This is partially in response to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653300 The crash in that report was coincidentally fixed when we switched from using inet_pton() to using virSocketParseAddr(), but the absence of an ip address in a dhcp static host definition was still silently ignored (and that entry discarded from the saved XML). This patch turns that into a logged failure; likewise if the entry has neither a mac address nor a name attribute (the entry is useless without at least one of those, plus an ip address). Since the network name is now pulled into this function in order for those error logs to be more informative, the other error messages in the function have also been changed to take advantage.
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.
