 Hello Everyone,
 
 I am facing a problem in defining the xml for domain creation using libvirt. 
 I am using Xen hypervisor.
 
 domPtr = lib.virDomainDefineXML(conPtr, domainXML);
 
 I get the following error:
 
 libvir: Xen Daemon error : XML error: failed to parse domain description

This suggests there is an error in your xml. Would you mind sending the
content of domainXML to this list?

Re: [libvirt-users] Reg: Difference between chroot pivot_root

 Hi,
What is the difference between chroot  pivot_root.
They don't seem obvious based on the man pages apart from the below
 mentioned
caveats.
 
1) Inherited Open file descriptors, have to be explicitly closed.
2) Does not change CWD of the process, which can be overcome by doing a
 chdir before  after chroot call.
 
Any information on this would be useful.

I assume you are asking wrt the libvirt LXC driver, which uses pivot_root
instead of chroot() when setting up the guest. The primary reason for this
is that chroot() is escapable, where as pivot_root() is not.

 About what you say, I totally agree. It's just I am very surprised that 
 an Intel Xeon E5430 is detected just as a pentium3

That's because your CPU doesn't support nx feature, which is included in all
models better than pentium3.

Is NX, the NX bit feature ? In that case, I am going to check in the 
bios if it is just not enabled. Because, normally, this CPU should 
support it.

That might be it.
