I'm working on RHEL5.1 (libvirt-0.2.3-9.el5). I would like to know if it is possible, using libvirt, to create a Xen PVM domU that has no disks? And if this is possible how to code this ( a simple example is ok).
Did you try taking the XML, either from another running domain or from the examples we give[1], and stripping out all the <disk> sections? I looked at the code and it ought to work -- if it doesn't, then it's probably a bug.
(From IRC), Tim says it works for Xen ... and I just verified that qemu doesn't like it.
Yep, QEMU itself wants at least one disk otherwise it complains bitterly. One option is '-hda /dev/null' - libvirt should probably add this itself if no disks are set in the XML.
