NAME
Sys::Virt::Domain - Represent & manage a libvirt guest domain DESCRIPTION
The "Sys::Virt::Domain" module represents a guest domain managed by the virtual machine monitor. METHODS
my $id = $dom->get_id() Returns an integer with a locally unique identifier for the domain. my $uuid = $dom->get_uuid() Returns a 16 byte long string containing the raw globally unique identifier (UUID) for the domain. my $uuid = $dom->get_uuid_string() Returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'. my $name = $dom->get_name() Returns a string with a locally unique name of the domain my $str = $dom->get_metadata($type, $uri, $flags =0) Returns the metadata element of type $type associated with the domain. If $type is "Sys::Virt::Domain::METADATA_ELEMENT" then the $uri parameter specifies the XML namespace to retrieve, otherwise $uri should be "undef". The optional $flags parameter defaults to zero. $dom->set_metadata($type, $val, $key, $uri, $flags=0) Sets the metadata element of type $type to hold the value $val. If $type is "Sys::Virt::Domain::METADATA_ELEMENT" then the $key and $uri elements specify an XML namespace to use, otherwise they should both be "nudef". The optional $flags parameter defaults to zero. $dom->is_active() Returns a true value if the domain is currently running $dom->is_persistent() Returns a true value if the domain has a persistent configuration file defined $dom->is_updated() Returns a true value if the domain is running and has a persistent configuration file defined that is out of date compared to the current live config. my $xml = $dom->get_xml_description($flags=0) Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the domain's configuration. The optional $flags parameter controls generation of the XML document, defaulting to 0 if omitted. It can be one or more of the XML DUMP constants listed later in this document. my $type = $dom->get_os_type() Returns a string containing the name of the OS type running within the domain. $dom->create($flags) Start a domain whose configuration was previously defined using the "define_domain" method in Sys::Virt. The $flags parameter accepts one of the DOMAIN CREATION constants documented later, and defaults to 0 if omitted. $dom->undefine() Remove the configuration associated with a domain previously defined with the "define_domain" method in Sys::Virt. If the domain is running, you probably want to use the "shutdown" or "destroy" methods instead. $dom->suspend() Temporarily stop execution of the domain, allowing later continuation by calling the "resume" method. $dom->resume() Resume execution of a domain previously halted with the "suspend" method. $dom->pm_wakeup() Wakeup the guest from power management suspend state $dom->pm_suspend_for_duration($target, $duration, $flags=0) Tells the guest OS to enter the power management suspend state identified by $target. The $target parameter should be one of the NODE SUSPEND CONTANTS listed in "Sys::Virt". The $duration specifies when the guest should automatically wakeup. The $flags parameter is optional and defaults to zero. $dom->save($filename) Take a snapshot of the domain's state and save the information to the file named in the $filename parameter. The domain can later be restored from this file with the "restore_domain" method on the Sys::Virt object. $dom->managed_save($flags=0) Take a snapshot of the domain's state and save the information to a managed save location. The domain will be automatically restored with this state when it is next started. The $flags parameter is unused and defaults to zero. $bool = $dom->has_managed_save_image($flags=0) Return a non-zero value if the domain has a managed save image that will be used at next start. The $flags parameter is unused and defaults to zero. $dom->managed_save_remove($flags=0) Remove the current managed save image, causing the guest to perform a full boot next time it is started. The $flags parameter is unused and defaults to zero. $dom->core_dump($filename[, $flags]) Trigger a core dump of the guest virtual machine, saving its memory image to $filename so it can be analysed by tools such as "crash". The optional $flags flags parameter is currently unused and if omitted will default to 0. $dom->destroy() Immediately poweroff the machine. This is equivalent to removing the power plug. The guest OS is given no time to cleanup / save state. For a clean poweroff sequence, use the "shutdown" method instead. my $info = $dom->get_info() Returns a hash reference summarising the execution state of the domain. The elements of the hash are as follows: maxMem The maximum memory allowed for this domain, in kilobytes memory The current memory allocated to the domain in kilobytes cpuTime The amount of CPU time used by the domain nrVirtCpu The current number of virtual CPUs enabled in the domain state The execution state of the machine, which will be one of the constants &Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_*. my ($state, $reason) = $dom->get_state() Returns an array whose values specify the current state of the guest, and the reason for it being in that state. The $state values are the same as for the "get_info" API, and the $reason values come from: Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_CRASHED_UNKNOWN It is not known why the domain has crashed Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_NOSTATE_UNKNOWN It is not known why the domain has no state Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_DUMP The guest is paused due to a core dump operation Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_FROM_SNAPSHOT The guest is paused due to a snapshot Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_IOERROR The guest is paused due to an I/O error Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_MIGRATION The guest is paused due to migration Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_SAVE The guest is paused due to a save operation Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_UNKNOWN It is not known why the domain has paused Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_USER The guest is paused at admin request Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_WATCHDOG The guest is paused due to the watchdog Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PAUSED_SHUTTING_DOWN The guest is paused while domain shutdown takes place Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_BOOTED The guest is running after being booted Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_FROM_SNAPSHOT The guest is running after restore from snapshot Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_MIGRATED The guest is running after migration Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_MIGRATION_CANCELED The guest is running after migration abort Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_RESTORED The guest is running after restore from file Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_SAVE_CANCELED The guest is running after save cancel Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_UNKNOWN It is not known why the domain has started Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_UNPAUSED The guest is running after a resume Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_RUNNING_WAKEUP The guest is running after wakeup from power management suspend Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTDOWN_UNKNOWN It is not known why the domain has shutdown Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTDOWN_USER The guest is shutdown due to admin request Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTOFF_CRASHED The guest is shutoff after a crash Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTOFF_DESTROYED The guest is shutoff after being destroyed Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTOFF_FAILED The guest is shutoff due to a virtualization failure Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTOFF_FROM_SNAPSHOT The guest is shutoff after a snapshot Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTOFF_MIGRATED The guest is shutoff after migration Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTOFF_SAVED The guest is shutoff after a save Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTOFF_SHUTDOWN The guest is shutoff due to controlled shutdown Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_SHUTOFF_UNKNOWN It is not known why the domain has shutoff Sys::Virt::Domain::STATE_PMSUSPENDED_UNKNOWN It is not known why the domain was suspended my $info = $dom->get_control_info($flags=0) Returns a hash reference providing information about the control channel.

The $flags parameter can control whether the update affects the live guest, or inactive config, defaulting to modifying the current state. $dom->shutdown() Request that the guest OS perform a graceful shutdown and poweroff. This usually requires some form of cooperation from the guest operating system, such as responding to an ACPI signal, or a guest agent process.
