It's possible to create a container with existing disk image as root filesystem. You need to remove existing disks from PCS VM config and then add a new one, pointing to your image. And then call PrlVm_RegEx with PRNVM_PRESERVE_DISK flag. With this patch you can create such container with something like this for new domain XML config: <filesystem type='file' accessmode='passthrough'> <driver type='ploop' format='ploop'/> <source file='/path-to-image'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Guryanov <dguryanov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
