[libvirt-users] free memory on hypervisor

[John Wayne]

i am trying to get the free memory on a hypervisor using libvert, with the python api bindings
as per http://libvirt.org/python.html, it should be pretty easy, however the below is failing:

#conn is a connection object
freemem=libvirt.virNode.getFreeMemory(conn)

although this works fine:

software=libvirt.virConnect.getType(conn)
if software ==  'QEMU':
logging.debug('hypervisor is type QEMU')

There are 2 wrongs in here, the first, libvirt module hasn't 'virNode'
class, it should be 'virNodeDevice';
the second, 'virNodeDevice' class hasn't 'getFreeMemory' method, which
belongs to 'virConnect' class,

import libvirt
conn = libvirt.open(None)
conn.getFreeMemory()

or

libvirt.virConnect.getFreeMemory(conn)

dir(libvirt)
dir(libvirt. virConnect)

software=libvirt.virConnect.getType(conn)
logging.debug('hypervisor is type QEMU')
