similar to: creating 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 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 all, I find this curious behavior that libvirt will automatically insert a USB controller and a memballoon virtio driver into the domain's XML, when defineXML is called. IOW, the original XML did not have these 2 devices but they are present right after defineXML is called. Why should libvirt add a USB controller? DETAILS: Here is a little Python snippet to show that behavior:

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

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

Hi all, I have the following issue, and I hope someone know a way to handle it. I need to grammatically need to create/install a guest OS using the libvirt API. Currently what I do: 1. create a xml with the vm configuration (this will include a path to the iso image) 2. connection.defineXML(<my_config>) 3. vm = connection.lookupByName(<domain_name>) 4. vm.create() This will

Hi all, I am using libvirt to manage VM on my system; after creating a VM (default no NICs are present in the configuration) you can add any number of interfaces to it (as long as they exist on the host). To do that, I edit the configuration xlm: vmXml = self.domain.XMLDesc() root = ET.fromstring(vmXml) devices = root.find('./devices') intf =

I am trying to migrate a VMware guest to KVM. I have the .vmdk file which I convert to qcow2 format using qemu-img convert. The next step is to import the new img file. If I use virt-install --import <guest config options> it all works fine. But when I try the same think using the libvirt API I get the "no boot disk found" message when starting the vm. When importing the VM

Hi, I am trying to attach a usb device to my virtualbox node using libvirt. My node is already running, I stop my node and then I am trying to add this usb device. I have a separate xml file defined for usb. It looks like this: *<device> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'> <source> <vendor id='0x4321'/> <product

I am trying to change a domain configuration from a python script. More specific, I want to edit the VNC settings. You can't do this using the libvirt API so you have to edit the domain configuration: Fo exmple, to disable VNC for a domain 'test1': vmXml = vm.XMLDesc(0) root = ET.fromstring(vmXml) devices = root.find('./devices') graphics = devices.find('graphics')

Hi, dear friend. My guest has two disks, vda and vdb. both are qcow2 local file. When guest running state. I want to take the vda snapshot of guest(just vda, no include vdb). but I met libvirt do snapshot for all disks of guest. About methods for follow: 1、 ``` bash virsh snapshot-create-as 8x0lbzvS --name sys_disk3 --disk-only --diskspec "vda,snapshot=external" ``` ``` result

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

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

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
