使用Libvirt管理虚拟化平台
Libvirt-虚拟化管理中间件

Libvirt是什么

它是为了统一化操作而设计的“中间件”。 每种虚拟化hypervisor产品都有自己的管理命令,方法各不相同。 libvirt配置在hypervisor上层,可以让管理kvm、xen、esx、qemu等虚拟化hypervisor的操作一致化。

libvirt的功能

libvirt支持的hypervisor drivers

libvirt四件套

下面是libvirt相关的四件套。

编译安装libvirt

使用libvirt来进行虚拟化平台管理,并不需要对hypervisor做什么修改。我们在远程的一台linux上安装libvirt就可以了,然后用这台机器去管理各个hypervisor。

> #sudo apt-get install gcc make pkg-config libxml2-dev libgnutls-dev libdevmapper-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev python-dev libpciaccess-dev libxen-dev libnl-dev libyajl-dev uuid-dev
> tar -xzf libvirt-1.X.X.tar.gz
> /configure --help
> ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-esx=yes --with-xen=yes  --with-lxc
# 编译的时候要选择自己要使用的hypervisor driver
> sudo make
> sudo make install
> virsh --version
> libvirtd --version
> sudo initctl start libvirt-bin

hypervisor管理

首先我要用连接我要管理的一个hypervisor,比如一台ESX host。

virsh -c "esx://root@10.117.172.73/?no_verify=1"

可以实现操作如下:
