Re: [Libvir] Initial OpenVZ Support Patches

Hi, Here are the OpenVZ support patches. The .c and .h files go into src/ This is being released in the spirit of releasing early. Only the basic stuff is done and development is continuing. What works: * Getting number of active/inactive domains * Listing active/inactive domains * Creating a domain that has been already defined (using OpenVZ tools) * Shutdown, start, reboot * configure.in has a new switch --with-openvz(on by default), use --without-openvz to switch it off. After I get feedback, I will work on it and add other features later on. There is no need for any OpenVZ tools code. Just the OpenVZ kernel and tools need to be installed. This code depends on the OpenVZ tool binaries. Differences from QEMU/Xen: * ID and name are same * Not possible to create temporary domains and do away with them. Creating a domain will involve untarring a template cache and bringing it up. * No readonly access. OpenVZ tools need root access. There are other design issues to be discussed. These issues spring from the fact that OpenVZ is very different from Xen/QEMU. I will discuss these issues in further mails. Here is a sample session transcript:
