libvirt users - Jul 2010 - ESXi support

Hello everyone,

I want to use libvirt to manage an Vmware ESXi 4.0 server from within a
virtual machine running on that server. I did not find any C examples using
ESX(i). Can anyone give me some example code, because I am really new in
this domain and I can't get started... I don't find any information
about
using libvirt with ESX(i), even if it is supposed to work with it.
I thank you for any information.
Adrian

See this page:

Basically, you just use "esx" as the protocol in the uri to connect
to.

The rest /should/ work as with any any other backend driver, though last time 
I tried that, it didn't yet have any support for creating volumes, which
made
the whole thing useless in practice for me.
