Before, URIs such as hyperv+ssh:// have been declined by the Hyper-V
driver resulting in the remote driver trying to connect to an
non-existing libvirtd.
Now such URIs trigger an error in the yper-V driver suggesting to
try again without the transport part in the scheme.
Domain listing, basic information retrieval and domain life cycle
management is implemented. But currently the domain XML output
lacks the complete devices section.
The driver uses OpenWSMAN to directly communicate with a Hyper-V
server over its WS-Management interface exposed via Microsoft WinRM.
The driver is based on the work of Michael Sievers. This started in
the same master program project group at the University of Paderborn
as the ESX driver.
See Michael's blog for details: http://hyperv4libvirt.wordpress.com/
Add a generator script to generate the structs and serialization
information for OpenWSMAN.
openwsman.h collects workarounds for problems in OpenWSMAN <= 2.2.6.
There are also disabled sections that would use ws_serializer_free_mem
but can't because it's broken in OpenWSMAN <= 2.2.6. Patches to fix
this have been posted upstream.
