I intentionally set things up so 'virsh help interface' lists
commands in alphabetical order, but 'man virsh' lists them in
topical order; this matches our practice on some other commands.
* tools/virsh.pod: Document all iface commands.
* tools/virsh.c (ifaceCmds): Sort.
The new flags allow to pick current state, config or the live
parameter, with current being the existing API default (0).
This also hooks this to --config, --live, --current parameters for
the memtune virsh command
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: defines the new flags
* tools/virsh.c: adds support at virsh level
* tools/virsh.pod: updates virsh documentation
Based on a smaller patch developed by Moritoshi Oshiro:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693963
* tools/virsh.pod (freecell): Mention all, and clarify that
optional cellno requires --cellno.
This patch adds the new options (--live, --config, and --current) to
"virsh setmaxmem" command. The behavior of above options is the same
as that of "virsh setmem". When the --config option is specified, a
modification is effective for the persistent domain, while the --live
option is specified, a modification is effective for an active
domain. The --current option is specified, it affects a current
domain.

This patch adds the new option (--current) to the "virsh setmem" command.
When --current option is specified, it affects a "current" domain.
The word "current" denotes that if a domain is running, it affects
a running domain only; otherwise it affects a persistent domain.

1) Both "qemuDomainStartWithFlags" and "qemuAutostartDomain" try to
restore the domain from managedsave'ed image if it exists (by
invoking "qemuDomainObjRestore"), but it unlinks the image even
if restoring fails, which causes data loss. (This problem exists
for "virsh managedsave dom; virsh start dom").
The fix for is to unlink the managed state file only if restoring
succeeded.
2) For "virsh save dom; virsh restore dom;", it can cause data
corruption if one reuse the saved state file for restoring. Add
doc to tell user about it.
3) In "qemuDomainObjStart", if "managed_save" is NULL, we shouldn't
fallback to start the domain, skipping it to cleanup as a incidental
fix. Discovered by Eric.
Commit 78ba748ef1 claims to fix
documentation for swap_hard_limit virsh memtune option but it only fixes
documentation in formatdomain.html and libvirt.h. This patch completes
the task by fixing "virsh help memtune" output and memtune section of
virsh man page.
The new commands vol-upload and vol-download, allow a local file
to be transferred to/from a storage volume.
* tools/virsh.c: Add vol-upload and vol-download commands
* tools/virsh.pod: Document new commands
The Open Nebula driver has been unmaintained since it was first
introduced. The only commits have been for tree-wide cleanups.
It also has a major design flaw, in that it only knows about guests
that it has created itself, which makes it of very limited use.
Discussions wrt evolution of the VMWare ESX driver, concluded that
it should limit itself to single-node ESX operation and not try to
manage the multi-node architecture of VirtualCenter. Open Nebula
is a cluster like Virtual Center, not a single node system, so
the same reasoning applies.
The DeltaCloud project includes an Open Nebula driver and is a much
better fit architecturally, since it is explicitly targetting the
distributed multihost cluster scenario.
Thus this patch deletes the libvirt Open Nebula driver with the
recommendation that people use DeltaCloud for managing it instead.
* configure.ac: Remove probe for xmlrpc & --with-one arg

This patch adds the new options (--live and --config) to "virsh setmem" command.
The behavior of above options is the same as that of "virsh setvcpus" and so on.
That is, when the --config option is specified, a modification is effective for
the persistent domain. Moreover we can modify the memory size of inactive domains
as well as that of active domains.

Currently users who want to use virDomainQemuMonitorCommand() API or
it's virsh equivalent has to use the same protocol as libvirt uses for
communication to qemu. Since the protocol is QMP with current qemu and
HMP much more usable for humans, one ends up typing something like the
following:
virsh qemu-monitor-command DOM \
'{"execute":"human-monitor-command","arguments":{"command-line":"info kvm"}}'
which is not a very convenient way of debugging qemu.
This patch introduces --hmp option to qemu-monitor-command, which says
that the provided command is in HMP. If libvirt uses QMP to talk with
qemu, the command will automatically be converted into QMP. So the
example above is simplified to just
virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOM "info kvm"
Also the result is converted from
{"return":"kvm support: enabled\r\n"}
to just plain HMP:
kvm support: enabled
If libvirt talks to qemu in HMP, --hmp flag is obviously a noop.
Use it in all places where a memory or storage request size is converted
to a larger granularity. This avoids requesting too small memory or storage
sizes that could result from the truncation done by a simple division.
This extends the round up fix in 6002e0406c
to the whole codebase.
Instead of reporting errors for odd values in the VMX code round them up.
Update the QEMU Argv tests accordingly as the original memory size 219200
isn't a even multiple of 1024 and is rounded up to 215 megabyte now. Change
it to 219100 and 219136. Use two different values intentionally to make
sure that rounding up works.
Update virsh.pod accordingly, as rounding down and rejecting are replaced
by rounding up.
If the memory of guest OS is changed constantly, the live migration
can not be ended ever for ever.
We can use the command 'virsh migrate-setmaxdowntime' to control the
live migration. But the value of maxdowntime is diffcult to calculate
because it depends on the transfer speed of network and constantly
changing memroy size. We need a easy way to control the live migration.
This patch adds the support of forcing guest to suspend at timeout.
With this patch, when we migrate the guest OS, we can specify a
timeout. If the live migration timeouts, auto-suspend the guest OS,
where the migration will complete offline.
The virt-mem program is no longer shipped, but was still being
referenced at the bottom of the virsh and libvirtd man pages.
This patch removes it from those man pages, addressing
BZ# 639603:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639603
This re-writes the 'virsh console' command so that it uses
the new streams API. This lets it run remotely and/or as a
non-root user. This requires that virsh be linked against
the simple event loop from libvirtd in daemon/event.c
As an added bonus, it can now connect to any console device,
not just the first one.
* tools/Makefile.am: Link to event.c
* tools/console.c, tools/console.h: Rewrite to use the
virDomainOpenConsole() APIs with streams
* tools/virsh.c: Support choosing the console name
via --devname $NAME
* tools/virsh.c (vshParseArgv): Use NULL instead of 0 for pointer,
and symbolic names for has_arg. Give --version an optional arg.
(vshUsage): Document this.
* tools/virsh.pod: Likewise.
To ease debugging this trivial patch allows to find what was compiled
in in the local version of libvirt, this doesn't work for remote access
but that's probably sufficient. With the patch I get on my machine:
paphio:~/libvirt/tools -> ./virsh -V
Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.8.4
See web site at http://libvirt.org/
Compiled with support for:
Hypervisors: Xen QEmu/KVM UML OpenVZ LXC ESX PHYP Test
Networking: Remote Daemon Network Bridging Netcf Nwfilter
Storage: Dir Disk Filesystem SCSI Multipath iSCSI LVM
Miscellaneous: SELinux Secrets Debug Readline
paphio:~/libvirt/tools ->
* tools/virsh.c: add -V option
* tools/virsh.pod: document the extension
Now that the virsh parsing has been revamped, we can
implement qemu-monitor-command. This is basically the same
as it was in previous iterations, but has now been tested to
work both with the plain text monitor and the QMP monitor.

Old virsh command parsing mashes all the args back into a string and
miss the quotes, this patches fix it. It is also needed for introducing
qemu-monitor-command which is very useful.
This patches uses the new vshCommandParser abstraction and adds
vshCommandArgvParse() for arguments vector, so we don't need
to mash arguments vector into a command sting.
And the usage was changed:
old:
virsh [options] [commands]
new:
virsh [options]... [<command_string>]
virsh [options]... <command> [args...]
So we still support commands like:
"define D.xml; dumpxml D" was parsed as a commands-string.
and support commands like:
we will not mash them into a string, we use new argv parser for it.
But we don't support the command like:
"define D.xml; dumpxml" was parsed as a command-name, but we have no such command-name.

This patch removes the individual author names from the libvirtd and virsh
man pages, instead referring to the main AUTHORS file distributed with
libvirt. This approach is needed, as we can't guarantee unicode support
across all versions of pod2man used with libvirt.
Additionally, this patch includes the libvirtd man page in the spec file
used with "make rpm". Without this patch "make rpm" is broken.
