Hi,

In oVirt environment, power manager should be enabled for the host to
support VM high availability in the cluster. Various kinds of
physical power management protocol are supported, ie., ALOM, ILO&etc.
However, when the oVirt is running on a nested KVM
environment, there is no feasible way to do the power management of the
VDSM host(also a KVM virtual machine). A new protocol
will be based on libvirt to achieve the power management of a virtual
host. The new protocol can be named as "libvirtp".

In oVirt engine, a new type will be added to

power management---> type libvirtp
power management--->address it will be the IP of the physical host where
the virtual VDSM host is on when "libvirtp" is selected
power management--->user name it will be the user name to the libvirtd
service
power management--->password it will be the password to the libvirtd service
power management--->port it will be the port to the libvirtd service
