I'm hooked...
I attended SCaLE 11x, my first technical conference, and had an amazing time. My favorite talk was Michael Day's "Advancements with Open Virtualization & KVM" (link to slides). Michael's presentation inspired me to continue my work on virt-back.
During my trip home I used the in-flight wifi to push this commit into the cloud from the clouds! This particular commit re-factored the dom object list generation into a simple-to-use class called Domfetcher. Domfetcher abstracts the libvirt API and grants access to the following helper methods:
get_all_doms( )
Return a list of all dom objects
get_doms_by_names( guest_names=[] )
Accept a list of guest_names, return a list of related dom objects
get_running_doms( )
Return a list of running dom objects
get_shutoff_doms( )
Return a list of shutoff but defined dom objects
This is an example of how to use Domfetcher:
import virtback
# optionally supply hypervisor uri
domfetcher = virtback.Domfetcher()
doms = domfetcher.get_running_doms()
for dom in doms:
print dom.name()
for dom in doms:
print dom.info()
for dom in doms:
print dom.shutdown()
As always thanks for reading!
