Hello, hope all are well.
Am I missing something?
If I add a cdrom and change boot order in a running vm with virsh edit, I have
to shutdown the vm and restart to see the change in boot order. I can not just
restart the vm via reboot inside the vm or virsh reboot vm. I don't see
anything under /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/saved where I might expect conflict if I
was battling against a saved configuration. If obvious, DUH, apologies and
virtually bonk me on the head.
Note: This is actually okay. Just don't want to miss on something that would
allow me to just cycle the vm after make changes.

Thank you sir! and apologies for the legalese attachment! You mentioned before when I sought answers, and I was literally just telling a colleague I missed your statement about it. I'm so used to it, i forget about it. This will be the last response with that additional payload. I will find another way to query/interact this list Thanks very much again ________________________________________ From: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2015 2:49 PM To: Robb Walker; libvirt-users@redhat.com Subject: Re: [libvirt-users] libvirt/virsh change boot order On 02/11/2015 01:34 PM, Robb Walker wrote:> Hello, hope all are well. > > > Am I missing something? > > If I add a cdrom and change boot order in a running vm with virsh edit, I have to shutdown the vm and restart to see the change in boot order.
