Hello--
I'm planning on upgrading the OS on my host machine by doing manual
re-installation, which will trigger an upgrade of libvirt from 1.1.3 to
6.1.0. Hardware, storage volumes & paths, etc., will be the same after
upgrade.
I was going to redefine & start everything from .xml files, starting
with the network
virsh net-define <network XML>
virsh net-autostart <network>
virsh net-start <network>
and following with all the guests
virsh define <domain XML>
virsh autostart <domain>
virsh start <domain>
I have the following questions:
1. Do I need to generate XML dumps manually, or is it ok to use the
ones from host's /etc/libvirt?
2. Do I need to define & start storage pools & volumes explicitly, or
will they be picked up from domain definitions?
3. Anything else I should worry about or prepare ahead?
