Hi!
I faced with several difficulties / misunderstandings and I hope someone
could clarify me (at the moment I use 'virsh' for testing).
1) after creating network via 'virsh # net-create network.xml' i get vzbr0
bridge in down state and have to make ip up manually. Is there any way to
automatically make it up?
You can specify an IP address and a netmask like this:
http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#elementsAddress
Such bridge will be automatically set up.
2) there is a default network "Default" with enabled
'Autostart'. Is there
any way to remove this network completely?
Yes,
# virsh net-destroy defaul
3) after creating domain via 'virsh # create ovz.xml' i get a
new
container, but it doesn't work as it should do:
- at first, it has 'vzbr0' veth interface inside and its pair on a HW node
is added into default bridge vmbr0. I believed tag <source
bridge='vzbr0'/>
should point to a bridge name on a HW node, but instead it created veth
interface with such name. In openvz config file for created domain i see
this:
[root@alt-03 ~]# cat /etc/vz/conf/3005.conf | grep NETIF
NETIF="ifname=vzbr0,mac=52:54:00:35:10:6D,host_ifname=veth3005.0,host_mac=52:54:00:35:10:6D"
Short answer: it doesn't work now. Wait for nex libvirt release
(libvirt-4.6-alt2). I will try to make it as soon as possible.

4) Is there any way to specify config file for created domain like it
can
be done via 'vzctl create <ID> --oostemplate <templname> --config
<confname>'?
No
5) Is there any way to destroy domain completely like it can be done
via
'vzctl destroy <ID>'?
Yes,
# virsh destroy <domain-name>
6) Where does libvirt store info about already created domains? I
can't
create a new domain with ID 3005 after I completely destroy previous one via
'vzctl destroy 3005'.
And what does it saying?
7) Is there any way to publish domain's console on a host system so that I
can connect via telnet to HW node on some TCP/4567 and get into
domain's
console?
vzctl enter <domain ID>
8) Does libvirt use some OpenVZ bindings or simply executes vzctl and
other
stuff?
simply executes vzctl and reading/writing <veid>.conf
P.S. You can ask ALT-specific questions to me directly.
