Subject: [libvirt-users] creation of storage volume fails
hi,
i am getting this error below when i try to create a storage volume:
libvirt.virStoragePool.CreateXML(storagepoolobject,xmldesc,0)
AttributeError: class virStoragePool has no attribute 'CreateXML'
my code is:
xmldesc="xml description of storage volume which i got from sudo virsh
vol-dumpxml"
#get a storage pool object to use in creating a volume
storagepoolobject=libvirt.virConnect.storagePoolLookupByName(conn,'poolname')
#now try to create the volume using the above storage pool object
libvirt.virStoragePool.CreateXML(storagepoolobject,xmldesc,0)
from python:
-bash-4.1$ python
>> import libvirt
>> dir(libvirt.virStoragePool)
['UUID',
'UUIDString', 'XMLDesc', '__del__', '__doc__',
'__init__', '__module__', 'autostart', 'build',
'connect', 'create', 'createXML', 'createXMLFrom',
'delete', 'destroy', 'info', 'isActive',
'isPersistent', 'listVolumes', 'name', 'numOfVolumes',
'refresh', 'setAutostart', 'storageVolLookupByName',
'undefine']
>> help(libvirt.virStoragePool.createXML)
