Not sure, it is our Red Hat zimbra web client that I'm using.
I'm working with a java vm vendor that is developing a multi-tenancy jvm and is trying to leverage the libvirt framework for the domain configuration. Right now the > java language binding leverages the libvirt c library for parsing the domain.xml file. What are the thoughts on adding a 'jvm' domain type?
You mean, adding a a src/jvm/jvm_driver.c backend that supports a jvm:/// URI for connecting to your vms? Seems reasonable; we've added support for other hypervisor technologies in the past.
Yes.
I believe there would need to be a jvm specific section in a separate namespace similar to the qemucmdline section.
You may want to look at the patches for adding a URI for parallels:// (commit cafc26ff, and lots of more recent commits with a prefix of 'parallels:') or hyperv:// (commit 4d6e6f4 and more recent commits with a prefix of 'hyperv:') for inspiration on what it would take to contribute your patch.
Ok, will do. Thanks
