Hi everyone!

I am using QEMU/KVM, using Live Migrations like this: virsh migrate --live ${name} qemu+ssh://${DESTINATION}/system My question, running this command makes it hang in the foreground. Is there a way for this to return immediately, so I can just poll for the migration status? Also, is there a way to _cancel_ a migration? I see the --timeout option, however if a given timeout is reached I would

Hi, I had a 'domain' called APP03. I was performing auto snapshots each night using /usr/bin/virsh snapshot-create APP03 . I then wanted the domain to be called APP01 for clarity's sake, so I did virsh dumpxml APP03 > APP03.xml, edited the name to APP01 and changed the ID. I then did virsh define APP03.xml to get APP01. I have now realised that the qcow2 images are huge (1.1TB

Hi, If i take a snapshot of a qcow2 image backed domain via virsh snapshot-create domainID and I shutdown the machine (and probably destroy the domain if virsh list still shows it running), and then undeinfed the domain will that snapshot still exist and be active when I define and start the domain back up? --- Thanks, Yitao(依涛 姜) jiangyt.github.io

Hi all, I have a kvm virtual machine running (qemu version 2.0), and I had took several external snapshots of the disk( using "virsh snapshot-create-as"). Now, the existed disk files relationship look like: base <- snap1 <-snap2 <- current using disk file. Now I want to remove snap1 and snap2, and let current disk using the base image file as back file directly. Unfortunately,

Hello, I have two servers where I can push VMs from one to the other by issuing the command virsh migrate --live --persistent --copy-storage-all --verbose \ test6 qemu+ssh://kvmhost2/system on kvmhost1.
