similar to: libvirt python api for storage-volumes and storage-pools

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 am trying to create a domain using libvirt 0.9.4 python api and i can't find any information on how to use the libvirt python api with linux logical volumes http://libvirt.org/guide/html-single/#Application_Development_Guide-Device_Config-Disks is TBD i figured out that i need to use defineXML to create a domain, however for the disk part in the xml, i am not sure if i need to create

This patch provides the ability to create a "dir" type storage pool, and to add and remove volumes for existing pools.

This set of patches supercedes the previous set, and has been rebased with changes from upstream.

This patch is dependant on the previously submitted storage admin patch.

This pair of patches provide a new storage admin interface. Then, on top of that, it refactors the domain administration pieces to now properly use storage pools and volumes when defining a new VM.

Unfortunately my backing store file is not in a volume. So I guess I cannot use that method.

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

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

This set of patches needed some reworking since they would not apply on top of next. They are ready for review and to be pushed.

This patch again rebases on upstream and should apply on next as of right now.

Hello everyone, We're currently working with using libvirt as an abstract API to make our dealings with other hypervisors far easier and faster, however, we have our own storage API that connects/disconnects and makes LUNs available over iSCSI with iSER. We would have loved to use a storage pool however our system implements a one target per LUN/VDI, therefore, we'd have to create a pool

Hi, Is it possible to create a storage pool based on an LVM thin pool? I read a recent bugzilla but the problem there was that the storage-pool became unusable AFTER creating a thinpool which is a different case. Thanks, Jorge

And we have the bug to support the thin pool, sorry you won't be able to use it until

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, 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
