6:51 p.m.
I've recently worked with rather large number of virtual machines
and needed to rename all domains. I couldn't find better way how
to rename domain other than:
virsh dumpxml domain > domain.xml
(change domain name in domain.xml)
virsh undefine domain
virsh define domain.xml
This is rather pain to do every time I want to rename domain.
I think there should be simple way to change domain name.
So, I decided to implement new command which will basically perform
all actions listed above. When running:
virsh rename foo bar
domain foo will be renamed to bar.
Command rename is implemented using cmdUndefine options with addition
of option name-name.
I included opts_undefine into the opts_rename because I couldn't find
any other way how to call cmdUndefine directly from the cmdRename and
not getting vshCommandOpt assertion fails.
In order to hide undefine options, I added VSH_OFLAG_HIDDEN flag to
the Command Option Flags, so options flagged as hidden wont show up
in help and autocompletion results.
But it is still possible to run rename command with undefine flags:
virsh rename foo bar --managed-save
I would like to call cmdUndefine from cmdRename and not having to
use undefine options as a part of rename options but I just don't
know how to do it at this point.
