[libvirt] virStorageVolLookupByPath fails with "libvir: Storage error : invalid storage volume pointer in no storage vol with matching path"

Hello, I have a running KVM virtual guest "demo1" with a defined disk at path /guests/mydisk.img. But when I run conn = virConnectOpenReadOnly(NULL); path = "/guests/mydisk.img"; virStorageVolLookupByPath(conn,path); I got the error " ibvir: Storage error : invalid storage volume pointer in no storage vol with matching path " what am I missing ? Thanks, Francesco

Solved by myself -> I forget to define a storage pool ! Thanks a lot anyway ! On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 6:31 PM, Francesco Latino < francesco.latino@gmail.com> wrote:

Glad you figured it out [snip]
conn = virConnectOpenReadOnly(NULL); path = "/guests/mydisk.img"; virStorageVolLookupByPath(conn,path);
I got the error " ibvir: Storage error : invalid storage volume pointer in no storage vol with matching path "
Sorry about this mis-leading error message. We're working to improve the error reporting, and this is on the todo list Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
