RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 8 Osier Yang 2011-05-25 12:47:07 UTC 
It's still not supported in upstream.
Comment 10 Nan Zhang 2011-11-29 06:05:33 UTC 
Test with libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6.x86_64, doesn't find this two methods 'virDomainMemoryPeek' and 'virDomainBlockPeek'.

# nm -a -D /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirtmod.so | grep Peek

# nm -a -D /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirtmod_qemu.so | grep Peek

    python: Expose blockPeek and memoryPeek in Python binding
    
    A simple example to show how to use it:
    
    \#! /usr/bin/python
    
    import os
    import sys
    import libvirt
    
    disk = "/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img"
    
    conn = libvirt.open(None)
    dom = conn.lookupByName('test')
    
    mem_contents = dom.memoryPeek(0, 32, libvirt.VIR_MEMORY_VIRTUAL);
    sys.stdout.write(mem_contents)
    
    % python test.py | hexdump
    0000000 1660 0209 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

for blockPeek:

# nm -a -D /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirtmod.so | grep BlockPeek
                 U virDomainBlockPeek

>>> dom.blockPeek('hda', 0, 10, 0)

>>> dom.blockPeek('hda', 10, 10, 0)
