Not in CentOS 5.1 there isn't a newer version. You should be able to compile from a Fedora SRPM, eg this one: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SRPMS/libvirt-0.3.3-2.fc8.src.rpm But if you don't want to do that you'll have to wait for CentOS 5.2 which will have a libvirt based on 0.3.3 + a bunch of patches.

Hi,
I am watching through the virsh code for same type bug check.
http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=c857ace66df5a5068ed561aad913b29fd36160f9
And I found another point it should report error.
Thanks,

Is this one necessary? vshCommandOptString prints an error anyway
because the cpulist parameter is marked as required, ie:

And similarly.

Okay, I was seeing something weird that is at least somewhat related to
this patch.
This is with libvirt-0.4.0-5.fc9.i386 and python-virtinst cset
374:507a70e9ed10
Trying to do a paravirt install with virt-install I was seeing it blow
up with virDomainCreateLinux() failed XML description for domain is not
well formed or invalid
The problem was ostypexen/type
Changing that to ostypelinux/type made it work fine
Updating to libvirt CVS made it work fine too, since you now don't check
that the os type is linux
Dunno, haven't looked into this much and I'm not sure if it's of any
real concern ... just thought I'd mention it.
Cheers,
Mark.

[Libvir] Not able to access the network.
I have set up a machine using virsh, but I can't access it over the network. It has valid IP and everything like that. It is all running over eth1 and not eth0. Any idea as to why I can't get network access on it? I have assigned it a valid bridge. I try to ping the IP I gave it and I get nothing. -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
