[libvirt] question about ading spice and vnc hardware
by yue 05 Mar '13

05 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
by Peter Krempa 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

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

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/8] Web page updates/changes
by John Ferlan 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

I was [t]asked to make updates to the api webpage including an example of a code path from application into the driver. As I started on the task I found that the api webpage first needed a couple of updates just to fill in what seems to have been missing information. As I went through the various pages I realized that the 'better' location for the example code path seemed to be the internals page and thus I added it there. My simple example (hah!) was the virConnectOpen code path - I figured for a intro- duction to the internals web page - it'd be a good place to start. While I was doing this I used the hellolibvirt example a bit and based on information found on the 'api' page I added some more calls into the example to print network and disk information as well as more domain data. Finally while going through the pages I found a couple of places where drv pages weren't referenced although they were available, so I updated those (phyp and parallels). Hopefully I've figured things out correctly, but I'm sure if I have something a bit wrong someone will correct me. Making the figure was quite frustrating as xfig is a bit less forgiving than say office writer.

Then libvirt should also make sure that the XML we allow for non-egd virtio-rng is restricted to the two filenames that won't cause a qemu warning, or even modify the XML to not expose a filename in the first place. We haven't released libvirt 1.0.3 yet, so we still have a few hours in which such a change could be made before the XML becomes baked by a release. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
