Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint(3pm)           User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint - Represent & manage a libvirt guest domain
       checkpoint

DESCRIPTION
       The "Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint" module represents a guest domain
       checkpoint managed by the virtual machine monitor.

METHODS
       my $str = $domchkp->get_name()
           Return the name of the checkpoint

       my $xml = $domchkp->get_xml_description($flags)
           Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the
           domain checkpoints' configuration. The $flags parameter accepts the
           following constants

           Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::XML_SECURE
               Include security sensitive information in the XML dump, such as
               passwords.

           Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::XML_SIZE
               Include dynamic per-<disk> size information

           Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::XML_NO_DOMAIN
               Suppress <domain> sub-element

       $domchkp->delete($flags)
           Deletes this checkpoint object & its data. The optional $flags
           parameter controls what should be deleted via the
           "Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::DELETE_*" constants.

       $parentchkp = $domchkp->get_parent();
           Return the parent of the checkpoint, if any

       my @checkpoints = $domchkp->list_all_children($flags)
           Return a list of all domain checkpoints that are children of this
           checkpoint. The elements in the returned list are instances of the
           Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint class. The $flags parameter can be used
           to filter the list of return domain checkpoints.

CONSTANTS
   CHECKPOINT CREATION
       The following constants are useful when creating checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::CREATE_REDEFINE
           Replace/set the metadata with the checkpoint

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::CREATE_QUIESCE
           Quiesce the guest disks while taking the checkpoint

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::CREATE_REDEFINE_VALIDATE
           Validate disk data state

   CHECKPOINT DELETION
       The following constants are useful when deleting checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::DELETE_CHILDREN
           Recursively delete any child checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::DELETE_CHILDREN_ONLY
           Only delete the child checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::DELETE_METADATA_ONLY
           Only delete the checkpoint metadata

   CHECKPOINT LIST
       The following constants are useful when listing checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_ROOTS
           Only list checkpoints which are root nodes in the tree

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_DESCENDANTS
           Only list checkpoints which are descendants of the current
           checkpoint

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_LEAVES
           Only list leaf nodes in the checkpoint tree

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_NO_LEAVES
           Only list non-leaf nodes in the checkpoint tree

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_TOPOLOGICAL
           Sort list in topological order w.r.t. to parent/child
           relationships.
