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)
