DESCRIPTION

The Sys::Virt::Domain module represents a guest domain managed by the virtual machine monitor.

METHODS

my $id = $dom->get_id()

Returns an integer with a locally unique identifier for the domain.

my $uuid = $dom->get_uuid()

Returns a 16 byte long string containing the raw globally unique identifier (UUID) for the domain.

my $uuid = $dom->get_uuid_string()

Returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'.

my $name = $dom->get_name()

Returns a string with a locally unique name of the domain

my $hostname = $dom->get_hostname($flags=0)

Returns a string representing the hostname of the guest. $flags can be zero or more of

Sys::Virt::Domain::GET_HOSTNAME_AGENT: Report the guest agent hostname
Sys::Virt::Domain::GET_HOSTNAME_LEASE: Report the DHCP lease hostname

my $str = $dom->get_metadata($type, $uri, $flags =0)

Returns the metadata element of type $type associated with the domain. If $type is Sys::Virt::Domain::METADATA_ELEMENT then the $uri parameter specifies the XML namespace to retrieve, otherwise $uri should be undef. The optional $flags parameter defaults to zero.

$dom->set_metadata($type, $val, $key, $uri, $flags=0)

Sets the metadata element of type $type to hold the value $val. If $type is Sys::Virt::Domain::METADATA_ELEMENT then the $key and $uri elements specify an XML namespace to use, otherwise they should both be undef. The optional $flags parameter defaults to zero.

$dom->is_active()

Returns a true value if the domain is currently running

$dom->is_persistent()

Returns a true value if the domain has a persistent configuration file defined

$dom->is_updated()

Returns a true value if the domain is running and has a persistent configuration file defined that is out of date compared to the current live config.

my $xml = $dom->get_xml_description($flags=0)

Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the domain's configuration. The optional $flags parameter controls generation of the XML document, defaulting to 0 if omitted. It can be one or more of the XML DUMP constants listed later in this document.

my $type = $dom->get_os_type()

Returns a string containing the name of the OS type running within the domain.

$dom->create($flags)

Start a domain whose configuration was previously defined using the define_domain method in Sys::Virt. The $flags parameter accepts one of the DOMAIN CREATION constants documented later, and defaults to 0 if omitted.

$dom->create_with_files($fds, $flags)

Start a domain whose configuration was previously defined using the define_domain method in Sys::Virt. The $fds parameter is an array of UNIX file descriptors which will be passed to the init process of the container. This is only supported with container based virtualization.The $flags parameter accepts one of the DOMAIN CREATION constants documented later, and defaults to 0 if omitted.

$dom->undefine()

Remove the configuration associated with a domain previously defined with the define_domain method in Sys::Virt. If the domain is running, you probably want to use the shutdown or destroy methods instead.

$dom->suspend()

Temporarily stop execution of the domain, allowing later continuation by calling the resume method.

$dom->resume()

Resume execution of a domain previously halted with the suspend method.

$dom->pm_wakeup()

Wakeup the guest from power management suspend state

$dom->pm_suspend_for_duration($target, $duration, $flags=0)

The flags parameter takes one or more of the Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_XXX constants described later in this document. The %params parameter is a hash reference used to set various parameters for the migration operation, with the following valid keys.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_URI

The URI to use for initializing the domain migration. It takes a hypervisor specific format. The uri_transports element of the hypervisor capabilities XML includes details of the supported URI schemes. When omitted libvirt will auto-generate suitable default URI. It is typically only necessary to specify this URI if the destination host has multiple interfaces and a specific interface is required to transmit migration data.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_NAME

The name to be used for the domain on the destination host. Omitting this parameter keeps the domain name the same. This field is only allowed to be used with hypervisors that support domain renaming during migration.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_XML

The new configuration to be used for the domain on the destination host. The configuration must include an identical set of virtual devices, to ensure a stable guest ABI across migration. Only parameters related to host side configuration can be changed in the XML. Hypervisors which support this field will forbid migration if the provided XML would cause a change in the guest ABI. This field cannot be used to rename the domain during migration (use VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_NAME field for that purpose). Domain name in the destination XML must match the original domain name.

Omitting this parameter keeps the original domain configuration. Using this field with hypervisors that do not support changing domain configuration during migration will result in a failure.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_GRAPHICS_URI

URI to use for migrating client's connection to domain's graphical console as VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING. If specified, the client will be asked to automatically reconnect using these parameters instead of the automatically computed ones. This can be useful if, e.g., the client does not have a direct access to the network virtualization hosts are connected to and needs to connect through a proxy. The URI is formed as follows:

protocol://hostname[:port]/[?parameters]

where protocol is either "spice" or "vnc" and parameters is a list of protocol specific parameters separated by '&'. Currently recognized parameters are "tlsPort" and "tlsSubject". For example,

spice://target.host.com:1234/?tlsPort=4567

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_BANDWIDTH

The maximum bandwidth (in MiB/s) that will be used for migration. If set to 0 or omitted, libvirt will choose a suitable default. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if this field is used and is not 0.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_BANDWIDTH_POSTCOPY

The maximum bandwidth (in MiB/s) that will be used for migration during post-copy phase. If set to 0 or omitted, libvirt will choose a suitable default. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and return an error if this field is used and is not 0.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_LISTEN_ADDRESS

The address on which to listen for incoming migration connections. If omitted, libvirt will listen on the wildcard address (0.0.0.0 or ::). This default may be a security risk if guests, or other untrusted users have the ability to connect to the virtualization host, thus use of an explicit restricted listen address is recommended.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_DISK_PORT

Port that destination server should use for incoming disks migration. Type is VIR_TYPED_PARAM_INT. If set to 0 or omitted, libvirt will choose a suitable default. At the moment this is only supported by the QEMU driver.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_MIGRATE_DISKS

The list of disks to migrate when doing block storage migration. In contrast to other parameters whose values are plain strings, the parameter value should be an array reference, whose elements are in turn strings representing the disk target names.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_COMPRESSION

The type of compression method use use, either xbzrle or mt.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_COMPRESSION_MT_THREADS

The number of compression threads to use

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_COMPRESSION_MT_DTHREADS

The number of decompression threads

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_COMPRESSION_MT_LEVEL

The compression level from 0 (no compression) to 9 (maximum compression)

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_COMPRESSION_XBZRLE_CACHE

The size of the cache for xbzrle compression

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_PERSIST_XML

The alternative persistent XML config to copy

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_AUTO_CONVERGE_INITIAL

The initial percentage to throttle guest vCPUs

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_AUTO_CONVERGE_INCREMENT

The additional percentage step size to throttle guest vCPUs if progress is not made

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_PARALLEL_CONNECTIONS

The number of connections used during parallel migration.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_TLS_DESTINATION

Override the destination host name used for TLS verification. Normally the TLS certificate from the destination host must match the host's name for TLS verification to succeed. When the certificate does not match the destination hostname and the expected certificate's hostname is known, this parameter can be used to pass this expected hostname when starting the migration.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_DISKS_URI

The URI to use for initializing the domain migration for storage. It takes a hypervisor specific format. The uri_transports element of the hypervisor capabilities XML includes details of the supported URI schemes. When omitted libvirt will auto-generate suitable default URI. It is typically only necessary to specify this URI if the destination host has multiple interfaces and a specific interface is required to transmit storage data.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_ZLIB_LEVEL

The level of compression for zlib. Accepted values are in range 0-9. 0 is no compression, 1 is maximum speed and 9 is maximum compression.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_ZSTD_LEVEL

The level of compression for zstd. Accepted values are in range 0-20. 0 is no compression, 1 is maximum speed and 20 is maximum compression.

Sys::Virt::Domain::MIGRATE_PARAM_DISKS_DETECT_ZEROES

Enable zero detection on list of disks to avoid transferring zero blocks. Users must ensure that any pre-created storage source on the destination will be cleared and thus read all-zeroes before using this feature, otherwise the destination image may become corrupted.
