Dear all,
You may find of interest the implementation of the libvirt
virtualization API on top of OpenNebula. This implementation of the libvirt
API provides an abstraction of a whole cluster of resources. In this way, you
can use any libvirt tool (e.g. virsh, virt-manager) and libvirt XML domain
descriptions with OpenNebula at a distributed level.
For example, you may create a new domain with 'virsh create', then OpenNebula
will look for a suitable resource, transfer the VM images and boot your VM
using any of the supported hypervisors. The distributed management is
completely transparent to the libvirt application. This is, a whole cluster
can be managed as any other libvirt node.

Cheers
