That wasn't listing supported archs from libvirt compilation, it was instead refering to the capabilities APIs. So it was listing archs that might be supported by the current hypervisor connection. eg, the archs that might be returned by a call to virConnectGetCapabilities() So with Xen on x86_64, it'd list 'x86_64' and 'i386', for Xen on i64 it'd list 'ia64', for QEMU it'd list i386, x86_64, ppc, sparc. For Xen we're basically pulling the info out of /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities We've already got ia64 support there - including a number of test cases to verify correct parsing $ ls tests/xencapsdata/*ia64* tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-be.caps tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64.caps tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-be.cpuinfo tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64.cpuinfo tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-be-hvm.caps tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-hvm.caps tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-be-hvm.cpuinfo tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-hvm.cpuinfo tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-be-hvm.xml tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-hvm.xml tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64-be.xml tests/xencapsdata/xen-ia64.xml Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
