Libvirt provides storage management on the physical host through storage pools and volumes. A storage pool is a quantity of storage set aside by an administrator, often a dedicated storage administrator, for use by virtual machines. Storage pools are divided into storage volumes either by the storage administrator or the system administrator, and the volumes are assigned to VMs as block devices. F

This page provides an introduction to libvirt's network filters, their goals, concepts and XML format. Goals and background¶ The goal of the network filtering XML is to enable administrators of a virtualized system to configure and enforce network traffic filtering rules on virtual machines and manage the parameters of network traffic that virtual machines are allowed to send or receive. The netwo

The libvirt VMware ESX driver can manage VMware ESX/ESXi 3.5/4.x/5.x and VMware GSX 2.0, also called VMware Server 2.0, and possibly later versions. Since 0.8.3 the driver can also connect to a VMware vCenter 2.5/4.x/5.x (VPX). Deployment pre-requisites¶ None. Any out-of-the-box installation of VPX/ESX(i)/GSX should work. No preparations are required on the server side, no libvirtd must be install

The libvirt LXC driver manages "Linux Containers". At their simplest, containers can just be thought of as a collection of processes, separated from the main host processes via a set of resource namespaces and constrained via control groups resource tunables. The libvirt LXC driver has no dependency on the LXC userspace tools hosted on sourceforge.net. It directly utilizes the relevant kernel feat

Libvirt allows you to access hypervisors running on remote machines through authenticated and encrypted connections. Basic usage¶ On the remote machine, libvirtd should be running in general. See libvirtd configuration file section on how to configure libvirtd. Not all hypervisors supported by libvirt require a running libvirtd. If you want to connect to a VMware ESX/ESXi or GSX server then libvir

When connecting to libvirt, some connections may require client authentication before allowing use of the APIs. The set of possible authentication mechanisms is administrator controlled, independent of applications using libvirt. Once authenticated, libvirt can apply fine grained access control to the operations performed by a client. Client configuration¶ When connecting to a remote hypervisor wh

This page provides an introduction to the network XML format. For background information on the concepts referred to here, consult the relevant wiki page. Element and attribute overview¶ The root element required for all virtual networks is named network and has no configurable attributes (although since 0.10.0 there is one optional read-only attribute - when examining the live configuration of a

The libvirt KVM/QEMU driver can manage any QEMU emulator from version 4.2.0 or later. It supports multiple QEMU accelerators: software emulation also known as TCG, hardware-assisted virtualization on Linux with KVM and hardware-assisted virtualization on macOS with Hypervisor.framework (since 8.1.0). Deployment pre-requisites¶ QEMU emulators: The driver will probe /usr/bin for the presence of qemu

What is ruby-libvirt? ruby-libvirt provides Ruby bindings for libvirt. With them you can use libvirt directly from your Ruby programs: require 'libvirt' conn = Libvirt::open("qemu:///system") puts conn.capabilities conn.create_domain_xml(File.read("domain.xml")) dom = conn.lookup_domain_by_name("mydomain") dom.suspend dom.resume puts dom.xml_desc To get a better idea of what's possible to achieve

This section describes the XML format used to represent domains, there are variations on the format based on the kind of domains run and the options used to launch them. For hypervisor specific details consult the driver docs Element and attribute overview¶ The root element required for all virtual machines is named domain. It has two attributes, the type specifies the hypervisor used for running

Libvirt is known to work as a client (not server) on Windows XP (32-bit), and Windows 7 (64-bit). Other Windows variants likely work as well but we either haven't tested or received reports for them. Installation packages¶ Users who need pre-built Windows DLLs of libvirt are advised to use the Virt Viewer pre-compiled Windows MSI packages These installers include the libvirt, gtk-vnc and spice-gtk
