Hi, I have a question about virsh --quiet specification. It seems virsh --quiet option supress virsh interactive mode boot-message and vshPrintExtra only.(not includes vshPrint) This is supposed specification. Thanks Atsushi SAKAI

We should probably apply the change to libvirt, so that if 'NULL' is used for the connect URI for virConnectOpen, and VIRT_CONNECT_URI is set, then NULL gets substituted with the value of the env variable.

[Libvir] Set memory (decrease) from Virt Manager
by Bruce Evans 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi, I am trying to lower the amount of memory for a Domain using the Virt manager. I am denied from doing this if I want to decrease the memory below 50MB, even though I can do it from virsh. There appears to be a low end limit of 50MB in the Virt Manager. If the current memory allocation is greater than 50MB, I can decrease the amount from Virt Manager, but can't go under 50MB. But if I use virsh, I can decrease the memory to, say, 13000KB and it works. The Virt Manger will show this new amount but will only enable the 'increase' icon in the 'Change Allocation option box. The 'decrease' icon is disabled. Is this a bug in Virt Manager? If not, why can't the memory be decreased below 50MB? Thanks, -Bruce Sun Microsystems Systems Virtualiztion

[Libvir] Stability of virsh / libvirt interfaces
by John Levon 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

This has probably been discussed before so apologies. What is the current status of the interfaces, especially libvirt and virsh? Are they guaranteed to be stable? Does this apply to every new interface as soon as a release is done? (I ask after noticing that virsh schedinfo can be used to *set* parameters!) thanks john

[Libvir] [PATCH] Check the version of Xen in xenDaemonAttachDevice()
by Masayuki Sunou 17 Aug '07

Hi When virsh attach-disk/attach-interface is executed in < Xen 3.0.4, the OS type of domain is NULL in xenDaemonAttachDevice(). As a result, the command becomes segmentation fault.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Check a value in vshCommandOptInt()
by Masayuki Sunou 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi When the option which should set a number is set a character which is not a number, the value is changed into 0 in libvirt. It causes the movement not expected. ex) # virsh vcpupin dom_name A 0,1 => VCPU0 is pinned without the command becoming the error. This patch fixes it by checking the value in vshCommandOptInt().

[Libvir] Networking functions in libvirt
by Bruce Evans 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hello, I am now starting to investigate the networking driver callback functions in libvirt. struct _virNetworkDriver { virDrvOpen open; virDrvClose close; virDrvNumOfNetworks numOfNetworks; virDrvListNetworks listNetworks; virDrvNumOfDefinedNetworks numOfDefinedNetworks; virDrvListDefinedNetworks listDefinedNetworks; virDrvNetworkLookupByUUID networkLookupByUUID; virDrvNetworkLookupByName networkLookupByName; virDrvNetworkCreateXML networkCreateXML; virDrvNetworkDefineXML networkDefineXML; virDrvNetworkUndefine networkUndefine; virDrvNetworkCreate networkCreate; virDrvNetworkDestroy networkDestroy; virDrvNetworkDumpXML networkDumpXML; virDrvNetworkGetBridgeName networkGetBridgeName; virDrvNetworkGetAutostart networkGetAutostart; virDrvNetworkSetAutostart networkSetAutostart; }; My question is from the point of view of the Virtual Manager GUI. From the controls available in the GUI, what actions are intended to be done, via the network callback functions? Are the actions only client related? Create a vnet, vdisk, etc? Or are they also intended for server actions, create a switch service, disk service, etc? There is no example in the test.c program, so I don't have any example to look at. Also, is there any documentation describing the network callback functions? TIA, -Bruce Evans Sun Microsystems Systems Virtualization
