So I was thinking a little about lifecycle support for passive domains in libvirt and wanted to clarify the intended semantics of the two methods: virConnectListDomains virConnectListDefinedDomains Am I correct in thinking that virConnectListDefinedDomains will list a domain if-and-only-if its state == 'shutoff', and that virConnectListDomains will list a domain if-and-only-if its state != 'shutoff' ie, when I start a defined domain with 'virDomainCreate', it will be removed from the 'ListDefinedDomains' set and added to the 'ListDomains' set. Likewise when shutting down it'll move back the other way. Or will the virConnectListDefinedDomains call always list a domain with a config file, even if it is running ? I realize this is a little hypothetical since XenD doesn't have lifecycle management yet, but it matters to the test backend, and any potential QEMU / UML backend, and the future XenD XML-RPC backend Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
