[libvirt] [libvirt-list] question about the commands: domhostname and hostname
Hi all,
I am testing the virsh commands, and I found that these two commands:
* domhostname
* hostname
>From the manual of virsh commands:
* hostname
Print the hypervisor hostname.
* domhostname domain
Returns the hostname of a domain, if the hypervisor makes
it available
It seems that both of them want to get the host name. What's the
difference between them?
>From the source code, domhostname only is supported for openvz on 0.10.1.
Will this be only for openvz in the future?
Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance. -:)

The [libvirt] tag in the prefix is done automatically, you don't have to do that ;)

Basically it's what's written. "virsh hostname" will give you the hostname of the hypervisor (host), but "virsh domhostname <domain>" is trying to get the hostname of the specified domain (guest).
From the source code, domhostname only is supported for openvz on 0.10.1. Will this be only for openvz in the future?
I don't know about anyone trying to work on this, but it doesn't mean it won't change. It's possible to implement it for some other hypervisors as well, but nobody had the need to, I guess.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance. -:)

Oh, domhostname is the guest's name. Am I right? I saw virsh also has such a command to get guest's name: $virsh domname domain-id-or-uuid
From the source code, domhostname only is supported for openvz on 0.10.1. Will this be only for openvz in the future?

domhostname is the guest's hostname, however...
I saw virsh also has such a command to get guest's name: $virsh domname domain-id-or-uuid
...this is the name of the domain (basically this function converts ID or UUID of the domain to its name).

Qemu support is in the works: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-08/msg03821.html but it's stalled since I couldn't get virtio-serial to work on windows and didn't get a chance to revisit it yet. Cheers, -- Guido

Got it, I saw it. Thanks Guido. I seems that it also needs some work in QEMU. :-)
