Hi, I''m a long ext3 user (rpmfind.net). I propagated ext3 on some of our server box (W3C webservers are ext3 based too now). I might be tempted of testing out your kernel RPMs but unavailability or the source RPM and the SMP version are definite showstoppers. Please provide them. In the meantime I will stick to my own set of kernel ext3 RPMs at ftp://rpmfind.net/pub/veillard/ext3/

Hi, Is there any way you can save a xen domain without suspending it or stopping it? I want to set up something so if my xen session crashes I can fire up another xen session from the save file that I created 5 minutes before the crash and hopefully minimize downtime. Thanks -- ------------------------------ Christopher Vaughan

I keep getting an error when I try to attach a device in the libvirt api through python The python code is: conn=libvirt.open('qemu:///system') dom = conn.lookupByName("fedoratest") if dom.info()[0]==1: dom.attachDevice('net.xml') And I keep getting: "libvirtError: XML description not well formed or invalid The xml is a simple network

Hi! I know this is a little bit offtopic, but i couldn't think of any other place where i can get uninfluenced first hand information on these controllers :) I've read about and experienced data loss/system lockup with older 3ware controllers, but the 3ware Escalade 7xxx (i'm especially interested in the 7850) sounds too good to ignore it (8 channels, 8 drives, raid 0/1/5/10,

I've not seen this asked since I've been on the list; but was wondering... I'm currently sticking to the 2.2 line and have no plans to move to 2.4 right now. Is there any attempt to back port some of the changes in the newer 2.4 line back into 2.2? ext-0.0.7a.tar.gz has been stable thus far, but it's getting kind of old. NEM

Hi all, I'm using libvirt java binding (libvirt-java-0.4.6) I'd like to know if the Domain class offers an API to query volumes attached to a particular domain or should I parse the XML domain description?

Has support for creating or using lxc containers on remote machines been added to libvirt yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html says "Libvirt is a powerful hypervisor management solution with which you can administer Qemu, Xen and LXC virtual machines, both locally and remote." so I assume it's been done and I'm just having trouble seeing it... otoh, I hear

Hi, IIR/UC there have been a couple of discussions lately about possible evolution of libvirt's network management features to eventually support more kinds of virtual networking technologies like Openvswitch, VDE,... Could a kind and informed soul keep us on touch with progress in the field ? Thank you very much in advance PS: I wish this will be available before/for 1.0 release...

Are there any recommendations as to how often a new connection should be made versus reused? Right now we create a new connection *every time* we hit libvirt for something. We can easily change this so that a single connection is made for a series of libvirt calls, or even so that a single connection is used for the lifetime of the running application. What are the issues to consider when making

Hello Is there an easy way to get supported feature (API) list in each driver? The function would be to return a list which describes which APIs are supported and which APIs are not. Thanks in advance ozaki-r

Hello. I'm using debian squeeze with libvirt and kvm and I need to load a newer version of seabios into qemu. I'd like to do it without overwriting seabios in the debian package because that might be overwritten on the next update. I hopend that the <loader> directive in the config would work but it doesn't. thanks for any ideas. mk

Hi, Libvirt provides classes such as Xen_ComputerSystem, Xen_Processor etc., in order to build applications using libvirt-api which can interact with the Xen Hypervisor. I would like to know what are the corresponding classes for the KVM hypervisor, so that I can use libvirt-cim to communicate with the hypervisor. Would it be Kvm_ComputerSystem or Qemu_Computersystem? Any help in this regard

Hello I'm trying to compile libvirt-0.8.6 on RHEL4 with kernel 2.6.9-67 The make command returns: -------------------- util/interface.c: In function `ifaceGetVlanID': util/interface.c:355: error: `GET_VLAN_VID_CMD' undeclared (first use in this function) util/interface.c:355: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once util/interface.c:355: error: for each function it

I came across a thread in the archives that seems to suggest that multiple connections can be made from a single application,although I am unsure what version(s) of libvirt support it. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2010-March/msg00074.html I'd like to know if multiple connections(for eg,virConnectOpenAuth()) can be made from an application using libvirt-0.6.3-20.1.el5_4 .

Hello, In the documentation section of Python API Website it is written that the generation of python API and documentation is automated using generator.py file. This should produce the necessary files alongwith the documentation in libvirtclass.txt which should be present in docs or python folder. I executed generator.py file but was not able to find the libvirtclass.txt file to get the

Hi I looked at the java bindings for libvirt at http://libvirt.org/sources/java/ . Latest version here is 0.4.7 whereas the latest version of libvirtd is 0.9.1 . Does the java binding use latest libvirtd ? If not, can it be created easily ? Also, is there any plan to support HyperV support in future ?

Hi, I would like to add two apps which uses libvirt the site.

Hello, I am planning to develop a management application for managing Redhat Xen and Redhat KVM hypervisors. I am evaluating the Java bindings versus the C++ version of libvirt. As part of evaluation, I could not find meaningful answers to the questions below. Hence, I thought that people on this mailing list would be the most appropriate to comment on them. Can you please let me know your views?

Hello, I am trying to run SCO unix 5.0.5 with KVM. I have created the Virtual Machine with virt-manager. The installation runs correctly, but when the virtual machine reboots from hard disk, i obtain this message : "FATAL: No bootable device." If i run manually the virtual machine without the suboption "boot=on" in the "-drive" option, the virtual machine boots

Hi, I have a host with 6 VMs set to autostart. When this host reboots, it starts libvirtd, pegasus cimom and libvirt-cim. It also restarts the VMs. Intermittently we noticed a core during start up that points to the last call made by libvirt-cim to "virInitialize". I am thinking that it is a timing issue where virInitialize is called while libvirt is trying to autostart the VMs.
