I guess I miss another thing. I thought the domain xml config file was stored in etc/libvirt/qemu/ directory.
libvirt manages the config files. To edit them, DON'T edit them directly, use 'virsh edit'.
Rich.
Correction
I agree with you. But I wanna know where libvirt stores all the domains' config files. Image that if I uninstalled libvirt and reinstalled it, I wish I could manipulate all the previous domains.
All the persistent configs are under /etc/libvirt
When a guest is running, there is a second config stored in /var/run/libvirt
I thought so. But I removed config file uder working/etc/libvirt and It sill worked.
Libvirtd loads all the configs under /etc/libvirt into memory, so if you delete them, libvirtd will still know about them until you restart it.
By the way, I installed my libvirt under directory working. Of course I searched the whole system and found no other config files.
If you are runing libvirtd as non-root then it uses $HOME/.libvirt If you built a custom libvirtd from source and run it as root, then it'll use $sysconfdir/libvirt (where $sysconfdir is the --sysconfdir value passed to the configure script) Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
