Hi, I am a libvirt user , there is a requirement about libvirt : I need a virsh cmd like "#virsh *create-as* --disk --net " to create a very sample guest I have not xml file and I think it's a little hard for me to create a NEW xml for libvirt , so I need a virsh cmd like "vol-create-as " help me do that. I know there are a lot of options for creating a guest , I just need --disk and --net options , others libvirt can set a defaut value . I just want an easy way to create a guest :> Wenlong -- Best Regards!

I'm not sure how easy it would be to add guest templating directly into libvirt, nor whether it would be duplicating effort that has already been coded elsewhere. -- Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Before to use a remote tool (libvirt), you must 1/ connect on the remote machine, 2/ create a xml file and 3/ define the domain.> how easy it would be to add guest templating directly into libvirt, nor > whether it would be duplicating effort that has already been coded > elsewhere.Integrating virt-install & virt-clone would be imho very good start point. -- Sebastien Douche <sdouche at gmail.com> Twitter: @sdouche / G+: +sdouche
