Bug 510427

yup problem from python/generator.py creating in the 

class virConnect:
[...]
    def createXML(self, xmlDesc, flags):
        """Create a new device on the VM host machine, for example,
           virtual HBAs created using vport_create. """
        ret = libvirtmod.virNodeDeviceCreateXML(self._o, xmlDesc, flags)
        if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virNodeDeviceCreateXML() failed', conn=self)
        __tmp = virNodeDevice(self, _obj=ret)
        return __tmp

    def createXML(self, xmlDesc, flags):
        """Launch a new guest domain, based on an XML description
          similar to the one returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc() This
          function may requires privileged access to the hypervisor.
          The domain is not persistent, so its definition will
          disappear when it is destroyed, or if the host is restarted
           (see virDomainDefineXML() to define persistent domains). """
        ret = libvirtmod.virDomainCreateXML(self._o, xmlDesc, flags)
        if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self)
        __tmp = virDomain(self,_obj=ret)
        return __tmp

  two methods with the same name for different libvirt entry points.

After applying the fix from upstream for the nameFixup() function in
generator.py, the virNodeDeviceCreateXML entry point is now mapped to
the following method:

    def nodeDeviceCreateXML(self, xmlDesc, flags):
        """Create a new device on the VM host machine, for example,
           virtual HBAs created using vport_create. """
        ret = libvirtmod.virNodeDeviceCreateXML(self._o, xmlDesc, flags)
        if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virNodeDeviceCreateXML() failed', conn=self)
        __tmp = virNodeDevice(self, _obj=ret)
        return __tmp

Created attachment 369911 [details]
patch for python generator and generated output

This is directly backported from upstream current code,

Daniel

libvirt-0.6.3-25.el5 has been built in dist-5E-qu-candidate with the fix,

This bug has been verified with libvirt 0.6.3-25.el5 on RHEL-5.4. Already
fixed, set status to VERIFIED.

This bug has been verified with libvirt 0.6.3-25.el5 on RHEL-5.5.Already
fixed, set status to VERIFIED. 

The same name "createXML" error has been fixed,but I met another error
when creating a node device from xml:
"libvir: Node Device error : this function is not supported by the hypervisor: Device is not a fibre channel HBA"

I think that it should be another bug:
