[libvirt] Libvirt Xen daemon interaction in Red Hat Enterprise with virtualization

Hi, I am new to libvirt and I am trying to figure out that how libvert connects to Xend in Red Hat Enterprise with virtualization. I read a few posts but was not able to find this out. The eariler versions of Xen were using xen_session_login_with_password() function call to connect to Xen daemon but I am not able to find anything similar to this in libvirt. Please help me with the functions or the area of source code which are being used by libvirt to make the connections. Thanks Vaibhav

Libvirt talks to XenD using its UNIX socket, and SEXPR interface. This page gives a quick list of config settings you need in XenD to make it work with libvirt: http://libvirt.org/drvxen.html Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
