Hi, Sometimes when stopping a virtual domain using virDomainDestroy(), I come across a domain that is already stopped. (For example when someone already stopped the domain manually using virsh or because the guest OS issued a shutdown.) This is a special case that I absolutely need to catch and handle. Unfortunately, when this happens, and I call virGetLastError() afterwards, I always just

Hi, I have noticed that virt-manager has the ability to show me the current cpu- and memory-usage of both the host and running guest machines. How does it do that? I could make good use of that information myself in the client applications I'm writing, however, from what I can see on http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html, I have no idea how to go about getting it from libvirt. In

Hi, After upgrading to libvirt 0.8.1, I can no longer create empty volumes with no backing store and an explicit format of qcow2. This XML volume definition: <volume> <name>testserverb-data2.img</name> <allocation>0</allocation> <capacity units='G'>20</capacity> <target> <format type='qcow2'/>

Hi, What's the best way to tell if a virConnect object is not good to use anymore? (For example because the libvirtd on the other side crashed/has been stopped or because of some network failure) When I try this, the first API call I do on a broken connection yields an error with error number 38 (VIR_ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR) and all subsequent calls yield an error number 1

Hi, Libvirt's nwfilter ships a number of useful filter scripts by default, but none to handle IPv6 traffic. Is there a particular reason for that, or is that just because nobody has got around to that yet? One interesting thing about dealing with IPv6 traffic is that hosts often have several auto-configured addresses, usually at least one auto-configured link- local address under

Hi, According to the docs on http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainDetachDeviceFlags I ought to be able to do virDomainDetachDeviceFlags( <domain>, <devicexml>, VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_LIVE | VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_CONFIG); to detach a volume both from a currently running VM instance and permanently from the defined config file. If I actually try that,

Hi, As the subject line indicates, when I'm calling virDomainCreate() to start a defined domain, and that command fails because the domain is already running at that point, virGetLastError() will return NULL, instead of a proper pointer to an error code. Libvirt will, however, print an error to the console: libvir: QEMU error : Requested operation is not valid: domain is already running

Hi, After recently upgrading to 0.9.11 (as shipped with Fedora 17), I was just trying to migrate a qemu domain from one host to another (using virDomainMigrateToURI()), when I got this error message: Unsafe migration: Migration may lead to data corruption if disks use cache != none Okay, this is explainable (if a bit disappointing - I would have hoped that qemu would be able to disable disk

Hi, I'm trying to install the newest version of libvirt and libvirt-client from the rpms at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ on a Fedora 14 machine. The naming of the rpms as "libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm" suggests that this is exactly the system this was made for, however, installation still does not go smoothly. When I try to install these packages with yum install

Hello, OpenSSH-wizards. In our company, we have looked into SSH-HostKey-signing in order to realize automated access without the need to accept the server's hostkey, manually. I got it to work with the HostCertificate-directive inside the sshd_config. Now, I was wondering whether it is possible to have multiple signatures, so I can, for example, sign the hostkey once with a

Hello, I am searching for Ferret best practice : when to open, close, and optimize a ferret index on a classical web application where many people add, read, and sometime delete elements. Do you always keep your index open ? or do you open and close it on every transaction ? Do you optimize your index often ? on every insert ? on every 1000 insert ? or every night ? Thanks for you feedback

I see a number of code samples on the list lately using <label for="..." /> and this is a new construct to me. I see what it does, but I''m certainly no designer and was wondering if someone could walk me through when to use it vs. the "old style" of just putting text where you need it, and advantages of using it vs. not. Thanks -- Voluminous documentation is

I noticed that a few plugins come with rake tasks to install additional assets. In Rails 1.1.4 there''s a hook file, install.rb, that is run when after the plugin has been installed (edge Rails has uninstall.rb, too). Wouldn''t it be nicer to use this (these) hooks to install (remove) plugin specific files automatically? Preferrably existing (different) files are overwritten

Hello! So, I''m fairly new to Rails and I have a question that pertains to how to best model something that is typically addressed via inheritance. Here''s the situation: I need to maintain an EventLog There are several different "types" (eight at this point) of Events All Events have a couple of attributes in common (user_id, event_at, note, summary, type, etc.)

Hi, I have many pages that list information (modified from the scaffolding). I would like to include a box at the top of these pages that has some search criteria with drop downs, date ranges, etc. When the user submits, the controller then adds appropriate conditions to the find method, and the matching records are displayed with the search form maintaining the users selections. I have been

I''m adding some new content to a legacy system that is using apache 1.3.x, and I was doing some research for the best way to use rails in this environment. The system consists of four webservers behind a hardware load-balancer so I don''t want to/can''t balance on the individual machines. I know some of the methods to setup a new server include apache

I''m working on an application where several customers will be using the same database. I want them to be able to build their own entries for various drop-down lists is if they were the only user of the application. I also don''t want to make building the drop-lists any harder than they need to be. I have thought of two ways to do this. I''d appreciate feedback and

What''s the best practice for naming keys in the params array so they map most efficiently to models? There isn''t an equivelent of ActiveRecord for mapping params keys to models, so I''m wondering if there is a best practice. I''m writing an addressbook with a form that has mixed models on it and multiple one-to-many relations. I''m processing new
