[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add guest-get-hostname to retrieve the guests current hostname

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add guest-get-hostname to retrieve the guests current hostname

[Guido Günther]

This allows to retrieve the guest's hostname via gethostname(2).

This can be useful to identify a VM e.g. one without network.

We have an API in libvirt for that (virDomainGetHostname).

Why no impl ?  Winsock has the gethostname() API too

$ grep gethostname /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/*.h
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/winsock2.h:  WINSOCK_API_LINKAGE int WSAAPI gethostname(char *name,int namelen);

Daniel

Still, this feels like a new feature and not a bug fix, so

This was mostly due to the lack of a test system. Are there any pointers
on how to cross compile qemu-qa for Windows?

Assuming you have the Mingw64 toolchain installed, then compilation is just
a case of passing the --cross-prefix arg to configure. eg on Fedora 17 I
would do:

  ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --cross-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32-

which causes it to use  i686-w64-mingw32-gcc as the compiler

Won't make it for 1.2 because we're in hard-freeze.

You shouldn't use that macro, you can do something like this instead:

 error_set(err, "can't get hostname: %s", strerror(errno));

Michael, do you think that's fine for new error messages or do you think it's
worth it to add a "guest-agent: " prefix to all guest agent error messages?

I think that's fine. libvirt or QMP (if we integrate the qemu-ga
commands with QMP) can tack on a prefix for cases where we need to distinguish
where in the stack the error occurred, but for direct communication with
qemu-ga it's unambiguous, so might as well save the keystrokes.

That helped! I had to additionally install

mingw32-pkg-config mingw32-zlib mingw32-glib2

to cross build qemu-ga. Howver running this on a win7-pro evaluation
version I get:

.\qemu-ga

<timestamp>: critical: error opening path
<timestamp>: critical: error opening channel
<timestamp>: critical: failed to create guest agent channel
<timestamp>: critical: failed to initialize guest agent channel

qemu-ga is current git while the host is qemu-kvm 1.1.0. The virtio
serial driver is installed in the guest but running the test program
gives errors as well:

.\VIOSER-TEST
Running in non blocking mode.
Cannot find vioserial device \\?\.\{<uuid>}#vioserialport#... , error 5

Libvirt creates the guest agent channel via:

  <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/win7-32.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
      <alias name='channel0'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
  </channel>

While the same works well with linux guests. Any ideas what I'm missing
on the Windows side?
