I argue that we found a bug in the qemu driver then. Right now, you can use 'virDomainDefineXML' to convert a transient guest into a persistent one, but there is no counterpart operation to convert a persistent guest back into a transient one. That is, I think the libvirt.c docs are right in implying that you can 'undefine' a running domain, and that the qemu driver needs to be fixed to allow this use case. Either Dan, do you want to weigh in on this API question? -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
