libvirt users - Jul 2012 - virsh define function question

Hi,
How do I view the libvirt virsh domxml-to-native function implementation? I
think this function contains some error.

Because we use libvirt to manage some host and vms on vmware hypervisor. 
We use openenbula generate a template for libvirt ,such as my attachment
windows2008.xml.
but when i use domxml-to-native to convert xml file to vmware config file vmx 
as below.  This may not be accurate.
For example:
1. guestOs type : could I  config this parameter in xml file ,so after
domxml-to-native to vmware.vmx , guestOS in my vmx file is "windows7srv-64
".
And also my pciBridge disappeared !
So could someone help me and tell us about 'virsh-c the esx :/
/@host?no_verify=1 define windows2008.xml'  function realization?

Thanks all!

Do you mean the virsh implementation (which just calls the API, and
works), or the qemu driver implementation (which is where you are
encountering the problems)?

I would not be surprised if domxml-from-native had bugs - that area of
the qemu driver (src/qemu/qemu_command.c) has been historically
under-maintained; but domxml-to-native should just work (because it's
how we create the qemu command line that starts your guest).

Oh, you're using vmware, not qemu (I guess I should read the whole email
first :)  In that case, the code would be in src/vmware/vmware_driver.c;
but while I see .domainXMLFromNative implemented for vmware as of
0.9.11, no one has yet implemented .domainXMLToNative for vmware.
Patches welcome.
