Hi,

 

Looking to libvirt source code questions:

 

a) I see virt-mgr or such client invokes libvirt API which inturn connects to libvirtd on host. Is this right ?  Further libvirtd invokes qemu driver callbacks which were registered when it comes up using: qemuRegister() API. Is this right ?

 

b) If (a) is true then does is mandate that (i) libvirtd daemon need to be running on host only ?  (ii) also libvirtd daemon need to be running before qemu (to register) ? 

 

c) what is the call sequence and boot up flow between libvirtd daemon and qemu ?

 

d) can libvirtd process run in a guest ?

 

Thanks !
