[libvirt] (no subject)

Hello all, I've been working on a libvirt extension to manage IBM's Power VMs (LPARs). The Power systems are managed through management console referred to as the HMC or using a management partition (IVM). Both HMC and IVM runs an SSH, then you can reach it via command line, and an HTTP server, then you can reach it via web browser. The protocol between the console and the partition (LPAR) is not disclosed, therefore I propose the driver to execute commands remoetly over an SSH connection to the consoles to manage IBM LPARs. The patch attached is the first scratch of the driver that will interact with HMC over a SSH connection. The URI model that is used in virsh command line is: virsh --conect phyp://$user@$server Some known issues are: * Next step is to make the URI like this: phyp://$user@ $HMC/@managed_system. Almost finished. What it takes now is $server = $HMC = $managed_system. * Next features in my TODO list are "resume", "stop" and "reboot" the LPAR. Any comments are welcome.
