Hi there! Since our cloud system that is currently under development, might need it, I've tested libvirt domain hooks but unfortunately failed. I've tried the following scenario: 1. create the hook directory... # mkdir /etc/libvirt/hook # chmod 755 /etc/libvirt/hook 2. ... or maybe hooks? # ln -s hook hooks 3. create the hook script # vi /etc/libvirt/hook/qemu # cat /etc/libvirt/hook/qemu #!/bin/bash echo "*****************************************************" >> /tmp/libvirt.log echo "qemu-hook: $@" >> /tmp/libvirt.log echo "*****************************************************" >> /tmp/libvirt.log echo "test error" >&2 exit 1 # chmod 755 /etc/libvirt/hook/qemu 4. Then I restarted the libvirt daemon and created a domain through virsh. Unfortunately nothing happened. That is the vm started - although according to the documentation [1] it should not have to start: "a non-zero return value from the script will abort the domain startup operation, and if an error string is passed on stderr by the hook script, it will be provided back to the user at the libvirt API level". Also the messages echod by the script did not appear in the log. Could you please tell what I missed? What (else) should be done in order to run hooks?
