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.
