You'll want to throw away the libvirtError from the lookupByName call only: if destroy or undefine fail, the install should fail, raising the exception and giving a nicer message such as "Couldn't destroy/undefine existing vm 'vmname': %s" str(e)" Also, could you combine the two patches into one? It will just make reviewing easier :) Thanks, Cole _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
