Hi Michal,
Thanks for the reply.
But i want to keep this setting, my intention is to set IO throttling (IO tunning) over the block storage which is attached to the VM.
As per my understanding there are 2 ways to do it.
1. Using Cgroup - we can put the IO throttling on the device using cgroup command (this i have tried and it is working)
2. Using Libvirt API virDomainSetBlockIoTune() - But i am not able to achieve the IO throttling using it, please suggest how to do it.
Please let me know how to do it using Libvirt.
Regards,
Vikrant

qemu-1.1 IIRC.
Yep, that's correct. If you don't need this setting anymore, just delete

it (e.g. by using virsh edit) and you should be able to start the domain
up again.
