Historically there wer several problems - It poked in /proc to determine what HV / guests were supported. THis is now fixed since we use the capabilities APIs - It accesses local filesystem to create disk images. This can be fixed by swithcing to use the storage APIs, which I believe Cole has been looking at - It downloads kernel/initrd images to local files. This can be fixed by only allowing PXE for remote hosts, or using storage APIs to find CD ISO images remotely. There's probably a few other loose ends to tidy up, but we're pretty close to being able to suport remote guest creation once the storage APIs are used by virt-manager Regards, Daniel. -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
