Hi what is the libvirt API call to start an inactive storage pool created
using the python binding storagePoolDefineXML() ?
There seems to be a virsh command which is pool-start <pool-name>, but I
am not sure what would be the call to start it. Or is there a way to start
the pool while it is being defined itself?
The autostart will be effective only when libvirtd service is restarted?
Thank you

I figured out that poolObject.create(0) can start the storage pool. Is
there a way to automatically create the folder, if the folder does not
exist while defining a pool?
for example, if i do pool-define myPool.xml, how can I make it create the
folder if the target path does not exist? Is it necessary that the path
specified in the xml should exist already?
Regards

There is API for build the pool. The C level API is virStoragePoolBuild.
I.e. For a persistent pool, there are generally 3 steps to get a new
pool started.
1) define
2) build
3) start
The Python API: virStoragePool.build
For a non-persistent pool, you might want to use
virStoragePoolCreateXML, which will create the pool as trasicient,
and start it. Yeah, no build process.
I'm thinking it's desired to introduce a flag for virStoragePoolCreate
and virStoragePoolCreateXML, to allow to build the pool meanwhile.
e.g. "--build" for command "virsh pool-start".
