Any help is needed ? Well, I was busy with some other parts of the project. Also took care of some issues with the ESX driver that showed up during tests like silent session timeouts. I'm currently checking the VI API to see where to gather the information for dump-xml, but it seems one needs to read most of it from the .vmx file of a virtual machine located on the host. Luckily all files of a virtual machine are readable via HTTP: http://example-esx-host.com/folder/... So the .vmx file is easily accessible using libcurl. Luckily (again) there is some unofficial documentation about the VMX format available: http://www.sanbarrow.com/vmx.html Within the next few days I'll post a proposal on how to map a .vmx file into the libvirt xml representation. For create-xml the ESX driver would need to write a .vmx file to the ESX host, because the .vmx file is essential to create a virtual machine. Luckily (once again) the ESX host allows putting files to http://example-esx-host.com/folder/... via HTTP.
