Re: [Libvir] Next features and target for development

Yes, that is an intesting thing to look at. The next python-virtinst release will have support for cloning VMs - this just does a 'deep' copy of all the disks & creates a new VM config for the copy. It would be interesting to be able to clone to a different HV target, as well as being able to simply 'move' a disk to a different HV target without actually copying it.

As for the cloning of the next release, only "deep copy" does in virtinst (--preserve-data, but it is). The StorageAPI is prepared, so can call those and enhance the cloning I think. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-April/msg00159.html
