Thanks Daniel,
I think you must at least change the UUID (/domain/uuid) and name (/domain/name) in the XML description. Very like you also need to duplicate the used disk images and update their paths (/domain/devices/disk/source/@file) accordingly, unless you really want your domians to share them.
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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel P.

1. Get the XML Desc of the source Domain using "virDomainGetXMLDesc". 2. Get the Hypervisor Object for the source Domain using "virDomainGetConnect". 3. Create a new Domain using the "virDomainCreateXML" method.
After doing this, I get the following error:
libvirt.libvirtError: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err "Error creating domain: VM name already in use by domain 4")
