Re: [ovirt-devel] Heads-up: moving Libvirt xml creation to the engine
----- Original Message -----
Hi,
very first question which comes to mind
is: will vdsm hooks which alter the libvirt xml
still work?
I believe this is a much used feature
and if it would not work anymore out of the box
this would be a huge pain in upgrading existing systems.
Yes, the hooks will still work. Please look at my response to didi regarding VDSM hooks.
furthermore I don't really see the benfits when you generate
the xml in engine:
you still need to alter it in vdsm as you write, to fill in host
specific things like storagepaths anyway, meaning you have to maintain
twice the codebase _and_ coordinate between the two of them, so nothing
goes wrong if one project changes something in the xml.
The removal of the code that is being executed before the hooks are called which creates
the XML from the VM properties map would justify the effort.
Once VDSM will support only the new API (of getting Libvirt XML as an input) this code
could be removed.
but this are just my 2 cent :-)
