[Libvir] feature sujestions
by Márcio Parise Boufleur 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Hello, I'm a grad student from Brazil. I was looking for some interesting project to do as my final work and it I think that contributing to your project would be a great achievement to me. Do you have some kind list with feature suggestions? I am particularly interested in remote administration. I helped a colleague to write a graphical tool to administrate a remote Xen site last year. Thank you. MB -- Computers are useless; they can only give you answers! -- Picasso

[Libvir] Compiling libvirt v0.3.2 on centos5
by Meng Kuan 05 Sep '07

Hi, Here is what I did when I tried to upgrade the libvirt on my centos5 system to the latest version. sudo yum install python-devel xen-devel libxml2-devel readline- devel gnutls-devel wget ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.3.2-1.src.rpm sudo rpmbuild --rebuild libvirt-0.3.2-1.src.rpm ... ...

Any ideas? Should I just install the binary packages instead of building from source? cheers, mengkuan

[Libvir] libvirt on Windows
by Ronald Long 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

I am trying to talk to a 4.0.1 Xen Hypervisor (not Xen underneath a Linux Distro) (via Python) from a Windows box. (Am able to successfully connect and communicate using the Xen API Python bindings). Looks like at the very least I need to build libvirtmon.la from the c sources. Am I just dealing with "beginneritis", or trying to do something (run from Windows) that hasn't been done before? thanks ronald

[Libvir] Ruby bindings for libvirt
by Meng Kuan 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi, I am exploring the possibility of creating ruby bindings for libvirt. The only attempt I found after some searching is this: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~ckrintz/racelab/jisha/ Following the SWIG method as described in the above URL, I have gotten to the following point: [root@dell1 libvirt_ruby]# irb irb(main):001:0> require 'libvirt_ruby' => true irb(main):002:0> conn = Libvirt_ruby.virConnectOpenReadOnly("") => #<SWIG::TYPE_p__virConnect:0x2aaaaabc46c8> irb(main):003:0> dom = Libvirt_ruby.virDomainLookupByID(conn, 0) => #<SWIG::TYPE_p__virDomain:0x2aaaaabb5df8> irb(main):004:0> ret = Libvirt_ruby.virDomainGetInfo(dom, info) NameError: undefined local variable or method `info' for main:Object from (irb):4 irb(main):005:0> I am not sure how to create and pass in a ptr to a virDomainInfo struct object into the virDomainGetInfo call within ruby. Note that I was trying to following the info1.c example on the libvirt website: http://libvirt.org/examples/info1.c As you can tell, this is the first time I am trying to create any sort of language bindings for a C library. Some questions: 1. Is there a better way of creating ruby bindings for libvirt besides SWIG? If so, any pointers on what should be done? 2. Alternatively I can try to make my ruby code use libvirt-python bindings as a python library. Has anyone done so? Any problems with this approach? cheers, mengkuan

[Libvir] --without-*
by Mark Johnson 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hi all, Merging up to 0.3.2 on Solaris finally.. I had a couple of things on my list of hacked patches, and not being a configure expert I figured I would ask here... How hard it is to change the config logic to account for the various --without's. e.g. --without-qemu, o ./Makefile.in - SUBDIRS shouldn't include qemud o ./src/Makefile.in o am__objects_1 shouldn't include: o libvirt_la-bridge.lo o libvirt_la-iptables.lo o libvirt_la-qemu_driver.lo o libvirt_la-qemu_conf.lo o client sources, build rules, etc for the above. --without-test (Incuding srcs, rules, etc) o libvirt_la-test.lo, etc... --without-xen (Incuding srcs, rules, etc) o libvirt_la-xen_internal.lo o libvirt_la-xs_internal.lo o libvirt_la-xend_internal.lo --without-remote (Incuding srcs, rules, etc) o libvirt_la-remote_internal.lo o am_libvirt_la_OBJECTS shouldn't include am__objects_2 One other thing I was curious about... I noticed the remote code uses remote_protocol* out of the ./qemud dir.. I was just curious if I should expect that to move somewhere else soon, or if you were going to leave it there? Thanks, Mark.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Fix endless loop of VirBufferVSprintf()
by Masayuki Sunou 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hi VirBufferVSprintf() loops endless when it receives over 2000 bytes, because the return value of vsnprintf() is more than "size - 1". It is because the maximum of "size" is 1999 bytes. --> the maximum of "buf->size - buf->use" = 2000 (1000(argument of virBufferGrow()) + 1000(set in virBufferGrow())) So, virBufferEscapeString() has the same problem. This patch sets to virBufferGrow() the size of the data which VirBufferVSprintf()(virBufferEscapeString()) received when it is over 1000 bytes.

[Libvir] ANNOUNCE: virt-top 0.3.2.5 released
by Richard W.M. Jones 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

I'm pleased to announce a new release of virt-top, which is a utility like 'top' that works for virtual machines. Many keys and command line options are the same as for ordinary top. Thanks to all the people who have been playing with it and sending me feedback. This version adds block device and network statistics (if supported by the hypervisor and libvirt). This version also fixes a bug where it would fail silently if unable to contact the hypervisor. Main page: http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-top/ Source and binaries for several architectures available from: http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-top/download.html If you have Fedora 7, this will probably work: yum --enablerepo=development install virt-top Rich. -- 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] TX/RX network stats are swapped
by Richard W.M. Jones 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

I noticed that the stats reported by virDomainInterfaceStats appeared to be swapped around. If the domain was downloading a lot of information, then tx_bytes would increase quickly (I'd expect rx_bytes to increase more if the domain was downloading). The problem is that xen_internal.c measures the TX/RX from the point of view of dom0. So that if dom0 is TRANSMITTING a lot of data up to the domain, then that domain is really RECEIVING it. Yes, I feel like an idiot ... Fix attached.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Block device and network stats (version 2)
by Richard W.M. Jones 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

This patch adds block device and network stats. The main changes over the previous version are: * Remote support. * Change Xen network interface names to have the form "vif<domid>.<n>"[1]. Discussions about the previous version may be found starting here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-August/thread.html#00064 I have left use of stdint.h / int64_t, since it wasn't clear to me what conclusion people had arrived at. I left the explicit structure size parameter to allow for future extensibility. Also attached is the output of: virsh -c xen+tls://amd/ domifstat fc6_1 vif2.0 Rich. [1] There is currently no way to get the interface name except to just know it -- that is the subject of a separate patch. -- 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.
