Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Element and attribute overview
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A query interface was added to the virConnect API's to retrieve the XML listing
|
|
of the set of Storage Pool Capabilities ( :since:`Since 5.2.0` ):
|
|
|
|
``virConnectGetStoragePoolCapabilities`` (`API docs <html/libvirt-libvirt-storage.html#virConnectGetStoragePoolCapabilities>`__)
|
|
|
|
The root element that emulator capability XML document starts with is named
|
|
``storagepoolCapabilities``. There will be any number of ``pool`` child elements
|
|
with two attributes ``type`` and ``supported``. Each ``pool`` element may have a
|
|
``poolOptions`` or ``volOptions`` subelements to describe the available
|
|
features. Sample XML output is:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<storagepoolCapabilities>
|
|
<pool type='dir' supported='yes'>
|
|
<volOptions>
|
|
<defaultFormat type='raw'</>
|
|
<enum name='targetFormatType'>
|
|
<value>none</value>
|
|
<value>raw</value>
|
|
...
|
|
</enum>
|
|
</volOptions>
|
|
</pool>
|
|
<pool type='fs' supported='yes'>
|
|
<poolOptions>
|
|
<defaultFormat type='auto'</>
|
|
<enum name='sourceFormatType'>
|
|
<value>auto</value>
|
|
<value>ext2</value>
|
|
...
|
|
</enum>
|
|
</poolOptions>
|
|
<volOptions>
|
|
<defaultFormat type='raw'</>
|
|
<enum name='targetFormatType'>
|
|
<value>none</value>
|
|
<value>raw</value>
|
|
...
|
|
</enum>
|
|
</volOptions>
|
|
</pool>
|
|
...
|
|
</storagepoolCapabilities>
|
|
|
|
The following section describes subelements of the ``poolOptions`` and
|
|
``volOptions`` subelements
|
|
|
|
``defaultFormat``
|
|
For the ``poolOptions``, the ``type`` attribute describes the default format
|
|
name used for the pool source. For the ``volOptions``, the ``type`` attribute
|
|
describes the default volume name used for each volume.
|
|
``enum``
|
|
Each enum uses a name from the list below with any number of ``value`` value
|
|
subelements describing the valid values.
|
|
|
|
``sourceFormatType``
|
|
Lists all the possible ``poolOptions`` source pool format types.
|
|
``targetFormatType``
|
|
Lists all the possible ``volOptions`` target volume format types.
