[libvirt-users] Using virsh to load scripts for the guest machine
Right on the top of http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Virtualization/chap-Virtualization-Managing_guests_with_virsh.html, it seems to imply you can load/send scripts to the vm guest using virsh. Is that possible? How and what are the limitations? Can you query the vm guest?

You may be thinking more about the capabilities of what libguestfs provides, for modifying disk images. In general, virsh itself controls how to start a guest, but not the additional layers of communication (such as virtio, qemu-ga, or the libguestfs appliance app) required for a host to command a guest to do something from within the guest. -- Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
