[libvirt] trying to 'destroy' a domain with Python bindings...
When I do this: conn.lookupByName('myDomU').destroy() ... I get this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 30, in ? print conn.lookupByName('myDomU').destroy() File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 238, in destroy if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainDestroy() failed', dom=self) libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainDestroy() failed What am I missing here? Destroy should do the equivalent of 'Delete' on virt-manager, correct? thanks! (BTW... I'm running stock RH5.2.)

No Destroy means kill a running domain, it's probably not running, hence the error. Delete means undefining a domain see http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainUndefine domain.undefine() """undefine a domain but does not stop it if it is running """ I think it's available in RHEL 5 update 2.
