esxVI_WaitForTaskCompletion can take a UUID to lookup the
corresponding domain and check if the current task for it
is blocked by a question. It calls another function to do
this: esxVI_LookupAndHandleVirtualMachineQuestion looks up
the VirtualMachine and checks for a question. If there is
a question it calls esxVI_HandleVirtualMachineQuestion to
handle it.
If there was no question or it has been answered the call
to esxVI_LookupAndHandleVirtualMachineQuestion returns 0.
If any error occurred during the lookup and answering
process -1 is returned. The problem with this is, that -1
is also returned when there was no error but the question
could not be answered. So esxVI_WaitForTaskCompletion cannot
distinguish between this two situations and reports that a
question is blocking the task even when there was actually
another problem.
This inherent problem didn't surface until vSphere 4.1 when
you try to define a new domain. The driver tries to lookup
the domain that is just in the process of being registered.
There seems to be some kind of race condition and the driver
manages to issue a lookup command before the ESX server was
able to register the domain. This used to work before.
Due to the return value problem described above the driver
reported a false error message in that case.
To solve this esxVI_WaitForTaskCompletion now takes an
additional occurrence parameter that describes whether or
not to expect the domain to be existent. Also add a new
parameter to esxVI_LookupAndHandleVirtualMachineQuestion
that allows to distinguish if the call returned -1 because
of an actual error or because the question could not be
answered.
There is actually a difference between the character device type (serial,
parallel, channel, ...) and the target type (virtio, guestfwd). Currently
they are awkwardly conflated.
Start to pull them apart by renaming targetType -> deviceType. This is
an entirely mechanical change.

Add a pointer to the primary context of a connection and use it in all
driver functions that don't dependent on the context type. This includes
almost all functions that deal with a virDomianPtr. Therefore, using
a vpx:// connection allows you to perform all the usual domain related
actions like start, destroy, suspend, resume, dumpxml etc.
Some functions that require an explicitly specified ESX server don't work
yet. This includes the host UUID, the hostname, the general node info, the
max vCPU count and the free memory. Also not working yet are migration and
defining new domains.
Also don't abuse the disk driver name to specify the SCSI controller
model anymore:
<driver name='buslogic'/>
Use the newly added model attribute of the controller element for this:
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='buslogic'/>
The disk driver name approach is deprecated now, but still works for
backward compatibility reasons.
Update the documentation and tests accordingly.
Fix usage of the words controller and id in the VMX handling code. Use
controller, bus and unit properly.
Eliminate almost all backward jumps by replacing this common pattern:
int
some_random_function(void)
{
int result = 0;
...
cleanup:
<unconditional cleanup code>
return result;
failure:
<cleanup code in case of an error>
result = -1;
goto cleanup
}
with this simpler pattern:
int
some_random_function(void)
{
int result = -1;
...
result = 0;
cleanup:
if (result < 0) {
<cleanup code in case of an error>
}
<unconditional cleanup code>
return result;
}
Add a bool success variable in functions that don't have a int result
that can be used for the new pattern.
Also remove some unnecessary memsets in error paths.
* src/esx/esx_vmx.c (esxVMX_GatherSCSIControllers): Do not dereference
a NULL disk->driverName. We already detect this condition in another
case. Check for it here, too.
Extend tests to cover all SCSI controller types and document the
new type.
The lsisas1068 SCSI controller type was added in ESX 4.0. The VMX
parser reports an error when this controller type is present. This
makes virsh dumpxml fail for every domain that uses this controller
type.
This patch fixes this and adds lsisas1068 to the list of accepted
SCSI controller types.
Reported by Jonathan Kelley.
Also define ESX_ERROR and ESX_VI_ERROR in a central place, instead of
defining them in each source file.
Add ESX_ERROR and ESX_VI_ERROR to the msg_gen_function list in cfg.mk.
Update po/POTFILES.in accordingly.

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

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.
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

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.

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.
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
An inaccessible datastore has no valid URL property so don't
access its URI property.

esxVMX_GatherSCSIControllers(), add basic handling for the VMX guestOS entry
to distinguish between i686 and x86_64, make SCSI virtualDev VMX entry
optional as it should be, map the VMX networkName entry to the domain XML
interface bridge name, add basic mapping for serial devices in pipe mode,
add several esxVMX_Format*() functions
Add the virStrncpy function, which takes a dst string, source string,
the number of bytes to copy and the number of bytes available in the
dest string. If the source string is too large to fit into the
destination string, including the \0 byte, then no data is copied and
the function returns NULL. Otherwise, this function copies n bytes
from source into dst, including the \0, and returns a pointer to the
dst string. This function is intended to replace all unsafe uses
of strncpy in the code base, since strncpy does *not* guarantee that
the buffer terminates with a \0.

* src/esx/esx_vmx.c: add an extra type of addressType beside 'static'

While trying to remove uses of unsafe strncpy in the tree, I came
across a couple of usages in the ESX driver. To my eyes, the snprintf
replacements do the same thing in less code, and are also safer.
