Re: [libvirt-users] Host OS, Storage Info

["Ainsworth, Thomas" <tainsworth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Martin, et al,

Sorry for the lag in response.

So I started playing with the various virsh commands.  Awesome. 

Been doing some reading and I believe I have some things configured not so well.

As I stated earlier in the thread, we have all of the VM image files on one RAID5.  Very fast machine.

When using top, the load average is a stable "5.xx".  No I/O wait. GB's of free memory.  Swap has not been touched.
Using vmstat, I am writing to the RAID5 volume at a constant 150MB/s and reading at a constant 275MB/s. 

With all of that said, here are some results from virsh commands:

# virsh pool-list --all
Name                 State      Autostart
------------------------------------------------------
default              active     yes     


# virsh pool-info default
Name:           default
UUID:            xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
State:          running
Persistent:     yes
Autostart:      yes
Capacity:       30.76 GiB
Allocation:     2.10 GiB
Available:      28.66 GiB

Now, is that ok to have all of the VM's using a default pool? 
Or should a pool be created for each VM instance.

I honestly am not even sure what a pool references...?...

The more I read, the more I am moving away from thinking something in the OS is the cause of my sluggishness.

Suggestions?

Many thanks in advance,

Tom

Hi,
Is there any way to get host OS information and host Storage in formations
using libvirt API...?

Check virsh help (most of the commands you probably want start with
'node' or 'vol'/'pool') or have a look at our hvsupport page [1] for
virNode* and virStorage* functions.

If this isn't what you're looking for, specify your question in a
better way.
