[Libvir] OpenVZ driver enhancements
by Shuveb Hussain 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi, I'm glad to make available patches for the OpenVZ driver that provide the following features: * virDomainDefineXML - Defines an OpenVZ domain and does not start it. Takes XML description of the domain as input. * virDomainCreateLinux - Starts a domain based on the provided XML description. There is no way to start a domain in OpenVZ without defining it. So, it is defined anyway, as of now. :-( There may be a way to get around this. We are looking into it. As of now, treat this as define + start. * virDomainUndefine - removes domain from OpenVZ management. Since OpenVZ manages the domain's root file system, it is also lost. This behaviour is different from Xen. The XML Format for OpenVZ: -------------------------- <domain type='openvz'> <name>108</name> <uuid>8dea22b31d52d8f32516782e98ab8fa0</uuid> <container> <filesystem> <template>fedora-core-3-i386-minimal</template> <quota level = 'first'>123</quota> <quota level = 'second' uid = '500'>534</quota> </filesystem> <network> <ipaddress>192.168.1.108</ipaddress> <hostname>fedora-minimal</hostname> <gateway>192.168.1.1</gateway> <nameserver>192.168.1.1</nameserver> <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask> </network> <profile>vps.basic</profile> </container> </domain> The name is the VPS "ID". The VPS ID is not temporary in OpenVZ as in Xen. The "<template>" tag in the "<filesystem>" section tells libvirt which OS template cache to use to create the VPS file system. Quota is not implemented as yet. First and second level quotas are intended to be supported. The "<profile>" tag must be a valid profile name from which VPS parameter are inherited. Other things, I guess are self explanatory. Other issues: ------------- * Moved some static declarations from the header to the .c files. * Fixed a small bug that cause libvirtd to crash on remote client exit. Patches are against CVS head. Regards, -- Shuveb Hussain Unix is very user friendly. It is just a little choosy about who its friends are http://www.binarykarma.com

[Libvir] [PATCH] Show Xen vif<domid>.<n> device name in domain XML
by Richard W.M. Jones 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

This patch changes the Xen domain XML so that it shows the target device (ie. vif<domid>.<n>), which you can then use to collect interface stats. For example: # virsh dumpxml fc6_1 ... <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='xenbr0'/> <target dev='vif2.0'/> <mac address='00:16:3e:1a:2f:8c'/> <script path='vif-bridge'/> </interface> Note that this patch only adds to the XML, it doesn't change any XML that was being returned before.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Check availability of driver calls
by Richard W.M. Jones 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

This is a repost of a patch I sent before which adds the ability to check for driver features. This is completely internal to libvirt and does not add any public APIs. The original discussion is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-July/thread.html#00437 and continues here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-August/thread.html#00000 Daniel Veillard said: >> +typedef int >> + (*virDrvSupportsFeature) (virConnectPtr conn, virDrvFeature feature); > >I would rather use , int features) where you OR the features, allows >to know in one call if you get what you want or not. My objection to that is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-August/msg00000.html 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.

This is a repost of version 5 patch. Previous discussion of version 5: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-July/thread.html#00357 Previous discussion of version 4: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-July/thread.html#00304 (This is separate from the feature patch, but in reality if the feature patch goes in, then I'd modify this patch slightly to make it use feature detection).
