It isn't as simple as just removing the check, because libvirt also
checks other things like name+uuid uniqueness for the VMs. Also you
run the risk of deadlocking libvirtd itself
Daniel
If it's only one libvirtd process is running, it will deadlock itself, but
if one starts multiple libvirtd processes with different TCP/TLS port.
and do migration between those started libvirtd. It will work I guess.
But agree this is totally not productive, as it depends on user's
configuration, can intorduce many problems if one configured is not
expected.
