Hello: Is there a command in virsh to shutdown all domains? I can do one at a time, but that is untenable for a large number of domains.

Hi All, I was hoping to pick someone''s brain about the best way of moving a Xen disk image (which has LVM''s inside of it) to a new block-device?  I have the target DRBD device ready but unsure what''s the best & safest way to do it. I was actually tempted to mount the Xen disk image in a dom0, and make it visible via loop devices and promote that DRBD node for

Hello, my project still uses VBoxManage but I am inclined to switch to libvirt, if possible, because I like the concept. Some rather unusual commands are used by my project...

I tried running virsh list --all on the destination PM and confirmed that the VM had been migrated successfully. When I tried checking ps aux | grep vmname where vmname was the name of the VM migrated, I could see that on the source PM the thread was still active with the PID though the machine had been migrated successfully. Shouldn't the vmname not be listed at all on the source PM's side,if it has been completely migrated? Isn't 2 sec...

Hi! I need to convert a KVM virtual machine from LVM to a qcow2 image, and wonder if this is the best way to do it (*1): [$] qemu-img convert -O qcow2 /dev/vg_name/lv_name/ /var/lib/libvirt/images/image_name.qcow2 If this is the best way to do this, will this keep the information on: /dev/vg_name/lv_name/ untouched? Thanks, and please point me towards another mailing list if this it not right

When I say busybox it''s actually VMware ESX server which seems to use busybox (which I guess is the case a number of other software appliances) . Reason for wanting to install puppet is to run the cli tools to create nightly vmware snapshots.
