[libvirt-users] listing active and defined vs inactive and defined domains
i am trying to list active + defined and inactive + defined domains using
libvirt 0.9.4
i can get active domains using:
def s_activedomains(conn):
#get active domain ids
numofdomains=libvirt.virConnect.numOfDomains(conn)
activedomains=libvirt.virConnect.listDomainsID(conn)
return activedomains
i am stuck on how to get inactive domains
the example listed
here?http://libvirt.org/guide/html/Application_Development_Guide-Guest_Domains-Listing.html
under example 4.4 and example 4.5 seems to be outdated
looking at?/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py, line 2337 says that
"Note that this won't work for inactive domains which have an ID of
-1"
i think example 4.5 is wrong because if inactive domains have an id of -1, then
i can't call?virDomainLookupBy{Name,ID}?

Too late for 0.9.12, but should hit in 0.9.13... -- Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
