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".
