<p>
|
|
This page provides an illustration of the wide variety of
|
|
applications using the libvirt management API. If you know
|
|
of interesting applications not listed on this page, send
|
|
a message to the <a href="contact.html">mailing list</a>
|
|
to request that it be added here. If your application uses
|
|
libvirt as its API, the following graphic is available for
|
|
your website to advertise support for libvirt:

<dd>
|
|
Provides a way to provision new virtual machines from a
|
|
OS distribution install tree. It supports provisioning from
|
|
local CD images, and the network over NFS, HTTP and FTP.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><a href="http://virt-manager.org/">virt-clone</a></dt>
|

<dd>
|
|
Allows the disk image(s) and configuration for an existing
|
|
virtual machine to be cloned to form a new virtual machine.
|
|
It automates copying of data across to new disk images, and
|
|
updates the UUID, Mac address and name in the configuration
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><a href="http://virt-manager.org/">virt-image</a></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Provides a way to deploy virtual appliances. It defines a
|
|
simplified portable XML format describing the pre-requisites
|
|
of a virtual machine. At time of deployment this is translated
|
|
into the domain XML format for execution under any libvirt
|
|
hypervisor meeting the pre-requisites.

|
Examine the utilization of each filesystem in a virtual machine
|
|
from the comfort of the host machine. This tool peeks into the
|
|
guest disks and determines how much space is used. It can cope
|
|
with common Linux filesystems and LVM volumes.

A tool for converting a physical machine into a virtual machine. It
|
|
is a LiveCD which is booted on the machine to be converted. It collects
|
|
a little information from the user and then copies the disks over to
