That looks useful. On several Ubuntu systems, with Ubuntu libvirt 0.8.8 and 0.8.3 packages installed, there's no libvirt/hooks/ directory at all. Is this a directory that can simply be created and used under libvirt, or does using this feature on Ubuntu require custom installation? Thanks, Whit

Is there a virt-viewer for Windows? On Jun 13, 2011, at 10:21 AM, Michal Privoznik wrote:

Is there a method of tweaking the boot sequence of a KVM instance so that you can delay the process for X number of seconds? I don't have enough time between starting the KVM and connecting via VNC.

You might consider using virt-viewer. It simply waits for domain to boot, if it is down.

Your other option is to create hook script: http://libvirt.org/hooks.html and put conditional sleep there, because libvirt just before running a domain tries to execute qemu with some arguments (e.g. -help) to qeury its capabilities. And you don't want your hook script to delay that.

So you need something like this:

if [ $2 == "start" ]; then sleep 5 fi

...

Thanks
