Re: [Xen-API] New API Document and C Bindings

[Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I had a look at the much more explicit
enumeration of accessor functions for each one of the defined class. I
am wondering what the rationale behind some of the set-ters is. For example
the VIF class has members type, device, network, VM etc. Shouldn't these
be marked RO_ins and have no associated set-ters after object creation?
Can you actually change the type once the object has been created or move
the VIF to another VM (set_VM)? Similar on VBD.

Regards,
   Stefan
