Patching libvirt to allow the 4.0 API version allows me to connect and list guests, but trying to dumpxml a guest definition fails:
virsh # dumpxml alvis error: memory conf:1: expecting a name
What's the content of line number 1 of the alvis.vmx file?
The first two lines are: .encoding = "UTF-8" config.version = "8" Looking at an ESX3i one I see the .encoding line is not there so I guess that is the problem.
Then again dumpxml fails for me with ESX3i as well, though with a different error:
virsh # dumpxml bsa error: internal error Missing essential config entry 'scsi0.virtualDev'
Oh, that's a bug in the VMX parsing code, I'll fix that. The VMX parsing hasn't get much testing with in-the-wild VMX files yet. It would be useful if you could send my some of your VMX files to build up a pool as input for automatic testing and to make the VMX parser more robust.
You could apply this quick fix for testing:
That works, yes. Tom -- Tom Hughes (tom@compton.nu) http://www.compton.nu/
