[libvirt-users] Libvirt api for esx

Hi, I am doing poc for using libvirt api for implementation of esx in python. I tried researching through module but did not find a way how it works for esx. Any help on how to proceed specifically for esx would be of great help. Please let me know as soon as possible, lagging on deliverables. Thanks for help!! Regards Rohit Singh

See https://libvirt.org/drvesx.html for ESX-related stuff. But mainly it is the URI you need to use. Then look at https://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html where you can see what APIs are available for that HV driver.
Please let me know as soon as possible, lagging on deliverables.
Thanks for help!!

Hi Martin, Could you please point me to any example codes in python present for esx? Suppose, I have to power off and power on esx virtual machine, can i get this code somewhere on python to develop some understanding. Actually, I am not able to find sample code related to esx in python, please point me if any such link available. Appreciate your help !! Thanks.

I don't know. I don't have any ESX machine handy. Try to do some debugging. Maybe the fact that you have the VM name here instead of the ESX server. Does the esxlist.py from python examples work? Maybe you can differentiate with that. Maybe you're not handling some of the credentials right.

Libvirt uses XML for most of the APIs. Depends what you need to do you can transform it with xmltodict or use some higher level API. I'm not sure I can help you much with that. Maybe just find a nice library for XML and don't be scared of XML =)

Thanks Martin, It’s working now. Could you please help me with role of xml in libvirt api and what if I don’t want use of xml in my code. Please let me know.
Libvirt uses XML for most of the APIs. Depends what you need to do you can transform it with xmltodict or use some higher level API. I'm not sure I can help you much with that. Maybe just find a nice library for XML and don't be scared of XML =)
Thanks for help!!

Hi Martin,
Could you please help me with below issue, I am not sure what’s wrong here. Please find below code and error snippet.
Thanks for help.
Code Snippet: -
from __future__ import print_function import sys import libvirt SASL_USER = <username> SASL_PASS = <password> def request_cred(credentials, user_data): for credential in credentials: if credential[0] == libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME: credential[4] = SASL_USER elif credential[0] == libvirt.VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE: credential[4] = SASL_PASS return 0 auth = [[libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME, libvirt.VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE], request_cred, None] conn = libvirt.openAuth("esx://<vm name>?no_verify=1", auth, 0)
I don't know. I don't have any ESX machine handy. Try to do some debugging. Maybe the fact that you have the VM name here instead of the ESX server.
Does the esxlist.py from python examples work? Maybe you can differentiate with that. Maybe you're not handling some of the credentials right.
if conn == None: print('Failed to open connection to qemu+tcp://localhost/system', file=sys.stderr) exit(1) conn.close()
Error Snippet: - File
line 105, in openAuth if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: HTTP response code 404 for call to 'RetrieveServiceContent'
