[Libvir] suspend/resume == pause/unpause?
by Diwaker Gupta 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

'xm' uses pause/unpause. libvirt uses suspend/resume. It seems they are the same. IMHO this should be made explicit in the documentation (I'm looking at the python help for libvirt). Diwaker -- Web/Blog/Gallery: http://floatingsun.net/blog

[Libvir] Simple python examples
by David Lutterkort 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Attached are a few simple python scripts that might be nice to add to CVS as examples on using the python API for libvirt. The examples also contain some XML files that describe domains; obviously users will have to modify them. David

[Libvir] Minimal specfile addition
by David Lutterkort 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

I just tried to rebuild the libvirt RPM on a rawhide box; the specfile is missing a BuildRequires for readline-devel (and probably a Requires for readline). Trivial patch attached. David

[Libvir] virDomainKernelPtr
by Bryan D. Payne 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I noticed that there's a struct virDomainKernel in libvirt.h, but there aren't any functions that populate the struct yet. Could anyone comment on how close such a function is to becoming available. If it's underway, great :-) Otherwise, would the developers be interested in someone else working on a patch? -bryan - Bryan D.

[Libvir] Release of libvirt-0.0.6
by Daniel Veillard 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

This release focuses on error handling. There are new APIs defined in <virterror.h> defining synchronous and asynchronous error access, I augmented the docs, and fixed a few minor bugs. I din't had time to extend the XML format with various thing requested like uuid but hopefully that will be in next release: * add error handling APIs both synchronous and asynchronous * added minimal hook for error handling at the python level, improved the python bindings * augment the documentation and tests to cover error handling See http://libvirt.org/errors.html and http://libvir.org/html/libvirt-virterror.html for more informations, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat http://redhat.com/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/

[Libvir] IP address and MAC info in XMLDesc
by Diwaker Gupta 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Are there plans to include IP address and MAC info in XMLDesc? I'm interested because I would like to move to libvirt for VM management, but currently my scripts use a lot of options in 'xm create' that are not yet supported by libvirt. Diwaker -- Web/Blog/Gallery: http://floatingsun.net/blog

[Libvir] Report UUID in XMLDesc
by Diwaker Gupta 26 Feb '06

26 Feb '06

Since we have a lookupByUUID() method, I thought it would be nice to report UUID in XMLDesc as well. It could be ignored while creating a VM, just like the 'id' attribute is currently ignored. What do people think about this? Diwaker -- Web/Blog/Gallery: http://floatingsun.net/blog

[Libvir] xmldump doesn't work
by Diwaker Gupta 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

Hi, I'm running libvirt from CVS. I'm unable to get xmldump to work: o virsh dumpxml <domain-id> doesn't work. Neither does <domain-name> instead of domain-id. (Aside: the documentation at http://libvirt.org/format.html needs fixing -- virsh reports a dumpxml command, but no xmldump command) o I can't get an XML dump from the Python bindings either. Looking at the code, it seems the XML description is built using the sexpr output from xend. On my machine, "xm list -l <domain-id>" prints out the correct sexpr, so it seems Xend is working fine. Am I missing something? Thanks, Diwaker -- Web/Blog/Gallery: http://floatingsun.net/blog

[Libvir] devhelp missing
by Diwaker Gupta 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

After the latest pull tonight, I'm getting errors regarding a missing docs/devhelp/Makefile. Just FYI Diwaker PS: since the website has moved to libvirt.org, and the library is being called libvirt, perhaps its a better idea to rename the mailing list as well to libvirt-list? -- Web/Blog/Gallery: http://floatingsun.net/blog
