[PATCH] virsh: Don't clear old connection if 'connect $uri' fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



    virsh # list --all
     Id    Name                           State
    ----------------------------------------------------
     1     test                           running

    virsh # connect frob
    error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor
    error: no connection driver available for frob

    virsh # list --all
    error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
    error: no valid connection
    error: no connection driver available for frob

Seems sensible IMO to just not clear out the old connection state
until the new virConnectOpen succeeds.

There was an older discussion here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-June/msg00270.html

That seemed to go off into the weeds a bit, talking about caching old
URIs... This approach seems fine for me to address the bug report but
maybe I missed something
