Hello dear Python-community,
i'm pretty new to Python. I made a seminar two weeks ago and like to write now a script because if i don't i will have forgotten everything in a few weeks.
If this is the wrong place to ask my question please tell me where is the appropriate one.
I'm a Sysadmin, not a software developer.
We are running a two-node High Availibility cluster on SLES 12 SP4 with virtual machines on it.
I wrote a shellscript to create consistent images of the virtual machines each night, using the bash and virsh (the libvirt shell).
Script is running fairly fine, but i need to extend it.
I'm thinking of rewriting it in python, i think that would be a good practise.
Inside the script i'm using things like "virsh start, virsh shutdown, virsh snaphot-list, virsh snapshot, virsh snapshot-delete, virsh domblklist, virsh blockcommit, virsh list, virsh define ..."
Can i use all the possibilities i have in virsh in that libvirt-package ?
I'm also creating logfiles, deleting files, sending e-Mails, redirecting stdout and stderr.
This shouldn't be a problem in Python ?
Thanks.
Bernd
