Hello
I have a simple question.
Can I update libvirt RPM while KVM guest OS on RHEL5 is running.
I am still searching for this answer.
As far as I have seen on FAQ, restarting libvirtd may not affect the
virtual machine.
Will restarting the libvirt daemon stop my virtual machines?
NO, as of version 0.6.0 (Jan 2009). Versions older than this will kill VMs if the
libvirtd daemon is
stopped, so beware.
My case was libvirt update from 0.6.3 to 0.8.2 and then restart
libvirtd while running
the guest os.
