[Libvir] [PATCH] increase storage domains of a definition file
by S.Sakamoto 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hi, When I install by virt-intall with long command (e.g."# /usr/sbin/virt-install --name testvm --ram 350 --vcpus 2 --file /root/test.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp02.img -- file-size 1 --file /root/tmp03.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp04.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp05.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp06.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp07.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp08.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp09.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp10.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp11.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp12.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp13.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp14.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp15.img --file-size 1 --file /root/tmp16.img --file-size 1 --vnc --paravirt --location ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx/rhel5ga_x86 --noautoconsole -- debug"), put out "abort". Because a definition file is long, it overflows from buffer. So, this patch increase buffer size. Signed-off-by: Shigeki Sakamoto <fj0588di(a)aa.jp.fujitsu.com> Thanks, Shigeki Sakamoto.

[Libvir] Proposed remote protocol (XDR source file qemud/remote_protocol.x)
by Richard W.M. Jones 01 May '07

01 May '07

Attached are the args (*_args) and return structures (*_ret) for all the calls covered by the remote protocol, that is to say everything except Save, Restore and CoreDump (see previous email). The only problem area are the upper limits imposed on the lengths of various strings and arrays. The upper limits seem to be required for safely decoding messages from untrusted sources. Some of them however would impose limits on such things as the number of CPUs supported, and perhaps those limits are too low (or too high)? I don't really have any experience of the sort of huge machines that people might be running libvirt on.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Xen proxy - adds getCapabilities call

Seems to me that it should be safe to allow non-root callers to use the getCapabilities call over the Xen proxy. This patch adds that feature.

[Libvir] [PATCH] Fix xen-unified to work in non-root case
by Richard W.M. Jones 01 May '07

01 May '07

Xen-unified introduced a stupid bug, down to me, when running in the non-root case. It didn't keep track of which drivers successfully opened, so will try and perform operations on drivers which didn't open. I suggest that if people approve of the attached patch, then it is applied with some urgency.

[Libvir] Difference between API functions virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains and virConnectNumOfDomains
by Jan Michael 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hello libvirt fellows, I have some problems to distinguish between those function calls in libvirt API: > virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains > virConnectNumOfDomains The API description states on both function that they will return me the number of active domain. Am I right if I assume that the first function virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains returns me all defined, but necessarily not running domains, and the second one only running and therefore active domains? Can you please help me and clarify this? Didn't had the chance to test this so far. But I will do so asap. Maybe the API documentation has to be updated in this point. Cheers, Jan

[Libvir] plans to support vde_switch ?

Hello everybody, I am working on a project where I found vde_switch (http://vde.sourceforge.net/) very useful. It is based on uml_switch from the UML project. Are there any plans to support it in libvirt? Thanks. Adrian
