Sys::Virt::NodeDevice

DESCRIPTION

The "Sys::Virt::NodeDevice" 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 $name = $dev->get_name(): Returns a string with a locally unique name of the device
my $parentname = $dev->get_parent(): Returns a string with a locally unique name of the parent of the device, or undef if there is no parent
my $xml = $dev->get_xml_description(): Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the storage dev's configuration
$dev->reattach(): Rebind the node device to the host OS device drivers.
$dev->dettach(): Unbind the node device from the host OS device driver
$dev->reset(): Reset the node device. The device must be unbound from the host OS drivers for this to work
$dev->destroy(): Destroy the virtual device releasing any OS resources associated with it.
my @caps = $dev->list_capabilities(): Return a list of all capabilities in the device.
