Hi, I 'm playing with save/restore domains. It's working, but if I restart libvirtd after 'save domain file' and then try to restore it I get:
error: Failed to restore domain from /tmp/domain.out error: operation failed: domain 'domainname' is already defined with uuid 17c77406-b6e3-621a-1fae-420affce8f48
If I move domainname.xml out of libvirt config. directory it works, but I think this should not be necessary.
No, that's definitely not necessary, so something is wrong. I just tried the same thing on the head of libvirt git, and it worked just fine:
# ./daemon/libvirtd --verbose --listen # ./tools/virsh save <guest> /tmp/foo.save # <kill libvirtd> # ./daemon/libvirtd --verbose --listen # ./tools/virsh restore /tmp/foo.save
What version of libvirt are you using? What are the exact steps you are taking to try this out?
