Some simple examples on how to use the Python API for libvirt
|
|
|
|
The examples are:
|
|
|
|
dominfo.py - print information about a running domU based on the results of
|
|
virDomainGetInfo and virDomainGetXMLDesc
|
|
domstart.py - create a domU from an XML description if the domU isn't
|
|
running yet
|
|
domsave.py - save all running domU's into a directory
|
|
domrestore.py - restore domU's from their saved files in a directory
|
|
esxlist.py - list active domains of an VMware ESX host and print some info.

|
The XML files in this directory are examples of the XML format that libvirt
|
|
expects, and will have to be adapted for your setup. They are only needed
|
|
for domstart.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some additional notes for the esxlist.py example:
|
|
|
|
You may see remote errors complaining about missing certificates:
|
|
|
|
Cannot access CA certificate '/usr/local/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file
|
|
or directory
|
|
|
|
This is expected, libvirt tries to find network and storage drivers for ESX,
|
|
but those are not implemented yet (November 2009). While searching for this
|
|
drivers, libvirt may try to start a local libvirtd instance, but fails because
|
|
of the missing certificates. It'll warn about that:
|
|
|
|
Failed to find the network: Is the daemon running?
|
|
|
|
This is also expected and can be ignored.
