[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] test: Support virStorageFindPoolSources
by Cole Robinson 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

The following series refactors the storage pool parsing code to better facilitate FindPoolSources (both for the test driver, and future pool backend implementations). The last patch implements a FindPoolSources for the test driver, with hardcoded results for test:///default. Thanks, Cole Cole Robinson (4): storage: Break out pool source parsing to a separate function. storage: Break out function to add pool source to a SourceList. storage: Add ParseSourceString function for use with FindPoolSources. test: Support virStorageFindPoolSources src/conf/storage_conf.c | 259 +++++++++++++++++++++++---------- src/conf/storage_conf.h | 7 + src/libvirt_private.syms | 2 + src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c | 65 ++++----- src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c | 9 +- src/test/test_driver.c | 75 +++++++++- 6 files changed, 291 insertions(+), 126 deletions(-)

[libvirt] [PATCH] add <bootp server="...">
by Paolo Bonzini 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

This patch adds an optional attribute to the <bootp> tag, that allows to specify a TFTP server address other than the address of the DHCP server itself. This can be used to forward the BOOTP settings of the host down to the guest.

[libvirt] New APIs for checking some object properties (v2)
by Daniel P. Berrange 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

This is a second posting of the proposal from earlier today http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-October/msg00556.html The changes since last time - Renamed some existing internal APIs which had bad names which clashed with our new public APis. - Fix the comment bugs Daniel mentioned - Change the return status from '> 0' to '1', so we can explicitly add other positive integer return codes if ever required - Implement the new APIs for (nearly) all drivers Daniel

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Fix a couple problems encountered during virInterface testing
by Laine Stump 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

When testing all the different possibilities of interfaces with the new netcf release + my latest libvirt patches (ACKed, but not yet committed), I came across some problems, addressed by the following two patches. The first patch is for a bug that crept in due to a last minute change suggested in danpb's review - I missed changing a couple places to account for changing the initial value of "ret". It could alternately be squashed into this patch, which hasn't yet been committed: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-October/msg00689.html The second patch loosens up the parsing of vlan, bond, and bridge interface XML because the live config XML doesn't know how to get those items yet. I believe the necessary items can be learned and included by the time for the *next* libvirt release, but think that the new functionality there already is too useful (and too needy of more hands to test) to delay the entire set for that long.

Hello, I am trying to start a QEMU guest with an IPv6 VNC address. I can specify the address and start the guest, but the VNC port shows up under the IPv4 list: # virsh dumpxml domU1 | grep graphics <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='no' listen='::1' keymap='en-us'/> # cat /proc/net/tcp | grep 170C 2: 00000000:170C 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 0 0 621103 1 ffff88007a043a80 299 0 0 2 -1 # cat /proc/net/tcp6 | grep 170C # # ps -ef | grep qemu root 16451 1 43 04:17 ? 00:00:18 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -S -M pc -m 128 -smp 1 -name domU1 -uuid 2aebe290-d1ed-11dd-90eb-001a64bc024c -monitor pty -pidfile /var/run/libvirt/qemu//domU1.pid -no-acpi -boot c -drive file=/tmp/default-kvm-dimage,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=11:22:33:aa:bb:cc,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=17,vlan=0 -serial none -parallel none -usb -vnc ::1:0 -k en-us I started the same guest manually, but I appended an ",ipv6' flag to the vnc option (see below). With this change, the port shows up in the IPv6 list. # /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc -m 128 -smp 1 -name domU1 -uuid 2aebe290-d1ed-11dd-90eb-001a64bc024c -monitor pty -pidfile /var/run/libvirt/qemu//domU1.pid -no-acpi -boot c -drive file=/tmp/default-kvm-dimage,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=11:22:33:aa:bb:cc,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=17,vlan=0 -serial none -parallel none -usb -vnc ::1:0,ipv6 -k en-us # cat /proc/net/tcp6 | grep 170C 2: 00000000000000000000000000000000:170C 00000000000000000000000000000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 0 0 621485 1 ffff88007a30ad00 299 0 0 2 -1 # cat /proc/net/tcp | grep 170C # I'd like to fix the qemu driver so that it specifies this flag, but I am unsure whether a guest XML change or some other change is appropriate here. Would it be better to have the qemu driver code do some detection on the address that is passed in? Thanks! -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center kaitlin(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com
