[libvirt] OpenSource-Management of private Clouds and Virtualisation
Hello, I want to announce the current version of the UnifiedSessionsManager. An OpenSource-Toolset providing a neatless interface for the vendor independent use and administration of virtual and physical systems. Private-Clouds - the "Intranet"!

Sounds interesting. What does "neatless" mean by the way? :)
Just tried that, and it seem to want to bounce me to some other domain (hard to make out) like unifiedsessionsmanager.eu or something, which doesn't load. Is everything set up ok? :/ Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

My first guess is that it's a mis-translation of "seamless".

I had no problems loading the page, even with noscript.

probly it's "neat". :-)

yes, now it's okay.

Taking a look through the site and docs, I didn't see anything related to libvirt. Arno-Can, what does this have to do with the libvirt project? Kind of seems like spam. :( Regards, Justin Clift

Arno-Can, what does this have to do with the libvirt project?
The relation is indirect for now. The managed task is the same - the management of user sessions to various hypervisors. The difference is that the UnifiedSesionsManager utilizes the commandline interfaces, not yet a library interface. This has pros and cons. One main advance of this project is simple integration of new hypervisors and applications, and the handling of huge amounts of VMs with an automatic inventory scanner and a CSV text database. Thus it is for example quite good usable for the handling of development, debugging and test environments for the development of libvirt. The main intention was to present this as an R&D utilitiy, but also as an alternate interface, which emphasizes the personal customization of workspaces and sets of services. The following versions are intended to use additionally a library based API in combination with distributed server daemons and an LDAP storage, thus most probably apply libvirt and potentially contribute to libvirt too.
Kind of seems like spam. :(

Justin Clift

Hello Osier, first of all I have to apologise for answering so late, had some difficulties with my mail mailbox for libvirt and lost the data until the 18th. This is from the luckily forgotton old subscription-account. Justin Clift wrote:

Neatless is in the sense, that the interface is almost the same for all supported hypervisors. This is for example: ->ctys -t qemu -a create=l:tst100 myUser@myHost creates a QEMU instance ->ctys -t vmw -a create=l:tst101 myUser@myHost1 creates a VMware instance, one of: Sever/Player/Workstation ->ctys -t vnc -a create=l:tst101 myUser@myHost1 creates a VNC desktop ->ctys -t x11 -a create=l:tst101 myUser@myHost1 creates a X-Terminal session ... There are some more options, but the core-set is quite similar. This has the advantage for presenting a small interface with some standard methods and a superset of common attributes. When now a generic option has to be applied, this is the same for all hypervisors, which I call here session types. For example: The client of a session should be requested to be executed locally, whereas the server is performing remote: ->ctys -t qemu -a create=l:tst100 -L CF myUser@myHost creates a QEMU instance on 'myHost', creates a SSH tunnel from localhost to the QEMU instance, where the display ID is managed automatically, and last starts a local VNC client which is attached to the local stub of the SSH tunnel. Antyhing is done automatically, just by setting '-L CF', where CF stands for CONNECTIONFORWARDING, in distinction to DISPLAYFORWARING, which is similar to the X11 display forwarding. ->ctys -t vnc -a create=l:tst101 -L CF myUser@myHost1 This does basically the same, but starts and interconnects here a VNC desktop instead of a QEMU instance. Same for VMW, XEN and VirtualBox, where just the consoles has to be varied, e.g. for VirtualBox the RDP, or VBOX instead of VNC. Thus the main emphasis for the project is still the support of an interface, which is almost the same - standard core - for all supported session types. With some specific superset for each, providing enhanced features. There are some slides on the home page which depict the interface, I tried to describe the basic idea of service-management and composition also in a short whitepaper.

Yes, I have one domain-only for the org, and redirect this to the server provider, which provide their own, here e.g. unifiedsessionsmanager.eu for english, unifiedsessionsmanager.de for german. For transparency I didn't rename the domain name, just kept and forwarded it.

It should work, the site is just simple HTML, no scripting. The only extra is the URL-forwarding from the domain provider to the webspace provider, should be harmless. I have no difficulties from Munich, neither by telco, nor by cable provider. Let me please know when still not functional.
