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 list active + defined and inactive + defined domains using libvirt 0.9.4 i can get active domains using: def s_activedomains(conn): #get active domain ids numofdomains=libvirt.virConnect.numOfDomains(conn) activedomains=libvirt.virConnect.listDomainsID(conn) return activedomains i am stuck on how to get inactive domains the example listed

Hey, I'm trying to figure out a way to get a list of the running domains on a dom0. I can get the ID's but I'd prefer the names. We have another script written in perl, but I'm trying to get some other functionality in python as well as work on converting it all to python. It looks like perl has a list_domains() that will, according to the libvirt doc, "Return a list of all

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, 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

Hi, I''m trying to figure out how XEN decides which VNC port a particular VM will associate with. From what little there is in the documentation, it indicates that XEN will choose 5900+DomainID. From experience, this doesn''e seem to happen. When I start a guest domain, and do "xm list" its domainID shows as "22", however, when I netstat -a , it shows listening

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

This is only lightly tested at the moment. For context see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1138203#c40 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075143 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075164 Note this is not a complete fix. At least one more libguestfs patch is required (to implement virDomainPtr in the python bindings). Plus a virt-manager patch. Rich.

Hi, If i take a snapshot of a qcow2 image backed domain via virsh snapshot-create domainID and I shutdown the machine (and probably destroy the domain if virsh list still shows it running), and then undeinfed the domain will that snapshot still exist and be active when I define and start the domain back up? --- Thanks, Yitao(依涛 姜) jiangyt.github.io

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

I'm trying to get dynamic tagging (user+sometag at example.com) to work on a mail server I'm setting up, however it only works as long as it's sent to the main user and not to aliases. virtual-alias-maps query: SELECT get_email_alias_dyn('%s') virtual-mailbox-domains query: SELECT 1 FROM domain WHERE name='%s' virtual-mailbox-maps query: SELECT 1 FROM user_alias

Hi, I am using virStorageVolGetInfo to get the volume size virStorageVol.download to download a normal file for VDSM project. I want to add support for block devices as well, I was able to see the size via virDomainBlockInfo and download via virDomain.blockPeek which is works fine for both file and block device. 1. Can I depend on virDomainBlockInfo for non block devices? 2. Does the

Hello I am trying to get libvirt-python working in Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit system.

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

Libvirt has a fixed 15 second timeout for qemu to exit. If qemu is writing to a slow USB key, it can hang (in D state) for much longer than this - many minutes usually. The solution is to check specifically for the libvirt EBUSY error when this happens, and retry the virDomainDestroyFlags operation (indefinitely). See also the description here:

Hello, I need to get how much memory is used by a guest system, in order to implement some monitoring function which tells me if the system is overstressed.
