This patch adds a new --details option to the virsh vol-list
command, making its output more useful when many luns are
present.

This patch adds a new --details option to the virsh pool-list
command, making its output more useful to people who use virsh
for significant lengths of time.
Addresses BZ # 605543

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/601143, part 1 - document existing
behavior. Ever since Mar 2010 (commit ced154cb), the use of
'attach-disk' or 'attach-device' to change cdrom/floppy media has been
documented but deprecated, but the replacement to use 'update-device'
was not documented.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdAttachInterface, cmdAttachDisk): Fix bad error
message.
* tools/virsh.pod (attach-device, attach-disk): Refer to
update-device for cdrom and floppy behavior.
(update-device): Add documentation.
Presently the vol-key command only supports being provided with
a volume path.
This patch adds support for providing it with a pool and volume
identifier pair as well.
virsh # vol-key --pool <pool-name-or-uuid> <vol-name-or-path>
Make 'start --paused' mirror 'create --paused'.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdStart): Use new virDomainCreateWithFlags API
when needed.
* tools/virsh.pod (start): Document --paused.
This patch adds two new parameters to the vol-create-as command:
--backing-vol <volume-name-or-key-or-path>
--backing-vol-format <format-of-backing-vol>
virsh # vol-create-as guest_images_lvm snapvol1 5G --backing-vol \
rhel6vm1lun1
Vol snapvol1 created
virsh # vol-create-as image_dir qcow2snap2 5G --format qcow2 \
--backing-vol imagevol1.qcow2 \
--backing-vol-format qcow2
Vol qcow2snap2 created
Additionally, the virsh man page update fixes incorrect snapshot
parameters that were included in my prior bulk volume command patch.
This is just a trivial patch to virsh.pod (from git master). It adds the
following pieces to the virsh man page:
+ Shows the --inactive and --all optional parameters for the list
command.
Closes Bugzilla #575512, reported by Renich Bon Ciric
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575512
+ Corrects the existing description of the list command, to now say
that only running domains are listed if no domains are specified.
The man page up until this point has said all domains are listed if
no domains are specified, which is incorrect.
+ Adds the "shut off" state to the list of states for the list
command.
+ Adds a missing =back around line 755, that pod2man was complaining
was missing.
With Eric Blake's spelling corrections applied.
Unfortunately after the 0.8.0 release, but here's a beginning of the
documentation of the nwfilter functionality.
Document several missing commands. There's more work that could be
done, but incremental improvements is better than no patch at all.
* tools/virsh.pod (autostart, connect): Improve grammar.
(create): Improve example.
(domjobabort, domjobinfo, domxml-from-native, domxml-to-native):
Document.
(storage pool commands): New section.
Call me lazy: some shells use exit (e.g. sh), others use quit (e.g. ftp),
but I never remember which. So it's faster to write a patch to make
virsh take both than it is to take a 50-50 guess, and get it wrong
in half of my attempts.
* tools/virsh.c (commands): Add 'exit'.
* tools/virsh.pod: Document it.
Common Unix practice is to prefer VISUAL over EDITOR, particularly if
the editor of choice spawns a new window. Thus, it is also common to
see settings like EDITOR='emacs -nw', with the expectation that the
shell will parse this as an argument to 'emacs' and not try to invoke
a file containing a space.
If a user puts junk in EDITOR, they deserve what they get (much more
than virsh will misbehave); furthermore, sudo scrubs EDITOR by
default. So the blind use of metacharacters in EDITOR should not be
considered too much of a security issue.
* tools/virsh.c (editFile): Prefer VISUAL over EDITOR. Don't
reject shell metacharacters in EDITOR.
* tools/virsh.pod (edit, net-edit, ENVIRONMENT): Document VISUAL.
Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487738.
This adds a new flag, VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED, that mandates pausing
the migrated VM before starting it.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainMigrateFlags): Add VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainMigrateFinish2): Handle VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_migrate): Add --suspend. (cmdMigrate): Handle it.
* tools/virsh.pod (migrate): Document it.
* tools/virsh.pod: the man page was stating that most operations
are asynchronous while in fact most of them are synchronous except
domain shutdown, setvcpus and setmem.
Move the virsh tool and its man page into the tools directory
* Makefile.am: Remove rules for virsh.1 man page
* virsh.1: Remove auto-generated file
* docs/Makefile.am: Remove rules for virsh.pod man page
* docs/virsh.pod: Move to tools/ directory
* src/Makefile.am, src/.gitignore: Remove rules for virsh
* src/console.c, src/console.h, src/*.ico, src/virsh_win_icon.rc,
src/virsh.c: Move into tools/ directory
* tools/Makefile.am: Add rules for building virsh
* tools/.gitignore: Ignore virsh built files
* tests/virshtest.c, tests/int-overflow: Update for new
virsh location
