Hi Mathias, thank you very much - which part of the doku did i miss so i didn't know about the web-access to the vmx files?
virsh (and libvirt) don't expose the .vmx files, so there is no way to access them directly trough libvirt. You could get the domain XML config and convert it to .vmx format using domxml-to-native, but that doesn't give you the original .vmx file.
which command gives me the domain xml? dumpxml gives me an error message (expecting an assignment) - the other xml command need the vmx file i guess ... btw: do you think libvirt is an option for backup tasks around esxi virtual machines? or do you know another suitable tool? regards, frank -- GRATIS: Spider-Man 1-3 sowie 300 weitere Videos!
