WARNING: In previous releases of libvirt-php, the function libvirt_list_defined_domains() was returning the wrong kind of information. It *should* have been showing all persistent domains, both active and inactive. However it was instead showing just inactive domains.
Hi justin, Is there a way to list the "defined/persistent" domains in libvirt? virConenctListDefinedDomains() doesn't behavior like that.
I'm really amazed, the behavior of "defined" in libvirt development guide seems to be equivalent to "inactive". There are two types of guest
- Persistent: This has a config file on disk. It will appear either in the ListDefinedDomains or ListDomains, depending on whether it is currently running - Transient: This has *no* config on disk. It will only appear in ListDomains and will disappear completely when it is shutdown.
Every inactive domain is thus a persistent domain. A running domain can be either transient or persistent. There is a virDomainIsPersistent() API to distinguish them.
Daniel That's what I was thinking Daniel. Thanks for clarification. I didn't know about virDomainIsPersistent() API but it could be useful.
