Snapshots and block-copy have a flag that forces qemu to re-use existing
file. Our docs weren't exactly clear on what the existing file should
contain for this to actually work.
Re-word the docs a bit to state that the file needs to be pre-created in
the desired format and the backing chain metadata needs to be set prior
to handing it over to qemu.

By default, the bus type is inferred from the style of the device
name('target' in this command), e.g. a device named 'sda' will
typically be exported using a SCSI bus. Actually, not only SCSI bus,

Peter's review of an early version of my addition of active block
commit pointed out some issues that I was copying from the block
copy code; fix them up now before perpetuating them.
For virsh commands that manage a single API call, it's nice to have
a 1:1 mapping of options to flags, so that we can test that
lower-layer software handles flag combinations correctly. But where
virsh is introducing syntactic sugar to combine multiple API calls
into a single user interface, we might as well make that interface
compact. That is, we should allow the shorter command-line of
'blockcopy $dom $disk --pivot' without having to explicitly specify
--wait, because this isn't directly a flag passed to a single
underlying API call.
Also, my use of embedded ?: ternaries bordered on unreadable.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCopy): Make --pivot, --finish,
and --timeout imply --wait. Drop excess ?: operators.

We allow translation from no_bandwidth to has_bandwidth for a vnic.
However, going in the opposite direction is not implemented. It's not
limitation of the API rather than internal implementation. The problem
is, we correctly detect that user hasn't specified any outbound (say
he wants to clear out outbound). However, this gets overwritten by
current vnic outbound settings. Then, virNetDevBandwidthSet doesn't
change anything. We need to stop overwriting the outbound if users
don't want us to. Same applies for inbound.

Introducing keepalive similarly to Guannan around 2 years ago. Since
we want to introduce keepalive for every connection, it makes sense to
wrap the connecting function into new virsh one that can deal
keepalive as well.
Function vshConnect() is now used for connecting and keepalive added
in that function (if possible) helps preventing long waits e.g. while
nework goes down during migration.
This patch also adds the options for keepalive tuning into virsh and
fails connecting only when keepalives are explicitly requested and
cannot be set (whether it is due to missing support in connected
driver or remote server). If not explicitely requested, a debug
message is printed (hence the addition to virsh-optparse test).

Similar to our event-test demo program, it's nice to be able to
have a mode where we can sniff all events at once, rather than
having to spawn multiple virsh in parallel with one for each
event type.
(Can I just say our RegisterAny design is lousy? The fact that
the majority of our callback pointers have a function signature
with the opaque data in a different position, and that we have
to cast the function signature before registering it, makes it
hard to write a generic callback function; we have to write one
for every type of event id. Life would have been easier if we
had designed the callback as a fixed signature with a void*
and size parameter, and then allowed the caller to downcast
the void* to a particular struct for data specific to their
callback id, where we could have then had a single function
with a switch statement for each event id, and register that
one function for all types of events. It would also be nicer
if the callback functions knew which callbackID was being used
when invoking that callback, so that I could use a common data
structure among all registrations instead of having to create
an array of one data per callback. But I really don't want to
go add yet another event API design.)

Recent autotest/virt-test testing on f20 discovered an anomaly in how
the bandwidth options are documented and used. This was discovered due
to a bug fix in the /sbin/tc utility found in iproute-3.11.0.1 (on f20)
in which overflow was actually caught and returned as an error. The fix
was first introduced in iproute-3.10 (search on iproute2 commit 'a303853e').
The autotest/virt-test test for virsh domiftune was attempting to send
the largest unsigned integer value (4294967295) for maximum value
testing. The libvirt xml implementation was designed to manage values
in kilobytes thus when this value was passed to /sbin/tc, it (now)
properly rejected the 4294967295kbps value.
Investigation of the problem discovered that formatdomain.html.in and
formatnetwork.html.in described the elements and property types slightly
differently, although they use the same code - virNetDevBandwidthParseRate()
(shared by portgroups, domains, and networks xml parsers). Rather than
have the descriptions in two places, this patch will combine and reword
the description under formatnetwork.html.in and have formatdomain.html.in
link to that description.
This documentation faux pas was continued into the virsh man page where
the bandwidth description for both 'attach-interface' and 'domiftune'
did not indicate the format of each value, thus leading to the test using
largest unsigned integer value assuming "bps" rather than "kbps", which
ultimately was wrong.
And provide domain summary stat in that case, for lxc backend.
Use case is a container inheriting all devices from the host,
e.g. when doing application containerization.
For pool which relies on remote resources, such as a "iscsi" type
pool, since how long it takes to export the corresponding devices
to host's sysfs is really depended, it could depend on the network
connection, it also could depend on the host's udev procedures. So
it's likely that the volumes are not able to be detected during pool
starting process, polling the sysfs doesn't work, since we don't
know how much time is best for the polling, and even worse, the
volumes could still be not detected or partly not detected even after
the polling. So we end up with a documentation to prompt the fact,
in virsh manual.
And as a small improvement, let's explicitly say no LUNs found in
the debug log in that case.
Explicitly lists the possible values for "--target" option;
Gets rid of the confused strings like "Suspend-to-RAM";
Emphasises the node *has to* be suspended in the time duration
specified by "--duration". And rewords the entire document a
bit according to the API's implementation and document.
With this patch, user can setup the throttle blkio cgorup
for domain through the virsh cmd, such as:
virsh blkiotune domain1 --device-read-bytes-sec /dev/sda1,1000000,/dev/sda2,2000000
--device-write-bytes-sec /dev/sda1,1000000 --device-read-iops-sec /dev/sda1,10000

Paolo Bonzini pointed out that it's actually possible to migrate a qemu

This patch introduces flag VIR_MIGRATE_ABORT_ON_ERROR that cancels the
migration in case an I/O error happens while it's being performed and
allows migration without this flag. This flag can be possibly used for
other error reasons that may be introduced in the future.
This patch fixes changes done in commit 29c1e913e4
that was pushed without implementing review feedback.
The flag introduced by the patch is changed to VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_GUEST and
documentation makes the difference between regular hotplug and this new

The virsh options that enable the use of the new flag are changed to

Offline migration transfers inactive definition of a domain (which may
or may not be active). After successful completion, the domain remains
in its current state on source host and is defined but inactive on
destination host. It's a bit more clever than virDomainGetXMLDesc() on
source host followed by virDomainDefineXML() on destination host, as
offline migration will run pre-migration hook to update the domain XML
on destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not
supported during offline migration.
Offline migration can be requested with a new migration flag called
VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE (which has to be combined with
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag).
As we enable more modes of snapshot creation, it becomes more important

This reverts commits 5f63a5cb42

should implement a way for users to provide their own aliases
as part of their virsh configuration preferences.
External checkpoints could be created with snapshot-create, but
without libvirt supplying a default name for the memory file,
it is essential to add a new argument to snapshot-create-as to
allow the user to choose the memory file name. This adds the
option --memspec [file=]name[,snapshot=type], where type can
be none, internal, or external. For an example,
virsh snapshot-create-as $dom --memspec /path/to/file

The default behavior while creating external checkpoints is to pause the

We always expose individual bits from flags as separate options rather
than exposing a raw flags options. Since virNodeSuspendForDuration does

omitting the option. Thus it is highly unlikely anyone would actually be
using it and removing it should be safe.

Upstream kernel introduced new sysfs knob "merge_across_nodes" to

Using VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, one can request domain's XML
configuration that is suitable for migration or save/restore. Such XML

older libvirt releases.
This flag may serve as an easy way to get the XML that can be passed
(after desired modifications) to APIs that accept custom XMLs, such as
virDomainMigrate{,ToURI}2 or virDomainSaveFlags.

* tools/virsh.pod (qemu-monitor-command): Document it.
This command uses the new virNetworkUpdate() API to modify an existing
network definition, and optionally have those modifications take
effect immediately without restarting the network.
An example usage:
virsh net-update mynet add-last ip-dhcp-host \
"<host mac='00:11:22:33:44:55' ip='192.168.122.45'/>" \
--live --config
If you like, you can instead put the xml into a file, and call like
this:
virsh net-update mynet add ip-dhcp-host /tmp/myxml.xml
--live --config
virsh will autodetect whether the argument is itself an xml element,
or if it's a file, by looking at the first character - the first
character of an xml element is always "<", and the first character of
a file is almost always *not* "<" (in the rare case that it is, the
user could specify "./<filename...").
A --parent-index option is also available (to give the index within a
list of parent objects, e.g. the index of the parent <ip> element when
updating ip-dhcp-host elements), but is optional and at least for now
will probably be used rarely.
--live, --config, and --current options - if you specify --live, only
the live state of the network will be updated. If you also specify
--config, then the persistent configuration will also be updated;
these two commands can be given separately, or both together. If you
don't specify either (you can optionally specify "--current" for the
same effect), then the "current" config will be updated (i.e. if the
network is active, then only its live config is affected, but if the
network is inactive, only the persistent config is affected).
The new command 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk' requests the start
of an asynchronous commit operation across the entire chain of
$disk. Further arguments can fine-tune which portion of the
chain is committed. Existing 'virsh blockjob' commands can then
track the status, change the bandwidth, or abort the commit job.
With a bit more on the command line, 'virsh blockcommit $dom $disk
--wait --verbose' can be used for blocking behavior, with visual
feedback on the overall status, and can be canceled with Ctrl-C.
The overall design, including the wait loop logic, borrows heavily
from the existing blockpull command.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCommit): New function.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcommit): Document it.
New command node-memory-tune to get/set the node memory parameters,
only two parameters are allowed to set (pages_to_scan, and sleep_millisecs,
see documents in this patch for more details).
Example of node-memory-tune's output:
Shared memory:
pages_to_scan 100
sleep_millisecs 20
pages_shared 0
pages_sharing 0
pages_unshared 0
pages_volatile 0
full_scans 0
This introduces four new options for secret-list, to filter the
returned secrets by whether it's ephemeral or not, and/or by
whether it's private or not.
* tools/virsh-secret.c: (New helper vshSecretSorter,
vshSecretListFree, and vshCollectSecretList; Use the new
API for secret-list; error out if flags are specified,
because there is no way to filter the results when using
old APIs (no APIs to get the properties (ephemeral, private)
of a secret yet).
* tools/virsh.pod: Document the 4 new options.
tools/virsh-nodedev.c:
* vshNodeDeviceSorter to sort node devices by name
* vshNodeDeviceListFree to free the node device objects list.
* vshNodeDeviceListCollect to collect the node device objects, trying
to use new API first, fall back to older APIs if it's not supported.
* Change option --cap to accept multiple capability types.
tools/virsh.pod
* Update document for --cap
tools/virsh-network.c:
* vshNetworkSorter to sort networks by name
* vshNetworkListFree to free the network objects list.
* vshNetworkListCollect to collect the network objects, trying
to use new API first, fall back to older APIs if it's not supported.
* New options --persistent, --transient, --autostart, --no-autostart,
for net-list, and new field 'Persistent' for its output.
tools/virsh.pod:
* Add documents for the new options.
tools/virsh-pool.c:
* vshStoragePoolSorter to sort the pool list by pool name.
* struct vshStoragePoolList to present the pool list, pool info
is collected by list->poolinfo if 'details' is specified by
user.
* vshStoragePoolListFree to free the pool list
* vshStoragePoolListCollect to collect the pool list, new API
virStorageListAllPools is tried first, if it's not supported,
fall back to older APIs.
* New options --persistent, --transient, --autostart, --no-autostart
and --type for pool-list. --persistent or --transient is to filter
the returned pool list by whether the pool is persistent or not.
--autostart or --no-autostart is to filter the returned pool list
by whether the pool is autostarting or not. --type is to filter
the pools by pool types. E.g.
% virsh pool-list --all --persistent --type dir,disk
tools/virsh.pod:
* Add documentations for the new options.
The storage pool's management doesn't relate with a domain, it
probably was an intention, but not achieved yet. And the fact
is only active pools are listed by default.
The bandwidth units for blockpull and blockcopy are in Megabytes per
Second, not Megabits per Second.

This patch adds two macros: VIR_DOMAIN_SCHEDULER_EMULATOR_PERIOD,
VIR_DOMAIN_SCHEDULER_EMULATOR_QUOTA for controlling cpu bandwidth
for emulator activities not tied to vcpus
Change the permissible minimum value of nodesuspend duration time
to 60 seconds. If option is less than the value, reports error.
Update virsh help and manpage the infomation.
When --direct is used when migrating a domain running on a hypervisor
that does not support direct migration (such as QEMU), the caller would
get the following error message:
this function is not supported by the connection driver:
virDomainMigrateToURI2
which is a complete nonsense since qemu driver implements
virDomainMigrateToURI2. This patch would emit a more sensible error in
this case:
Requested operation is not valid: direct migration is not supported
by the connection driver
v2:
- Refactored to use virBuffer
- Refactored to use virXPath wrappers
- Added support for tls-port and password for SPICE
- Added optional flag to disable SPICE password to the URI
- Added support for RDP
- Fixed code reviews
Add a new 'domdisplay' command that provides a URI for VNC, SPICE and
RDP connections. Presently the 'vncdisplay' command provides you with
the port info that QEMU is listening on but there is no counterpart for
SPICE and RDP. Additionally this provides you with the bind address as
specified in the XML, which the existing 'vncdisplay' lacks. For SPICE
connections it supports secure and unsecure channels and optionally
providing the password for the SPICE channel.

Storage is one of the last domains in libvirt where we don't fully
utilize inactive and live XML. Okay, it might be because we don't
have support for that. So implement such support. However, we need
to fallback when talking to old daemon which doesn't support this
new flag called VIR_STORAGE_XML_INACTIVE.
This patch makes use of the newly added api virConnectListAllDomains()
to list domains in virsh.
Virsh now represents lists of domains using an internal structure
vshDomainList. This structure contains the virDomainPtr list as provided
by virConnectListAllDomains() and the count of domains in the list.
For backwards compatibility, the function vshDomainListCollect was added
that tries to enumerate the domains using the new API and if the API is
not supported falls back to the older approach with the two list
functions. The helper function also simulates filtering by all
currently supported flags added with virConnectListAllDomains().
This patch also cleans up the "list" command handler to use the new
helpers and adds new command line flags to make use of filtering.
Previously, to get the name of all snapshots with children, it was
necessary to get the name of all snapshots and then remove the
name of leaf snapshots. This is racy, and somewhat inefficient
compared to planned API additions. We can emulate --no-metadata on
0.9.5-0.9.12, but for now, there is no emulation of --no-leaves.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotList): Add new options --no-leaves and
--no-metadata.
(vshSnapshotList): Emulate where possible.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-list): Document them.
as we are missing:
attach-disk: --type can accept 'lun' too, not just cdrom or floppy.

attach-interface: --target silently drops strings with vnet* prefix
commit 52d064f42d added
VIR_NETWORK_XML_INACTIVE in order to allow suppressing the
auto-generated list of VFs in network definitions, and a --inactive
flag to virsh net-dumpxml to take advantage of the flag. However, it
missed out on two opportunities:
1) Use INACTIVE to get the current config of the network as it
exists on disk, rather than the currently active config.
2) Add INACTIVE to the flags used for the virsh net-edit command, so
that it won't include the forward-pool interfaces that were
autogenerated, and so that a re-edit of the network prior to
restarting it will show any other edits made since the last restart
of the network. (prior to this patch, if you edited a network a 2nd
time without restarting, all of the previous edits would magically
disappear).
In order to fit with the new #define-based generic edit function in
virsh.c, a new function vshNetworkGetXMLDesc() was added. This
function first tries to call virNetworkGetXMLDesc with the INACTIVE
flag added, then retries without if the first attempt fails (in the
manner expected when the server doesn't support it).
Expose the recent API additions in virsh. Borrows ideas from 'dominfo'
for the general type of information to display.
Output looks like:
$ tools/virsh snapshot-info fedora-local tmp

Domain: fedora-local
Current: no
State: disk-snapshot

possibly with fewer lines when talking to older servers.

* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-info): Document it.
Rather than further overloading 'blockpull', I decided to create a
new virsh command to expose the new flags of virDomainBlockRebase.
Blocking until the command completes naturally is pointless, since
the block copy job is intended to run indefinitely. Instead, I
made the command support three --wait modes: by default, it runs until
mirroring is started; with --pivot, it pivots as soon as mirroring
is started; and with --finish, it aborts (for a clean copy) as
soon as mirroring is started.
* tools/virsh.c (VSH_CMD_BLOCK_JOB_COPY): New mode.
(blockJobImpl): Support new flags.
(cmdBlockCopy): New command.
(cmdBlockJob): Support new job info, new abort flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockcopy, blockjob): Document the new command
and flags.
I'm tired of shell-scripting to wait for completion of a block pull,
when virsh can be taught to do the same. I couldn't quite reuse
vshWatchJob, as this is not a case of a long-running command where
a second thread must be used to probe job status (at least, not unless
I make virsh start doing blocking waits for an event to fire), but it
served as inspiration for my simpler single-threaded loop. There is
up to a half-second delay between sending SIGINT and the job being
aborted, but I didn't think it worth the complexity of a second thread
and use of poll() just to minimize that delay.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdBlockPull): Add new options to wait for
completion.
(blockJobImpl): Add argument.
(cmdBlockJob): Adjust caller.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockjob): Document new mode.
Block job cancellation can take a while. Now that upstream qemu 1.1
has asynchronous block cancellation, we want to expose that to the user.
Therefore, the following updates are made to the virDomainBlockJob API:
A new block job event type VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED is managed by
libvirt. Regardless of the flags used with virDomainBlockJobAbort, this
event will be raised: 1. when using synchronous block_job_cancel (the
event will be synthesized by libvirt), and 2. whenever it is received
from qemu (via asynchronous block-job-cancel). Note that the event
may be detected by libvirt even before the virDomainBlockJobAbort
completes (always true when it is synthesized, but also possible if
cancellation was fast).
A new extension flag VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_ASYNC is added to the
virDomainBlockJobAbort API. When enabled, this function will allow
(but not require) asynchronous operation (ie, it returns as soon as
possible, which might be before the job has actually been canceled).
When the API is used in this mode, it is the responsibility of the
caller to wait for a VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED event or poll via
the virDomainGetBlockJobInfo API to check the cancellation status.
This patch also exposes the new flag through virsh, and makes virsh
slightly easier to use (--async implies --abort, and lack of any options
implies --info), although it leaves the qemu implementation for later
patches.

The documentation for the flag doesn't clearly state that the flag only
enhances the output and the user needs to specify other flags to list
inactive domains, that are enhanced by this flag.
