        <h1>VMware Workstation / Player / Fusion hypervisors driver</h1>
        <p>
        The libvirt VMware driver should be able to manage any Workstation,
        Player, Fusion version supported by the VMware VIX API. See the
        compatibility list
        <a href="http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix110_reference/">here</a>.
    </p>
    <p>
    This driver uses the "vmrun" utility which is distributed with the VMware VIX API.
    You can download the VIX API
    from <a href="http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/">here</a>.
    </p>

    <h2>Connections to VMware driver</h2>

    <p>
    The libvirt VMware driver provides per-user drivers (the "session" instance).
    Three uris are available:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>"vmwareplayer" for VMware Player</li>
      <li>"vmwarews" for VMware Workstation</li>
      <li>"vmwarefusion" for VMware Fusion</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
    Some example connection URIs for the driver are:
    </p>

<pre>
vmwareplayer:///session                  (local access to VMware Player per-user instance)
vmwarews:///session                      (local access to VMware Workstation per-user instance)
vmwarefusion:///session                      (local access to VMware Fusion per-user instance)
vmwarews+tcp://user@example.com/session  (remote access to VMware Workstation, SASl/Kerberos)
vmwarews+ssh://user@example.com/session  (remote access to VMware Workstation, SSH tunnelled)
</pre>

Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags. There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML doctype to all files forces us to create good XML. This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag problems it exposes. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> 2013-05-03 18:25:37 +04:00			`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>`
docs: switch to using HTML5 doctype declaration The HTML5 doctype is simply <!DOCTYPE html> no DTD is present because HTML5 is no longer defined as an extension of SGML. XSL has no way to natively output a doctype without a public or system identifier, so we have to use an <xsl:text> hack instead. See also https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/#doctype-declaration Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> 2017-07-26 20:01:25 +03:00			`<!DOCTYPE html>`

website: Point main page links to libvirt driver pages The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of the underlying virt technologies. The entry for KVM points to http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example. People coming to libvirt.org for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies. This patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead. It also consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for them. Finally, it adds a line about networking support. v2: incorporate Eric's feedback adding project links to driver pages. website: Add project links to KVM/QEMU driver page website: Add project links to Xen driver page website: Add project links to LXC driver page website: Add project links to OpenVZ driver page website: Add project links to UML driver page website: Add project links to Virtualbox driver page website: Add project links to ESX driver page website: Add project links to VMware driver page 2011-07-15 22:33:17 +04:00
