Tool such as libguestfs need the datacenter path to get access to disk images. The ESX driver knows the correct datacenter path, but this information cannot be accessed using libvirt API yet. Also, it cannot be deduced from the connection URI in a robust way. Expose the datacenter path in the domain XML as <vmware:datacenterpath> node similar to the way the <qemu:commandline> node works. The new node is ignored while parsing the domain XML. In contrast to <qemu:commandline> it is output only.
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.
