Element and attribute overview
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As new virtualization engine support gets added to libvirt, and to handle cases
|
|
like QEMU supporting a variety of emulations, a query interface has been added
|
|
in 0.2.1 allowing to list the set of supported virtualization capabilities on
|
|
the host:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
char * virConnectGetCapabilities (virConnectPtr conn);
|
|
|
|
The value returned is an XML document listing the virtualization capabilities of
|
|
the host and virtualization engine to which ```conn`` is connected. One can test
|
|
it using ``virsh`` command line tool command '``capabilities``', it dumps the
|
|
XML associated to the current connection.
|
|
|
|
As can be seen in the `Examples`_, the capabilities XML
|
|
consists of the ``capabilities`` element which have exactly one ``host`` child
|
|
element to report information on host capabilities, and zero or more ``guest``
|
|
element to express the set of architectures the host can run at the moment.
|
|
|
|
Host capabilities
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The ``<host/>`` element consists of the following child elements:
|
|
|
|
``uuid``
|
|
The host UUID.
|
|
``cpu``
|
|
The host CPU architecture and features.
|
|
``power_management``
|
|
whether host is capable of memory suspend, disk hibernation, or hybrid
|
|
suspend.
|
|
``migration_features``
|
|
This element exposes information on the hypervisor's migration capabilities,
|
|
like live migration, supported URI transports, and so on.
|
|
``topology``
|
|
This element embodies the host internal topology. Management applications may
|
|
want to learn this information when orchestrating new guests - e.g. due to
|
|
reduce inter-NUMA node transfers. Note that the ``sockets`` value reported
|
|
here is per-NUMA-node; this is in contrast to the value given in domain
|
|
definitions, which is interpreted as a total number of sockets for the
|
|
domain.
|
|
``secmodel``
|
|
To find out default security labels for different security models you need to
|
|
parse this element. In contrast with the former elements, this is repeated
|
|
for each security model the libvirt daemon currently supports.
|
|
|
|
Guest capabilities
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
While the previous section (`Host capabilities`_) aims at host capabilities,
|
|
this one focuses on capabilities available to a guest using a given hypervisor.
|
|
The ``<guest/>`` element will typically wrap up the following elements:
|
|
|
|
``os_type``
|
|
This expresses what kind of operating system the hypervisor is able to run.
|
|
Possible values are:
|
|
|
|
``xen``
|
|
for XEN PV
|
|
``linux``
|
|
legacy alias for ``xen``
|
|
``xenpvh``
|
|
for XEN PVH
|
|
``hvm``
|
|
Unmodified operating system
|
|
``exe``
|
|
Container based virtualization
|
|
``arch``
|
|
This element brings some information on supported guest architecture.
|
|
Possible subelements are:
|
|
|
|
``wordsize``
|
|
Size of CPU word in bits, for example 64.
|
|
``emulator``
|
|
Emulator (device model) path, for use in
|
|
`emulator <formatdomain.html#devices>`__ element of domain XML.
|
|
``loader``
|
|
Loader path, for use in `loader <formatdomain.html#bios-bootloader>`__
|
|
element of domain XML.
|
|
``machine``
|
|
Machine type, for use in
|
|
`machine <formatdomain.html#operating-system-booting>`__ attribute of
|
|
os/type element in domain XML. For example Xen supports ``xenfv`` for HVM,
|
|
``xenpv`` for PV, or ``xenpvh`` for PVH.
|
|
``domain``
|
|
The ``type`` attribute of this element specifies the type of hypervisor
|
|
required to run the domain. Use in
|
|
`type <formatdomain.html#element-and-attribute-overview>`__ attribute of
|
|
the domain root element.
|
|
``features``
|
|
This optional element encases possible features that can be used with a guest
|
|
of described type. Possible subelements are:
|
|
|
|
``pae``
|
|
If present, 32-bit guests can use PAE address space extensions,
|
|
:since:`since 0.4.1`
|
|
``nonpae``
|
|
If present, 32-bit guests can be run without requiring PAE, :since:`since
|
|
0.4.1`
|
|
``ia64_be``
|
|
If present, IA64 guests can be run in big-endian mode, :since:`since
|
|
0.4.1`
|
|
``acpi``
|
|
If this element is present, the ``default`` attribute describes whether
|
|
the hypervisor exposes ACPI to the guest by default, and the ``toggle``
|
|
attribute describes whether the user can override this default.
|
|
:since:`Since 0.4.1`
|
|
``apic``
|
|
If this element is present, the ``default`` attribute describes whether
|
|
the hypervisor exposes APIC to the guest by default, and the ``toggle``
|
|
attribute describes whether the user can override this default.
|
|
:since:`Since 0.4.1`
|
|
``cpuselection``
|
|
If this element is present, the hypervisor supports the ``<cpu>`` element
|
|
within a domain definition for fine-grained control over the CPU presented
|
|
to the guest. :since:`Since 0.7.5`
|
|
``deviceboot``
|
|
If this element is present, the ``<boot order='...'/>`` element can be
|
|
used inside devices, rather than the older boot specification by category.
|
|
:since:`Since 0.8.8`
|
|
``disksnapshot``
|
|
If this element is present, the ``default`` attribute describes whether
|
|
external disk snapshots are supported. If absent, external snapshots may
|
|
still be supported, but it requires attempting the API and checking for an
|
|
error to find out for sure. :since:`Since 1.2.3`
|
|
|
|
Examples

For example, in the case of a 64-bit machine with hardware virtualization
|
|
capabilities enabled in the chip and BIOS you will see:
