   RHEL-5.2 has xen-3.0.3, and that will stay the same for the lifetime
 of RHEL5. There is no XenAPI for this, as Dan Berrange told you
 already. And for remote access you have libvirt support.


On CentOS-5.2 (same as RedHat, IFAIK), xen is 3.1.2. Don't believe rpm
version, check xm info instead.

Hi, Alain

I guess  Daniel says xend issue.(since it relates to XenAPI)
As for hypervisor, You are correct in RHEL5.2 and CentOS5.2.

Current RHEL/Xen is very complex compared to upstream Xen.

Thanks

Yes.  We needed to keep backwards compatibility with the userspace tools shipped
in RHEL 5.0, which was based on 3.0.3.  For that reason, we can't take wholesale
the upgraded userland; and in point of fact, we don't really need to, since
libvirt provides us with the functionality that XenAPI would.

I sent an e-mail last month with proposals for doing this within libvirt.  I put

then sit down and implement it.

When on a x86_64 host, KVM doesn't emulate a pure 32-bit VM. It just

[libvirt] [RFC][PATCH] virt-manager calls migration API

Hi, I just make the proto patch that calls migration API from virt-manager.
Form unity point of view,
This proto patch adds Migrate in as same layer as operations for the Domain. 
Fisrt, this patch adds Migrate to the right-click menu when selected a domain.

Run  Run

Shutdown Shutdown

Open(O)  Migrate
 
 Open(O)

When Migrate selected, it goes on new window open which shows available(have
been connecting) hosts. Of course, I have been knowing that there is DragDrop 
way.

By the way,
(1)It is necessary to migrate a domain that users modify an environmental 
setting.
   (ex. for XenD xend-config, ...)
And
(2)I think it that is necessary to improve usability that there is precheking 
beofre migrating.
   (ex. same cpu family/processor number?, enough free memory?, ...)
Do you already have a idea that virt-manager servies above (1)(2) ?

Finally,
I understand that migrated domain's state switches Running and Shutoff 
alternately,
because current virt-maneger manages domains by UUID.
Is there a plan that this problem is solved?

 Hi all,
 
 This is a followup to the excellent patch which allows static IP address 
 assignment.  The problem with that patch is that you can only set the host 
 name and cannot set a FQDN because dnsmasq will, as a security measure, not 
 allow it unless --domain is specified.
 
 This patch adds support for adding domain name=my.domain / to the network 
 config file.  With that stanza, one can then use FQDNs on the static host 
 assignments, and this should be the domain reported for any clients that 
 request it.  If domain name .. ./ is not specified in the config file, then 
 there is no change in behaviour.
 
 As a special case, you can also set the domain name to #, whereupon dnsmasq 
 interprets that to use the domain of the host OS.

  Sounds fine to me, and the patch looks clean and simple, I'm fine with
this, someone else with more networking insight can back this up too ?

 thanks,

Daniel

Novell does not provide the same user ABI/API stability  guarentees that 
we do in RHEL. The change from Xen 3.0.x series to Xen 3.1.0 changes a 
number of user facing APIs / changes semantics of existing commands. This
is not acceptable to drop into a minor update of RHEL because it can cause
functional regressions for people deploying tools built on Xen.

As developers of libvirt, we believe that users, admins  developers are
best served by an API which is independant of the underlying virtualization
technology. The choice of which hypervisor to use is a deployment question,
and as such applications should not be looked into one particular choice.
XenAPI as an application development API will irrevocably lock you into
the Xen hypervisor.

Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Determine kvm max vcpus via version number

 The attached patch is a slimmed down version of a patch
 I posted a while back. This expands qemu help message
 parsing to look for a kvm version number, which can be
 used to determine maximum supported vcpus.
 
 A kvmVersion field is added to the qemu_driver structure,
 and a check to determine the version is added to the
 libvirtd start up routine. If the kvm version isn't found
 (say if kvm isn't installed), kvmVersion is set to 0.
 
 This is against Guido Gunther's patch maxVCPU runtime 
 detection: his method takes precendence in the code
 if it's available.

  Looks fine to me,

Now support for local virtualization (QEmu for example) would be a more

 Why is this more complex? Could you please explain a bit more?

  Because that's code which would have to be designed/ported, instead of
just recompiling completely generic code which has already been ported
to Windows.

 By the way, with libvirt, can I control a hypervisor without the libvirtd
 running with root privilege (or even without libvirtd running at all?)?

  You should not assume this is possible.

 The .flag field is a bit-mask, so yes it should be OR'd. Basically the

 DV and I'm a bit afraid of the dependancy. They expose a lot of

 I've become increasingly concerned about the likelihood of converging on
 something stable that will work for libvirt in this area.  I hate to
 ignore an abstraction layer that may help reduce the amount of knowledge
 of cgroups that has to be present in libvirt.  However, I'm not sure
 that libcgroup is really going to provide such a layer, and thus would
 (as you put it) become nothing but a problematic dependency.
 
 Perhaps it makes the most sense to implement a bit of cgroup support
 directly into libvirt to satisfy our current needs while we wait to see
 if libcgroup matures?

  Yes I don't want to presume the ability of the libcgroup to become
cleaner and more stable, we can probably go with a small internal API
and when/if things become nicer, then reuse libcgroup,

 Dan pointed out a leak since the net-domain structure was not freed,
I applied the patch in time for 0.4.5 with that fix added. We still need
to add documentation for the feature, would you mind making a patch for
formatnetwork.html.in describing the new element ad attribute and adding

  I don't know how to do this, I never touched a Mac (well I did once
but it sponteaneously rebooted, I assume I'm not compatible).
  The goal of --version-script=./libvirt_sym.version is to restrict
the set of exported symbols available in the library to just the list
in libvirt_sym.version and not include all public symbols from the
C modules which is the default behaviour. Just find a way to limit
the set of public symbols, that has to be possible in some ways.

  Thanks Daniel,
  
Now support for local virtualization (QEmu for example) would be a more
  complex issue but probably not much  more complex than existing linux
  hypervisor support.
  Why is this more complex? Could you please explain a bit more?
  
Because that's code which would have to be designed/ported, instead of
  just recompiling completely generic code which has already been ported
  to Windows.
  
  By the way, with libvirt, can I control a hypervisor without the libvirtd
  running with root privilege (or even without libvirtd running at all?)?
  
You should not assume this is possible.
 
 Just curious, why there is an option --without-libvirtd in configure?
 (Which actually works and make will not produce libvirtd.exe)

The primary use is for people building on Windows, who want to get the
libvirt client APIs, but not the server daemon. It lets them managed 
Linux hosts from Windows.

Re: [libvirt] Does libvirt support Xen on Solaris?

 Thanks,

 But does libvirt supports xVM Virtualbox and xVM Server? I think Sun has
 published some web services API for these platforms.

xVM Virtualbox does not have libvirt support to my knowledge.

xVM server will have a running virtd, but it won't be enabled
for remote access by default.

An in an OpenSolaris based dom0, you should get the same basic
behavior that you'd see in a RHEL 5.x, etc.

 Yes.


  If so what is version of libvirt and Solaris?

 I believe we currently have 0.4.0 integrated in current
 Nevada/OpenSolaris builds.

Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] kvm: maxVCPU runtime detection

 FYI, I'm about to post a patch that builds on this
 to offer max vcpu checking based on the kvm version
 which is parsed from the help message. Should also
 help providing useful values for older kernels and 
 kvm versions.
This is difficult since different architectures gained vcpu support in
different stages but even limited to i386/amd64 this is useful. We
should try the ioctal first in any case I think.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix segfault if no qemu emulator passed

2008-09-08 Thread Cole Robinson
There is unfortunately a pretty prevalent
segfault in the latest libvirt. If a qemu
domain is defined without an emulator
specified, libvirtd crashes.

This is doubly unfortunate since current
virtinst generates an emulator-less config
for all qemu and kvm guests (I'm about to fix
this upstream though).

Attached patch fixes this.

Thanks,
Cole
