The [libvirt] tag in the prefix is done automatically, you don't have to do that ;)
Got it, thanks. :)

Hi all,
I am testing the virsh commands, and I found that these two commands: * domhostname * hostname
From the manual of virsh commands: * hostname Print the hypervisor hostname. * domhostname domain Returns the hostname of a domain, if the hypervisor makes it available
It seems that both of them want to get the host name. What's the difference between them?
Basically it's what's written. "virsh hostname" will give you the hostname of the hypervisor (host), but "virsh domhostname <domain>" is trying to get the hostname of the specified domain (guest).
Oh, domhostname is the guest's name. Am I right?
domhostname is the guest's hostname, however...
I saw virsh also has such a command to get guest's name: $virsh domname domain-id-or-uuid
...this is the name of the domain (basically this function converts ID or UUID of the domain to its name).
From the source code, domhostname only is supported for openvz on 0.10.1. Will this be only for openvz in the future?
I don't know about anyone trying to work on this, but it doesn't mean it won't change. It's possible to implement it for some other hypervisors as well, but nobody had the need to, I guess.
I see, thanks a lot for your reply!
Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance. -:)
