[Libvir] Suggested list of files to rename
by Richard W.M. Jones 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

I've accumulated a collection of files in libvirt which I think should be renamed. This file is in CVS, called 'RENAMES', and attached below. What do you think? Rich. # Suggested list of file renames. # # File renames don't normally go into patches because they make # the patches much harder to read, so list them here instead. # # $Id: RENAMES,v 1.1 2007/06/11 12:25:06 rjones Exp $ # Clearer naming scheme after Xen-unified patch went in. src/xen_internal.c src/xen_internal_hv.c src/xen_internal.h src/xen_internal_hv.h src/proxy_internal.c src/xen_internal_proxy.c src/proxy_internal.h src/xen_internal_proxy.h src/xend_internal.c src/xen_internal_xend.c src/xend_internal.h src/xen_internal_xend.h src/xm_internal.c src/xen_internal_inactive.c src/xm_internal.h src/xen_internal_inactive.h src/xs_internal.c src/xen_internal_xenstore.c src/xs_internal.h src/xen_internal_xenstore.h src/xen_unified.c src/xen_internal.c src/xen_unified.h src/xen_internal.h # Test driver should really be called test_internal. src/test.c src/test_internal.c src/test.h src/test_internal.h # This would be better: src/*_internal*.c src/*_driver*.c src/*_internal*.h src/*_driver*.h # Qemud is now the qemud + remote driver. qemud/protocol.x qemud/qemud_protocol.x qemud/* remote/* -- Emerging Technologies, Red Hat - http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/ Registered Address: Red Hat UK Ltd, Amberley Place, 107-111 Peascod Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1TE, United Kingdom.

[Libvir] PATCH: Fix bridge device handling with xm config files
by Daniel P. Berrange 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

The code for parsing xm config files & generating XML forgot to add in the <source bridge='xenbr0'> elements if an explicit bridge is requested. The reverse direction was already implemeneted.

[Libvir] [PATCH] add bootloader_args to libvirt xml to support bootloaders (like pypxeboot for example) that require arguments
by Hugh Brock 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

This patch extends libvirt's XML to include a paramater Xen already supports in sexpr, "bootloader_args." The bootloader_args parameter lets you pass arguments -- "mac=aa:12:34:56:78:90" for example -- to a bootloader program that xend invokes when it starts a guest. One such program, pypxeboot, uses the mac= argument to communicate with a dhcp server and retrieve the pxeboot kernel and initrd for a paravirt guest. The patch includes new tests for the bootloader_args XML and sexpr, which pass. Note that for the head of current libvirt, the virsh tests do not pass and virsh will not connect to the xen hypervisor. I don't know if this is my own build environment or some other issue. However the failure is the same with or without this patch, so I am submitting it anyway. Please let me know what you think... --Hugh -- 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] tentative next release tomorrow
by Daniel Veillard 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

We piled up a lot of patches since 0.2.2, I guess it is time for a new release, so I will try to push 0.2.3 out tomorrow morning. Give a try to the version in CVS (or a recent snapshot), thanks, Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/

[Libvir] [PATCH] output virsh log to file
by Nobuhiro Itou 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

Hi, I made the patch which output debug messages and error messages of virsh to the log file. I think that it is necessary to leave logs to the file for the investigation at the failure. Debug messages can take appointed optional information, and error messages will make it easy to specify a cause. Moreover, I'm thinking about outputting virterror information to the virsh log file by the next step. It is simple specifications as follows. * Destination -- <USER HOME>/.virsh/virsh.log * Log size -- 1MB(1024*1024) * Number of Rotations -- 5 * There is process exclusion. First, will you take in this patch ? And, I have a plan to enhance logging functionality. (for example, libvirt error logging) Signed-off-by: Nobuhiro Itou <fj0873gn(a)aa.jp.fujitsu.com> Thanks, Nobuhiro Itou.
