I will definately try this out. As for changing the UUID, I think the new
value has to be unique in terms of all other Domains present. I am right??
Better yet use the 'virt-clone' command line tool, or
virt-manager's clone
capability
As for using 'virt-clone', is there a way to implement this using python
bindings for libvirt??
I want to provide the functionality in a python script.
I thought of doing this by directly executing the command line 'virt-clone'
command from my python script and check wheather it executes successfully or
not. We can do this by the 'os.system' function in python.
Thanks and Regards
Sagar Barve
