Ah I see, this is a slightly different problem. If this is RHEV-H / ovirt-node then that's a bug in ovirt-node since it is supposed to have a working libguestfs. Can you paste the full, unedited output of: libguestfs-test-tool on the hypervisor. > And it is still not clear for me, how should I implement interaction between > the RHEV-M API, > which tells me what logical volume (disk image) belongs to the every VM, and > the hypervisor's, to which > all the logical volume (disk images) are mapped. > > So can I access the VM's disk images directly from the RHEV Manager in case > if manager, hypervisor and storage are different hosts? I'm not sure about this, but I guess the hooks that Itamar pointed to before should work.
