I presume it works by keeping reference to the domain, and is not able to manipulate the domain if it does not own it... but this is a guess :) Stefan -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
Re: [libvirt] Libvirtd needs to be always running/
Hi, Yao You should differenciate Qemu and Xen(zen). For QEMU, libvirtd need to run always. For Xen, it does not requrired to run for local machine. and required to run for remote machine. Thanks Atsushi SAKAI Yushu Yao [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, A newbie question: Does the libvirtd need to be running all the time if I want to use any functions of libvirt (as simple as start/stop/pause my virtual machines (qemu/zen)). Or is it only try if I use the remote functions or virsh.
