Hi, guys
I know there is a command "virt-clone", but I couldn't find the equivalent API here : http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html So, is there an API to clone an existing VM or not?
The virt-clone tool is implemented by running a large number of individual libvirt APIs. There's no API that does everything in one go, because that would be an application specific use case.
In addition you can't clone a VM just using libvirt APIs: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/09/24/tip-my-procedure-for-cloning-a-fedora-... On Windows you'd probably want to run the sysprep program. This is a bug in the virt-clone tool: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524269 And for completeness: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638188 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
