[libvirt] Feature request? Console tunnelling..
by r-c＠rocketmail.com 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hello libvirt-list.. Firstly I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question, I tried the IRC channel but didn't get any response... Anyway, currently libvirt has console functionality built into it that can be used on a Dom0 e.g. 'virsh console xenU' to connect and open guest xenU's console. I think it would be excellent if there could be a feature added to the libvirt daemon to operate this console externally! E.g. from an external machine I can do (in python) something like: domain.openConsole() .readConsole() .writeConsole() flushConsole()... hopefully that could be very nice to implement a remote Ajaxterm with more security and no reliance to run unnecessary services on the Dom0 since libvirtd is already running :-) I hope this makes sense, but if you perhaps thinks I going about this the wrong way please let me know! Cheers

Ah, I found the cause. ethernet0.connectionType = "custom" was a good hint. I missed to initialize one variable correctly that is only used in the ethernet0.connectionType = "custom" case. >> Could you do some basic testing beside listing and dumpxml, as I have >> currently no VMware GSX installation at hand?

Nice! Could you test the attached patch? It adds handling for the port in the URI, extends the version checking for GSX 2.0 and fixes the bug in VMX parsing. Matthias

[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: Java Libvirt bindings version 0.3.0
by Bryan Kearney 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I am happy to announce the availability of version 0.3.0 of the Libvirt Java bindings. The main change in this release is the use of JNA [1] to access the Libvirt C code instead of JNI. This results in all the glue code being pure Java which should make it easier to keep these bindings in sync with the C code. The RPMS are in fedora-testing for 10, 11 and rawhide. They will move to updates per the normal process. The code can be directly downloaded from [2]. The updated repository has been moved to git, which can be found at [3]. I am able to generate a maven repository for the bits, and was planning on putting a maven repo on libvirt.org unless folks would prefer the bits to be mirrored in a different location. Please let me know. Thanks! -- bk [1] https://jna.dev.java.net/ [2] http://www.libvirt.org/sources/java/libvirt-java-0.3.0.tar.gz [3] http://www.libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-java.git;a=summary

[libvirt] [PATCH] Remove MAX_TAP_ID

[libvirt] VMware support and Server 2.0.1
by Timo Makinen 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

I tested libvirt with VMware Server 2.0.1 (not ESX). Server starts http on port 8333 as default and libvirt api did not have any option to give port number when connecting. Maybe connecting should be changed to support uris like: esx://host:123/ Next i tried to hardcode port into libvirt and got following error: error: internal error Expecting server major/minor version '3.5' or '4.0' but found '2.0.1' I patched libvirt again and finally got connected. Well at least list command gave out list of vms. With dumpxml i got following error: virsh # dumpxml vm02 error: internal error Missing essential config entry '' - Timo
