If you'll have some solution share with us, please.
my solution was to make all my domains non-persistent. my application monitors the status of the domains and re-creates them if they disappear. this has some major advantages: 1) you can control the rate at which domains are started 2) you can restart domains if they crash 3) you can schedule tasks to perform on a domain when they're not running (in the interval between when a domain goes down and when your application brings it back up) 4) peace of mind -- you know for sure that random domains won't start up when you bring up a random machine. this helps avoid vm disk corruption. this reason will be less important once libvirt finalizes the locking infrastructure, but right now it's critical for me --igor
