I worte a small patch and tried with following XML setting. ### Patch ### --- a/src/openvz_driver.c +++ b/src/openvz_driver.c @@ -130,9 +130,6 @@ ADD_ARG_LIT(VZCTL); ADD_ARG_LIT("--quiet"); ADD_ARG_LIT("create"); - ADD_ARG_LIT(vmdef->id); - - ADD_ARG_LIT("--name"); ADD_ARG_LIT(vmdef->name); ### XML ### <domain id='100'> <name>abc</name> I found the type of id was identified as number( obj->type == XPATH_NUMBER ) in virXPathLongBase, but it is clearly string before converted. I think correct path is to go in the first if context( obj->type == XPATH_STRING ) and run strtol.

Then I tried with following XML. ### XML ### <domain id=100> <name>abc</name> I got following error. AttValue: " or ' expected

I'm not sure from which function should return this result.
