[Libvirt-cim] regarding configuration to be used to create a VM

[xiaxia347work]

  libvirt-cim is used as a bridge to convert standard CIM model call to libvirt functions, here is a example to make a 
call to create a VM. You can modify it with your resource settings(such as image place,name), save it to a xml file, 
and using "wbemexec" tool to give a try, such as wbemexec create_vm.xml. Not sure if there is a lib converting 
OVF files.

主题：[Libvirt-cim] regarding configuration to be used to create a VM

Hi All,

   We are interested to create/delete/update a VM using libvirt-CIM. Could you please help us to understand what is the standard/common format to be used as input for the libvirt-cim to create a VIM? Can we use OVF to create a VM? If so, are there any libraries which can convert OVF file to libvirt understandable xml format and vice versa?

Thanks in advance for your help.


Best Regards
Raghu
