simulating multiple hypervisors with the test driver

[Tom Ammon <thomasammon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 

I'm working on a python application that will manage multiple remote libvirt hypervisors. I've been using the test:///default uri for single-hypervisor tests, and it works great. 

I'd like to simulate connecting to two different remote hypervisors, however, in my testing so far it appears that multiple connections to the test:///default uri just look like different connections to the same hypervisor. Here's what I tried :

conn_one = libvirt.open('test:///default')

<build and start some domains>

_one_vms_ = conn_one.listAllDomains(0)

for x in one_vms:
    print(f"The vm in set one is {x.name()}")

<get list of all the domains I just built>

conn_two = libvirt.open('test:///default')

<build and start some different domains>

two_vms = conn_two.listAllDomains(0)
for z in two_vms:
    print(f"The vm in set one is {z.name()}")

<get list of ALL domains including those created with conn_one, not just those created using the conn_two instance>

What I would like is to be able to spin up two completely independent instances of the test driver so that it can simulate two different hypervisors/instances of libvirtd.

Is that possible?

Thanks, 

Tom
