[Libvir] [PATCH] Solaris dom0 support
by Mark Johnson 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

This is a little bigger of a patch. It has a couple of things in it. First, in xen_internal.c and xs_internal.c have general dom0 support for Solaris. Again, using #ifdef/ifndef __linux__ to separate the logic. In xml.c and xend_internal.c, the code which requires kernel to be defined if ifdef __linux__'d. For our setup, If bootloader, kernel, and ramdisk aren't defined, pygrub will got looking for the right bits. There also code which puts in the the vncpasswd in xend_internal.c. This is the last patch I'll send out for today... Mark

[Libvir] libvirt ./configure
by Mark Johnson 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

Just thought I'd throw a note to you.. I notice that if I do a configure on fedora7 as a user I get the following... checking If XenD UNIX socket /var/run/xend/xmlrpc.sock is accessible... no Which works when you do a configure as root. Not sure what your using that for so not sure if it's a problem.. Mark

[Libvir] Storage manager initial requirements and thoughts
by Hugh Brock 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

Hi all. At the Red Hat virtualization team meeting last week we spent some time talking about the problem of remote storage management, which is a requirement for at the very least creating remote guests. Remote storage management also delivers a lot of benefits for managing guest storage, provisioning, and a host of other issues. Note that we don't (I think) believe that storage management should be part of libvirt. However we might want to be able to grab storage information with libvirt when creating a guest, for example. Here's the tentative requirements we came up with, along with several questions that came up. We have two important use cases for remote storage management: --Create a new guest against an existing physical device --Create a new guest against a file on an existing physical device (SELinux context must match up on both) Requirements: 2 key requirements: enumerate devices, create files * Enumerate devices (unallocated disks) * storage pool * Unallocated space * Allocated volumes -- free -- in use * Read only / Read-write * Host availability * Volume -- Global unique name -- Local device name -- Usage -- Mounted locally -- Assigned to guest read only shared exclusive -- Inactive guest * Create a backing store for a guest * need to know what storage is available * Can be plain file * Can be a physical partition (local scsi/IDE, SAN) * Can be a logical volume * Can be network - iscsi/nbd Cases: Physical device --> create partitions Volume group --> create logical volumes Directory --> create files Todos: Investigate gparted, one of the partition management tools we already have (apis? remote accessibility?) (I believe Jim Meyering volunteered to take a look at this?) Identify what other scenarios we need to address. Please comment; I'm hoping we can get these into a more definite form sooner rather than later. -- Red Hat Virtualization Group http://redhat.com/virtualization Hugh Brock | virt-manager http://virt-manager.org hbrock(a)redhat.com | virtualization library http://libvirt.org

[Libvir] [PATCH] setvcpus message
by Mark Johnson 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

This patch is probably not correct. I wasn't sure how to handle I18N in libvirt. Had a request to add an error message for setvcpus <domain> 0. This patch prints an error message for that case. Mark

This handles net-list, etc. a little more gracefully for Xen. Mark

[Libvir] Solaris patches applied
by Richard W.M. Jones 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

I applied the easy ones: * src/internal.h, src/virsh.c: Replace _N with N_ so that Solaris builds work (Mark Johnson). * src/virsh.c: Add a couple of missing error messages (Mark Johnson). * python/types.c: Fix NULL pointer deref on DEBUG build (Mark Johnson). * src/virsh.c: Spelling fix (Mark Johnson). I can't test if it works on Solaris, but it still builds on Linux. Now to look at the last patch you sent ... Thanks for your contribution to libvirt.
