Re: [one-users] Controlling KVM VMs from network
Hello Daniel, QMP is not available because afaik it's not compatible with Libvirt, and OpenNebula requires Libvirt for KVM guests. However, vncdo should work. We haven't tried it out, but if you enable GRAPHICS = [ TYPE = vnc ] you should be able to use vncdo. cheers, Jaime On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 1:08 PM, Daniel Dehennin daniel.dehen...@baby-gnu.org wrote: Hello, We are trying to build an automated integration test environment and are facing one issue: controlling KVM VMs. Looking around, we saw that jenkins.debian.net use “vncdo” to send keys to automated their qemu based tests[1].

Re: [one-users] Controlling KVM VMs from network
Hi, I just found out about this, so you might be able to use QMP after all, via Libvirt: $ virsh help qemu-monitor-command cheers, Jaime On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 11:24 AM, Jaime Melis jme...@opennebula.org wrote: Hello Daniel, QMP is not available because afaik it's not compatible with Libvirt, and OpenNebula requires Libvirt for KVM guests.

Re: [one-users] Controlling KVM VMs from network
Jaime Melis jme...@opennebula.org writes: Oh, I see what you mean. Well, it depends on what type of operations you want to execute. If you stop the virtual machine, OpenNebula will move it to UNKNOWN state, for example. But if you use it to manipulate parameters inside the virtual machine, OpenNebula will probably not care about that. Can you elaborate a bit more on what you are planning to do? We plan to build an automatic test framework based on jenkins.debian.net, but managing VMs with ONE. We are looking at what's the best to send keys to VMs, mostly to select a boot entry of an ISO image. Using vncdo seems to not provide feedback, unlike QMP.
