Hi, The libvirt.org FAQ says that "virsh edit" is the recommended way of updating the libvirt xml. If a change has to be made to many VMs "virsh edit" is tedious, time-consuming and likely to be prone to careless errors. Is there a command line approach to updating multiple VMs?
How about: for g in guest1 guest2 guest3 guest4; do virsh dumpxml --inactive $g >/tmp/g.xml # do whatever sed/etc commands you want here virsh define /tmp/g.xml done (or something like that, anyway :-)
