libvirt users - May 2011 - (no subject)

Hello,

I am using python bindings of libvirt. When I use the function
listDomainsID( ) it successfully returns me the list of the ids of my
current virtual machines, but when I call function listDefinedDomains( ) it
returns me an empty list.

Is this some kind of bug because as per my understanding listDefinedDomains
should return a superset of vm's as returned by listDefinedDomains().

I am using 0.8.8 version of the libvirt.

Thanks
Abhishek

That's correct. In your case all known VMs are running.

listDefinedDomains doesn't return a superset, it just returns the list
of known but non-running VMs, it doesn't return all known VMs. To get
the list of all known VMs you need to combine the lists returned by
listDomainsID and listDefinedDomains.
