[libvirt] Minor fixes to ocaml bindings for storage pools/volumes
by David Scott 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

These patches fix a couple of minor issues I encountered while trying to manipulate storage pools and volumes from an OCaml program. If you're interested, the OCaml client code is a simple adapter to allow an XCP host to use libvirt (for storage only atm, more later). The client code (so far) is here: https://github.com/djs55/xcp-libvirt-storage/blob/master/server.ml Cheers, Dave Scott http://dave.recoil.org/

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] Resolve some recently uncovered Coverity warnings
by John Ferlan 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Perhaps due to other related changes in the code paths, my daily Coverity scan uncovered a few new issues last week. It didn't seem any of the issues found were critical path, so I waited for the 1.0.3 before posting. I am running Coverity on a daily basis and trying to fine tune the "blame" algorithm. Unfortunately when changes are made in sometimes related code paths it allows Coverity to scan further thus sometimes uncovering some paths that hadn't been covered before or had been blocked by other issues Coverity uncovered in the path. I have a dialogue going with someone at Coverity regarding these types of discoveries.

[libvirt] question about ading spice and vnc hardware
by yue 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

i create VM through virt-manage. add hardware--> graphic--(spice,vnc server) i do not understand the word 'server' means, In my opinion , spice or vnc server is on KVM-HOST side, vnc,spice client connect to KVM-HOST. there are nothing to do with guestOS. why virt-manage need me to add "server"? thanks

[libvirt] [PATCH 00/16] Add ability fill driver specific defaults when parsing the XML
by Peter Krempa 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

This monster series cleans up a ton of stuff and then adds the ability to fill driver specific defaults by means of a callback. The usage is demonstrated on automaticaly filling default NIC type with qemu. The long term aim is to move all validations and default settings out of the parser.

[libvirt] [PATCHv4] virtio-rng: Add rate limiting options for virtio-RNG

Qemu's implementation of virtio RNG supports rate limiting of the entropy used. This patch exposes the option to tune this functionality.
