[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: help: Drop 'id' from possible values for <domain> argument

At the moment, we can only rename inactive domains. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1490164 Signed-off-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet@redhat.com> --- Theoretically, we could also remove this check from qemu_driver.c as it's a useless check, given that a VM which passes the 'active' check is going to be a persistent domain: if (!vm->persistent) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID, "%s", _("cannot rename a transient domain")); goto endjob; } Also, virshCommandOptDomainBy could be used instead of virshCommandOptDomain in this case, but we might as well enable rename for active domains as well, who knows and I don't think this is worth any more attention that just a help string tweak. tools/virsh-domain.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/virsh-domain.c b/tools/virsh-domain.c index f235c66b0..84c8dccae 100644 --- a/tools/virsh-domain.c +++ b/tools/virsh-domain.c @@ -10151,7 +10151,7 @@ static const vshCmdInfo info_domrename[] = { }; static const vshCmdOptDef opts_domrename[] = { - VIRSH_COMMON_OPT_DOMAIN_FULL, + VIRSH_COMMON_OPT_DOMAIN(N_("domain name or uuid")), {.name = "new-name", .type = VSH_OT_DATA, .flags = VSH_OFLAG_REQ, -- 2.13.3

NACK. Virsh is a tool that runs client side, where as the check for non-running status is done server side. An old virsh may be talking to a new libvirtd which allows it for running guests. IOW, virsh should not make this kind of assumption about the QEMU driver impl Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|

Do-oh! I clearly don't "libvirt" anymore, you're right, thanks. Erik
