[Libvir] update after changing XML
Hi, I changed some of the XML for a qemu virtual machine. The original file was generated by virt-manager, but I wanted to use bridged networking as described in the documentation on the libvirt website. Is there something I need to for my xml changes to show up in the virtual machine? Right now my VM will not start because it's looking for it's old network configuration. -Max This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may be proprietary and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Rather than editing XML files directly, I recommend using 'virsh define' to load a new copy into libvirt. This ensures its visible immediately. If you do edit it directly, then you need to send SIGHUP to the libvirt daemon - 'service libvirtd reload' will do this Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|

Did you do 'virsh define file.xml' to actually update libvirt's idea about what the domain XML is?
