All - I just published a new blog that provides a solution for running commands on multiple domains. This will enable you to perform the same or different commands on multiple domains using automation. The solution uses Python and its libvirt module. The blog is located at http://www.holmes4.com/wda/blogs/index.html. I hope to present more of these examples of how to use the libvirt

This may be user error, I am new to libvirt. I am using libvirt 5.0.0. I have created a VM (win10) in the system URI using virt-manager. I stopped the VM to edit it. I set my LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" and am able to read the domain configuration with `EDITOR=nano virsh edit win10`. When I save (ctrl+o) and exit (ctrl+x) I see the message "Domain win10 XML configuration

Hi. Thanks to help of this mailing list (especially Jim Fehlig), I have finished setup of libvirt. However, there is something weird. It is that I installed libvirt on 5 servers but the default connection of one of them is 'qemu:///' even if those of the others are all 'xen:///'. I searched how to change it but, I only found a bypass adding "

Okay, just installed libvirt from today's git on two Ubuntu systems. The first one went fine (except for continuation of the problem that virsh and virt-manager cannot connect to 0.8.3 systems that's been there in the 0.9.x libvirts) ... but on the second, after install, "virsh list --all" presents nothing. And: # virsh define tu1004.xml error: Failed to define domain from

This is frustrating: $ export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu+ssh://remotehost/session $ virsh list error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: no valid connection error: Operation not supported: Connecting to session instance without socket path is not supported by the ssh connection driver Has there been any thought given to making this easier? It seems that having a simple helper

Hi all, I'm using libvirt with qemu-kvm and virtualbox on the same system. Everything is working, but I want to change the default uri fo virsh. At the moment, if i run: # virsh uri vbox:///system and because of this, if I try to list my vm(s) in this way: # virsh list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------- the output is empty. I need always to pass the

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'd like to set up my first lxc container using libvirt. I'd like to start using the simplest configuration and next add things I need. So I've got xml as below: <domain type='lxc'> <name>vm1</name> <memory>32768</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/init</init> </os>

Warning - I'm fairly new to libvirt, lxc and systemd so there is a good chance I'm doing something terribly wrong here. However, instead of continuing to struggle, I figured I would mail the list for some advice. What I'm trying to accomplish is a libvirt-lxc, systemd-based container running on my system (Fedora 19). I've read that sharing the underlying OS filesystem with

Pass -q to virsh if virt-v2v was run with -q, to reduce its output in quiet mode. Unfortunately this does not currently work in virsh as it should, see RHBZ#1358179, so only after that bug is fixed this change can actually take effect. --- v2v/output_libvirt.ml | 20 ++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/output_libvirt.ml b/v2v/output_libvirt.ml

Hi all, How can I stop/disable a nic in a virtual guest using a virsh command?? I am searching the same effect like if I unplug network cable ... Is it possible?? I have tried with "detach-interface" command without luck. I don't want to remove the nic from guest configuration, only to stop the nic ... Thanks. P.D: Host is CentOS 6.6 x86_64 fully patched.
