Well, given that I'm on gentoo, USE flags start getting involved in |
18 |
enabling and disabling functionality. Rather than actively examining |
19 |
the compile-time factors, I was hoping for a way to simply ask |
20 |
libvirtd via virsh. Going that route gives me an approach that works |
21 |
weather I'm on Gentoo, Linux, Debian or whatever. |

I've played with virt-manager before. I could use it again, but at |
29 |
least part of this exercise is to learn libvirt and kvm using a |
30 |
spartan toolchain. So I'm trying to do everything I can via CLI. (I'm |
31 |
handy enough with Python that I could use the python API bindings, but |
32 |
I presumed virsh would be easier, if not simpler.) |

Yeah, I'm hoping to learn all those commands. I want to |

proof-of-concept an approach for a high-availability NFS server using |

VMs.[2] :) |
