Re: [libvirt] Using Xen config files

That way you can just use for example 'virsh dumpxml' to get the associated XML for the defined domain. Basically at the API level you do a domain lookup based on the name (virDomainLookupByName) or UUID, and then call virDomainGetXMLDesc() on the result. Those calls are available at the python binding. But there is no direct API to convert Xen config files to the XML, and Xen config files being python code actually this didn't made sense to try to expose it at the API level which is defined in C. The definitions really use XML as the format for libvirt, and as much as possible they are not tied to the specifics of a given hypervisor. http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
