Re: [libvirt] libvirt and qemu

If so, you _might_ be able to teach libvirt about those vms by using 'virsh qemu-attach $pid', but it depends on the vm having been created with a proper monitor connection. In general, libvirt is better suited to managing vms created via libvirt interfaces (virt-manager is only one of many programs that uses libvirt interfaces for creating a vm) than it is for managing random vms created via direct command-line invocation of qemu. The 'virsh domxml-from-native' command might help you in creating a libvirt XML representation that matches what you are currently passing directly to qemu, although that area of code is not the best-maintained at the moment. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
