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.

More information and download instructions can be found at:

Cheers

Ruben
