When using a non-Xen backend with virsh, it gets pretty tedious always
passing '--default test:///some/big/path' - particularly if you're never
using Xen on that machine. Thus I figured it would be useful to allow
the default Xen URI to be overridden via an environment variable.
[berrange@localhost src]$ unset VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI
[berrange@localhost src]$ ./virsh list
failed to find libvirt_proxy
libvir: error : no support for hypervisor
lt-virsh: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
[berrange@localhost src]$ export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=test:///default
[berrange@localhost src]$ ./virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------
0 Domain-0 running
This will be even more useful when other real hypervisors are available
for libvirt.
The patch also removes the assumption in virsh that there is >= 1 guest
domains - sure Xen always has a Domain-0, but its not guarenteed that
other non-Xen HVs have a permanent Domain-0
Regards,
Dan.
