I have some code now that basically parses the XENBUS_PATH/param and
looks it up in libvirt. Now I have some questions:
- - Is it possible to reuse the hypervisor connection from within libvirt?
I would like to make this working:
xenUnifiedPrivatePtr priv = (xenUnifiedPrivatePtr) conn->privateData;
You are only allowed to cast to xenUnifiedPrivatePtr if you are running
within the Xen driver code. It is forbidden in all other places.
- - For iSCSI and related stuff everything was relatively easy,
because
this would just mean to write the right /dev/blabla to the xenstore.
What is your idea to get different drivers working via:
virt://pool/volume (so basically blktap vs file vs disk)
My idea was to have a script in /etc/xen/scripts/
