The MAC addresses with 00:50:56 prefix are split into several ranges:
00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff 'static' range (manually assigned)
00:50:56:80:00:00 - 00:50:56:bf:ff:ff 'vpx' range (assigned by a VI Client)
Erroneously the 'vpx' range was assumed to be larger and to occupy the
remaining addresses of the 00:50:56 prefix that are not part of the 'static'
range.
00:50:56 was used as prefix for generated MAC addresses, this is not possible
anymore, because there are gaps in the allowed ranges. Therefore, change the
prefix to 00:0c:29 which is the prefix for auto generated MAC addresses anyway.
Allow arbitrary MAC addresses to be used and set the checkMACAddress VMX option
to false in case the MAC address doesn't fall into any predefined range.
* docs/drvesx.html.in: update website accordingly
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: set the auto generation prefix to 00:0c:29

addresses

The data passed to the callback is not guaranteed to be zero terminated,
take care of that by coping the data and adding a zero terminator.
Also dump the data for other types than CURLINFO_TEXT.
Set CURLOPT_VERBOSE to 1 so the debug callback is called when enabled.
A domain with virtualHW version 4 is allowed on an ESX 4.0 server.
If a domain is migrated from an ESX 3.5 server to an ESX 4.0 server
then the virtualHW version stays the same. So a ESX 4.0 server can
host domains with virtualHW version 4.
Set up the types for the domainMemoryStats function and insert it into the
virDriver structure definition. Because of static initializers, update
every driver and set the new field to NULL.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: new API
* src/driver.h src/*/*_driver.c src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: add the new
entry to the driver structure
* python/generator.py: fix compiler errors, the actual python binding is
implemented later
If a virtual machine is destroyed on a ESX server then immediately
undefining this virtual machine on a vCenter may fail, because the
vCenter has not been informed about the status change yet. Therefore,
destroy a virtual machine on a vCenter if available, so the vCenter
is up-to-date when the virtual machine should be undefined.
Undefining a virtual machine on an ESX server leaves a orphan on the
vCenter behind. So undefine a virtual machine on a vCenter if available
to fix this problem.
If an ESX host is managed by a vCenter, it knows the IP address of the
vCenter. Setting the vCenter query parameter to * allows to connect to the
vCenter known to an ESX host without the need to specify its IP address
or hostname explicitly.
esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive() lookup a domain by asking
ESX for all known domains and searching manually for the one with the
matching UUID. This is inefficient. The VI API allows to lookup by UUID
directly: FindByUuid().
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: change esxDomainLookupByUUID() and esxDomainIsActive()
to use esxVI_LookupVirtualMachineByUuid(), also reorder some functions to
keep them in sync with the driver struct
Questions can block tasks, to handle them automatically the driver can answers
them with the default answer. The auto_answer query parameter allows to enable
this automatic question handling.

driver functions

input pointer would be dereferenced.

right away for invalid inputs, rather than using them (which would
dereference NULL pointers) in clean-up code.
Replace free(virBufferContentAndReset()) with virBufferFreeAndReset().
Update documentation and replace all remaining calls to free() with
calls to VIR_FREE(). Also add missing calls to virBufferFreeAndReset()
and virReportOOMError() in OOM error cases.
esxVMX_IndexToDiskName handles indices up to 701. This limit comes
from a mapping gap in virDiskNameToIndex:
sdzy -> 700
sdzz -> 701
sdaaa -> 728
sdaab -> 729
This line in virDiskNameToIndex causes this gap:
idx = (idx + i) * 26;
Fixing it by altering this line to:
idx = (idx + (i < 1 ? 0 : 1)) * 26;
Also add a new version of virIndexToDiskName that handles the inverse
mapping for arbitrary indices.
* src/esx/esx_vmx.[ch]: remove esxVMX_IndexToDiskName
* src/util/util.[ch]: add virIndexToDiskName and fix mapping gap
* tests/esxutilstest.c: update test to verify that the gap is fixed
VMware uses two MAC address prefixes: 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56. The 00:0c:29
prefix is used for ESX server generated addresses. The 00:50:56 prefix is
split into two parts. MAC addresses above 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff are generated
by a vCenter. The rest of the 00:50:56 prefix can be assigned manually.
Any MAC address within the 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56 prefix can be specified
in a domain XML config and the driver will handle the details internally.

There is currently no way to determine the libvirt version of a remote
libvirtd we are connected to. This is a useful piece of data to enable
feature detection.
Introduce a number of new APIs to expose some boolean properties
of objects, which cannot otherwise reliably determined, nor are
aspects of the XML configuration.
* virDomainIsActive: Checking virDomainGetID is not reliable
since it is not possible to distinguish between error condition
and inactive domain for ID of -1.
* virDomainIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists
for the domain
* virNetworkIsActive: Check whether the network is active
* virNetworkIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists
for the network
* virStoragePoolIsActive: Check whether the storage pool is active
* virStoragePoolIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists
for the storage pool
* virInterfaceIsActive: Check whether the host interface is active
* virConnectIsSecure: whether the communication channel to the
hypervisor is secure
* virConnectIsEncrypted: whether any network based commnunication
channels are encrypted
NB, a channel can be secure, even if not encrypted, eg if it does
not involve the network, like a UNIX socket, or pipe.

A character device's target (it's interface in the guest) had only a
single property: port. This patch is in preparation for adding targets
which require other properties.
Since this changes the conf type for character devices this affects
a number of drivers:
* src/conf/domain_conf.[ch] src/esx/esx_vmx.c src/qemu/qemu_conf.c
src/qemu/qemu_driver.c src/uml/uml_conf.c src/uml/uml_driver.c
src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c src/xen/xend_internal.c src/xen/xm_internal.c:
target properties are moved into a union in virDomainChrDef, and a
targetType field is added to identify which union member should be
used. All current code which touches a virDomainChrDef is updated both
to use the new union field, and to populate targetType if necessary.
If an error occurs between the allocation of an item and appending it
to the list, the item leaks. Free such orphaned items in error cases.
* src/esx/esx_vi.c: free orphaned items in error cases
The default transport for the VI API is HTTPS. If the server redirects
from HTTPS to HTTP the driver would silently follow that redirection.
The user assumes to communicate with the server over a secure transport
but isn't.
This patch disables automatical redirection following. The driver reports
an error if the server tries to redirect.
* src/esx/esx_vi.c: refactor the call to curl_easy_perform() into a
function and do error handling there, disable automatical redirection
following for curl
* src/esx/esx_vi.h: change the type of responseCode to int
Unified function naming scheme:
- 'lookup' functions query the ESX or vCenter for information
- 'get' functions return information from a local object
* src/esx/esx_driver.c, src/esx/esx_vi.[ch]: unify function naming
In order to register a new virtual machine the ESX driver needs to upload
a VMX file to a datastore. Try to put this file beside the main VMDK file
of the virtual machine. Change the disk selection for datastore detection
to choose the first file-based harddisk instead of just the first disk.
The first disk may be a CDROM disk and ISO images are normaly not located
in the virtual machine's directory.
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: change disk selection for datastore detection
This allows to use domain-xml-from-native with VMX files that reference
unavailable datastores.
* src/esx/esx_vmx.c: fallback to the preliminary name if the datastore
cannot be found
Implementation of tunnelled migration, using a Unix Domain Socket
on the qemu backend. Note that this requires very new versions of
qemu (0.10.7 at least) in order to get the appropriate bugfixes.
