Hi, I need to create an application where I can use a single interface for different VMs (libvirt becomes an obvious choice then). However I will need to control a VM running on custom hypervisor other than ones currently supported by libvirt. Is it possible to add a new interface to the hypervisor (easily)? Shall I try to use "test-hypervisor" supported by libvirt ??
Yes, adding a new hypervisor is intended to be relatively easy - provide callbacks that implement the semantics for your hypervisor, and it is okay to do things incrementally. See some recent posts for how to do this. HyperV was just added [1], and the Parallels driver had an initial proposal [2] (although it still needs a bit more work to be ready to integrate). Before that was libxl (I didn't dig up a URL for that one):
