In a perfect world you'd also want to use the lifecycle events, so you only need call ListDomains/ListDefinedDomains once, and then get explicit notifications of new virDomainPtr instances without any need todo a lookup.
OK, we might need to move to this model. Is it workable now? In RHEL 5?
Yes but the caveat is that not all libvirt drivers support events, so you need to keep the polling code too, and detect whether the driver raises a VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT error when registering for the lifecycle events.
Thanks Dan.
Wolfram, guess you should open a request for this feature at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ if you want to see this.
Thanks, I will probably push it to our TAM :) Cheers, Wolfram
