The man page states that with --config the next boot is affected. This can be understood as if _only_ the next bood was affected. This isn't true if the machine is running.
This patch adds the full --live, --config, --current infrastructure and tweaks stuff to correctly support the obsolete --persistent flag. --- Notes: - This patch will be greatly simplified with macros from: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-March/msg00268.html - There are multiple places like this in virsh that will need update too.
