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.

I previously mentioned [1] a PolicyKit issue where libvirt would proceed with authentication even though polkit-auth failed: testusr xen134:~> virsh list --all Attempting to obtain authorization for org.libvirt.unix.manage. polkit-grant-helper: given auth type (8 -> yes) is bogus Failed to obtain authorization for org.libvirt.unix.manage. Id Name State ---------------------------------- 0 Domain-0 running - sles11sp1-pv shut off AFAICT, libvirt attempts to obtain a privilege it already has, causing polkit-auth to fail with above message. Instead of calling obtain and then checking auth, IMO the workflow should be for the server to check auth first, and if that fails ask the client to obtain it and check again. This workflow also allows for checking only successful exit of polkit-auth in virConnectAuthGainPolkit(). [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-December/msg00837.html |

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.
