Sys::Virt::Network - Represent & manage a libvirt virtual network DESCRIPTION
The "Sys::Virt::Network" module represents a virtual network managed by the virtual machine monitor. METHODS
my $uuid = $net->get_uuid() Returns a 16 byte long string containing the raw globally unique identifier (UUID) for the network. my $uuid = $net->get_uuid_string() Returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'. my $name = $net->get_name() Returns a string with a locally unique name of the network $net->is_active() Returns a true value if the network is currently running $net->is_persistent() Returns a true value if the network has a persistent configuration file defined my $xml = $net->get_xml_description() Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the network's configuration $net->create() Start a network whose configuration was previously defined using the "define_network" method in Sys::Virt. $net->undefine() Remove the configuration associated with a network previously defined with the "define_network" method in Sys::Virt. If the network is running, you probably want to use the "shutdown" or "destroy" methods instead. $net->destroy() Immediately terminate the machine, and remove it from the virtual machine monitor. The $net handle is invalid after this call completes and should not be used again. $net->get_bridge_name() Return the name of the bridge device associated with the virtual network $flag = $net->get_autostart(); Return a true value if the virtual network is configured to automatically start upon boot. Return false, otherwise $net->set_autostart($flag) Set the state of the autostart flag, which determines whether the virtual network will automatically start upon boot of the host OS. CONSTANTS
XML CONSTANTS
The following constants are used when querying XML Sys::Virt::Network::XML_INACTIVE Request the inactive XML, instead of the current possibly live config. AUTHORS

Sys::Virt::StoragePool - Represent & manage a libvirt storage pool DESCRIPTION
The "Sys::Virt::StoragePool" module represents a storage pool managed by libvirt. There are a variety of storage pool implementations for LVM, Local directories/filesystems, network filesystems, disk partitioning, iSCSI, and SCSI. METHODS
my $uuid = $pool->get_uuid() Returns a 16 byte long string containing the raw globally unique identifier (UUID) for the storage pool. my $uuid = $pool->get_uuid_string() Returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'. my $name = $pool->get_name() Returns a string with a locally unique name of the storage pool $pool->is_active() Returns a true value if the storage pool is currently running $pool->is_persistent() Returns a true value if the storage pool has a persistent configuration file defined my $xml = $pool->get_xml_description() Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the storage pool's configuration $pool->create() Start a storage pool whose configuration was previously defined using the "define_storage_pool" method in Sys::Virt. $pool->undefine() Remove the configuration associated with a storage pool previously defined with the "define_storage pool" method in Sys::Virt. If the storage pool is running, you probably want to use the "shutdown" or "destroy" methods instead. $pool->destroy() Immediately terminate the machine, and remove it from the virtual machine monitor. The $pool handle is invalid after this call completes and should not be used again. $flag = $pool->get_autostart(); Return a true value if the storage pool is configured to automatically start upon boot. Return false, otherwise $pool->set_autostart($flag) Set the state of the autostart flag, which determines whether the storage pool will automatically start upon boot of the host OS $pool->refresh([$flags]); Refresh the storage pool state. Typically this will rescan the list of storage volumes. The $flags parameter is currently unused and if omitted defaults to zero. $pool->build([$flags]); Construct the storage pool if it does not exist. As an example, for a disk based storage pool this would ensure a partition table exists. The $flags parameter allows control over the build operation and if omitted defaults to zero. $pool->delete([$flags]); Delete the storage pool. The $flags parameter allows the data to be optionally wiped during delete and if omitted defaults to zero. $info = $pool->get_info() Retrieve information about the current storage pool state. The returned hash reference has the following keys state The current status of the storage pool. See constants later. capacity The total logical size of the storage pool allocation The current physical allocation of the storage pool available The available space for creation of new volumes. This may be less than the difference between capacity & allocation if there are sizing / metadata constraints for volumes my $nnames = $pool->num_of_storage_volumes() Return the number of running volumes in this storage pool. The value can be used as the "maxnames" parameter to "list_storage_vol_names". my @volNames = $pool->list_storage_vol_names($maxnames) Return a list of all volume names in this storage pool. The names can be used with the "get_volume_by_name" method. my @nets = $pool->list_volumes() Return a list of all volumes in the storage pool. The elements in the returned list are instances of the Sys::Virt::StorageVol class. my $vol = $pool->get_volume_by_name($name) Return the volume with a name of $name. The returned object is an instance of the Sys::Virt::StorageVol class. my $vol = $pool->create_volume($xml) Create a new volume based on the XML description passed into the $xml parameter. The returned object is an instance of the Sys::Virt::StorageVol class. If the optional "clonevol" is provided, data will be copied from that source volume my $vol = $pool->clone_volume($xml, $clonevol); Create a new volume based on the XML description passed into the $xml parameter. The returned object is an instance of the Sys::Virt::StorageVol class. The new volume will be populated with data from the specified clone source volume. CONSTANTS
The following sets of constants may be useful in dealing with some of the methods in this package POOL STATES The following constants are useful for interpreting the "state" key value in the hash returned by "get_info" Sys::Virt::StoragePool::STATE_INACTIVE The storage pool is not currently active Sys::Virt::StoragePool::STATE_BUILDING The storage pool is still being constructed and is not ready for use yet. Sys::Virt::StoragePool::STATE_RUNNING The storage pool is running and can be queried for volumes Sys::Virt::StoragePool::STATE_DEGRADED The storage pool is running, but its operation is degraded due to a failure. Sys::Virt::StoragePool::STATE_INACCESSIBLE The storage pool is not currently accessible DELETION MODES Sys::Virt::StoragePool::DELETE_NORMAL Delete the pool without any attempt to scrub data Sys::Virt::StoragePool::DELETE_ZEROED Fill the allocated storage with zeros when deleting BUILD MODES Sys::Virt::StoragePool::BUILD_NEW Construct a new storage pool from constituent bits Sys::Virt::StoragePool::BUILD_RESIZE Resize an existing built storage pool preserving data where appropriate Sys::Virt::StoragePool::BUILD_REPAIR Repair an existing storage pool operating in degraded mode Sys::Virt::StoragePool::BUILD_NO_OVERWRITE Do not overwrite existing storage pool data Sys::Virt::StoragePool::BUILD_OVERWRITE Overwrite existing storage pool data AUTHORS
