基于libvcirt的虚拟化guest domain overview:
A guest domain may be transient, or persistent. A transient guest domain can only be managed while
it is running on the host and, when powered off, all trace of it will disappear. A persistent guest domain
has its configuration maintained in a data store on the host by the hypervisor, in an implementation
defined format. Thus when a persistent guest is powered off, it is still possible to manage its inactive
config. A transient guest can be turned into a persistent guest on the fly by defining a configuration for
it.
virDomainLookupByID,virDomainLookupByName,virDomainLokkupByUUID
Example:Fetching a domain object from ID
int domainID = 6;
virDomainPtr dom;
dom = virDomainLookupByID(conn,domainID);
example:fetching a domain object from Name
int domainName = "byRuiy";
virDomainPtr dom;
dom = virDomainLookupByName(conn,domainName);
example:fetching a domain object from an UUID
char *domainUUID = "byrui-1990-04-03-15055198367-5160-59158"
virDomainPtr dom
dom = virDomainLookupByUUIDString(conn,domainUUID);
virConnectListDomains
virConnectNumOfDomains
int i;
int numDomains;
int *activeDomains;
numDomains = virConnectNumOfDomains(conn);
activeDomains = virConnectListDomains(conn,activeDomains,numDomains);
printf("Active domain IDs:\n");
for(i = 0;i < numDomains;i++)
{
printf("%d \n",activeDomains[i]);
}
free(activeDomains);
Exampe:Listing active domais
there may be some persistent inactive domain configurations stored on the host.
virConnectListDefinedDomains
virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains
int i;
int numDomains;
char **inactiveDomains;
numDomains = virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains(conn);
inactiveDomains = malloc(sizeof(char *) * numDomains);
numDomains = virConnectListDomains(conn,inactiveDomains,numDomains);
printf("Inactive domain names:\n");
for (i = 0;i < numDomains;i++)
{
printf("%s \n",inactiveDomains[i]);
free(inactiveDomains[i]);
}
free(inactiveDomains);
the APIs for listing domains do not directly return the full virDomainPtr objects,since this may incur
virDomainPtr *allDomains;
int numDomains;
int numActiveDomains,numInactiveDomains;
char *inactiveDomains;
int *activeDomains;
numActiveDomains = virConnectNumOfDomains(conn);
numInactiveDomains = virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains(conn);
allDomains = malloc(sizeof(virDomainPtr) * numActiveDomains + numInactiveDomains);
inactiveDomains = malloc(sizeof(char *) * numDomains);
activeDomains = malloc(sizeof(int) * numDomains);
numActiveDomains = virConnectListDomains(conn,activeDomains,numActiveDomains);
numInactiveDomains = virConnectListDomains(conn,activeDomains,numActiveDomains);
numInactiveDomains = virConnectListDomains(conn,inactiveDomains,NumInactiveDomains);
for (i = 0;i < numActiveDomains;i++)
{
allDomains[numDomains] = virDomainLoopupByID(aciveDomains[i]);
numDomains++

基于libvirt虚拟化 Guest domains lifecycle c ontrol API overview;
libvirt can control the entire lifecycle of guest domains,guest domains can transition through several states throughout their
virDomainCreateXML create and immediately boot a new transient guest domain,when this guest domain shuts down,all trace of it will disappear
virDomainDefineXML store the configuration for a persisent guest domain
virDomainCreate boot a previously defined guest domain from its persistent configuration,
virDomainDefineXML command can be used to turn a previously booted transient guest domain into a persistent domain
booting a transient guest domain
to boot a transient guest domain,simply requires a connection to libvirt and a string containing the XML document describing the required
configuration,the following example assumes that conn is
virDomainPtr dom;
const char *xmlconfig = "<domain>...</domain>";
dom = virConnectCreateXML(conn,xmlconfig,0);
if (!dom) {
fprintf(stderr,"Domain creation failed");
return;
}
fprintf(stderr,"Guest %s has booted",virDomainName(dom));
virDomainFree(dom);
Defining and booting a persistent guest domain
virDomainPtr dom;
const char *xmlconfig = "<domain>..</domain>";
dom = virConnectDefineXML(conn,xmlconfig,0);
if (!dom)
{
fprintf(stderr,"Domain definition failed");
return;
}
if (virDomainCreate(dom) < 0)
{
virDomainFree(dom);
fprintf(stderr,"Cannot boot guest");

shutdown and destroy

retrieving information about interfaces
enumerating interfaces
have a connection to a host,respresented by a virConnectPtr,determine the number of interface on the host with virConnectNumOfInterfaces
and virConnectNumOfDefinedInterfaces
a list of those interfaces names can be obtained with virConnectListInterfaces and virConnectListDefinedInterfaces
("defined" interfaces are those that have been defined,but are currently inactive)
getting a list of active("up" interfaces on a host)
int numIfaces,i char *ifaceNames; numIfaces = virConnectNumOfInterfaces(conn); ifaceNames = malloc(numIfaces * sizeof(char *)); numIfaces = virConnectListInterfaces(conn,names,ct); printf("Active host interfaces:\n"); for(i = 0;i < numIfaces;i++) { printf("%s \n",ifaceNames[i]); free(ifaceNames[i]); } free(ifaceNames);
getting a list of inactive ("down") interfaces on a host
int numIfaces,i; char *ifaceNames; numIfaces = virConnectNumOfDefinedInterfaces(conn); ifaceNames = malloc(numIfaces * sizeof(char *));//分配内存空间 numIfaces = virConnectListDefinedInterfaces(conn,names,ct); printf("Inactive host interfaces:\n"); for (i = 0;i < numIfaces;i++) { prientf("%s \n",ifaceNames[i]); free(ifaceNames[i]); } free(faceNames);

obtaining a virInterfacePtr for an interface
many operations require that you have a virInterfacePtr,but you may only have the name or MAC address of the interface
use virInterfaceLookupByName and virInterfaceLookupByMACString to get the virInterfacePtr
virInterfacePtr iface;
const char *name = "eth0";
iface = virInterfaceLookupByName(name);
if (iface)
{
/* use the virInterfacePtr*/
virInterfaceFree(iface);

else

//use the virInterfacePtr;
virInterfaceFree(iface);
}
else
{
printf("No interface found with MAC address ‘%s‘.\n",mac);
}
virInterfaceGetName virInterfaceMACString virInterfaxceGetXMLDesc
const char *name;
const char *mac;
name = virInterfaceGetName(iface);
mac = virInterfaceGetMACString(iface);
printf("Interface %s has MAC address %s",name,mac);
virInterfaceGetXMLDesc
const char *xml;
name = virInterfaceGetXMLDesc(iface,0);
printf("Interface configuration:\n%s \n",xml);
free(xml);
//xml is a char * containing the description
virInterfacePtr iface;
iface = virInterfaceDefineXML(xml,0);
if (!iface)
{
fprintf(stderr,"Failed to define interface. \n");
//other error handling
goto cleanup;
virInterfaceFree(iface);
cleanup;
}
virInterfacePtr iface;
char *xml = NULL;
iface = virInterfaceLookupByName("br0");
if (!iface)
{
printf("Interface br0 not found. \n");
}
else
{
xml = virInterfaceGetXMLDesc(iface,0);
virInterfaceUndefine(iface);
virInterfaceFree(iface);
}
//you must also free the buffer at xml when you‘re finished with it
activating/deactivating an interface
temporarily bring down eth2,then bring it back up
virInterfaqcePtr iface; iface = virInterfaceLookupByName("eth2"); if (!iface){ printf("Interface eth2 not found. \n"); } else{ if (virInterfaceDestroy(iface) != 0) { fprintf(stderr,"failed to destroy (deactive) interface eth2. \n"); } else{ // if (virInterfaceCreate(iface) != 0){ fprintf(stderr,"failed to create (active) interface eth2. \n"); } } free(iface); }
