Virsh shouldn't check for driver support but rather let the backend handled this.
After removing the check, I can successfully attach file-based images to a qemu
VM with attach-disk.
% virsh attach-disk vm2 /images/test02.img vdc --driver qemu --type disk --subdriver raw
Disk attached successfully
This command generates the following XML:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source dev='/images/test02.img'/>
<target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
<alias name='virtio-disk2'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>

Since libvirt-guests init script and its configuration do not require
libvirtd to be running/installed, it was a bad idea to put them into
daemon directory. libvirt.spec even includes these files in
libvirt-client subpackage, which may result in build failure for
client-only builds when the whole daemon directory is just skipped.
it was using atoi direct without checking leading to confusion
in case of flag error for example with -c
* tools/virsh.c: vshParseArgv() use virStrToLong_i and remove the
unchecked atoi used to parse teh parameter
After playing around with virsh setmaxmem for a bit,
I ran into some surprising behavior; if a hypervisor does
not support the virDomainSetMaxMemory() API, but the value
specified for setmaxmem is less than the current amount
of memory in the domain, the domain would be ballooned
down *before* an error was reported.
To make this more consistent, run virDomainSetMaxMemory()
before trying to shrink; that way, if an error is thrown,
no changes to the running domain are made.

The virsh command "setmem" takes as input a number that
should represent an unsigned long number of kilobytes. Fix
cmdSetmem to properly parse this as an unsigned long instead
of an int.

The virsh option error reporting was not being used
consistently; some commands would spit out errors on
missing required options while others would just silently fail.
However, vshCommandOptString knows which ones are required
and which ones aren't, so make it spit out an error where
appropriate. The rest of the patch is just cleaning up
the uses of vshCommandOptString to deal with the new error
reporting.

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.
When printing out size_t, we need to use %zu to make sure it
will continue to compile on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609044 complained
that 'virsh help pool-create-as' didn't document the shortcut
that you can do 'virsh pool-create-as $name $type --target $target'
rather than having to supply the four optional source- arguments
in order to fill out the necessary positional arguments.
This one-liner changes the help output to hopefully make this more obvious:
NAME
pool-create-as - create a pool from a set of args
SYNOPSIS
pool-create-as <name> [--print-xml] <type> [<source-host>] [<source-path>] [<source-dev>] [<source-name>] [<target>] [--source-format <string>]
DESCRIPTION
Create a pool.
OPTIONS
[--name] <string> name of the pool
--print-xml print XML document, but don't define/create
[--type] <string> type of the pool
[--source-host] <string> source-host for underlying storage
[--source-path] <string> source path for underlying storage
[--source-dev] <string> source device for underlying storage
[--source-name] <string> source name for underlying storage
[--target] <string> target for underlying storage
--source-format <string> format for underlying storage
* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefHelp): Make it more obvious that data
arguments may, but not must, be specified by option leaders.
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.

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.
This patch adds the persistence status (yes/no) to the output of the virsh
dominfo and pool-info commands. This patch also adds the autostart status
to the output of the virsh pool-info command.

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 patch adds a new "vol-pool" command to virsh, to round out the
identifier conversion functions for volumes in virsh. Now it is
possible to work with volumes when starting from just a volume key
or volume path.
When creating pools from dedicated disks, the existing pool-define-as
and pool-create-as commands are a bit non-optimal.
Ideally, a person would be able to specify all of the required options
directly on the command line instead of having to edit the XML.
At the moment, there is no way to specify the format type (ie gpt) so it
gets included in the XML the pool is constructed with.
Please find attached a simple (tested) patch to add an optional
"--source-format 'type'" to virsh. This is patched against current git
master and will apply cleanly.
Also created a Red Hat BZ ticket for this (#597790) for tracking.
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.
Matthias noted that the line:
virt_aa_helper_LDFLAGS = $(WARN_CFLAGS)
looks inconsistent, so I did an audit.
Currently, the set of compiler warning flags passed to gcc as $CC are
equally permitted as the set of linker flags passed to gcc as $LD, so
there was no problem with that usage. But if we ever get in a
situation where $CC and $LD treat particular flags differently, using
the right variable form will make it easier.
In the process, I spotted a couple of typos that were omitting useful
flags, as well as specifying a -l under the wrong variable.
* acinclude.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Define WARN_LDFLAGS as
an alias for WARN_CFLAGS.
* tools/Makefile.am (virsh_LDFLAGS): Use more canonical spelling.
* proxy/Makefile.am (libvirt_proxy_LDFLAGS): Likewise. Move

For example, virsh -c test:///default schedinfo 1 --set P=k would
mistakenly exit successfully, giving no indication that it had failed

rather than silently ignoring it.
* tests/virsh-schedinfo: New test for the above.

Support for live migration between hosts that do not share storage was
added to qemu-kvm release 0.12.1.
It supports two flags:
-b migration without shared storage with full disk copy
-i migration without shared storage with incremental copy (same base image
shared between source and destination).
I tested the live migration without shared storage (both flags) for native
and p2p with and without tunnelling. I also verified that the fix doesn't
affect normal migration with shared storage.
WIN32 is always defined when __MINGW32__ is defined, but the
converse is not true. WIN32 is more generic, if someone were
to ever attempt porting to a microsoft compiler. This does
not affect Cygwin, which intentionally does not define WIN32.

This applies a fix to thos functions similar to that made to cmdEdit
in 270895063d, thus fnixing a memory
leak - if tmp is unlinked and NULLed early in the function, the memory
used by tmp is never freed. Since we will always unlink tmp prior to
freeing its memory at the end of the function, just remove the earlier
code and let cleanup: do the cleanup.
Ubuntu's gntls package generates an Issuer line that looks like this:
Issuer: C=US,ST=NY,L=Rochester,O=example.com,CN=example.com CA,EMAIL=hostmaster@example.com
While Red Hat's looks like this
Issuer: CN=Red Hat Emerging Technologies
Note the leading whitespace, and the additional fields in the former.
This patch updates the regular expression to:
* trim leading characters before "Issuer:"
* trim anything between Issuer: and CN=
* trim anything after the next ,
I've tested this against the certool output of both RH and Ubuntu
generated certs.

When running virsh edit, we are unlinking and setting

Unfortunately after the 0.8.0 release, but here's a beginning of the

When hitting failures in virsh, a common idiom is
to jump to a cleanup label, free some resources, and
then return a FALSE error code to vshCommandRun.
In theory, vshCommandRun is then supposed to print
out the last error. The problem is that many of
the cleanup paths have library calls to free resources,
and all of those library calls clear out the last error.
This is leading to situations where no error is being
reported at all.
This patch remedies the situation somewhat by
printing out the errors inside the command methods
themselves when we know it will go through a cleanup
path that will lose the error.

A lot of syntax check rules have to be rewritten, but the

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.

This flag is used in migration prepare step to send updated XML

Also ``virsh dumpxml --update-cpu [--inactive] guest'' command can be

Support the new virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags API in virsh by adding
a new 'update-device' command. In the future this should be augmented
with an explicit 'change-disk' command for media change to make it
end user discoverable, as attach-disk is.
* tools/virsh.c: Add 'update-device' command
If you ran virsh in interactive mode and ran a command
that virsh could not parse, it would then SEGV
on subsequent commands. The problem is that we are
freeing the vshCmd structure in the syntaxError label
at the end of vshCommandParse, but forgetting to
set ctl->cmd to NULL. This means that on the next command,
we would try to free the same structure again, leading
to badness.
* tools/virsh.c: Make sure to set ctl->cmd to NULL after
freeing it in vshCommandParse()
No functional change. These all generated compiler warnings which, for
some reason weren't converted to errors by
--enable-compiler-warnings=error.
* tools/virsh.c:

- remove unused variables/labels from two functions
- eliminate non-literal format strings
- typecast char* into xmlChar* when calling
- xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory
When the daemon libvirtd restarts, a connected virsh gets a SIGPIPE
and dies. This change the behaviour to try to reconnect if the
signal was received or command error indicated a connection or RPC
failure. Note that the failing command is not restarted.

failures, add some automatic reconnection code and appropriate error
messages.
With N_() in place, we can use it for a smaller file.
* doc/api-extension/0008-Step-8-of-8-Add-virsh-support.patch:
Replace all uses of gettext_noop with N_.
* tools/virsh.c: Likewise, throughout the file.
It is a bad idea to call gettext on an already-translated
string. In cases where a string must be translated separately
from where it is exposed to xgettext, the gettext manual
recommends the idiom of N_() wrapping gettext_noop for
marking the string.
* src/internal.h (N_): Fix definition to match gettext manual.
* tools/virsh.c: (cmdHelp, cmdList, cmdDomstate, cmdDominfo)
(cmdVcpuinfo, vshUsage): Replace incorrect use of N_ with _.
(vshCmddefHelp): Likewise. Mark C format strings appropriately.
This supports cancellation of jobs for the QEMU driver against
the virDomainMigrate, virDomainSave and virDomainCoreDump APIs.
It is not yet supported for the virDomainRestore API, although
it is desirable.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Issue 'migrate_cancel' command if
virDomainAbortJob is issued during a migration operation
* tools/virsh.c: Add a domjobabort command
Introduce support for virDomainGetJobInfo in the QEMU driver. This
allows for monitoring of any API that uses the 'info migrate' monitor
command. ie virDomainMigrate, virDomainSave and virDomainCoreDump
Unfortunately QEMU does not provide a way to monitor incoming migration
so we can't wire up virDomainRestore yet.
The virsh tool gets a new command 'domjobinfo' to query status
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Record virDomainJobInfo and start time
in qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr objects. Add generic shared handler
for calling 'info migrate' with all migration based APIs.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: Fix parsing of 'info migration' reply
* tools/virsh.c: add new 'domjobinfo' command to query progress
* tools/virsh.c (cmdPoolDiscoverSources): Always initialize srcSpec.
Otherwise, clang would report that srcSpec could be used uninitialized
in the call to virConnectFindStoragePoolSources.
Only API calls trigger the error callback, which is required for
proper virsh error reporting. Since we use non API functions from
util/, make sure we properly report these errors.
