Hey,
I'm trying to figure out a way to get a list of the running domains on a
dom0. I can get the ID's but I'd prefer the names. We have another script
written in perl, but I'm trying to get some other functionality in python
as well as work on converting it all to python. It looks like perl has a
list_domains() that will, according to the libvirt doc, "Return a list of
all running domains currently known to the VMM". And this works for us, but
I can't get the same thing in python as listAllDomains doesn't work with
the version of libvirt running on RHEL 5.9
From our machine that will be running the script
RHEL 5.9
yum list | grep libvirt
libvirt.x86_64 0.8.2-29.el5_9.1
libvirt-python.x86_64 0.8.2-29.el5_9.1
from the dom0
RHEL 5.9
yum list | grep xen
xen.x86_64 3.0.3-142.el5_9.2
xen-libs.i386 3.0.3-142.el5_9.2
xen-libs.x86_64 3.0.3-142.el5_9.2
yum list | grep libvirt
libvirt.i386 0.8.2-29.el5_9.1 installed
libvirt.x86_64 0.8.2-29.el5_9.1 installed
This is the error if I try to do listAllDomains from a FC18 box
>> conn.listAllDomains(1)
libvir: Remote Driver error :
