Comment:

Scott M Ferguson [https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/autoqa- devel/2010-November/001287.html says] he's working on this, adding to CC.

I believe there is some inspiration to be found in the rats_install test (VM is communicating with the host) and also in the anaconda_storage test (currently in clumens branch, also VM communication with the host).

#183: Write a script and a daemon to send signals between virt machine and host --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: kparal | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Virtualization Component: core | Resolution: Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Old description:

We need to exchange some signals between virt machine and a host. For example "autotest job finished, need to revert to previous state". We need to write simple script that will send this signal for virt machine and a daemon that will receive this signal in the host machine and act accordingly.

An idea how this could work has been posted here: https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/autoqa-devel/2010-June/000642.html

This is the concept: {{{ | |1.job | .-------------------------. v | Host | .----------. | ^ | | Autotest | | |4.signal | | server |^ | | | '----------'| 3.result | .----------------. | | '-------------| Autotest | | '------------------>| client | | 2.job | | (virt machine) | | | '----------------' | '-------------------------'
