I'm pleased to make available the code for an early *development snapshot* of a graphical application for managing virtual machines. This application is using libvirt as its backend API for managing virtual machines, while the user interface is built in Python and GTK/Glade. The application allows monitoring of guest VM resource utilization / allocation. There are basic controls for controlling the run state of guest. There is also a VNC client widget (written in pure Python!) for displaying the virtual guest framebuffer on fully-virt machines: http://people.redhat.com/berrange/virt-manager/index.html This is a very early snapshot - lots of functionality isn't hooked up yet, the error handling is mostly not there, and there are certainly plenty of bugs. It should none-the-less give a reasonable feel for the kind of direction the application will evolve in. Furthermore the website includes the UI mockups done by our user interaction designers to show some of the ideas considered in ongoing development of the application. The RPMs linked to from the website should install on both Fedora Core 5[1] and Fedora Core 6 test1 [2]. The FAQ contains a list of explicit dependancies which should facilitate people trying to get it running on non Fedora Linux distros. BTW, for those at the Red Hat Summit in Nashville a few weeks back, this is the graphical app I talked about in my presentation on management tools for virtualized system[3] & showed some demos of. At the time I was calling it 'GNOME Virt Manager', but is now renamed 'Virtual Machine Manager' or 'virt-manager' for the binary command / package name. Regards, Dan. [1] You'll need libvirt-0.1.1 from updates-testing [2] The plan is to get the RPMs into Fedora Extras in time for FC6 [3] http://people.redhat.com/berrange/summit-2006/ -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| -- Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
