Libvirt is collection of software that provides a convenient way to manage virtual machines and other virtualization functionality, such as storage and network interface management. These software pieces include an API library, a daemon (libvirtd), and a command line utility (virsh). Note that OpenBSD cannot act as a virtualization host yet, so libvirtd is not provided in this package. [...] feedback/ok aja@

Libvirt is collection of software that provides a convenient way to
|
|
manage virtual machines and other virtualization functionality, such as
|
|
storage and network interface management. These software pieces include
|
|
an API library, a daemon (libvirtd), and a command line utility (virsh).
|
|
|
|
Note that OpenBSD cannot act as a virtualization host yet, so libvirtd
|
|
is not provided in this package.
|
|
|
|
A primary goal of libvirt is to provide a single way to manage multiple
|
|
different virtualization providers/hypervisors. For example, the command
|
|
'virsh list --all' can be used to list the existing virtual machines for
|
|
any supported hypervisor (KVM, Xen, VMWare ESX, etc.) No need to learn
|
|
the hypervisor specific tools!
