[libvirt-users] Can not restore domain from a shared state file
by Zhang Qian
Hi,
I have two KVM host: h1 and h2, both of them mount an NFS directory as a
shared storage.
I can save (virsh save <domain> <file>) a domain in h1 to a state file in
the shared storage successfully, but failed to restore it from h2 with the
following error message:
# virsh restore testRes.dat
error: Failed to restore domain from testRes.dat
error: operation failed: failed to start VM
I can always restore it from h1, but sometimes works for h2 (wait for a
while, then "virsh restore" command may succeed in h2). I guess the state
file generated by "virsh save" command is not intact from h2 point view, may
be cause by the cache of NFS server?
Any suggestions will be really appreciated, thanks in advance!
Regards,
Qian

[libvirt-users] XML-Created domain vanishes after shutdown
by Alexander Topolanek
Hi,
im migrating existing kvm-images into libvirt domains, by creating a
domain in virsh from a xml file. The domain starts, is working fine, but
after shutdown it is lost, and I have to recreate it.
BTW, can I reset the domain count somewhere?
Any ideas?
thx and kind regards

[libvirt-users] How to eject cdrom by libvirt API
by Zhang Qian
Hi,
I want to eject cdrom by calling libvirt C API, I found there is a similar
feature in virt-manager: disconnect cdrom from the related iso file, I am
wondering how to achieve this by libvirt API.
Thanks!

[libvirt-users] Volume not found when migrating a VM
by Mathias Tausig
Hello!
I want to migrate a machine from one host to another.
But upon running
migrate drbd01 qemu+tls://192.168.20.2/system
in virsh, I get the error message
Fehler: cannot open file '/dev/masterGroup/drbd01_system': No such file
or directory
"/dev/masterGroup/drbd01_system" is the LVM based system volume of the
VM to be migrated which is of course available (the machine can be
started without any problem). I tried to execute the migrate comman both
locally and remote.
I am using libvirt 0.8.1 under SLES11.
