Hi Daniel, That'd be great. I will use that 'probe' method. Is it included in the latest libvirt 0.4.2 release? Thanks, Eunice Daniel P. Berrange wrote:

Xen is the default hypervisor for virsh and if the user doesn't specify in the command line option, the virsh connects to xen. But, for the SPARC platforms, xen is not supported. So I would like to add the #ifdef WITH_LDOMS block in do_open() (in src/libvirt.c) to default to ldoms if the user doesn't specify with --connect when running virsh on the SPARC platforms. static virConnectPtr do_open (const char *name, virConnectAuthPtr auth, int flags) { int i, res; virConnectPtr ret = NULL; xmlURIPtr uri; #ifdef WITH_LDOMS =====> /* Convert NULL or "" to ldoms:/// */ =====> if (!name || name[0] == '\0') name = "ldoms:///"; =====> #else =====> /* Convert NULL or "" to xen:/// for back compat */ if (!name || name[0] == '\0') name = "xen:///"; #endif .. Would this kind of branching in the common code be acceptable?This particularly area of code has changed since the LDoms code was first written. There is now a 'probe' method in all the internal driver APIs. If you implement the probe driver method for LDoms it will automatically translate NULL / "" into ldoms:/// getting the effect you desire without needing the #ifdefs Regards, Dan.
