Thanks for pointing out the mistake.I will move the check in qemuConnectGetAllDomainStats, this won't make a old client cannot use the future server and will give a good error when use future client to connect to old server.

From manual of virsh: The approaches can't be combined.
NACK. While they cannot be combined in the current implementation, I see nothing that would prohibit a future implementation from allowing the combination (for example, show me all stats for a given domain, but only if the domain is running). Prohibiting in libvirt-domian.c would prevent an older RPC client from talking to a newer server that supports the combination. We should only prohibit combinations in libvirt-*.c if there is no chance we will ever extend things to allow the combination. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
