[PATCH] clarify vmrsh net commands

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

 



Clarify that net-create deals with a transient virtual
network whereas net-define defines a persistent virtual
network definition and will create the network (xml)
definition file.

Clarify that net-destroy works with both transient and
persistent virtual networks.

Change the comment about error checking with respect to
net-edit and net-define: same error checking and
diagnostics.
