Hi,all.
we use libvirt to manage some host and vms on
vmware
hypervisor.I have found the libvirt there are some shortcomings
.
Such as virsh
domxml-to-native and domxml-from-native
.I have reviewed the libvirt source --src/vmx/vmx.c,
code as follows :
|
xml 转化成vmx |
vmx转化成xml |
|
/* def:os.arch ->
vmx:guestOS */
if (def->os.arch == NULL ||
STRCASEEQ(def->os.arch, "i686")) {
virBufferAddLit(&buffer, "guestOS =
\"other\"\n");
} else if (STRCASEEQ(def->os.arch,
"x86_64")) {
virBufferAddLit(&buffer, "guestOS =
\"other-64\"\n");
} else {
VMX_ERROR(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
_("Expecting domain XML attribute 'arch' of
entry 'os/type' "
"to be 'i686' or 'x86_64' but found '%s'"),
def->os.arch);
goto cleanup;
} |
/* vmx:guestOS -> def:os.arch */
if (virVMXGetConfigString(conf, "guestOS",
&guestOS, true) < 0) {
goto cleanup;
}
if (guestOS != NULL &&
virFileHasSuffix(guestOS, "-64")) {
def->os.arch = strdup("x86_64");
} else {
def->os.arch = strdup("i686");
}
if (def->os.arch == NULL) {
virReportOOMError();
goto cleanup;
}

Vmware support many guestOS types
like "windows7srv-64
",If I use 64-bit Windows virtual machine, other-64 this type is not correct.
NIC e1000 system can not be used .
So
I suggest to The libvirt improve the vmware support, especially the mutual transformation of the xml and vmx format guestOS only one parameter.
Thanks all.
