hi, - host: rhel6 - I created a guest rmdev2 (centos6) - undefined it
This step is buggy on older servers; it was fixed in upstream libvirt 0.9.4 to refuse deletion unless you first ensure that any managed save metadata has been removed (also, 0.9.5 also refuses deletion unless you first ensure any snapshot metadata has been removed, but that does not appear to be your problem).
- again created rmdev2 guest (centos6) now I get: virsh # start rmdev2 error: Failed to start domain rmdev2 error: operation failed: cannot restore domain 'rmdev2' uuid 9e9ea633-9691-f3d6-64da-ae9c8b3e5810 from a file which belongs to domain 'rmdev2' uuid 4f425d14-335b-0adc-11af-06e503c6b54d
start is trying to reuse the stale managed save image that was left behind by the older domain that was not completely undefined. You should be able to correct the problem by doing 'virsh managedsave-remove rmdev2' before 'virsh start rmdev2'.
why ? it seems the ghost of the old guest is causing problems... all the files used by the first guest are deleted...
Yep, and that's why newer libvirt prevents this situation from happening. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
