Hi all,
I've also got some ideas like following for GSOC 2013.
Storage driver jobs.
Currently, there is no Libvirt storage API to rename storage volume,
storage pool, snapshot, etc. There is also no Libvirt API to move
volume from one pool to another using libvirt API. Possibly those
pools could have different backend (lvm, dir, ...). So i wanna finish
these jobs for Libvirt during GSOC 2013. See following in details.
1, Rename storage volume. I will develop ' virsh vol-rename xxx'
option for virsh tool.
2, Rename storage pool. I will develop 'virsh pool-rename xxx'
option for virsh tool.
3, Rename snapshot. I will develop 'virsh snapshot-rename xxx'
option for virsh tool.
I am not sure we want *rename virsh commands. Not only for storage, but
in general. And even if we do want these, they don't require a new API.
They can be implemented with simple vir*GetXML(); vir*Define();
vir*Undefine();
4, Move volume from one pool to another. I will develop 'virsh vol-move xxx'
option for virsh tool.
This one makes more sense, however I am worried about difficulty a bit.
A GSoC project should take 3 months for a student to complete. This is
something that even unexperienced user can accomplish in less than a month.
Well, currently, these are just good ideas for Libvirt GSOC 2013. I will
give detail design plan for these stuffs according to the workflow of GSOC.
Could anyone give me some suggestions?
Thanks very much in advance.
