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
--device-write-iops-sec /dev/sda1,10000,/dev/sda2,0
This patch also add manpage for these new options.

Recent addition of the gluster pool type omitted fixing the virsh and
virConnectListAllStoragePool filters. A typecast of the converting
function in virsh showed that also the sheepdog pool was omitted in the
command parser.
This patch adds gluster pool filtering support and fixes virsh to
properly convert all supported storage pool types. The added typecast
should avoid doing such mistakes in the future.

When undefining a VM with storage the man page doesn't explicitly
mention that the volumes need to be a part of the storage pool otherwise
it won't work.
Though trying to destroy a physical HBA doesn't make sense at all,
it's still a bit misleading with saying "only works for HBA".

Commit e962a57 added 'attach-disk --shareable', even though we
already had 'attach-disk --mode=shareable'. Worse, if the user
types 'attach-disk --mode=readonly --shareable', we create
non-sensical XML. The best solution is just to undocument the
duplicate spelling, by having it fall back to the preferred
spelling.

Currently the virConnectBaselineCPU API does not expose the CPU features
that are part of the CPU's model. This patch adds a new flag,
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES, that causes the API to explicitly

Use the virDomainSetMemoryStatsPeriodFlags() to pass a period defined by
usage of a new --period option in order to set the collection period for the
balloon driver. This may enable or disable the collection based on the value.
Add the --current, --live, & --config options to dommemstat.
Paolo Bonzini pointed out that it's actually possible to migrate a qemu
instance that was paused due to I/O error and it will be able to work on
the destination if the storage is accessible.
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
functionality more explicit.
The virsh options that enable the use of the new flag are changed to
"--guest" and the documentation is fixed too.
This flag will allow to use qemu guest agent commands to disable
(offline) and enable (online) processors in a live guest that has the
guest agent running.
Explicitly state that using incomplete XML definition snippets for hot-management
commands may have unexpected results due to autogenerating values for some of
the fields if they aren't specified explicitly.
Newer pod (hello rawhide) complains if you attempt to mix bullets

keep pod happy.
* tools/virsh.pod (ENVIRONMENT): Use correct pod syntax.
virsh schedinfo was able to set only one parameter at a time (not
counting the deprecated options), but it is useful to set more at
once, so this patch adds the possibility to do stuff like this:
virsh schedinfo <domain> cpu_shares=0 vcpu_period=0 vcpu_quota=0 \
emulator_period=0 emulator_quota=0
Invalid scheduler options are reported as well. These were previously
reported only if the command hadn't updated any values (when
cmdSchedInfoUpdate returned 0).

The virsh(1) man page wasn't saying anything about the 'migrateuri'
parameter other than it can be usually omitted. A patched version of
docs/migrate.html.in is taken in this patch to fix that up in the man
page.
The man page states that with --config the next boot is affected. This
can be understood as if _only_ the next boot was affected. This isn't
true if the machine is running.
This patch adds the full --live, --config, --current infrastructure and
tweaks stuff to correctly support the obsolete --persistent flag.
Note that this patch changes the the behavior of the --config flag to match the
use of this flag in rest of libvirt. This flag was mistakenly renamed from
--persistent that originaly had different semantics.

The docs assumed the command works always for QEMU and other
hypervisors. As this is done using the balloon mechainism live increase

PCI devices, WWN makes no sense for them.
When a disk-only snapshot is requested the domain is treated as if it
was offline. This forbids to mix memory checkpoints with the DISK_ONLY
flag.
This patch improves the error message and mentions the restriction in
the virsh man page.
