert a new disk as
far to the end of the list as possible, while being
ordered correctly wrt other disks on the same bus.
* src/domain_conf.c, src/domain_conf.h: Remove disk sorting
routines. Add API to insert a disk into existing list at
the optimal position, without resorting disks
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virDomainDiskInsert
* src/xend_internal.c, src/xm_internal.c: Remove calls to
qsort, use virDomainDiskInsert instead.
* src/qemu_driver.c: Remove calls to qsort, use virDoaminDiskInsert
instead. Fix reordering bugs when hotunplugging disks and
networks. Fix memory leak in disk/net unplug

[libvirt] Add support for (qcow*) volume encryption (v4)
by Miloslav Trmač
Hello,
the following patches add full support for qcow/qcow2 volume encryption,
assuming a client that supports it.
(Main changes since the previous version:
* Add "flags" argument to virSecretDefineXML(), virSecretGetXMLDesc(),
virSecretSetValue(), virSecretGetValue()
* Various clean-ups and bug fixes in the local secret storage driver
* Make the Python API more consistent with other objects
See the specific patch change logs for more details; patches without
change logs are unchanged.)
New XML tags are defined to represent encryption parameters (currently
format and passphrase, more can be added in the future), e.g.
<encryption format='qcow'>
<secret type='passphrase'
uuid='724d95f2-0ed2-6ff9-84d0-0f3d1618428d'/>
</encryption>
The <encryption> tag can be added to a <volume> node passed to
virStorageVolCreateXML() to create an encrypted volume, or to a
<disk> node inside a <domain> to specify what encryption parameters to
use for a domain.
uuid above refers to a separately-managed secret, which was created
using virSecretDefineXML() and set using virSecretSetValue(). Other
properties of the secret can be managed using an XML representation.
Detailed documentation of the formats and features is inside the patches.

[libvirt] Create a Domain from windows client
by anuj rampal
Hi all,
I'm trying to call the libvirt API from my Windows machine.
When i try to create to a Domain using "virDomainDefineXML" function
I have to pass an XML file containing the Description of the Domain.
Here is the part of the XML file that im using:
<domain type='qemu' id='1'>
..
..
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu</emulator>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXp.img'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<source file='/home/anuj/ISOs/WinXpSp3/Windows_XP_SP3.iso'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
..
..
</domain>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXp.img'/>
This is the path which contains the img file for the Domain.
I have created this file using this command:
qemu-img create -f raw /var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXp.img 10G
*Now: my question is:*
Is there a way by which i can create this img file using some libvirt call
directly and then use this for my domain creation.
Or modify the XML file itself so that virDomainDefineXML call creates the
img file at the path and the size that i specify.
Could someone also give me some example for the same.
Regards
Anuj

[libvirt] libvirt and "kvm -cpu=qemu32" problem
by Scaldov M.V.
Problem is that the images of windows 2003 server, windows 2000 and
some other do not start and go to BSOD due to processor mismatch if
they were created under either qemu or vmware, or from
bare-metal installed OS.
By default libvirt starts kvm with "-cpu=qemu32" option instead of, for
example, "-cpu=pentium3".
There is patch for libvirt-0.6.5 to avoid this problem.
Now libvirt takes into account <cpumodel> node from .xml domain config,
which overrides libvirt's default -cpu option for kvm.
I think, this patch is vital, because of it helps to avoid a waste of
time with reinstalling and reconfiguring windows server images.
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>w2k3s</name>
<uuid>e2725d10-7ada-4f71-eea7-fa6cc1a541ee</uuid>
<memory>262144</memory>
<currentMemory>262144</currentMemory>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>
<cpumodel>pentium3</cpumodel> <------
<os>
<type arch='i686'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
Sorry for not patching GIT-version, GIT is hard to compile in a small
time.
