Now you can just start another monitor connection to qemu :-) Previously I've used a multiplexing script which accepts multiple monitor connections, and passes the commands to the real connection. It's not ideal because a slow command blocks any others, but it basically works. > - changing the emulator: It is normal for me to be using several qemu > binaries for testing, changing it with libvirt is just a mess. Same here, except not just for testing: I need to use different qemu binaries for production use, because newer ones don't work with some VM images that work on older ones. > - virt-viewer: I want to be able to switch consoles, period. A decent VNC client gets close to this. If the qemus advertised themselves, some VNC clients would show a list of them automatically. As it is, I use Gnome's VNC client with a bookmark for each VM, which works quite well. It even has tabs :-) > - networking: man, setting networking is a mess, libvirt just does it > for you. networking is often a mess, and what libvirt does isn't always what you want, even if it often is. I need the option to set up networking separately and have libvirt use what it's given, otherwise I cannot use it. -- Jamie -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
