Your other option is to create hook script: http://libvirt.org/hooks.html and put conditional sleep there, because libvirt just before running a domain tries to execute qemu with some arguments (e.g. -help) to qeury its capabilities. And you don't want your hook script to delay that. So you need something like this: if [ $2 == "start" ]; then sleep 5 fi > Thanks > > Jeff > > _______________________________________________ > libvirt-users mailing list > libvirt-users(a)redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users Michal
