Hi everyone, please, don't roast me if I'm asking stupid things or fail to provide info, since I'm a freshman, using libvirt. I have two servers, both running the following versions: Compiled against library: libvirt 1.3.1 Using library: libvirt 1.3.1 Using API: QEMU 1.3.1 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.14.0 I'm trying to create a Python program, which gets a list of all defined domains for each host and give a list for domains only defined on one of these hosts. This Python script is running on a third host (my workstation), using these versions: Python: 3.5.1 libvirt-python: 1.3.1 When I'm running virsh on my workstation (version 1.3.1), like this: virsh -c "qemu+ssh://root@host1/system?keyfile=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa_libvirt" --readonly list --all Then a domain named "winxp_ausgeschaltet" is within that list: Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- ... - winxp_ausgeschaltet shut off When I do the same for the second host, it is also in that list: Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- ... 7 winxp_ausgeschaltet running When I do the following in Python, this domain is listed for the first host (where it's state is "shut off"), but not for the second one: import libvirt import sys class kvmhost: def __init__(self, host, keyfile): self.conn = self.connect_kvm(host, keyfile) self.doms = sorted(self.get_doms()) def connect_kvm(self, host, keyfile): try: conn = libvirt.openReadOnly('qemu+ssh://root@' + host + '/system?keyfile=' + keyfile) except libvirt.libvirtError as lve: print('Error: ' + str(lve)) sys.exit(1) return conn def get_doms(self): try: alldoms = self.conn.listDefinedDomains() except libvirt.libvirtError as lve: print('Error: ' + str(lve)) self.conn.close() sys.exit(1) return alldoms host1 = kvmhost('host1', '/path/to/ssh_keyfile') host2 = kvmhost('host2', '/path/to/ssh_keyfile') print(host1.doms) print(host2.doms) What am I doing wrong here or: is there a missbehavior in libvirt or the python module? Using listAllDomains instead of listDefinedDomains gives: libvirt: Remote Driver error : unknown procedure: 273 What is the difference between listAllDomains and listDefinedDomains at all? Thanks for your help. Marc
