Hi Daniel, I've added some notes (lines starting with **) to the LDoms XML examples to show some semantics for the current XML tags/formats. Please see the attached files and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Eunice Daniel Veillard wrote:

Hi,
As John mentioned, the LDoms Manager (ldm) XML interface has been used by a different set of software such as SNMP MIB, BUI, and other tools/applications (before the libvirt), so we can't really change the ldm XML formats.
I understood the existing format comes from other legacy uses, no problem for me, looking at the second XML example made that clear :-)
But, I will look into the way (conversion between the LDoms XML and libvirt XML formats) to make it compatible with the official libvirt.
I can give an hand, it's probably also a good opportunity to refactor a lot of the XML handling code coming from the patch since we will have to change the way things are done. The hardest for me is understand the semantic of the current document, we need this anyway to find how to best map things onto the libvirt XML format (and back). Then for the revamp of the conversion code i can probably do part of it, and probably faster than you considering expertise on libxml2 ;-)
But I really need a good description of the current XML format,
Daniel
