<p>The Storage Pool Capabilities XML will provide the information
|
|
to determine what types of Storage Pools exist, whether the pool is
|
|
supported, and if relevant the source format types, the required
|
|
source elements, and the target volume format types. </p>

|
|
|
|
<p>A query interface was added to the virConnect API's to retrieve the
|
|
XML listing of the set of Storage Pool Capabilities
|
|
(<span class="since">Since 5.2.0</span>):</p>

|
<p>The root element that emulator capability XML document starts with is
|
|
named <code>storagepoolCapabilities</code>. There will be any number of
|
|
<code>pool</code> child elements with two attributes <code>type</code>
|
|
and <code>supported</code>. Each <code>pool</code> element may have
|
|
a <code>poolOptions</code> or <code>volOptions</code> subelements to
|
|
describe the available features. Sample XML output is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<storagepoolCapabilities>
|
|
<pool type='dir' supported='yes'>
|
|
<volOptions>
|
|
<defaultFormat type='raw'</>
|

<enum name='targetFormatType'>
|
|
<value>none</value>

<value>raw</value>

...

</enum>
|

</volOptions>
|

<pool type='fs' supported='yes'>

<enum name='targetFormatType'>

<p>The following section describes subelements of the

|
<code>poolOptions</code> and <code>volOptions</code> subelements </p>:
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>defaultFormat</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>For the <code>poolOptions</code>, the <code>type</code> attribute
|
|
describes the default format name used for the pool source. For the
|
|
<code>volOptions</code>, the <code>type</code> attribute describes
|
|
the default volume name used for each volume.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>enum</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Each enum uses a name from the list below with any number of
|
|
<code>value</code> value subelements describing the valid values.
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>sourceFormatType</code></dt>
|

<dd>Lists all the possible <code>poolOptions</code> source
|
|
pool format types.

<dt><code>targetFormatType</code></dt>
