Re: [libvirt] Interface driver and ESX support
2009/9/9 Shahar Klein <shaharklein(a)yahoo.com>:
Let me rephrase my question : )
In the current libvirt infrastructure I can do a lot of things with libvirt
and a remote ESX node
I can list all the guests
I can suspend a guest
I can get a lot of node info
and much more....
can I (for example)
1. add NIC to a guest domain
The attach/detach device driver functions aren't implemented yet, but
that's on my todo list.
2. list all the physical interfaces on a node
The VI API contains methods and types to do this. It requires a new
interface driver as Chris already said. This is not implemented yet,
but that's on my todo list.
If not - what do I need to develop
should I expand the current driver
or
should I need to develop a new interface driver(like netcf)
or
maybe I can assign the current esx driver as the interface driver and expand
it to handle the relvant requests
10x again

The basic question is: How urgent is this for you? Do you need it now
or can you wait some time until I implemented it?
PS: I just finished the implementation of the driver function for
virDomainDefineXML(). I need to cleanup the patches a bit and will
post them by the end of the week, depends on how fast I can get done
some other urgent, university related work.
