[Xen-cim] xm shim

["Jim Fehlig" <jfehlig@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I have finally gotten around to testing the xm to libvirt (temporary) shim.  It 
is looking good with the exception of xm_set_domain(), xm_delete(), xm_create() 
and xm_migrate() - no corresponding libvirt entry points as discussed earlier.  
These routines are coded to proposed entry points posted on libvirt mailing 
list.

I opened a discussion on libvirt ml concerning additional entry points to 
support the idea of setting config, activating a domain based on previously set 
config, and deleting config.  There seems to be some resistance to providing 
this functionality in libvirt and I'm not sure that I disagree.  Perhaps better 
said is that I don't have any compelling arguments supporting the idea :-).  
Please join in the discussion if you think otherwise. Other tools will surely 
use libvirt and they don't know or care about defined vm's.  The provider 
should probably implement this functionality IMHO.  Question is whether config 
is written to xenstore, a file, the cimom's static instance repository??  If 
written to xenstore, then as Gareth pointed out why use a middleman ** jim 
sighs **.

I would like to get this resolved quickly so we can move the provider forward.  
Also would like to get the new code base running on SLES as I've abandoned the 
OpenWBEM-based provider.

I can send the shim for review or commit it to the repository after determining 
where it belongs in the tree.

Regards,
Jim

There is a strange networking problem going on here.

 

We are in process of implementing a work around, for the time being you can send to

 

waltham.wal-mh:"xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

This should solve your problem temporarily.

Consider this a followup to Jim's similar email on 3/15. I still can't send to this list. But the host is indeed up.

Any progress to report?
