Hi, I have some code that can probably be hacked into a libvirt driver for VMware ESX. Is there a template with stubs for all the necessary routines for the API that I can use as a starting point? -- Drew Einhorn

This shoulds cool :) I'm happy you will start this before I have to do it :) What approach will you take? Soap?
Is there a template with stubs for all the necessary routines for the API that I can use as a starting point?
I would take one of the existing drivers... but maybe there is a better way. Stefan

interesting, how did you go? I did some experimentation using SOAP and gsoap2 a few weeks ago that i need to restart. Did you use VIX instead ?

I would suggest to start from the test driver (libvirt/src/test.c), the driver consists of a set of entry points (see at the bottom static virDriver testDriver), with a few predefined headers. The entry points at the driver level nearly match the ones from the public API.

I read about VIX again, but is this already working for ESX? On their site and fora they mention Workstatation/Server only. Stefan

According to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/115071 the VIX API will be supported in ESX in the future. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)
