When connecting to a local libvirt you can let it automatically probe
the hypervisor URI if you don't know it ahead of time. This doesn't
work with remote URIs because you need to have something to put in
the URI scheme before the hostname
qemu+ssh://somehost/system
xen+tcp://somehost/system
This is then translated into the URI
qemu:///system
xen:///
It occurred to me that we can trivially enable probing with all existing
libvirtd daemon releases, simply by fixing the client side. All we need
todo is invent a new generic URI scheme, and convert that to empty string
This patch adds a 'remote' URI scheme, usable like this
remote+ssh://somehost/
remote+tcp://somehost/
remote://somehost/
remote+tls://somehost/
remote+ext://somehost/
In all these styles, the URI passed to the remote daemon is "", causing
it to probe.
As a demonstration, here's an example using virsh and two hosts I have,
one running Xen, the other QEMU
See it automatically choosing QEMU....
$ virsh --connect remote+ssh://root@lettuce/ version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.5.0
Using library: libvir 0.5.0
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.9.1
And choosing Xen....
$ virsh --connect remote+ssh://root@pumpkin/ version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.5.0
Using library: libvir 0.5.0
Running hypervisor: Xen 3.1.0
This finally makes the Avahi broadcasts useful - they only include
info on the hostname + data transport (SSH, TCP, TLS), not the HV
type. So letting us use auto-probing remotely is the missing link.
NB. we've got a small problem with the virGetVersion() API - it does not
take a connection URI - just a hypervisor type. It then directly checks
the statically declared 'version' field in the virDriverPtr struct.
This no longer works now that some drivers are linked directly into the
libvirt daemon.
I'm thinking that perhaps we can just change the virGetVersion() apis
so that instead of looking in virDriverPtr struct, we just include the
version numbers directly in virGetVersion as a static const lookup
table. Meanwhile, this patch also includes a change to virsh to stop
it calling virGetVersion(), though this hunk instead intended to apply
to CVS.

Okay, I initially though the driver versions would be more dynamic
but since we usually just use the libvirt version macro, well the patch
just reflects the status-quo,
fine, +1
