[libvirt-users] start and stop a VMware VM using libvirt API

Hi, I am a new libvirt user and I wonder if I can use this library to start or stop a VM in ESXi 5.0. For example to write an application using libvirt in windows or linux that connects to an ESXi 5.0 server and get the list of VMs and start one of them. If so, is there any sample about it? Thank you, Ali

You could write a bash or batch script to do that. Normal connect format is "virsh -c esx://yournode" "virsh start [domain]" is what starts a VM. Refer to the man pages for virsh command set. /Abbas On 10/23/2012 02:47 AM, Ali Nikzad wrote:

Thank you Abbas, I already tried it but I got a message saying it found version 5.0 instead of 4.x. It seems that libvirt does not support ESXi 5.0. I used the command in libvirt-0.8.8 the windows version. Ali On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 10:05 PM, Abbas <akhan@phi9.com> wrote:

Yes, that seems to be correct.
The libvirt VMware ESX driver can manage VMware ESX/ESXi 3.5/4.x and VMware GSX 2.0, also called VMware Server 2.0, and possibly later versions. Since 0.8.3 the driver can also connect to a VMware vCenter 2.5/4.x (VPX).

The documentation is outdated. libvirt also supports ESXi 5.0. What is the exact error you get? You already said that it reports being connected to ESXi 5.0. Why do you expect it to report 4.x? 2012/10/23 Abbas <akhan@phi9.com>:

No, I just tried it but it didn't connect. After it gets the username and password it shows the following error message: error: internal error Expecting VI API major/minor version '2.5' or '4.x' but found '5.0' On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 6:42 AM, Matthias Bolte < matthias.bolte@googlemail.com> wrote:

No that is not the latest. It is 0.9+ something. I have 0.10 and it does include ESX 5 driver in the source: [root@KVM libvirt]# grep -A 5 -B 5 ESX50 src/esx/esx_driver.c if (expectedProductVersion == esxVI_ProductVersion_ESX) { if (priv->host->productVersion != esxVI_ProductVersion_ESX35 && priv->host->productVersion != esxVI_ProductVersion_ESX40 && priv->host->productVersion != esxVI_ProductVersion_ESX41 && priv->host->productVersion != esxVI_ProductVersion_ESX4x && priv->host->productVersion != esxVI_ProductVersion_ESX50 && priv->host->productVersion != esxVI_ProductVersion_ESX5x) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("%s is neither an ESX 3.5, 4.x nor 5.x host"), conn->uri->server); goto cleanup; On 10/23/2012 06:46 PM, Ali Nikzad wrote:

Okay, now I see the problem, old libvirt hat an ESX version check that was to restrictive. There is no fundamental problem here. It seems that you used the precompiled installer from here http://libvirt.org/windows.html Unfortunately that one is quite old, and should be updated. Current libvirt version is 0.10.2, this one definitely works with ESXi 5.0. There is a set of scripts that is used to build the content of the installer https://github.com/photron/msys_setup You can follow the instructions that come with the scripts to build libvirt. You could also wait until I had time to update the installer. I think I'll be able to provide a new version in the next days. 2012/10/23 Ali Nikzad <nikzad.a@gmail.com>:
