[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Allow setting boot menu on/off
by Cole Robinson
Add a new element to the <os> block:
<bootmenu enable="yes|no"/>
Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line.
I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the
bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element
as 'use hypervisor default'.

- <li>
- <em>Licensing Terms for libvirt</em>
- <p>libvirt is released under the <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-license.html">GNU Lesser
- General Public License</a>, see the file COPYING.LIB in the distribution
- for the precise wording. The only library that libvirt depends upon is
- the Xen store access library which is also licenced under the LGPL.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <em>Can I embed libvirt in a proprietary application ?</em>
- <p>Yes. The LGPL allows you to embed libvirt into a proprietary
- application. It would be graceful to send-back bug fixes and improvements
- as patches for possible incorporation in the main development tree. It
- will decrease your maintenance costs anyway if you do so.</p>
- </li>
- </ol>
- <h3>
- <a name="Installati" id="Installati">Installation</a>
- </h3>
- <ol>
- <li><em>Where can I get libvirt</em> ?
- <p>The original distribution comes from <a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/">ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/</a>.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <em>I can't install the libvirt/libvirt-devel RPM packages due to
- failed dependencies</em>
- <p>The most generic solution is to re-fetch the latest src.rpm , and
- rebuild it locally with</p>
- <p><code>rpm --rebuild libvirt-xxx.src.rpm</code>.</p>
- <p>If everything goes well it will generate two binary rpm packages (one
- providing the shared libs and virsh, and the other one, the -devel
- package, providing includes, static libraries and scripts needed to build
- applications with libvirt that you can install locally.</p>
- <p>One can also rebuild the RPMs from a tarball:</p>
- <p>
- <code>rpmbuild -ta libdir-xxx.tar.gz</code>
- </p>
- <p>Or from a configured tree with:</p>
- <p>
- <code>make rpm</code>
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <em>Failure to use the API for non-root users</em>
- <p>Large parts of the API may only be accessible with root privileges,
- however the read only access to the xenstore data doesnot have to be
- forbidden to user, at least for monitoring purposes. If "virsh dominfo"
- fails to run as an user, change the mode of the xenstore read-only socket
- with:</p>
- <p>
- <code>chmod 666 /var/run/xenstored/socket_ro</code>
- </p>
- <p>and also make sure that the Xen Daemon is running correctly with local
- HTTP server enabled, this is defined in
- <code>/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp</code> which need the following line to be
- enabled:</p>
- <p>
- <code>(xend-http-server yes)</code>
- </p>
- <p>If needed restart the xend daemon after making the change with the
- following command run as root:</p>
- <p>
- <code>service xend restart</code>
- </p>
- </li>
- </ol>
- <h3>
- <a name="Compilatio" id="Compilatio">Compilation</a>
- </h3>
- <ol>
- <li>
- <em>What is the process to compile libvirt ?</em>
- <p>As most UNIX libraries libvirt follows the "standard":</p>
- <p>
- <code>gunzip -c libvirt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -</code>
- </p>
- <p>
- <code>cd libvirt-xxxx</code>
- </p>
- <p>
- <code>./configure --help</code>
- </p>
- <p>to see the options, then the compilation/installation proper</p>
- <p>
- <code>./configure [possible options]</code>
- </p>
- <p>
- <code>make</code>
- </p>
- <p>
- <code>make install</code>
- </p>
- <p>At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or a similar utility to
- update your list of installed shared libs.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <em>What other libraries are needed to compile/install libvirt ?</em>
- <p>Libvirt requires libxenstore, which is usually provided by the xen
- packages as well as the public headers to compile against libxenstore.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <em>I use the GIT version and there is no configure script</em>
- <p>The configure script (and other Makefiles) are generated. Use the
- autogen.sh script to regenerate the configure script and Makefiles,
- like:</p>
- <p>
- <code>./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-shared</code>
- </p>
- </li>
- </ol>
- <h3><a name="Developer" id="Developer">Developer</a> corner</h3>
- <ol>
- <li>
- <em>Troubles compiling or linking programs using libvirt</em>
- <p>To simplify the process of reusing the library, libvirt comes with
- pkgconfig support, which can be used directly from autoconf support or
- via the pkg-config command line tool, like:</p>
- <p>
- <code>pkg-config libvirt --libs</code>
- </p>
- </li>

[libvirt] [PATCH] libvirt-guests: Don't throw errors if libvirtd is not installed
by Jiri Denemark
When only client parts of libvirt are installed (i.e., no libvirtd
daemon), libvirt-guests init script in its default configuration would
throw seriously looking errors during host shutdown:
Running guests on default URI: error: unable to connect to
'/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: No
such file or directory
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
This patch changes the script to print rather harmless message in that
situation:
Running guests on default URI: libvirtd not installed; skipping this
URI.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] qemu: support virtio console
by Cole Robinson
The following series adds virtio console XML and qemu driver support.
The first 3 patches are just cleanups/improvements. Patch 4 adds XML
support for more than 1 console device (not strictly required for
virtio console, but it's a valid use case). Patch 5 actually adds virtio
console support.
Thanks,
Cole

[libvirt] [PATCH] Invert logic for checking for QEMU disk cache options
by Daniel P. Berrange
QEMU has had two different syntax for disk cache options
Old: on|off
New: writeback|writethrough|none
QEMU recently added another 'unsafe' option which broke the
libvirt check. We can avoid this & future breakage, if we
do a negative check for the old syntax, instead of a positive
check for the new syntax
