Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

While the changes to sanlock driver should be stable, the actual implementation of sanlock_helper is supposed to be replaced in the future. However, before we can implement a better sanlock_helper, we need an administrative interface to libvirtd so that the helper can just pass a "leases lost" event to the particular libvirt driver and everything else will be taken care of internally. This approach will also allow libvirt to pass such event to applications and use appropriate reasons when changing domain states. The temporary implementation handles all actions directly by calling appropriate libvirt APIs (which among other things means that it needs to know the credentials required to connect to libvirtd). |

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.
