similar to: listing active and defined vs inactive and defined domains

hi, i am a bit confused on how to start an inactive domain using the python bindings, any help would be appreciated. (inactive as in the domain was created with?virConnect.defineXML sometime in the past) looks like i have to use virDomain.create, however virDomain.create needs a defined domain xmldesc as a parameter and i am not sure on how to get that i guess if?virConnect.create was

i am trying to get the free memory on a hypervisor using libvert, with the python api bindings as per?http://libvirt.org/python.html, it should be pretty easy, however the below is failing: #conn is a connection object freemem=libvirt.virNode.getFreeMemory(conn) although this works fine: software=libvirt.virConnect.getType(conn) if software == ?'QEMU': logging.debug('hypervisor is

Hello I am trying to get libvirt-python working in Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit system. I tried installing the binaries from the repo itself: 1. root@test-vm8-109:/home/test# libvirtd --version libvirtd (libvirt) 1.2.2 root@test-vm8-109:/home/test# python Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or

Hi Harish, I believe the proper establishment of a connection should be done by libvirt.open() or libvirt.openAuth() or libvirt.openReadOnly(). All of them will return a functional virConnect instance. I'm not sure this segfault is worth to fix since instantiate a virConnect directly is not an expected usage. Hope this information will help you. Best Regards, Hao Liu +86-010-62608262

hi, how do i list storage pools and volumes using the python bindings? basically the python api calls for?virsh pool-list and virsh vol-list thanks

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, i am getting this error below when i try to create a storage volume: ? ? libvirt.virStoragePool.CreateXML(storagepoolobject,xmldesc,0) AttributeError: class virStoragePool has no attribute 'CreateXML' my code is: xmldesc="xml description of storage volume which i got from sudo virsh vol-dumpxml" #get a storage pool object to use in creating a volume

Hello, I am searching for the libvirt operations for relocating LXC (system or application) containers. LXC relocation mechanism is done by checkpoint / restart. I went over libvirt API documentation and found the following methods: virDomainSave that receives a domain and path to state file. The method saves domain's memory contents into a disk file. virDomainRestore that receives a domain

how do i print the features of a domain from functions that return a domain object? for instance mydomain =?virdomain=libvirt.virConnect.lookupByID(conn,domainid) so mydomain is?virDomainPtr, which is?typedef virDomain * virDomainPtr i am not sure on how to print the domain object features in python, such as name, disk size, etc

hi, i am trying to find out the max vcpus supported for any domain by my hypervisor, however i am having some trouble with the below: vcpu=5 maxvcpus=libvirt.virConnect.getMaxVcpus(conn,'kqemu') if maxvcpus <= vcpu: logging.debug('checkmaxvcpus: max vcpus on hypervisor %i is less than requested vcpu of %i' % (maxvcpus, vcpu)) return 0 else: return 1

hi, when creating a domain using libvirt python api, how would i tell libvirt to use a unique serial port number for domains? in the?libvirt.virConnect.defineXML(conn,domainxml) call when i create the domainxml object, i need to ensure that the part below has a unique # for target port <serial type='pty'> ? <target port='0'/> </serial> <console

I was simply following the examples in the python-libvirt repo. If those methods raise exceptions I'll definitely change to try/catch. Thank you. The maintainer of the repo should update the examples and documentation if exceptions are raised by those. On Mon, Aug 24, 2020, 05:31 Daniel P.

I have a python script that monitors the guest VMs on a servers running Xen, but the script doesn't work properly on a server I just built with KVM. The script runs as a non-root user (same on all servers) and simply gathers some details on the status and names of the domains running on the host. The Xen and KVM servers are running CentOS 5.4 x86_64 and are using the same version of

Hello, I am using python bindings of libvirt. When I use the function listDomainsID( ) it successfully returns me the list of the ids of my current virtual machines, but when I call function listDefinedDomains( ) it returns me an empty list. Is this some kind of bug because as per my understanding listDefinedDomains should return a superset of vm's as returned by listDefinedDomains(). I am
