hi, i am a bit confused on how to start an inactive domain using the python bindings, any help would be appreciated. (inactive as in the domain was created with?virConnect.defineXML sometime in the past) looks like i have to use virDomain.create, however virDomain.create needs a defined domain xmldesc as a parameter and i am not sure on how to get that i guess if?virConnect.create was

Hi all, I have the following issue, and I hope someone know a way to handle it. I need to grammatically need to create/install a guest OS using the libvirt API. Currently what I do: 1. create a xml with the vm configuration (this will include a path to the iso image) 2. connection.defineXML(<my_config>) 3. vm = connection.lookupByName(<domain_name>) 4. vm.create() This will

Hi all, I am using libvirt to manage VM on my system; after creating a VM (default no NICs are present in the configuration) you can add any number of interfaces to it (as long as they exist on the host). To do that, I edit the configuration xlm: vmXml = self.domain.XMLDesc() root = ET.fromstring(vmXml) devices = root.find('./devices') intf =

I am trying to migrate a VMware guest to KVM. I have the .vmdk file which I convert to qcow2 format using qemu-img convert. The next step is to import the new img file. If I use virt-install --import <guest config options> it all works fine. But when I try the same think using the libvirt API I get the "no boot disk found" message when starting the vm. When importing the VM

hi, when creating a domain using libvirt python api, how would i tell libvirt to use a unique serial port number for domains? in the?libvirt.virConnect.defineXML(conn,domainxml) call when i create the domainxml object, i need to ensure that the part below has a unique # for target port <serial type='pty'> ? <target port='0'/> </serial> <console

I use the code below: import libvirt auth = [[libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME,libvirt.VIR_CRED_NOECHOPROMPT],'root',None] conn = libvirt.openAuth("qemu:///system",auth,0) with open("/root/cflinux.xml") as f: xml=f.read() domain = conn.defineXML(xml) domain.createWithFlags(0) and report the error: libvir: Security Labeling error : internal error cannot load AppArmor

Hi I have just started to investigate the possibilities of resizing memory for my kvm virtual machines on the fly. It works just fine with virsh setmem and that's great. Now, what I'm wondering about is the <memory> directive in the xml domain definition. Why would I not just set that to the size of available RAM in the host machine? Am I missing some nuance or finesse to the

I am trying to change a domain configuration from a python script. More specific, I want to edit the VNC settings. You can't do this using the libvirt API so you have to edit the domain configuration: Fo exmple, to disable VNC for a domain 'test1': vmXml = vm.XMLDesc(0) root = ET.fromstring(vmXml) devices = root.find('./devices') graphics = devices.find('graphics')

Hello, I've been trying to boot a VM with the rootfs being a 9P share from the host. The VM OS is centos 7. The OS boots but no services can work and it appears that the authentication system is broken. Now the funny thing is that booting the same OS on the same 9P share manually with Qemu works as expected with a fully functionnal OS... So I'm wondering what could libvirt do that render

Hi all. I was using libvirt under Debian squeeze (I guess it was 0.8.3-5+squeeze4 or something similar). I was able to clone machines with below command: sudo virt-clone --connect=qemu:///system -o template -n template_clone -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/template_clone.qcow2 After that I was able to start the VM and connect to the console: sudo virsh console template_clone I recently Installed
