Réf. : Re: [Libvir] Libvir on Itanium ?

Anthony, you are right, but this will be done in a few monthes. So I think it is worth having the Itanium support in mind now. Is there anything in the current version which could prevent it to be used on itanium ?

Hello libvir developpers,
libvir is certainly a good initiative that will facilitate the administration of Xen. Could you tell if libvir can be used on Itanium or is intended to be used on Itanium in the near future ?
I don't see anything that would prevent libvirt from working on the Itanium. AFAIK, the Itanium Xen port is still under development and I don't think that all the domain management functionality is there (although I'm totally not sure). Regards, Anthony Liguori

Really no. This is basic code in C. the dependancies are libxml2 which does work on ia64 no problem, xen (and the xenstore lib), curses and readline for the virsh shell which should be no problem either. The problem really is to have xen/xend running, libvirt should be portable to anything (and works on x86_64 so we know there is a 64bits tested arch already).
