Hi, Is it possible to restore a VM whose state was previously saved with libvirt/virsh without libvirt on the destination host (i.e. only using qemu-kvm)? I have been trying by using the "incoming" qemu-kvm flag with either an open file descriptor or a gzip'd state file (with the exec option) and have not succeeded. I am using the exact same flags that libvirt uses when restoring except for the network configuration which is slightly different (details below) but I'd say it should not be causing this issue. I am aware about the stability issues of using qemu-kvm directly instead of libvirt but I need a particular network devices configuration with specific tap devices (-netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,fd=8 8<>/dev/tap2") so, unless I can do this with libvirt, I need a way to restore a saved VM with qemu-kvm directly. I would be open to a solution involving saving the state manually with qemu-kvm to avoid libvirt altogether, I just haven't managed to figure how to do this. What are your thoughts? Thank you! /R
