[libvirt] trying to 'destroy' a domain with Python bindings...

7 Jul 2008

      When I do this:

    conn.lookupByName('myDomU').destroy()

... I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 30, in ?
    print conn.lookupByName('myDomU').destroy()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 238, in destroy
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainDestroy() failed', dom=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainDestroy() failed

What am I missing here? Destroy should do the equivalent of 'Delete' on 
virt-manager, correct?

thanks!

(BTW... I'm running stock RH5.2.)
