Description

Macros

VIR_COPY_CPUMAP

#define VIR_COPY_CPUMAP

This macro is to be used in conjunction with virDomainGetVcpus() and virDomainPinVcpu() APIs. VIR_COPY_CPUMAP macro extracts the cpumap of the specified vcpu from cpumaps array and copies it into cpumap to be used later by virDomainPinVcpu() API.

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_BANDWIDTH

Macro for the virDomainBlockCopy bandwidth tunable: it represents the maximum bandwidth in bytes/s, and is used while getting the copy operation into the mirrored phase, with a type of ullong. For compatibility with virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed(), values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec (a 32-bit MiB/s value) may be rejected on input due to overflow considerations (but do you really have an interface with that much bandwidth?), and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if queried in bytes/sec. Hypervisors may further restrict the set of valid values. Specifying 0 is the same as omitting this parameter, to request no bandwidth limiting. Some hypervisors may lack support for this parameter, while still allowing a subsequent change of bandwidth via virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed(). The actual speed can be determined with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo().

VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_POLL_GROW

#define VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_POLL_GROW

This provides a value for the dynamic polling adjustment algorithm to use to grow its polling interval up to the poll_max_ns value. A value of 0 (zero) allows the hypervisor to choose its own value.

Accepted type is VIR_TYPED_PARAM_UINT or since 9.3.0 VIR_TYPED_PARAM_ULLONG.

VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_THREAD_POOL_MAX

#define VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_THREAD_POOL_MAX

Sets the upper bound for thread pool size. A value of -1 disables this bound leaving hypervisor use its default value, though this value is not accepted for running domains. Since the upper band has to be equal to or greater than lower bound value of 0 is not accepted. Accepted type is VIR_TYPED_PARAM_INT.

VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_THREAD_POOL_MIN

#define VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_THREAD_POOL_MIN

virDomainMigrateFlags

Domain migration flags.

enum virDomainMigrateFlags {
VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE = 1 (0x1; 1 << 0)
Do not pause the domain during migration. The domain's memory will be transferred to the destination host while the domain is running. The migration may never converge if the domain is changing its memory faster then it can be transferred. The domain can be manually paused anytime during migration using virDomainSuspend.
VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER = 2 (0x2; 1 << 1)
Tell the source libvirtd to connect directly to the destination host. Without this flag the client (e.g., virsh) connects to both hosts and controls the migration process. In peer-to-peer mode, the source libvirtd controls the migration by calling the destination daemon directly.
VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED = 4 (0x4; 1 << 2)
Tunnel migration data over libvirtd connection. Without this flag the source hypervisor sends migration data directly to the destination hypervisor. This flag can only be used when VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER is set as well. Note the less-common spelling that we're stuck with: VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED should be VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELED.
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST = 8 (0x8; 1 << 3)
Define the domain as persistent on the destination host after successful migration. If the domain was persistent on the source host and VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE is not used, it will end up persistent on both hosts.
VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE = 16 (0x10; 1 << 4)
Undefine the domain on the source host once migration successfully finishes.
VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED = 32 (0x20; 1 << 5)
Leave the domain suspended on the destination host. virDomainResume (on the virDomainPtr returned by the migration API) has to be called explicitly to resume domain's virtual CPUs.
VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK = 64 (0x40; 1 << 6)
Migrate full disk images in addition to domain's memory. By default only non-shared non-readonly disk images are transferred. The VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_MIGRATE_DISKS parameter can be used to specify which disks should be migrated. This flag and VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC are mutually exclusive.
VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC = 128 (0x80; 1 << 7)
Migrate disk images in addition to domain's memory. This is similar to VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK, but only the top level of each disk's backing chain is copied. That is, the rest of the backing chain is expected to be present on the destination and to be exactly the same as on the source host. This flag and VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK are mutually exclusive.
VIR_MIGRATE_CHANGE_PROTECTION = 256 (0x100; 1 << 8)
Protect against domain configuration changes during the migration process. This flag is used automatically when both sides support it. Explicitly setting this flag will cause migration to fail if either the source or the destination does not support it.
VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE = 512 (0x200; 1 << 9)
Force migration even if it is considered unsafe. In some cases libvirt may refuse to migrate the domain because doing so may lead to potential problems such as data corruption, and thus the migration is considered unsafe. For a QEMU domain this may happen if the domain uses disks without explicitly setting cache mode to "none". Migrating such domains is unsafe unless the disk images are stored on coherent clustered filesystem, such as GFS2 or GPFS.
VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE = 1024 (0x400; 1 << 10)
Migrate a domain definition without starting the domain on the destination and without stopping it on the source host. Offline migration requires VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST to be set. Offline migration may not copy disk storage or any other file based storage (such as UEFI variables).
VIR_MIGRATE_COMPRESSED = 2048 (0x800; 1 << 11)
Compress migration data. The compression methods can be specified using VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_COMPRESSION. A hypervisor default method will be used if this parameter is omitted. Individual compression methods can be tuned via their specific VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_COMPRESSION_* parameters.
VIR_MIGRATE_ABORT_ON_ERROR = 4096 (0x1000; 1 << 12)
Cancel migration if a soft error (such as I/O error) happens during migration.
VIR_MIGRATE_AUTO_CONVERGE = 8192 (0x2000; 1 << 13)
Enable algorithms that ensure a live migration will eventually converge. This usually means the domain will be slowed down to make sure it does not change its memory faster than a hypervisor can transfer the changed memory to the destination host. VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_AUTO_CONVERGE_* parameters can be used to tune the algorithm.
VIR_MIGRATE_RDMA_PIN_ALL = 16384 (0x4000; 1 << 14)
This flag can be used with RDMA migration (i.e., when VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_URI starts with "rdma://") to tell the hypervisor to pin all domain's memory at once before migration starts rather then letting it pin memory pages as needed. This means that all memory pages belonging to the domain will be locked in host's memory and the host will not be allowed to swap them out. For QEMU/KVM this requires hard_limit memory tuning element (in the domain XML) to be used and set to the maximum memory configured for the domain plus any memory consumed by the QEMU process itself. Beware of setting the memory limit too high (and thus allowing the domain to lock most of the host's memory). Doing so may be dangerous to both the domain and the host itself since the host's kernel may run out of memory.
VIR_MIGRATE_POSTCOPY = 32768 (0x8000; 1 << 15)
Setting the VIR_MIGRATE_POSTCOPY flag tells libvirt to enable post-copy migration. However, the migration will start normally and virDomainMigrateStartPostCopy needs to be called to switch it into the post-copy mode. See virDomainMigrateStartPostCopy for more details.
VIR_MIGRATE_TLS = 65536 (0x10000; 1 << 16)
Setting the VIR_MIGRATE_TLS flag will cause the migration to attempt to use the TLS environment configured by the hypervisor in order to perform the migration. If incorrectly configured on either source or destination, the migration will fail.
VIR_MIGRATE_PARALLEL = 131072 (0x20000; 1 << 17)
Send memory pages to the destination host through several network connections. See VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_PARALLEL_* parameters for configuring the parallel migration.
VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES = 262144 (0x40000; 1 << 18)
Force the guest writes which happen when copying disk images for non-shared storage migration to be synchronously written to the destination. This ensures the storage migration converges for VMs doing heavy I/O on fast local storage and slow mirror. Requires one of VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK, VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC to be present as well.
VIR_MIGRATE_POSTCOPY_RESUME = 524288 (0x80000; 1 << 19)
Resume migration which failed in post-copy phase.
VIR_MIGRATE_ZEROCOPY = 1048576 (0x100000; 1 << 20)
Use zero-copy mechanism for migrating memory pages. For QEMU/KVM this means QEMU will be temporarily allowed to lock all guest pages in host's memory, although only those that are queued for transfer will be locked at the same time.

virDomainMigrateMaxSpeedFlags

Domain migration speed flags.

enum virDomainMigrateMaxSpeedFlags {
VIR_DOMAIN_MIGRATE_MAX_SPEED_POSTCOPY = 1 (0x1; 1 << 0)

virDomainModificationImpact

Several modification APIs take flags to determine whether a change to the domain affects just the running instance, just the persistent definition, or both at the same time. The counterpart query APIs also take the same flags to determine whether to query the running instance or persistent definition, although both cannot be queried at once. The use of VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT will resolve to either VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG according to current domain state. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE requires a running domain, and VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG requires a persistent domain (whether or not it is running). These enums should not conflict with those of virTypedParameterFlags.

enum virDomainModificationImpact {
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT = 0 (0x0)
Affect current domain state.
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE = 1 (0x1; 1 << 0)

virConnectDomainEventBlockJobCallback

typedef void	(*virConnectDomainEventBlockJobCallback)	(virConnectPtr conn,
						 virDomainPtr dom,
						 const char * disk,
						 int type,
						 int status,
						 void * opaque)

The string returned for disk can be used in any of the libvirt API that operate on a particular disk of the domain, and depends on what event type was registered with virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny(). If the callback was registered using the older type of VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BLOCK_JOB, then disk contains the absolute file name of the host resource for the active layer of the disk; however, this name is unstable (pivoting via block copy or active block commit will change which file is active, giving a different name for the two events associated with the same job) and cannot be relied on if the active layer is associated with a network resource. If the callback was registered using the newer type of VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BLOCK_JOB_2, then disk will contain the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda").

conn
connection object
dom
domain on which the event occurred
disk

virConnectDomainEventRegister

int	virConnectDomainEventRegister	(virConnectPtr conn,
					 virConnectDomainEventCallback cb,
					 void * opaque,
					 virFreeCallback freecb)

Adds a callback to receive notifications of domain lifecycle events occurring on a connection. This function requires that an event loop has been previously registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl().

Use of this method is no longer recommended. Instead applications should try virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny() which has a more flexible API contract.

The virDomainPtr object handle passed into the callback upon delivery of an event is only valid for the duration of execution of the callback. If the callback wishes to keep the domain object after the callback returns, it shall take a reference to it, by calling virDomainRef. The reference can be released once the object is no longer required by calling virDomainFree.

virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny

int	virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny	(virConnectPtr conn,
						 virDomainPtr dom,
						 int eventID,
						 virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback cb,
						 void * opaque,
						 virFreeCallback freecb)

Adds a callback to receive notifications of arbitrary domain events occurring on a domain. This function requires that an event loop has been previously registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl().

If dom is NULL, then events will be monitored for any domain. If dom is non-NULL, then only the specific domain will be monitored.

Most types of event have a callback providing a custom set of parameters for the event. When registering an event, it is thus necessary to use the VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK() macro to cast the supplied function pointer to match the signature of this method.

The virDomainPtr object handle passed into the callback upon delivery of an event is only valid for the duration of execution of the callback. If the callback wishes to keep the domain object after the callback returns, it shall take a reference to it, by calling virDomainRef(). The reference can be released once the object is no longer required by calling virDomainFree().

The return value from this method is a non-negative integer identifier for the callback. To unregister a callback, this callback ID should be passed to the virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny() method.

virConnectDomainXMLToNative

char *	virConnectDomainXMLToNative	(virConnectPtr conn,
					 const char * nativeFormat,
					 const char * domainXml,
					 unsigned int flags)

Reads a domain XML configuration document, and generates a native configuration file describing the domain. The format of the native data is hypervisor dependent.

Note that certain hypervisor drivers such as the QEMU driver configure many aspects of the domain dynamically via hypervisor APIs and that may not be part of the returned native configuration format. Similarly certain resources are passed to the hypervisor via file descriptors, which are not part of the native configuration returned by this API. Such configuration is thus not trivially usable outside of libvirt.

  "vcpu.maximum" - maximum number of online virtual CPUs as unsigned int.
  "vcpu.<num>.state" - state of the virtual CPU <num>, as int
                       from virVcpuState enum.
  "vcpu.<num>.time" - virtual cpu time spent by virtual CPU <num>
                      as unsigned long long.
  "vcpu.<num>.wait" - time the vCPU <num> wants to run, but the host
                      scheduler has something else running ahead of it.
  "vcpu.<num>.halted" - virtual CPU <num> is halted, may indicate the
                        processor is idle or even disabled, depending
                        on the architecture)
  "vcpu.<num>.delay" - time the vCPU <num> thread was enqueued by the
                       host scheduler, but was waiting in the queue
                       instead of running. Exposed to the VM as a steal
                       time.

 This group of statistics also reports additional hypervisor-originating
 per-vCPU stats. The hypervisor-specific statistics in this group have the
 following naming scheme:

  "vcpu.<num>.$NAME.$TYPE"

    $NAME - name of the statistics field provided by the hypervisor

    $TYPE - Type of the value. The following types are returned:
       'cur' - current instant value
       'sum' - aggregate value
       'max' - peak value

   The returned value may be either an unsigned long long or a boolean.
   Meaning is hypervisor specific. Please see the disclaimer for the
   VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_VM group below.

VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_BLOCK: Return block devices statistics. By default, this information is limited to the active layer of each <disk> of the domain (where block.count is equal to the number of disks), but adding VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_BACKING to flags will expand the array to cover backing chains (block.count corresponds to the number of host resources used together to provide the guest disks).

VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_IOTHREAD: Return IOThread statistics if available. IOThread polling is a timing mechanism that allows the hypervisor to generate a longer period of time in which the guest will perform operations on the CPU being used by the IOThread. The higher the value for poll-max-ns the longer the guest will keep the CPU. This may affect other host threads using the CPU. The poll-grow and poll-shrink values allow the hypervisor to generate a mechanism to add or remove polling time within the confines of 0 and poll-max-ns. For QEMU, the poll-grow is multiplied by the polling interval, while poll-shrink is used as a divisor. When not provided, QEMU may double the polling time until poll-max-ns is reached. When poll-shrink is 0 (zero) QEMU may reset the polling interval to 0 until it finds its "sweet spot". Setting poll-grow too large may cause frequent fluctuation of the time; however, this can be tempered by a high poll-shrink to reduce the polling interval. For example, a poll-grow of 3 will triple the polling time which could quickly exceed poll-max-ns; however, a poll-shrink of 10 would cut that polling time more gradually.

  The typed parameter keys are in this format:

  "iothread.count" - maximum number of IOThreads in the subsequent list
                     as unsigned int. Each IOThread in the list will
                     will use it's iothread_id value as the <id>. There
                     may be fewer <id> entries than the iothread.count
                     value if the polling values are not supported.
  "iothread.<id>.poll-max-ns" - maximum polling time in ns as an unsigned
                                long long. A 0 (zero) means polling is
                                disabled.
  "iothread.<id>.poll-grow" - polling time factor as an unsigned int or
                              unsigned long long if exceeding range of
                              unsigned int.
                              A 0 (zero) indicates to allow the underlying
                              hypervisor to choose how to grow the
                              polling time.
  "iothread.<id>.poll-shrink" - polling time divisor as an unsigned int or
                                unsigned long long if exceeding range of
                                unsigned int.
                                A 0 (zero) indicates to allow the underlying
                                hypervisor to choose how to shrink the
                                polling time.

                                              controller id for controller
                                              <index> of monitor <num>
  "memory.bandwidth.monitor.<num>.node.<index>.bytes.local" - the
                    accumulative bytes consumed by @vcpus that passing
                    through the memory controller in the same processor
                    that the scheduled host CPU belongs to.
  "memory.bandwidth.monitor.<num>.node.<index>.bytes.total" - the total
                    bytes consumed by @vcpus that passing through all
                    memory controllers, either local or remote controller.

VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_DIRTYRATE: Return memory dirty rate information. The typed parameter keys are in this format:

  "dirtyrate.calc_status" - the status of last memory dirty rate calculation,
                            returned as int from virDomainDirtyRateStatus
                            enum.

                                     MiB/s as long long. It is produced
                                     only if the calc_status is measured.
  "dirtyrate.calc_mode" - the calculation mode used last measurement, either
                          of these 3 'page-sampling,dirty-bitmap,dirty-ring'

                                                unsigned long long.

VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_VM: Return hypervisor-specific statistics. Note that the naming and meaning of the fields is entirely hypervisor dependent.

  The statistics in this group have the following naming scheme:

  "vm.$NAME.$TYPE"

    $NAME - name of the statistics field provided by the hypervisor

    $TYPE - Type of the value. The following types are returned:
       'cur' - current instant value
       'sum' - aggregate value
       'max' - peak value

   The returned value may be either an unsigned long long or a boolean.

  WARNING:
   The stats reported in this group are runtime-collected and
   hypervisor originated, thus fall outside of the usual stable API
   policies of libvirt.

   Libvirt can't guarantee that the statistics reported from the outside
   source will be present in further versions of the hypervisor, or that
   naming or meaning will stay consistent. Changes to existing fields,
   however, are expected to be rare.

Note that entire stats groups or individual stat fields may be missing from the output in case they are not supported by the given hypervisor, are not applicable for the current state of the guest domain, or their retrieval was not successful.

Using 0 for stats returns all stats groups supported by the given hypervisor.

Specifying VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS as flags makes the function return error in case some of the stat types in stats were not recognized by the daemon. However, even with this flag, a hypervisor may omit individual fields within a known group if the information is not available; as an extreme example, a supported group may produce zero fields for offline domains if the statistics are meaningful only for a running domain.

Passing VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_NOWAIT in flags means when libvirt is unable to fetch stats for any of the domains (for whatever reason) only a subset of statistics is returned for the domain. That subset being statistics that don't involve querying the underlying hypervisor.

Similarly to virConnectListAllDomains, flags can contain various flags to filter the list of domains to provide stats for.

VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ACTIVE selects online domains while VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_INACTIVE selects offline ones.

VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_PERSISTENT and VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_TRANSIENT allow to filter the list according to their persistence.

To filter the list of VMs by domain state flags can contain VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_RUNNING, VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_PAUSED, VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_SHUTOFF and/or VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_OTHER for all other states.

virConnectListAllDomains

int	virConnectListAllDomains	(virConnectPtr conn,
					 virDomainPtr ** domains,
					 unsigned int flags)

Collect a possibly-filtered list of all domains, and return an allocated array of information for each. This API solves the race inherent in virConnectListDomains() and virConnectListDefinedDomains().

Normally, all domains are returned; however, flags can be used to filter the results for a smaller list of targeted domains. The valid flags are divided into groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a domain, and where all bits within a group describe all possible domains. Some hypervisors might reject explicit bits from a group where the hypervisor cannot make a distinction (for example, not all hypervisors can tell whether domains have snapshots). For a group supported by a given hypervisor, the behavior when no bits of a group are set is identical to the behavior when all bits in that group are set. When setting bits from more than one group, it is possible to select an impossible combination (such as an inactive transient domain), in that case a hypervisor may return either 0 or an error.

The first group of flags is VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE (online domains) and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_INACTIVE (offline domains).

The next group of flags is VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_PERSISTENT (defined domains) and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_TRANSIENT (running but not defined).

The next group of flags covers various domain states: VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_RUNNING, VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_PAUSED, VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_SHUTOFF, and a catch-all for all other states (such as crashed, this catch-all covers the possibility of adding new states).

The remaining groups cover boolean attributes commonly asked about domains; they include VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_MANAGEDSAVE and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_MANAGEDSAVE, for filtering based on whether a managed save image exists; VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_AUTOSTART and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_AUTOSTART, for filtering based on autostart; VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_HAS_SNAPSHOT and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_SNAPSHOT, for filtering based on whether a domain has snapshots; VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_HAS_CHECKPOINT and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_CHECKPOINT, for filtering based on whether a domain has checkpoints.

Example of usage:

virDomainPtr *domains;
size_t i;
int ret;
unsigned int flags = VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_RUNNING |
                     VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_PERSISTENT;
ret = virConnectListAllDomains(conn, &domains, flags);
if (ret < 0)
    error();
for (i = 0; i < ret; i++) {
     do_something_with_domain(domains[i]);
     //here or in a separate loop if needed
     virDomainFree(domains[i]);
}
free(domains);
conn
Pointer to the hypervisor connection.
domains
Pointer to a variable to store the array containing domain objects or NULL if the list is not required (just returns number of guests).
flags
bitwise-OR of virConnectListAllDomainsFlags
Returns
the number of domains found or -1 and sets domains to NULL in case of error. On success, the array stored into domains is guaranteed to have an extra allocated element set to NULL but not included in the return count, to make iteration easier. The caller is responsible for calling virDomainFree() on each array element, then calling free() on domains.

virDomainAddIOThread

int	virDomainAddIOThread		(virDomainPtr domain,

Dynamically add an IOThread to the domain. It is left up to the underlying virtual hypervisor to determine the valid range for an iothread_id and determining whether the iothread_id already exists.

Note that this call can fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it or if growing the number is arbitrarily limited. This function requires privileged access to the hypervisor.

flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG. Both flags may be set. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE is set, the change affects a running domain and may fail if domain is not alive. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG is set, the change affects persistent state, and will fail for transient domains. If neither flag is specified (that is, flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed.

Attach a virtual device to a domain, using the flags parameter to control how the device is attached. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT specifies that the device allocation is made based on current domain state. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE specifies that the device shall be allocated to the active domain instance only and is not added to the persisted domain configuration. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG specifies that the device shall be allocated to the persisted domain configuration only. Note that the target hypervisor must return an error if unable to satisfy flags.

For given user in domain fetch list of public SSH authorized keys and store them into keys array which is allocated upon successful return and is NULL terminated. The caller is responsible for freeing keys when no longer needed.

Keys are in OpenSSH format (see sshd(8)) but from libvirt's point of view are opaque strings, i.e. not interpreted.

For given user in domain set keys in authorized keys file. Any previous content of the file is overwritten with new keys. That is, if this API is called with nkeys = 0, keys = NULL and flags = 0 then the authorized keys file for user is cleared out.

Keys are in OpenSSH format (see sshd(8)) but from libvirt's point of view are opaque strings, i.e. not interpreted.

If VIR_DOMAIN_AUTHORIZED_SSH_KEYS_SET_APPEND flag is set then the file is not overwritten and new keys are appended instead.

If VIR_DOMAIN_AUTHORIZED_SSH_KEYS_SET_REMOVE flag is set then instead of adding any new keys, provided keys are removed from the file. It's not considered error if the key doesn't exist.

Please note that some hypervisors may require guest agent to be configured and running in order to be able to run this API.

virDomainBackupBegin

int	virDomainBackupBegin		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 const char * backupXML,
					 const char * checkpointXML,
					 unsigned int flags)

Start a point-in-time backup job for the specified disks of a running domain.

A backup job is a domain job and thus mutually exclusive with any other domain job such as migration.

For now, backup jobs are also mutually exclusive with any other block job on the same device, although this restriction may be lifted in a future release. Progress of the backup job can be tracked via virDomainGetJobStats(). Completion of the job is also announced asynchronously via VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_JOB_COMPLETED event.

There are two fundamental backup approaches. The first, called a push model, instructs the hypervisor to copy the state of the guest disk to the designated storage destination (which may be on the local file system or a network device). In this mode, the hypervisor writes the content of the guest disk to the destination, then emits VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_JOB_COMPLETED when the backup is either complete or failed (the backup image is invalid if the job fails or virDomainAbortJob() is used prior to the event being emitted). This kind of the job finishes automatically. Users can determine success by using virDomainGetJobStats() with VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_STATS_COMPLETED flag.

The second, called a pull model, instructs the hypervisor to expose the state of the guest disk over an NBD export. A third-party client can then connect to this export and read whichever portions of the disk it desires. In this mode libvirt has to be informed via virDomainAbortJob() when the third-party NBD client is done and the backup resources can be released.

The backupXML parameter contains details about the backup in the top-level element <domainbackup>, including which backup mode to use, whether the backup is incremental from a previous checkpoint, which disks participate in the backup, the destination for a push model backup, and the temporary storage and NBD server details for a pull model backup.

virDomainBackupGetXMLDesc() can be called to learn actual values selected. For more information, see https://libvirt.org/formatbackup.html#backup-xml

The checkpointXML parameter is optional; if non-NULL, then libvirt behaves as if virDomainCheckpointCreateXML() were called to create a checkpoint atomically covering the same point in time as the backup.

The VIR_DOMAIN_BACKUP_BEGIN_REUSE_EXTERNAL specifies that the output or temporary files described by the backupXML document were created by the caller with correct format and size to hold the backup or temporary data.

The creation of a new checkpoint allows for future incremental backups. Note that some hypervisors may require a particular disk format, such as qcow2, in order to take advantage of checkpoints, while allowing arbitrary formats if checkpoints are not involved.

virDomainBackupGetXMLDesc

virDomainBlockCommit

int	virDomainBlockCommit		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 const char * base,
					 const char * top,
					 unsigned long bandwidth,
					 unsigned int flags)

Commit changes that were made to temporary top-level files within a disk image backing file chain into a lower-level base file. In other words, take all the difference between base and top, and update base to contain that difference; after the commit, any portion of the chain that previously depended on top will now depend on base, and all files after base up to and including top will now be invalidated. A typical use of this command is to reduce the length of a backing file chain after taking an external disk snapshot. To move data in the opposite direction, see virDomainBlockPull().

This command starts a long-running commit block job, whose status may be tracked by virDomainBlockJobInfo() with a job type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_COMMIT, and the operation can be aborted with virDomainBlockJobAbort(). When finished, an asynchronous event is raised to indicate the final status, and the job no longer exists. If the job is aborted, it is up to the hypervisor whether starting a new job will resume from the same point, or start over.

As a special case, if top is the active image (or NULL), and flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_ACTIVE, the block job will have a type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_ACTIVE_COMMIT, and operates in two phases. In the first phase, the contents are being committed into base, and the job can only be canceled. The job transitions to the second phase when the block job event with state VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_READY is emitted for the given device. This information is also visible in the live XML as 'ready="yes"' attribute of the corresponding <mirror> element. Once in the second phase, the user must choose whether to cancel the job (keeping top as the active image, but now containing only the changes since the time the job ended) or to pivot the job (adjusting to base as the active image, and invalidating top).

Be aware that this command may invalidate files even if it is aborted; the user is cautioned against relying on the contents of invalidated intermediate files such as top (when top is not the active image) without manually rebasing those files to use a backing file of a read-only copy of base prior to the point where the commit operation was started (and such a rebase cannot be safely done until the commit has successfully completed). However, the domain itself will not have any issues; the active layer remains valid throughout the entire commit operation.

Some hypervisors may support a shortcut where if flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_DELETE, then this command will unlink all files that were invalidated, after the commit successfully completes.

If flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_RELATIVE, the name recorded into the overlay of the top image (if there is such image) as the path to the new backing file will be kept relative to other images. The operation will fail if libvirt can't infer the name.

By default, if base is NULL, the commit target will be the bottom of the backing chain; if flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_SHALLOW, then the immediate backing file of top will be used instead. If top is NULL, the active image at the top of the chain will be used. Some hypervisors place restrictions on how much can be committed, and might fail if base is not the immediate backing file of top, or if top is the active layer in use by a running domain but flags did not include VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_ACTIVE, or if top is not the top-most file; restrictions may differ for online vs. offline domains.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

The base and top parameters can be either paths to files within the backing chain, or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda") followed by an index to the backing chain enclosed in square brackets. Backing chain indexes can be found by inspecting //disk//backingStore///disk//backingStore/index in the domain XML. Thus, for example, "vda[3]" refers to the backing store with index equal to "3" in the chain of disk "vda".

The maximum bandwidth that will be used to do the commit can be specified with the bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, there is no limit. If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, bandwidth is in bytes/second; otherwise, it is in MiB/second. Values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec may be rejected due to overflow considerations based on the word size of both client and server, and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if later queried by virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() without scaling. Hypervisors may further restrict the range of valid bandwidth values. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if bandwidth is not 0; in this case, it might still be possible for a later call to virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed() to succeed. The actual speed can be determined with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo().

virDomainBlockCopy

int	virDomainBlockCopy		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 const char * destxml,
					 virTypedParameterPtr params,
					 int nparams,
					 unsigned int flags)

Copy the guest-visible contents of a disk image to a new file described by destxml. The destination XML has a top-level element of <disk>, and resembles what is used when hot-plugging a disk via virDomainAttachDevice(), except that only sub-elements related to describing the new host resource are necessary (sub-elements related to the guest view, such as <target>, are ignored). It is strongly recommended to include a <driver type='...'/> format designation for the destination, to avoid the potential of any security problem that might be caused by probing a file for its format.

This command starts a long-running copy. By default, the copy will pull the entire source chain into the destination file, but if flags also contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_SHALLOW, then only the top of the source chain will be copied (the source and destination have a common backing file). The format of the destination file is controlled by the <driver> sub-element of the XML. The destination will be created unless the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_REUSE_EXT flag is present stating that the file was pre-created with the correct format and metadata and sufficient size to hold the copy. In case the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_SHALLOW flag is used the pre-created file has to exhibit the same guest visible contents as the backing file of the original image. This allows a management app to pre-create files with relative backing file names, rather than the default of absolute backing file names.

A copy job has two parts; in the first phase, the source is copied into the destination, and the job can only be canceled by reverting to the source file; progress in this phase can be tracked via the virDomainBlockJobInfo() command, with a job type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_COPY. The job transitions to the second phase when the block job event with state VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_READY is emitted for the given device. This information is also visible in the live XML as 'ready="yes"' attribute of the corresponding <mirror> element. All further changes are saved to both source and destination. The user must call virDomainBlockJobAbort() to end the mirroring while choosing whether to revert to source or pivot to the destination. An event is issued when the job ends, and depending on the hypervisor, an event may also be issued when the job transitions from pulling to mirroring. If the job is aborted, a new job will have to start over from the beginning of the first phase.

Some hypervisors will restrict certain actions, such as virDomainSave() or virDomainDetachDevice(), while a copy job is active; they may also restrict a copy job to transient domains.

If flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_TRANSIENT_JOB the job will not be recoverable if the VM is turned off while job is active. This flag will remove the restriction of copy jobs to transient domains. Note that this flag is automatically implied if the VM is transient at the time it's started.

If flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES the job will wait for guest writes to be propagated both to the original image and to the destination of the copy so that it's guaranteed that the job converges if the destination storage is slower. This may impact performance of writes while the blockjob is running.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

The params and nparams arguments can be used to set hypervisor-specific tuning parameters, such as maximum bandwidth or granularity. For a parameter that the hypervisor understands, explicitly specifying 0 behaves the same as omitting the parameter, to use the hypervisor default; however, omitting a parameter is less likely to fail.

This command is a superset of the older virDomainBlockRebase() when used with the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY flag, and offers better control over the destination format, the ability to copy to a destination that is not a local file, and the possibility of additional tuning parameters.

virDomainBlockJobAbort

int	virDomainBlockJobAbort		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 unsigned int flags)

Cancel the active block job on the given disk.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

If the current block job for disk is VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_PULL, then by default, this function performs a synchronous operation and the caller may assume that the operation has completed when 0 is returned. However, BlockJob operations may take a long time to cancel, and during this time further domain interactions may be unresponsive. To avoid this problem, pass VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_ASYNC in the flags argument to enable asynchronous behavior, returning as soon as possible. When the job has been canceled, a BlockJob event will be emitted, with status VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED (even if the ABORT_ASYNC flag was not used); it is also possible to poll virDomainBlockJobInfo() to see if the job cancellation is still pending. This type of job can be restarted to pick up from where it left off.

If the current block job for disk is VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_COPY, then the default is to abort the mirroring and revert to the source disk; likewise, if the current job is VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_ACTIVE_COMMIT, the default is to abort without changing the active layer of disk. Adding flags of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_PIVOT causes this call to fail with VIR_ERR_BLOCK_COPY_ACTIVE if the copy or commit is not yet ready; otherwise it will swap the disk over to the new active image to end the mirroring or active commit. An event will be issued when the job is ended, and it is possible to use VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_ASYNC to control whether this command waits for the completion of the job. Restarting a copy or active commit job requires starting over from the beginning of the first phase.

virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed

int	virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed	(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 unsigned long bandwidth,

Set the maximum allowable bandwidth that a block job may consume. If bandwidth is 0, the limit will revert to the hypervisor default of unlimited.

If flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_SPEED_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, bandwidth is in bytes/second; otherwise, it is in MiB/second. Values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec may be rejected due to overflow considerations based on the word size of both client and server, and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if later queried by virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() without scaling. Hypervisors may further restrict the range of valid bandwidth values.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda").

virDomainBlockPeek

int	virDomainBlockPeek		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 unsigned long long offset,
					 size_t size,
					 void * buffer,
					 unsigned int flags)

This function allows you to read the contents of a domain's disk device.

Typical uses for this are to determine if the domain has written a Master Boot Record (indicating that the domain has completed installation), or to try to work out the state of the domain's filesystems.

(Note that in the local case you might try to open the block device or file directly, but that won't work in the remote case, nor if you don't have sufficient permission. Hence the need for this call).

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

'offset' and 'size' represent an area which must lie entirely within the device or file. 'size' may be 0 to test if the call would succeed.

'buffer' is the return buffer and must be at least 'size' bytes.

NB. The remote driver imposes a 64K byte limit on 'size'. For your program to be able to work reliably over a remote connection you should split large requests to <= 65536 bytes. However, with 0.9.13 this RPC limit has been raised to 1M byte. Starting with version 1.0.6 the RPC limit has been raised again. Now large requests up to 16M byte are supported.

virDomainBlockPull

int	virDomainBlockPull		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 unsigned long bandwidth,
					 unsigned int flags)

Populate a disk image with data from its backing image. Once all data from its backing image has been pulled, the disk no longer depends on a backing image. This function pulls data for the entire device in the background. Progress of the operation can be checked with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() and the operation can be aborted with virDomainBlockJobAbort(). When finished, an asynchronous event is raised to indicate the final status. To move data in the opposite direction, see virDomainBlockCommit().

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

The maximum bandwidth that will be used to do the copy can be specified with the bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, there is no limit. If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_PULL_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, bandwidth is in bytes/second; otherwise, it is in MiB/second. Values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec may be rejected due to overflow considerations based on the word size of both client and server, and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if later queried by virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() without scaling. Hypervisors may further restrict the range of valid bandwidth values. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if bandwidth is not 0; in this case, it might still be possible for a later call to virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed() to succeed.

virDomainBlockRebase

int	virDomainBlockRebase		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 const char * base,
					 unsigned long bandwidth,
					 unsigned int flags)

Populate a disk image with data from its backing image chain, and setting the backing image to base, or alternatively copy an entire backing chain to a new file base.

When flags is 0, this starts a pull, where base must be the absolute path of one of the backing images further up the chain, or NULL to convert the disk image so that it has no backing image. Once all data from its backing image chain has been pulled, the disk no longer depends on those intermediate backing images. This function pulls data for the entire device in the background. Progress of the operation can be checked with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() with a job type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_PULL, and the operation can be aborted with virDomainBlockJobAbort(). When finished, an asynchronous event is raised to indicate the final status, and the job no longer exists. If the job is aborted, a new one can be started later to resume from the same point.

If flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_RELATIVE, the name recorded into the active disk as the location for base will be kept relative. The operation will fail if libvirt can't infer the name.

When flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY, this starts a copy, where base must be the name of a new file to copy the chain to. By default, the copy will pull the entire source chain into the destination file, but if flags also contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW, then only the top of the source chain will be copied (the source and destination have a common backing file). By default, base will be created with the same file format as the source, but this can be altered by adding VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_RAW to force the copy to be raw (does not make sense with the shallow flag unless the source is also raw), or by using VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_REUSE_EXT to reuse an existing file which was pre-created with the correct format and metadata and sufficient size to hold the copy. In case the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW flag is used the pre-created file has to exhibit the same guest visible contents as the backing file of the original image. This allows a management app to pre-create files with relative backing file names, rather than the default of absolute backing file names; as a security precaution, you should generally only use reuse_ext with the shallow flag and a non-raw destination file. By default, the copy destination will be treated as type='file', but using VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_DEV treats the destination as type='block' (affecting how virDomainGetBlockInfo() will report allocation after pivoting).

A copy job has two parts; in the first phase, the bandwidth parameter affects how fast the source is pulled into the destination, and the job can only be canceled by reverting to the source file; progress in this phase can be tracked via the virDomainBlockJobInfo() command, with a job type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_COPY. The job transitions to the second phase when the job info states cur == end, and remains alive to mirror all further changes to both source and destination. The user must call virDomainBlockJobAbort() to end the mirroring while choosing whether to revert to source or pivot to the destination. An event is issued when the job ends, and depending on the hypervisor, an event may also be issued when the job transitions from pulling to mirroring. If the job is aborted, a new job will have to start over from the beginning of the first phase.

Some hypervisors will restrict certain actions, such as virDomainSave() or virDomainDetachDevice(), while a copy job is active; they may also restrict a copy job to transient domains.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

The base parameter can be either a path to a file within the backing chain, or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda") followed by an index to the backing chain enclosed in square brackets. Backing chain indexes can be found by inspecting //disk//backingStore///disk//backingStore/index in the domain XML. Thus, for example, "vda[3]" refers to the backing store with index equal to "3" in the chain of disk "vda".

The maximum bandwidth that will be used to do the copy can be specified with the bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, there is no limit. If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, bandwidth is in bytes/second; otherwise, it is in MiB/second. Values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec may be rejected due to overflow considerations based on the word size of both client and server, and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if later queried by virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() without scaling. Hypervisors may further restrict the range of valid bandwidth values. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if bandwidth is not 0; in this case, it might still be possible for a later call to virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed() to succeed. The actual speed can be determined with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo().

When base is NULL and flags is 0, this is identical to virDomainBlockPull(). When flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY, this command is shorthand for virDomainBlockCopy() where the destination XML encodes base as a <disk type='file'>, bandwidth is properly scaled and passed as a typed parameter, the shallow and reuse external flags are preserved, and remaining flags control whether the XML encodes a destination format of raw instead of leaving the destination identical to the source format or probed from the reused file.

virDomainBlockResize

int	virDomainBlockResize		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 unsigned long long size,
					 unsigned int flags)

Resize a block device of domain while the domain is running. If flags is 0, then size is in kibibytes (blocks of 1024 bytes); since 0.9.11, if flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_RESIZE_BYTES, size is in bytes instead. size is taken directly as the new size. Depending on the file format, the hypervisor may round up to the next alignment boundary.

If flag contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_RESIZE_CAPACITY (since 10.0.0) the hypervisor will resize the guest block device to fully fill the source. size must be either set to zero, or to the exact size of the block device source. This is possible only for image formats with no metadata ('raw') and for source devices with limited capacity such as block devices.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

Note that this call may fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it; this call requires privileged access to the hypervisor.

virDomainBlockStats

int	virDomainBlockStats		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 virDomainBlockStatsPtr stats,
					 size_t size)

This function returns block device (disk) stats for block devices attached to the domain.

The disk parameter is either the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"), or (since 0.9.8) an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. Some drivers might also accept the empty string for the disk parameter, and then yield summary stats for the entire domain.

Domains may have more than one block device. To get stats for each you should make multiple calls to this function.

Individual fields within the stats structure may be returned as -1, which indicates that the hypervisor does not support that particular statistic.

virDomainBlockStatsFlags

int	virDomainBlockStatsFlags	(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 virTypedParameterPtr params,
					 int * nparams,
					 unsigned int flags)

This function is to get block stats parameters for block devices attached to the domain.

The disk parameter is either the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"), or (since 0.9.8) an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. Some drivers might also accept the empty string for the disk parameter, and then yield summary stats for the entire domain.

Domains may have more than one block device. To get stats for each you should make multiple calls to this function.

On input, nparams gives the size of the params array; on output, nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value.

As a special case, calling with params as NULL and nparams as 0 on input will cause nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. (Note that block devices of different types might support different parameters, so it might be necessary to compute nparams for each block device). The caller should then allocate params array, i.e. (sizeof(sizeofvirTypedParameter * nparams) bytes and call the API again. See virDomainGetMemoryParameters() for more details.

virDomainCoreDump

int	virDomainCoreDump		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 const char * to,
					 unsigned int flags)

This method will dump the core of a domain on a given file for analysis. Note that for remote Xen Daemon the file path will be interpreted in the remote host. Hypervisors may require the user to manually ensure proper permissions on the file named by to.

If flags includes VIR_DUMP_CRASH, then leave the guest shut off with a crashed state after the dump completes. If flags includes VIR_DUMP_LIVE, then make the core dump while continuing to allow the guest to run; otherwise, the guest is suspended during the dump. VIR_DUMP_RESET flag forces reset of the guest after dump. The above three flags are mutually exclusive.

Additionally, if flags includes VIR_DUMP_BYPASS_CACHE, then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while creating the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing saves to NFS.

For more control over the output format, see virDomainCoreDumpWithFormat().

This method will dump the core of a domain on a given file for analysis. Note that for remote Xen Daemon the file path will be interpreted in the remote host. Hypervisors may require the user to manually ensure proper permissions on the file named by to.

dumpformat controls which format the dump will have; use of VIR_DOMAIN_CORE_DUMP_FORMAT_RAW mirrors what virDomainCoreDump() will perform. Not all hypervisors are able to support all formats.

virDomainCreateWithFiles

int	virDomainCreateWithFiles	(virDomainPtr domain,

					 int * files,
					 unsigned int flags)

Launch a defined domain. If the call succeeds the domain moves from the defined to the running domains pools.

files provides an array of file descriptors which will be made available to the 'init' process of the guest. The file handles exposed to the guest will be renumbered to start from 3 (ie immediately following stderr). This is only supported for guests which use container based virtualization technology.

If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED flag is set, or if the guest domain has a managed save image that requested paused state (see virDomainManagedSave()) the guest domain will be started, but its CPUs will remain paused. The CPUs can later be manually started using virDomainResume(). In all other cases, the guest domain will be running.

If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTODESTROY flag is set, the guest domain will be automatically destroyed when the virConnectPtr object is finally released. This will also happen if the client application crashes / loses its connection to the libvirtd daemon. Any domains marked for auto destroy will block attempts at migration, save-to-file, or snapshots.

If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_BYPASS_CACHE flag is set, and there is a managed save file for this domain (created by virDomainManagedSave()), then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while restoring the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing loads from NFS.

If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_FORCE_BOOT flag is set, then any managed save file for this domain is discarded, and the domain boots from scratch.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_START_RESET_NVRAM, then libvirt will discard any existing NVRAM file and re-initialize NVRAM from the pristine template.

virDomainDelIOThread

int	virDomainDelIOThread		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 unsigned int iothread_id,

Dynamically delete an IOThread from the domain. The iothread_id to be deleted must not have a resource associated with it and can be any of the currently valid IOThread ID's.

Note that this call can fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it or if reducing the number is arbitrarily limited. This function requires privileged access to the hypervisor.

flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG. Both flags may be set. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE is set, the change affects a running domain and may fail if domain is not alive. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG is set, the change affects persistent state, and will fail for transient domains. If neither flag is specified (that is, flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed.

virDomainDestroy

int	virDomainDestroy		(virDomainPtr domain)

Destroy the domain object. The running instance is shutdown if not down already and all resources used by it are given back to the hypervisor. This does not free the associated virDomainPtr object. This function may require privileged access.

virDomainDestroy first requests that a guest terminate (e.g. SIGTERM), then waits for it to comply. After a reasonable timeout, if the guest still exists, virDomainDestroy will forcefully terminate the guest (e.g. SIGKILL) if necessary (which may produce undesirable results, for example unflushed disk cache in the guest). To avoid this possibility, it's recommended to instead call virDomainDestroyFlags, sending the VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL flag.

If the domain is transient and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then that metadata will automatically be deleted when the domain quits.

Destroy the domain object. The running instance is shutdown if not down already and all resources used by it are given back to the hypervisor. This does not free the associated virDomainPtr object. This function may require privileged access.

Calling this function with no flags set (equal to zero) is equivalent to calling virDomainDestroy, and after a reasonable timeout will forcefully terminate the guest (e.g. SIGKILL) if necessary (which may produce undesirable results, for example unflushed disk cache in the guest). Including VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL in the flags will prevent the forceful termination of the guest, and virDomainDestroyFlags will instead return an error if the guest doesn't terminate by the end of the timeout; at that time, the management application can decide if calling again without VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL is appropriate.

If VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_REMOVE_LOGS flag is set then domain specific logs will be deleted as well if there are any. Note that not all deployments are be supported. For example in case of QEMU driver this flags is noop if virtlogd is not used for handling QEMU process output.

Another alternative which may produce cleaner results for the guest's disks is to use virDomainShutdown() instead, but that depends on guest support (some hypervisor/guest combinations may ignore the shutdown request).

virDomainDetachDeviceAlias

In contrast to virDomainDetachDeviceFlags() this API is asynchronous - it returns immediately after sending the detach request to the hypervisor. It's caller's responsibility to wait for VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVED event to signal actual device removal or for VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVAL_FAILED to signal rejected device removal.

virDomainDetachDeviceFlags

int	virDomainDetachDeviceFlags	(virDomainPtr domain,
					 const char * xml,
					 unsigned int flags)

Detach a virtual device from a domain, using the flags parameter to control how the device is detached. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT specifies that the device allocation is removed based on current domain state. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE specifies that the device shall be deallocated from the active domain instance only and is not from the persisted domain configuration. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG specifies that the device shall be deallocated from the persisted domain configuration only. Note that the target hypervisor must return an error if unable to satisfy flags. E.g. the hypervisor driver will return failure if LIVE is specified but it only supports removing the persisted device allocation.

Some hypervisors may prevent this operation if there is a current block job running operation on the device being detached; in that case, use virDomainBlockJobAbort() to stop the block job first.

Beware that depending on the hypervisor and device type, detaching a device from a running domain may be asynchronous. That is, calling virDomainDetachDeviceFlags may just request device removal while the device is actually removed later (in cooperation with a guest OS). Previously, this fact was ignored and the device could have been removed from domain configuration before it was actually removed by the hypervisor causing various failures on subsequent operations. To check whether the device was successfully removed, either recheck domain configuration using virDomainGetXMLDesc() or add a handler for the VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVED event. In case the device is already gone when virDomainDetachDeviceFlags returns, the event is delivered before this API call ends. To help existing clients work better in most cases, this API will try to transform an asynchronous device removal that finishes shortly after the request into a synchronous removal. In other words, this API may wait a bit for the removal to complete in case it was not synchronous.

Be aware that hotplug changes might not persist across a domain going into S4 state (also known as hibernation) unless you also modify the persistent domain definition.

The supplied XML description of the device should be as specific as its definition in the domain XML. The set of attributes used to match the device are internal to the drivers. Using a partial definition, or attempting to detach a device that is not present in the domain XML, but shares some specific attributes with one that is present, may lead to unexpected results.

virDomainFDAssociate

int	virDomainFDAssociate		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 const char * name,
					 unsigned int nfds,
					 int * fds,
					 unsigned int flags)

Associate the FDs in fd with domain under name. The FDs are associated as long as the connection used to associated exists and are disposed of afterwards. FD may still be kept open by the hypervisor for as long as it's needed.

Security labelling (e.g. via the selinux) may be applied on the passed FDs when required for usage by the VM. By default libvirt does not restore the seclabels on the FDs afterwards to avoid keeping it open unnecessarily.

Restoring of the security label can be requested by passing either VIR_DOMAIN_FD_ASSOCIATE_SECLABEL_RESTORE for a best-effort attempt to restore the security label after use. Requesting the restore of security label will require that the file descriptors are kept open for the whole time they are used by the hypervisor, or other additional overhead.

In certain cases usage of the fd group would imply read-only access. Passing VIR_DOMAIN_FD_ASSOCIATE_SECLABEL_WRITABLE in flags ensures that a writable security label is picked in case when the file represented by the fds may be used in write mode.

virDomainFSTrim

int	virDomainFSTrim			(virDomainPtr dom,

Calls FITRIM within the guest (hence guest agent may be required depending on hypervisor used). Either call it on each mounted filesystem (mountPoint is NULL) or just on specified mountPoint. minimum hints that free ranges smaller than this may be ignored (this is a hint and the guest may not respect it). By increasing this value, the fstrim operation will complete more quickly for filesystems with badly fragmented free space, although not all blocks will be discarded. If minimum is not zero, the command may fail.

virDomainGetBlkioParameters

int	virDomainGetBlkioParameters	(virDomainPtr domain,
					 virTypedParameterPtr params,
					 int * nparams,

Get all blkio parameters. On input, nparams gives the size of the params array; on output, nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value.

As a special case, calling with params as NULL and nparams as 0 on input will cause nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. The caller should then allocate params array, i.e. (sizeof(sizeofvirTypedParameter * nparams) bytes and call the API again.

See virDomainGetMemoryParameters() for an equivalent usage example.

This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This function expects the caller to allocate the params.

virDomainGetBlockInfo

int	virDomainGetBlockInfo		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 const char * disk,
					 virDomainBlockInfoPtr info,
					 unsigned int flags)

Extract information about a domain's block device.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

For QEMU domains, the allocation and physical virDomainBlockInfo values returned will generally be the same, except when using a non raw, block backing device, such as qcow2 for an active domain. When the persistent domain is not active, QEMU will return the default which is the same value for allocation and physical.

Active QEMU domains can return an allocation value which is more representative of the currently used blocks by the device compared to the physical size of the device. Applications can use/monitor the allocation value with the understanding that if the domain becomes inactive during an attempt to get the value, the default values will be returned. Thus, the application should check after the call for the domain being inactive if the values are the same. Optionally, the application could be watching for a shutdown event and then ignore any values received afterwards. This can be an issue when a domain is being migrated and the exact timing of the domain being made inactive and check of the allocation value results the default being returned. For a transient domain in the similar situation, this call will return -1 and an error message indicating the "domain is not running".

The following is some pseudo code illustrating the call sequence:

...
virDomainPtr dom;
virDomainBlockInfo info;
char *device;
...
// Either get a list of all domains or a specific domain
// via a virDomainLookupBy*() call.
//
// It's also required to fill in the device pointer, but that's
// specific to the implementation. For the purposes of this example
// a qcow2 backed device name string would need to be provided.
...
// If the following call is made on a persistent domain with a
// qcow2 block backed block device, then it's possible the returned
// allocation equals the physical value. In that case, the domain
// that may have been active prior to calling has become inactive,
// such as is the case during a domain migration. Thus once we
// get data returned, check for active domain when the values are
// the same.
if (virDomainGetBlockInfo(dom, device, &info, 0) < 0)
    goto failure;
if (info.allocation == info.physical) {
    // If the domain is no longer active,
    // then the defaults are being returned.
    if (!virDomainIsActive())
            goto ignore_return;
}
// Do something with the allocation and physical values

virDomainGetBlockIoTune

int	virDomainGetBlockIoTune		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 virTypedParameterPtr params,
					 int * nparams,
					 unsigned int flags)

Get all block IO tunable parameters for a given device. On input, nparams gives the size of the params array; on output, nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value.

As a special case, calling with params as NULL and nparams as 0 on input will cause nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor, either for the given disk (note that block devices of different types might support different parameters), or if disk is NULL, for all possible disks. The caller should then allocate params array, i.e. (sizeof(sizeofvirTypedParameter * nparams) bytes and call the API again. See virDomainGetMemoryParameters() for more details.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "xvda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. This parameter cannot be NULL unless nparams is 0 on input.

virDomainGetBlockJobInfo

int	virDomainGetBlockJobInfo	(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * disk,
					 virDomainBlockJobInfoPtr info,
					 unsigned int flags)

Request block job information for the given disk. If an operation is active info will be updated with the current progress. The units used for the bandwidth field of info depends on flags. If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_INFO_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, bandwidth is in bytes/second (although this mode can risk failure due to overflow, depending on both client and server word size); otherwise, the value is rounded up to MiB/s.

The disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

In cases when libvirt can't determine actual progress of the block job from the underlying hypervisor due to corner cases such as the job wasn't yet fully initialized, or finalized and thus the progress can't be queried, libvirt reports 'cur = 0, end = 1'.

For jobs requiring finalizing via qemuDomainBlockJobAbort() with VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_PIVOT flag which reached synchronised phase, but were empty, or the progress can't be determined libvirt returns 'cur = 1, end = 1'.

Users thus should not consider any data where 'end = 1' as absolute progress value.

Applications looking for a reliable and low-overhead way to determine whether a block job already finished or reached synchronised phase should register a handler for the VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BLOCK_JOB_2 event instead of polling this API.

Note that the progress reported for blockjobs corresponding to a pull-mode backup don't report progress of the backup but rather usage of temporary space required for the backup.

dom
pointer to domain object
disk
path to the block device, or device shorthand
info

Returns

virDomainGetCPUStats

int	virDomainGetCPUStats		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 virTypedParameterPtr params,
					 unsigned int nparams,
					 int start_cpu,
					 unsigned int ncpus,
					 unsigned int flags)

Get statistics relating to CPU usage attributable to a single domain (in contrast to the statistics returned by virNodeGetCPUStats() for all processes on the host). dom must be running (an inactive domain has no attributable cpu usage). On input, params must contain at least nparams * ncpus entries, allocated by the caller.

If start_cpu is -1, then ncpus must be 1, and the returned results reflect the statistics attributable to the entire domain (such as user and system time for the process as a whole). Otherwise, start_cpu represents which cpu to start with, and ncpus represents how many consecutive processors to query, with statistics attributable per processor (such as per-cpu usage). If ncpus is larger than the number of cpus available to query, then the trailing part of the array will be unpopulated.

The remote driver imposes a limit of 128 ncpus and 16 nparams; the number of parameters per cpu should not exceed 16, but if you have a host with more than 128 CPUs, your program should split the request into multiple calls.

As special cases, if params is NULL and nparams is 0 and ncpus is 1, and the return value will be how many statistics are available for the given start_cpu. This number may be different for start_cpu of -1 than for any non-negative value, but will be the same for all non-negative start_cpu. Likewise, if params is NULL and nparams is 0 and ncpus is 0, the number of cpus available to query is returned. From the host perspective, this would typically match the cpus member of virNodeGetInfo(), but might be less due to host cpu hotplug.

For now, flags is unused, and the statistics all relate to the usage from the host perspective. It is possible that a future version will support a flag that queries the cpu usage from the guest's perspective, where the maximum cpu to query would be related to virDomainGetVcpusFlags() rather than virNodeGetInfo(). An individual guest vcpu cannot be reliably mapped back to a specific host cpu unless a single-processor vcpu pinning was used, but when start_cpu is -1, any difference in usage between a host and guest perspective would serve as a measure of hypervisor overhead.

Typical use sequence is below.

getting total stats: set start_cpu as -1, ncpus 1

virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, NULL, 0, -1, 1, 0); // nparams
params = calloc(nparams, sizeof(virTypedParameter))
virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, params, nparams, -1, 1, 0); // total stats.

getting per-cpu stats:

virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0); // ncpus
virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 0); // nparams
params = calloc(ncpus * nparams, sizeof(virTypedParameter));
virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, params, nparams, 0, ncpus, 0); // per-cpu stats
domain

params

nparams

start_cpu

ncpus

flags
bitwise-OR of virTypedParameterFlags
Returns
-1 on failure, or the number of statistics that were populated per cpu on success (this will be less than the total number of populated params, unless ncpus was 1; and may be less than nparams). The populated parameters start at each stride of nparams, which means the results may be discontiguous; any unpopulated parameters will be zeroed on success (this includes skipped elements if nparams is too large, and tail elements if ncpus is too large). The caller is responsible for freeing any returned string parameters.

virDomainGetDiskErrors

int	virDomainGetDiskErrors		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 virDomainDiskErrorPtr errors,
					 unsigned int maxerrors,
					 unsigned int flags)

The function populates errors array with all disks that encountered an I/O error. Disks with no error will not be returned in the errors array. Each disk is identified by its target (the dev attribute of target subelement in domain XML), such as "vda", and accompanied with the error that was seen on it. The caller is also responsible for calling free() on each disk name returned.

In a special case when errors is NULL and maxerrors is 0, the function returns preferred size of errors that the caller should use to get all disk errors.

Since calling virDomainGetDiskErrors(dom, NULL, 0, 0) to get preferred size of errors array and getting the errors are two separate operations, new disks may be hotplugged to the domain and new errors may be encountered between the two calls. Thus, this function may not return all disk errors because the supplied array is not large enough. Such errors may, however, be detected by listening to domain events.

dom

errors

maxerrors

The function returns a superset of progress information provided by virDomainGetJobInfo. Possible fields returned in params are defined by VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_* macros and new fields will likely be introduced in the future so callers may receive fields that they do not understand in case they talk to a newer server.

When flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_STATS_COMPLETED, the function will return statistics about a recently completed job. Specifically, this flag may be used to query statistics of a completed incoming pre-copy migration (statistics for post-copy migration are only available on the source host). Statistics of a completed job are automatically destroyed once read (unless the VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_STATS_COMPLETED_KEEP is used as well) or when libvirtd is restarted. Note that time information returned for completed migrations may be completely irrelevant unless both source and destination hosts have synchronized time (i.e., NTP daemon is running on both of them). The statistics of a completed job can also be obtained by listening to a VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_JOB_COMPLETED event (on the source host in case of a migration job).

virDomainGetMemoryParameters

int	virDomainGetMemoryParameters	(virDomainPtr domain,
					 virTypedParameterPtr params,
					 int * nparams,
					 unsigned int flags)

Get all memory parameters. On input, nparams gives the size of the params array; on output, nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value.

As a special case, calling with params as NULL and nparams as 0 on input will cause nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. The caller should then allocate params array, i.e. (sizeof(sizeofvirTypedParameter * nparams) bytes and call the API again.

Here is a sample code snippet:

if (virDomainGetMemoryParameters(dom, NULL, &nparams, 0) == 0 &&
    nparams != 0) {
    if ((params = malloc(sizeof(*params) * nparams)) == NULL)
        goto error;
    memset(params, 0, sizeof(*params) * nparams);
    if (virDomainGetMemoryParameters(dom, params, &nparams, 0))
        goto error;
}

This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This function expects the caller to allocate the params.

Fetch a list of all messages recorded against the VM and store them into msgs array which is allocated upon successful return and is NULL terminated. The caller is responsible for freeing msgs when no longer needed.

If flags is zero then all messages are reported. The virDomainMessageType constants can be used to restrict results to certain types of message.

Note it is hypervisor dependent whether messages are available for shutoff guests, or running guests, or both. Thus a client should be prepared to re-fetch messages when a guest transitions between running and shutoff states.

Retrieves the appropriate domain element given by type. If VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_ELEMENT is requested parameter uri must be set to the name of the namespace the requested elements belong to, otherwise must be NULL.

If an element of the domain XML is not present, the resulting error will be VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN_METADATA. This method forms a shortcut for seeing information from virDomainSetMetadata() without having to go through virDomainGetXMLDesc().

flags controls whether the live domain or persistent configuration will be queried.

virDomainGetNumaParameters

int	virDomainGetNumaParameters	(virDomainPtr domain,

Get all numa parameters. On input, nparams gives the size of the params array; on output, nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value.

As a special case, calling with params as NULL and nparams as 0 on input will cause nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. The caller should then allocate params array, i.e. (sizeof(sizeofvirTypedParameter * nparams) bytes and call the API again.

virDomainGetVcpusFlags

int	virDomainGetVcpusFlags		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 unsigned int flags)

Query the number of virtual CPUs used by the domain. Note that this call may fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE, this will query a running domain (which will fail if domain is not active); if it includes VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG, this will query the XML description of the domain. It is an error to set both flags. If neither flag is set (that is, VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then the configuration queried depends on whether the domain is currently running.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_MAXIMUM, then the maximum virtual CPU limit is queried. Otherwise, this call queries the current virtual CPU count.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_GUEST, then the state of the processors is queried in the guest instead of the hypervisor. This flag is only usable on live domains. Guest agent may be needed for this flag to be available.

virDomainGetXMLDesc

char *	virDomainGetXMLDesc		(virDomainPtr domain,

Provide an XML description of the domain. The description may be reused later to relaunch the domain with virDomainCreateXML().

No security-sensitive data will be included unless flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE; this flag is rejected on read-only connections. If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE, then the XML represents the configuration that will be used on the next boot of a persistent domain; otherwise, the configuration represents the currently running domain. If flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU, then the portion of the domain XML describing CPU capabilities is modified to match actual capabilities of the host.

If flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE, the XML is altered to assist in migrations, since the source and destination may be running different libvirt versions. This may include trimming redundant or default information that might confuse an older recipient, or exposing internal details that aid a newer recipient; this flag is rejected on read-only connections, and the resulting XML might not validate against the schema, so it is mainly for internal use.

virDomainInterfaceAddresses

int	virDomainInterfaceAddresses	(virDomainPtr dom,
					 virDomainInterfacePtr ** ifaces,
					 unsigned int source,
					 unsigned int flags)

Return a pointer to the allocated array of pointers to interfaces present in given domain along with their IP and MAC addresses. Note that single interface can have multiple or even 0 IP addresses.

This API dynamically allocates the virDomainInterfacePtr struct based on how many interfaces domain dom has, usually there's 1:1 correlation. The count of the interfaces is returned as the return value.

If source is VIR_DOMAIN_INTERFACE_ADDRESSES_SRC_LEASE, the DHCP lease file associated with any virtual networks will be examined to obtain the interface addresses. This only returns data for interfaces which are connected to virtual networks managed by libvirt.

If source is VIR_DOMAIN_INTERFACE_ADDRESSES_SRC_AGENT, a configured guest agent is needed for successful return from this API. Moreover, if guest agent is used then the interface name is the one seen by guest OS. To match such interface with the one from dom XML use MAC address or IP range.

If source is VIR_DOMAIN_INTERFACE_ADDRESSES_SRC_ARP, the host ARP table will be check to obtain the interface addresses. As the arp cache refreshes in time, the returned ip address may be unreachable. Depending on the route table config of the guest, the returned mac address may be duplicated.

Note that for some source values some pieces of returned ifaces might be unset (e.g. VIR_DOMAIN_INTERFACE_ADDRESSES_SRC_ARP does not set IP address prefix as ARP table does not have any notion of that).

ifaces->name and ifaces->hwaddr are never NULL.

The caller *must* free ifaces when no longer needed. Usual use case looks like this:

virDomainInterfacePtr *ifaces = NULL;
int ifaces_count = 0;
size_t i, j;
virDomainPtr dom = ... obtain a domain here ...;

if ((ifaces_count = virDomainInterfaceAddresses(dom, &ifaces,
         VIR_DOMAIN_INTERFACE_ADDRESSES_SRC_LEASE)) < 0)
    goto cleanup;

... do something with returned values, for example:

for (i = 0; i < ifaces_count; i++) {
    printf("name: %s", ifaces[i]->name);
    if (ifaces[i]->hwaddr)
        printf(" hwaddr: %s", ifaces[i]->hwaddr);

    for (j = 0; j < ifaces[i]->naddrs; j++) {
        virDomainIPAddressPtr ip_addr = ifaces[i]->addrs + j;
        printf("[addr: %s prefix: %d type: %d]",
               ip_addr->addr, ip_addr->prefix, ip_addr->type);
    }
    printf("\n");
}

    if (ifaces && ifaces_count > 0)

virDomainInterfaceStats

int	virDomainInterfaceStats		(virDomainPtr dom,

This function returns network interface stats for interfaces attached to the domain.

The device parameter is the network interface either by name or MAC address.

Domains may have more than one network interface. To get stats for each you should make multiple calls to this function.

Individual fields within the stats structure may be returned as -1, which indicates that the hypervisor does not support that particular statistic.

The returned stats are from domain's point of view.

Please note, for an unmanaged ethernet type, returned stats might have RX/TX swapped.

virDomainListGetStats

int	virDomainListGetStats		(virDomainPtr * doms,
					 unsigned int stats,
					 virDomainStatsRecordPtr ** retStats,

Query statistics for domains provided by doms. Note that all domains in doms must share the same connection.

Report statistics of various parameters for a running VM according to stats field. The statistics are returned as an array of structures for each queried domain. The structure contains an array of typed parameters containing the individual statistics. The typed parameter name for each statistic field consists of a dot-separated string containing name of the requested group followed by a group specific description of the statistic value.

The statistic groups are enabled using the stats parameter which is a binary-OR of enum virDomainStatsTypes. The stats groups are documented in virConnectGetAllDomainStats.

Using 0 for stats returns all stats groups supported by the given hypervisor.

Specifying VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS as flags makes the function return error in case some of the stat types in stats were not recognized by the daemon. However, even with this flag, a hypervisor may omit individual fields within a known group if the information is not available; as an extreme example, a supported group may produce zero fields for offline domains if the statistics are meaningful only for a running domain.

Passing VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_NOWAIT in flags means when libvirt is unable to fetch stats for any of the domains (for whatever reason) only a subset of statistics is returned for the domain. That subset being statistics that don't involve querying the underlying hypervisor.

Note that any of the domain list filtering flags in flags may be rejected by this function.

int	virDomainManagedSave		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 unsigned int flags)

This method will suspend a domain and save its memory contents to a file on disk. After the call, if successful, the domain is not listed as running anymore. The difference from virDomainSave() is that libvirt is keeping track of the saved state itself, and will reuse it once the domain is being restarted (automatically or via an explicit libvirt call). As a result any running domain is sure to not have a managed saved image. This also implies that managed save only works on persistent domains, since the domain must still exist in order to use virDomainCreate() to restart it.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_BYPASS_CACHE, then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while creating the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing saves to NFS.

Normally, the managed saved state will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and start will resume to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in flags will override the default saved into the file. These two flags are mutually exclusive.

virDomainManagedSaveDefineXML

int	virDomainManagedSaveDefineXML	(virDomainPtr domain,
					 const char * dxml,
					 unsigned int flags)

This updates the definition of a domain stored in a saved state file.

dxml can be used to alter host-specific portions of the domain XML that will be used on the next start of the domain. For example, it is possible to alter the backing filename that is associated with a disk device.

Normally, the saved state file will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and restore defaults to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in flags will override the default saved into the file; omitting both leaves the file's default unchanged. These two flags are mutually exclusive.

virDomainMemoryPeek

int	virDomainMemoryPeek		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 unsigned long long start,
					 size_t size,
					 void * buffer,
					 unsigned int flags)

This function allows you to read the contents of a domain's memory.

The memory which is read is controlled by the 'start', 'size' and 'flags' parameters.

If 'flags' is VIR_MEMORY_VIRTUAL then the 'start' and 'size' parameters are interpreted as virtual memory addresses for whichever task happens to be running on the domain at the moment. Although this sounds haphazard it is in fact what you want in order to read Linux kernel state, because it ensures that pointers in the kernel image can be interpreted coherently.

'buffer' is the return buffer and must be at least 'size' bytes. 'size' may be 0 to test if the call would succeed.

NB. The remote driver imposes a 64K byte limit on 'size'. For your program to be able to work reliably over a remote connection you should split large requests to <= 65536 bytes. However, with 0.9.13 this RPC limit has been raised to 1M byte. Starting with version 1.0.6 the RPC limit has been raised again. Now large requests up to 16M byte are supported.

virDomainMemoryStats

int	virDomainMemoryStats		(virDomainPtr dom,
					 virDomainMemoryStatPtr stats,

This function provides memory statistics for the domain.

Up to 'nr_stats' elements of 'stats' will be populated with memory statistics from the domain. Only statistics supported by the domain, the driver, and this version of libvirt will be returned.

Memory Statistics:

VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_SWAP_IN: The total amount of data read from swap space (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_SWAP_OUT: The total amount of memory written out to swap space (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_MAJOR_FAULT: The number of page faults that required disk IO to service. VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_MINOR_FAULT: The number of page faults serviced without disk IO. VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_UNUSED: The amount of memory which is not being used for any purpose (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_AVAILABLE: The total amount of memory available to the domain's OS (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_USABLE: How much the balloon can be inflated without pushing the guest system to swap, corresponds to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_ACTUAL_BALLOON: Current balloon value (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_LAST_UPDATE Timestamp of the last statistic VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_DISK_CACHES Memory that can be reclaimed without additional I/O, typically disk caches (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_HUGETLB_PGALLOC The number of successful huge page allocations from inside the domain VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_HUGETLB_PGFAIL The number of failed huge page allocations from inside the domain

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by dconn (a connection to the destination host).

See VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_* and virDomainMigrateFlags for detailed description of accepted migration parameters and flags.

See virDomainMigrateFlags documentation for description of individual flags.

VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED and VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER are not supported by this API, use virDomainMigrateToURI3 instead.

There are many limitations on migration imposed by the underlying technology - for example it may not be possible to migrate between different processors even with the same architecture, or between different types of hypervisor.

virDomainMigrateStartPostCopy

int	virDomainMigrateStartPostCopy	(virDomainPtr domain,
					 unsigned int flags)

Starts post-copy migration. This function has to be called while migration (initiated with VIR_MIGRATE_POSTCOPY flag) is in progress.

Traditional pre-copy migration iteratively walks through guest memory pages and migrates those that changed since the previous iteration. The iterative phase stops when the number of dirty pages is low enough so that the virtual CPUs can be paused, all dirty pages transferred to the destination, where the virtual CPUs are unpaused, and all this can happen within a predefined downtime period. It's clear that this process may never converge if downtime is too short and/or the guest keeps changing a lot of memory pages.

When migration is switched to post-copy mode, the virtual CPUs are paused immediately, only a minimum set of pages is transferred, and the CPUs are unpaused on destination. The source keeps sending all remaining memory pages to the destination while the guest is already running there. Whenever the guest tries to read a memory page which has not been migrated yet, the hypervisor has to tell the source to transfer that page in a priority channel. To minimize such page faults, it is a good idea to run at least one iteration of pre-copy migration before switching to post-copy.

Post-copy migration is guaranteed to converge since each page is transferred at most once no matter how fast it changes. On the other hand once the guest is running on the destination host, the migration can no longer be rolled back because none of the hosts has complete state. If this happens, libvirt will leave the domain paused on the source host with VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_POSTCOPY_FAILED reason. The domain on the destination host will remain running with VIR_DOMAIN_RUNNING_POSTCOPY_FAILED reason. It's up to the upper layer to decide what to do in such case. Because of this, libvirt will refuse to cancel post-copy migration via virDomainAbortJobFlags unless it is called with VIR_DOMAIN_ABORT_JOB_POSTCOPY, in which case the post-copy migration will be paused.

Failed post-copy migration can be recovered once the cause for the failure (e.g., a network issue) is resolved by repeating the migration with an additional VIR_MIGRATE_POSTCOPY_RESUME flag. This will recreate the connection and resume migration from the point where it failed. This step can be repeated in case the migration breaks again.

The following domain life cycle events are emitted during post-copy migration: VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_POSTCOPY (on the source) -- migration entered post-copy mode. VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_RESUMED_POSTCOPY (on the destination) -- the guest is running on the destination host while some of its memory pages still remain on the source host; neither the source nor the destination host contain a complete guest state from this point until migration finishes. VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_RESUMED_MIGRATED (on the destination), VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_STOPPED_MIGRATED (on the source) -- migration finished successfully and the destination host holds a complete guest state. VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SUSPENDED_POSTCOPY_FAILED (on the source), VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_RESUMED_POSTCOPY_FAILED (on the destination) -- emitted when migration fails in post-copy mode and it's unclear whether any of the hosts has a complete guest state. Virtual CPUs on the destination are still running.

The progress of a post-copy migration can be monitored normally using virDomainGetJobStats on the source host. Fetching statistics of a completed post-copy migration can also be done on the source host (by calling virDomainGetJobStats or listening to VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_JOB_COMPLETED event, but (in contrast to pre-copy migration) the statistics are not available on the destination host. Thus, VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_JOB_COMPLETED event is the only way of getting statistics of a completed post-copy migration of a transient domain (because the domain is removed after migration and there's no domain to run virDomainGetJobStats on).

virDomainMigrateToURI

int	virDomainMigrateToURI		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 const char * duri,
					 unsigned long flags,
					 const char * dname,
					 unsigned long bandwidth)

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by duri.

This function is similar to virDomainMigrateToURI3, but it only supports a fixed set of parameters: dname corresponds to VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_NAME, and bandwidth corresponds to VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_BANDWIDTH.

The operation of this API hinges on the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag.

If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag IS set, the duri parameter must be a valid libvirt connection URI, by which the source libvirt driver can connect to the destination libvirt. In other words, duri corresponds to dconnuri of virDomainMigrateToURI3.

If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is NOT set, the duri parameter takes a hypervisor specific URI used to initiate the migration. In this case duri corresponds to VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_URI of virDomainMigrateToURI3.

					 const char * dconnuri,
					 const char * miguri,
					 const char * dxml,
					 unsigned long flags,
					 const char * dname,
					 unsigned long bandwidth)

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by dconnuri.

This function is similar to virDomainMigrateToURI3, but it only supports a fixed set of parameters: miguri corresponds to VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_URI, dxml is VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_XML, dname is VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_NAME, and bandwidth corresponds to VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_BANDWIDTH.

The operation of this API hinges on the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag.

If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag IS set, the dconnuri parameter must be a valid libvirt connection URI, by which the source libvirt driver can connect to the destination libvirt. In other words, dconnuri has the same semantics as in virDomainMigrateToURI3.

If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is NOT set, the dconnuri must be NULL and the miguri parameter takes a hypervisor specific URI used to initiate the migration. In this case miguri corresponds to VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_URI of virDomainMigrateToURI3.

virDomainMigrateToURI3

int	virDomainMigrateToURI3		(virDomainPtr domain,

					 unsigned int flags)

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by URI.

See VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_* and virDomainMigrateFlags for detailed description of accepted migration parameters and flags.

The operation of this API hinges on the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag.

If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is set, the dconnuri parameter must be a valid libvirt connection URI, by which the source libvirt daemon can connect to the destination libvirt.

If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is NOT set, then dconnuri must be NULL and VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_URI migration parameter must be filled in with hypervisor specific URI used to initiate the migration. The uri_transports element of the hypervisor capabilities XML includes supported URI schemes. This is called "direct" migration. Not all hypervisors support this mode of migration, so if the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is not set, then it may be necessary to use the alternative virDomainMigrate3 API providing an explicit virConnectPtr for the destination host.

There are many limitations on migration imposed by the underlying technology - for example it may not be possible to migrate between different processors even with the same architecture, or between different types of hypervisor.

virDomainOpenChannel

int	virDomainOpenChannel		(virDomainPtr dom,

This opens the host interface associated with a channel device on a guest, if the host interface is supported. If name is given, it can match either the device alias (e.g. "channel0"), or the virtio target name (e.g. "org.qemu.guest_agent.0"). If name is omitted, then the first channel is opened. The channel is associated with the passed in st stream, which should have been opened in non-blocking mode for bi-directional I/O.

By default, when flags is 0, the open will fail if libvirt detects that the channel is already in use by another client; passing VIR_DOMAIN_CHANNEL_FORCE will cause libvirt to forcefully remove the other client prior to opening this channel.

virDomainOpenConsole

int	virDomainOpenConsole		(virDomainPtr dom,

This opens the backend associated with a console, serial or parallel port device on a guest, if the backend is supported. If the dev_name is omitted, then the first console or serial device is opened. The console is associated with the passed in st stream, which should have been opened in non-blocking mode for bi-directional I/O.

By default, when flags is 0, the open will fail if libvirt detects that the console is already in use by another client; passing VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_FORCE will cause libvirt to forcefully remove the other client prior to opening this console.

If flag VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_SAFE the console is opened only in the case where the hypervisor driver supports safe (mutually exclusive) console handling.

Older servers did not support either flag, and also did not forbid simultaneous clients on a console, with potentially confusing results. When passing flags of 0 in order to support a wider range of server versions, it is up to the client to ensure mutual exclusion.

virDomainPMSuspendForDuration

int	virDomainPMSuspendForDuration	(virDomainPtr dom,
					 unsigned int target,

Attempt to have the guest enter the given target power management suspension level. If duration is non-zero, also schedule the guest to resume normal operation after that many seconds, if nothing else has resumed it earlier. Some hypervisors require that duration be 0, for an indefinite suspension.

Dependent on hypervisor used, this may require a guest agent to be available, e.g. QEMU.

Beware that at least for QEMU, the domain's process will be terminated when VIR_NODE_SUSPEND_TARGET_DISK is used and a new process will be launched when libvirt is asked to wake up the domain. As a result of this, any runtime changes, such as device hotplug or memory settings, are lost unless such changes were made with VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG flag.

virDomainPinEmulator

int	virDomainPinEmulator		(virDomainPtr domain,

Dynamically change the real CPUs which can be allocated to all emulator threads. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor.

flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG. Both flags may be set. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE is set, the change affects a running domain and may fail if domain is not alive. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG is set, the change affects persistent state, and will fail for transient domains. If neither flag is specified (that is, flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed. Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations.

If neither flag is specified (that is, flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed. Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations.

virDomainReboot

int	virDomainReboot			(virDomainPtr domain,
					 unsigned int flags)

Reboot a domain, the domain object is still usable thereafter, but the domain OS is being stopped for a restart. Note that the guest OS may ignore the request. Additionally, the hypervisor may check and support the domain 'on_reboot' XML setting resulting in a domain that shuts down instead of rebooting.

If flags is set to zero, then the hypervisor will choose the method of shutdown it considers best. To have greater control pass one or more of the virDomainRebootFlagValues. The order in which the hypervisor tries each shutdown method is undefined, and a hypervisor is not required to support all methods.

To use guest agent (VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_GUEST_AGENT) the domain XML must have <channel> configured.

Due to implementation limitations in some drivers (the qemu driver, for instance) it is not advised to migrate or save a guest that is rebooting as a result of this API. Migrating such a guest can lead to a plain shutdown on the destination.

virDomainRef

int	virDomainRef			(virDomainPtr domain)

Increment the reference count on the domain. For each additional call to this method, there shall be a corresponding call to virDomainFree to release the reference count, once the caller no longer needs the reference to this object.

This method is typically useful for applications where multiple threads are using a connection, and it is required that the connection remain open until all threads have finished using it. ie, each new thread using a domain would increment the reference count.

Returns

virDomainRename

int	virDomainRename			(virDomainPtr dom,
					 const char * new_name,

Rename a domain. New domain name is specified in the second argument. Depending on each driver implementation it may be required that domain is in a specific state.

There might be some attributes and/or elements in domain XML that if no value provided at XML defining time, libvirt will derive their value from the domain name. These are not updated by this API. Users are strongly advised to change these after the rename was successful.

virDomainRestoreFlags

int	virDomainRestoreFlags		(virConnectPtr conn,

This method will restore a domain saved to disk by virDomainSave().

If the hypervisor supports it, dxml can be used to alter host-specific portions of the domain XML that will be used when restoring an image. For example, it is possible to alter the backing filename that is associated with a disk device, in order to prepare for file renaming done as part of backing up the disk device while the domain is stopped.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_BYPASS_CACHE, then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while restoring the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing restores from NFS.

Normally, the saved state file will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and restore defaults to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in flags will override the default read from the file. These two flags are mutually exclusive.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RESET_NVRAM, then libvirt will discard any existing NVRAM file and re-initialize NVRAM from the pristine template.

Normally, the saved state file will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and restore defaults to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in flags will override what state gets saved into the file. These two flags are mutually exclusive.

A save file can be inspected or modified slightly with virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() and virDomainSaveImageDefineXML().

dxml can be used to alter host-specific portions of the domain XML that will be used when restoring an image. For example, it is possible to alter the backing filename that is associated with a disk device, to match renaming done as part of backing up the disk device while the domain is stopped.

Normally, the saved state file will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and restore defaults to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in flags will override the default saved into the file; omitting both leaves the file's default unchanged.

virDomainScreenshot

					 virStreamPtr stream,
					 unsigned int screen,

Take a screenshot of current domain console as a stream. The image format is hypervisor specific. Moreover, some hypervisors supports multiple displays per domain. These can be distinguished by screen argument.

This call sets up a stream; subsequent use of stream API is necessary to transfer actual data, determine how much data is successfully transferred, and detect any errors.

The screen ID is the sequential number of screen. In case of multiple graphics cards, heads are enumerated before devices, e.g. having two graphics cards, both with four heads, screen ID 5 addresses the second head on the second card.

virDomainSendProcessSignal

int	virDomainSendProcessSignal	(virDomainPtr domain,
					 long long pid_value,
					 unsigned int signum,

Send a signal to the designated process in the guest

The signal numbers must be taken from the virDomainProcessSignal enum. These will be translated to the corresponding signal number for the guest OS, by the guest agent delivering the signal. If there is no mapping from virDomainProcessSignal to the native OS signals, this API will report an error.

If pid_value is an integer greater than zero, it is treated as a process ID. If pid_value is an integer less than zero, it is treated as a process group ID. All the pid_value numbers are from the container/guest namespace. The value zero is not valid.

Not all hypervisors will support sending signals to arbitrary processes or process groups. If this API is implemented the minimum requirement is to be able to use pid_value == 1 (i.e. kill init). No other value is required to be supported.

If the signum is VIR_DOMAIN_PROCESS_SIGNAL_NOP then this API will simply report whether the process is running in the container/guest.

virDomainSetBlockThreshold

Set the threshold level for delivering the VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BLOCK_THRESHOLD if the device or backing chain element described by dev is written beyond the set threshold level. The threshold level is unset once the event fires. The event might not be delivered at all if libvirtd was not running at the moment when the threshold was reached. Note that if the threshold level is reached for a top level image, the event is emitted for dev corresponding to the disk target, and may also be reported with dev corresponding to the disk target with an index corresponding to the 'index' attribute of 'source' in the live VM XML if the attribute is present.

dev can either be a disk target name (vda, sda) or disk target with index ( vda[4]). Without the index the top image in the backing chain will have the threshold set. The index corresponds to the 'index' attribute reported in the live VM XML for 'backingStore' or 'source' elements of a disk. If index is given the threshold is set for the corresponding image.

In case when dev does not contain index the VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BLOCK_THRESHOLD event may be emitted twice, once for the disk device target without index and once containing the index.

Note that the threshold event can be registered also for destinations of a 'virDomainBlockCopy' destination by using the 'index' of the 'mirror' source.

Hypervisors report the last written sector of an image in the bulk stats API (virConnectGetAllDomainStats/virDomainListGetStats) as "block.<num>.allocation" in the VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_BLOCK group. The current threshold value is reported as "block.<num>.threshold".

This event allows to use thin-provisioned storage which needs management tools to grow it without the need for polling of the data.

virDomainSetGuestVcpus

int	virDomainSetGuestVcpus		(virDomainPtr domain,

Sets state of individual vcpus described by cpumap via guest agent. Other vcpus are not modified.

This API requires the VM to run. Various hypervisors or guest agent implementation may limit to operate on just 1 vCPU per call.

cpumap is a list of vCPU numbers. Its syntax is a comma separated list and a special markup using '-' and '^' (ex. '0-4', '0-3,^2'). The '-' denotes the range and the '^' denotes exclusive. The expression is sequentially evaluated, so "0-15,^8" is identical to "9-14,0-7,15" but not identical to "^8,0-15".

Note that OSes (notably Linux) may require vCPU 0 to stay online to support low-level features a S3 sleep.

See VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_* for detailed description of accepted IOThread parameters.

Since the purpose of this API is to dynamically modify the IOThread flags should only include the VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT and/or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE virDomainMemoryModFlags. Setting other flags may cause errors from the hypervisor.

Note that this call can fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it or does not support setting the provided values.

Set a launch security secret in the guest's memory. The guest must be in a paused state, e.g. in state VIR_DOMIAN_PAUSED as reported by virDomainGetState. On success, the guest can be transitioned to a running state. On failure, the guest should be destroyed.

A basic guest attestation process can be achieved by: - Start a secure guest in the paused state by passing VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED to one of the virDomainCreate APIs - Retrieve the guest launch measurement with virDomainGetLaunchSecurityInfo - Verify launch measurement and generate a secret for the guest - Set the secret in the guest's memory with virDomainSetLaunchSecurityState - Start running the guest with virDomainResume

virDomainSetMemoryStatsPeriod

int	virDomainSetMemoryStatsPeriod	(virDomainPtr domain,
					 int period,
					 unsigned int flags)

Dynamically change the domain memory balloon driver statistics collection period. Use 0 to disable and a positive value to enable.

flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG. Both flags may be set. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE is set, the change affects a running domain and will fail if domain is not active. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG is set, the change affects persistent state, and will fail for transient domains. If neither flag is specified (that is, flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed.

Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations.

virDomainSetMetadata

int	virDomainSetMetadata		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 int type,
					 const char * metadata,
					 const char * key,
					 const char * uri,
					 unsigned int flags)

Sets the appropriate domain element given by type to the value of metadata. A type of VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_DESCRIPTION is free-form text; VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_TITLE is free-form, but no newlines are permitted, and should be short (although the length is not enforced). For these two options key and uri are irrelevant and must be set to NULL.

For type VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_ELEMENT metadata must be well-formed XML belonging to namespace defined by uri with local name key.

Passing NULL for metadata says to remove that element from the domain XML (passing the empty string leaves the element present).

The resulting metadata will be present in virDomainGetXMLDesc(), as well as quick access through virDomainGetMetadata().

flags controls whether the live domain, persistent configuration, or both will be modified.

Change all or a subset of the numa tunables. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor.

Changing live configuration may be possible only in some cases. For instance, for QEMU driver the mode (VIR_DOMAIN_NUMA_MODE) can not be changed, and changing the nodeset (VIR_DOMAIN_NUMA_NODESET) is possible only for VIR_DOMAIN_NUMATUNE_MEM_RESTRICTIVE mode.

Changing persistent configuration does not pose such limitations.

virDomainSetTime

int	virDomainSetTime		(virDomainPtr dom,

When a domain is suspended or restored from a file the domain's OS has no idea that there was a big gap in the time. Depending on how long the gap was, NTP might not be able to resynchronize the guest.

This API tries to set guest time to the given value. The time to set (seconds and nseconds) should be in seconds relative to the Epoch of 1970-01-01 00:00:00 in UTC.

Please note that some hypervisors may require guest agent to be configured and running in order to be able to run this API.

Various hypervisor implementations may limit to operate on just 1 hotpluggable entity (which may contain multiple vCPUs on certain platforms).

Note that OSes and hypervisors may require vCPU 0 to stay online.

virDomainSetVcpus

int	virDomainSetVcpus		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 unsigned int nvcpus)

Dynamically change the number of virtual CPUs used by the domain. Note that this call may fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it or if growing the number is arbitrarily limited. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor.

Note that if this call is executed before the guest has finished booting, the guest may fail to process the change.

This command only changes the runtime configuration of the domain, so can only be called on an active domain. It is hypervisor-dependent whether it also affects persistent configuration; for more control, use virDomainSetVcpusFlags().

virDomainSetVcpusFlags

int	virDomainSetVcpusFlags		(virDomainPtr domain,

					 unsigned int flags)

Dynamically change the number of virtual CPUs used by the domain. Note that this call may fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it or if growing the number is arbitrarily limited. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor.

flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE to affect a running domain (which may fail if domain is not active), or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG to affect the next boot via the XML description of the domain. Both flags may be set. If neither flag is specified (that is, flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed.

Note that if this call is executed before the guest has finished booting, the guest may fail to process the change.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_MAXIMUM, then VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE must be clear, and only the maximum virtual CPU limit is altered; generally, this value must be less than or equal to virConnectGetMaxVcpus(). Otherwise, this call affects the current virtual CPU limit, which must be less than or equal to the maximum limit. Note that hypervisors may not allow changing the maximum vcpu count if processor topology is specified.

If flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_GUEST, then the state of processors is modified inside the guest instead of the hypervisor. This flag can only be used with live guests and is incompatible with VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_MAXIMUM. The usage of this flag may require a guest agent configured.

Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations.

virDomainShutdown

int	virDomainShutdown		(virDomainPtr domain)

Shutdown a domain, the domain object is still usable thereafter, but the domain OS is being stopped. Note that the guest OS may ignore the request. Additionally, the hypervisor may check and support the domain 'on_poweroff' XML setting resulting in a domain that reboots instead of shutting down. For guests that react to a shutdown request, the differences from virDomainDestroy() are that the guests disk storage will be in a stable state rather than having the (virtual) power cord pulled, and this command returns as soon as the shutdown request is issued rather than blocking until the guest is no longer running.

If the domain is transient and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then that metadata will automatically be deleted when the domain quits.

virDomainShutdownFlags

int	virDomainShutdownFlags		(virDomainPtr domain,

Shutdown a domain, the domain object is still usable thereafter but the domain OS is being stopped. Note that the guest OS may ignore the request. Additionally, the hypervisor may check and support the domain 'on_poweroff' XML setting resulting in a domain that reboots instead of shutting down. For guests that react to a shutdown request, the differences from virDomainDestroy() are that the guest's disk storage will be in a stable state rather than having the (virtual) power cord pulled, and this command returns as soon as the shutdown request is issued rather than blocking until the guest is no longer running.

If the domain is transient and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then that metadata will automatically be deleted when the domain quits.

If flags is set to zero, then the hypervisor will choose the method of shutdown it considers best. To have greater control pass one or more of the virDomainShutdownFlagValues. The order in which the hypervisor tries each shutdown method is undefined, and a hypervisor is not required to support all methods.

To use guest agent (VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_GUEST_AGENT) the domain XML must have <channel> configured.

virDomainUndefineFlags

int	virDomainUndefineFlags		(virDomainPtr domain,
					 unsigned int flags)

Undefine a domain. If the domain is running, it's converted to transient domain, without stopping it. If the domain is inactive, the domain configuration is removed.

If the domain has a managed save image (see virDomainHasManagedSaveImage()), then including VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_MANAGED_SAVE in flags will also remove that file, and omitting the flag will cause the undefine process to fail.

If the domain is inactive and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then including VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_SNAPSHOTS_METADATA in flags will also remove that metadata. Omitting the flag will cause the undefine of an inactive domain with snapshots to fail. Active domains will retain snapshot metadata until the (now-transient) domain halts, regardless of whether this flag is present. On hypervisors that support snapshots, but where snapshots do not use libvirt metadata, this flag has no effect.

If the domain is inactive and has any checkpoint metadata (see virDomainListAllCheckpoints()), then including VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_CHECKPOINTS_METADATA in flags will also remove that metadata. Omitting the flag will cause the undefine of an inactive domain with checkpoints to fail. Active domains will retain checkpoint metadata until the (now-transient) domain halts, regardless of whether this flag is present. On hypervisors that support checkpoints, but where checkpoints do not use libvirt metadata, this flag has no effect.

If the domain has any nvram specified, the undefine process will fail unless VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_KEEP_NVRAM is specified, or if VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_NVRAM is specified to remove the nvram file.

virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags

int	virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags	(virDomainPtr domain,
					 const char * xml,
					 unsigned int flags)

Change a virtual device on a domain, using the flags parameter to control how the device is changed. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT specifies that the device change is made based on current domain state. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE specifies that the device shall be changed on the active domain instance only and is not added to the persisted domain configuration. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG specifies that the device shall be changed on the persisted domain configuration only. Note that the target hypervisor must return an error if unable to satisfy flags. E.g. the hypervisor driver will return failure if LIVE is specified but it only supports modifying the persisted device allocation.

This method is used for actions such changing CDROM/Floppy device media, altering the graphics configuration such as password, reconfiguring the NIC device backend connectivity, etc.

The supplied XML description of the device should contain all the information that is found in the corresponding domain XML. Leaving out any piece of information may be treated as a request for its removal, which may be denied. For instance, when users want to change CDROM media only for live XML, they must provide live disk XML as found in the corresponding live domain XML with only the disk path changed.
