The XML config for a CDROM device can be without a source path, indicating that there is no media present. Without this change the libxl driver fails to start a guest in that case because the libxl library checks for the LIBXL_DISK_FORMAT_EMPTY format type and tries to stat the NULL pointer that gets passed on. > libxl: error: libxl_device.c:265:libxl__device_disk_set_backend: > Disk vdev=hdc failed to stat: (null): Bad address Signed-off-by: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@canonical.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.
