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?
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".
