Re: [Users] ovirt VM custom properties
Thanks Andy,
I was afraid that might be case ;)
I'll check out the examples and see what I can come up with.

Subject: [Users] ovirt VM custom properties
In an effort to work around the mouse issues with spice consoles and
certain guests I had an idea for the time being.
My thought process is to leverage custom properties to enable
usb-tablet support on said guests.
--> (
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.
0/html/Administration_Guide/VDSM_Hooks.html
)
I perused the available documentation and it appears that these custom
properties are ultimately fed into the generated libvirt domain xml.
Thus sifting through -->
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsInput we can pass in:
<devices>
<input type='tablet' bus='usb'/ id='input0'>
</devices>
The issue I am hung up on is that since this contains multi-level
elements can this even be specified as a custom property?
The custom property wouldn't contain the XML it would contain data you want to pass to
a hook script eg. addTablet=true, then it's down to your hook script to add the
appropriate element to the device node in the libvirt xml.
There's a number of good examples in the vdsm git repo.
If so can one of the ovirt developers provide an example on how to go
about it?
