Yes in recent versions of libvirt there is now code allowing to handle ESX (and GSX), though we still need a driver page for it under http://libvirt.org/drivers.html (any chance Matthias ;-) ?) See http://libvirt.org/search.php?query=VMWare&submit=Search there are various post on this list about this the URI format is: {esx|gsx}://[<user>@]<server>[:<port>][?transport={http|https}][&vcenter=<vcenter>][&no_verify={0|1}] in general the following might be sufficient to establish a connection: esx://server_name and once you have a connection well, it's like for any other hypervisor, except you don't need to run libvirtd on the target host since it speaks directly to the ESX server. Matthias is the expert for this driver, I am not :-) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxx | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
