NAME

       virsh - management user interface

SYNOPSIS

       virsh [OPTION]... [COMMAND_STRING]

       virsh [OPTION]... COMMAND [ARG]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  virsh program is the main interface for managing virsh guest domains. The program can
       be used to create, pause, and shutdown domains. It  can  also  be  used  to  list  current
       domains. Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent
       versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available  under  the  GNU  Lesser
       General  Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to
       run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where
       the  basic  resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aims at providing a long
       term stable C API.  It currently supports Xen, QEMU,  KVM,  LXC,  OpenVZ,  VirtualBox  and
       VMware ESX.

       The basic structure of most virsh usage is:

          virsh [OPTION]... <command> <domain> [ARG]...

       Where command is one of the commands listed below; domain is the numeric domain id, or the
       domain name, or the domain UUID; and ARGS are command specific options.  There are  a  few
       exceptions  to  this  rule in the cases where the command in question acts on all domains,
       the entire machine, or directly on the xen hypervisor.  Those exceptions will be clear for
       each  of  those  commands.   Note:  it  is  permissible  to give numeric names to domains,
       however, doing so will result in a domain that can only be identified  by  domain  id.  In
       other  words, if a numeric value is supplied it will be interpreted as a domain id, not as
       a name. Any command starting with # is treated as a  comment  and  silently  ignored,  all
       other unrecognized commands are diagnosed.

       The  virsh  program  can  be  used either to run one COMMAND by giving the command and its
       arguments on the shell command line, or a COMMAND_STRING which is a single shell  argument
       consisting  of  multiple  COMMAND  actions  and their arguments joined with whitespace and
       separated by semicolons or newlines between  commands,  where  unquoted  backslash-newline
       pairs  are  elided.  Within COMMAND_STRING, virsh understands the same single, double, and
       backslash escapes as the shell, although you must add another layer of shell  escaping  in
       creating the single shell argument, and any word starting with unquoted # begins a comment
       that ends at newline.  If no command is given in the command line, virsh will then start a
       minimal  interpreter  waiting  for  your commands, and the quit command will then exit the
       program.

       The virsh program understands the following OPTIONS.

       -c, --connect URI

       Connect to the specified URI, as if  by  the  connect  command,  instead  of  the  default
       connection.

       -d, --debug LEVEL

       Enable  debug messages at integer LEVEL and above.  LEVEL can range from 0 to 4 (default).
       See the documentation of VIRSH_DEBUG environment variable below  for  the  description  of
       each LEVEL.

       • -e, --escape string

       Set  alternative  escape  sequence  for  console command. By default, telnet's ^] is used.
       Allowed characters when using hat notation are: alphabetic character, @, [, ], , ^, _.

       • -h, --help

       Ignore all other arguments, and behave as if the help command were given instead.

       • -k, --keepalive-interval INTERVAL

       Set an INTERVAL (in seconds) for sending keepalive messages to check whether connection to
       the server is still alive.  Setting the interval to 0 disables client keepalive mechanism.

       • -K, --keepalive-count COUNT

       Set  a  number  of  times keepalive message can be sent without getting an answer from the
       server without marking the connection dead.  There is no effect to this  setting  in  case
       the INTERVAL is set to 0.

       • -l, --log FILE

       Output logging details to FILE.

       • -q, --quiet

       Avoid extra informational messages.

       • -r, --readonly

       Make  the  initial  connection  read-only,  as  if by the --readonly option of the connect
       command.

       • -t, --timing

       Output elapsed time information for each command.

       • -v, --version[=short]

       Ignore all other arguments, and prints the version of the libvirt library virsh is  coming
       from

       • -V, --version=long

       Ignore  all other arguments, and prints the version of the libvirt library virsh is coming
       from and which options and driver are compiled in.

NOTES

       Most virsh operations rely upon the libvirt library being able to connect  to  an  already
       running  libvirtd  service.   This  can usually be done using the command service libvirtd
       start.

       Most virsh commands require root privileges to run due to the communications channels used
       to talk to the hypervisor.  Running as non root will return an error.

       Most  virsh  commands  act  synchronously,  except maybe shutdown, setvcpus and setmem. In
       those cases the fact that the virsh program returned, may not mean the action is  complete
       and you must poll periodically to detect that the guest completed the operation.

       virsh  strives  for  backward  compatibility.   Although  the  help command only lists the
       preferred usage of a command, if an older version of virsh supported an alternate spelling
       of  a  command  or  option (such as --tunnelled instead of --tunneled), then scripts using
       that older spelling will continue to work.

       Several virsh commands take an optionally scaled integer; if no scale  is  provided,  then
       the  default  is  listed  in the command (for historical reasons, some commands default to
       bytes, while  other  commands  default  to  kibibytes).   The  following  case-insensitive
       suffixes can be used to select a specific scale:

          b, byte  byte      1
          KB       kilobyte  1,000
          k, KiB   kibibyte  1,024
          MB       megabyte  1,000,000
          M, MiB   mebibyte  1,048,576
          GB       gigabyte  1,000,000,000
          G, GiB   gibibyte  1,073,741,824
          TB       terabyte  1,000,000,000,000
          T, TiB   tebibyte  1,099,511,627,776
          PB       petabyte  1,000,000,000,000,000
          P, PiB   pebibyte  1,125,899,906,842,624
          EB       exabyte   1,000,000,000,000,000,000
          E, EiB   exbibyte  1,152,921,504,606,846,976

GENERIC COMMANDS

       The following commands are generic i.e. not specific to a domain.

   help
       Syntax:

          help [command-or-group]

       This  lists  each  of  the  virsh  commands.   When used without options, all commands are
       listed, one per line, grouped into related categories, displaying  the  keyword  for  each
       group.

       To  display  only  commands  for  a  specific group, give the keyword for that group as an
       option.  For example:

       Example 1:

          virsh # help host

          Host and Hypervisor (help keyword 'host'):
              capabilities                   capabilities
              cpu-models                     show the CPU models for an architecture
              connect                        (re)connect to hypervisor
              freecell                       NUMA free memory
              hostname                       print the hypervisor hostname
              qemu-attach                    Attach to existing QEMU process
              qemu-monitor-command           QEMU Monitor Command
              qemu-agent-command             QEMU Guest Agent Command
              sysinfo                        print the hypervisor sysinfo
              uri                            print the hypervisor canonical URI

       To display detailed information for a specific  command,  give  its  name  as  the  option
       instead.  For example:

       Example 2:

          virsh # help list
            NAME
              list - list domains

            SYNOPSIS
              list [--inactive] [--all]

            DESCRIPTION
              Returns list of domains.

            OPTIONS
              --inactive       list inactive domains
              --all            list inactive & active domains

       Syntax:

          quit
          exit

       quit this interactive terminal

   version
       Syntax:

          version [--daemon]

       Will  print  out  the  major  version  info  about  what  this built from.  If --daemon is
       specified then the version of the libvirt daemon is included in the output.

       Example:

          $ virsh version
          Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.3
          Using library: libvirt 1.2.3
          Using API: QEMU 1.2.3
          Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.0.50

          Using API: QEMU 1.2.3
          Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.0.50
          Running against daemon: 1.2.6

   cd
       Syntax:

          cd [directory]

       Will change current directory to directory.  The default directory for the cd  command  is
       the  home  directory  or,  if  there  is  no  HOME  variable  in the environment, the root
       directory.

       This command is only available in interactive mode.

   pwd
       Syntax:

          pwd

       Will print the current directory.

   connect
       Syntax:

          connect [URI] [--readonly]

       (Re)-Connect to the hypervisor. When the shell is first started, this is automatically run
       with  the  URI parameter requested by the -c option on the command line. The URI parameter
       specifies how to connect to the hypervisor. The URI docs https://libvirt.org/uri.html list
       the values supported, but the most common are:

       • xen:///system

         this is used to connect to the local Xen hypervisor

       • qemu:///system

         connect locally as root to the daemon supervising QEMU and KVM domains

       • qemu:///session

         connect locally as a normal user to his own set of QEMU and KVM domains

       • lxc:///system

         connect to a local linux container

       To find the currently used URI, check the uri command documented below.

       For  remote  access see the URI docs https://libvirt.org/uri.html on how to make URIs. The
       --readonly option allows for read-only connection

   uri
       Syntax:

          uri

       Prints the hypervisor canonical URI, can be useful in shell mode.

   hostname
       Syntax:

          hostname

       Print the hypervisor hostname.

   sysinfo
       Syntax:

          sysinfo

       Print the XML representation of the hypervisor sysinfo, if available.

   nodeinfo
       Syntax:

          nodeinfo

       Returns basic information about the node, like number and type of CPU,  and  size  of  the
       physical  memory.  The output corresponds to virNodeInfo structure. Specifically, the "CPU
       socket(s)" field means number of CPU  sockets  per  NUMA  cell.  The  information  libvirt
       displays is dependent upon what each architecture may provide.

   nodecpumap
       Syntax:

          nodecpumap [--pretty]

       Displays the node's total number of CPUs, the number of online CPUs and the list of online
       CPUs.

       With --pretty the online CPUs are printed as a range instead of a list.

   nodecpustats
       Syntax:

          nodecpustats [cpu] [--percent]

       Returns cpu stats of the node.  If cpu is specified, this will  print  the  specified  cpu
       statistics  only.   If --percent is specified, this will print the percentage of each kind
       of cpu statistics during 1 second.

   nodememstats
       Syntax:

          nodememstats [cell]

       Returns memory stats of the node.  If cell is specified, this  will  print  the  specified
       cell statistics only.

   nodesuspend
       Syntax:

          nodesuspend [target] [duration]

       Puts  the  node  (host  machine)  into  a  system-wide sleep state and schedule the node's
       Real-Time-Clock interrupt to resume the node after the time duration specified by duration
       is  out.   target  specifies  the  state to which the host will be suspended to, it can be
       "mem" (suspend to RAM), "disk" (suspend to disk), or "hybrid" (suspend  to  both  RAM  and
       disk).   duration  specifies  the  time  duration  in seconds for which the host has to be
       suspended, it should be at least 60 seconds.

   node
       Syntax:

          node-memory-tune [shm-pages-to-scan] [shm-sleep-millisecs] [shm-merge-across-nodes]

       Allows you to display or set the node memory parameters.  shm-pages-to-scan can be used to
       set  the  number  of  pages  to  scan  before  the  shared  memory  service goes to sleep;
       shm-sleep-millisecs can be used to set the number of millisecs the shared  memory  service
       should  sleep  before  next scan; shm-merge-across-nodes specifies if pages from different
       numa nodes can be merged. When set to 0, only pages which physically reside in the  memory
       area  of  same NUMA node can be merged. When set to 1, pages from all nodes can be merged.
       Default to 1.

       Note: Currently the "shared memory service" only means KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging).

   capabilities
       Syntax:

          capabilities

       Print an XML document describing the capabilities  of  the  hypervisor  we  are  currently
       connected  to.  This  includes  a  section  on  the  host capabilities in terms of CPU and
       features, and a set of description for each kind of guest which can be virtualized. For  a
       more complete description see:

       https://libvirt.org/formatcaps.html

       The XML also show the NUMA topology information if available.

   domcapabilities
       Syntax:

          domcapabilities [virttype] [emulatorbin] [arch] [machine]

       Print  an  XML  document  describing  the  domain  capabilities  for the hypervisor we are
       connected to using information either sourced from an existing domain or  taken  from  the
       virsh capabilities output. This may be useful if you intend to create a new domain and are
       curious if for instance it could make use of VFIO by creating a domain for the  hypervisor
       with a specific emulator and architecture.

       Each  hypervisor will have different requirements regarding which options are required and
       which are optional. A hypervisor can support providing a default  value  for  any  of  the
       options.

       The virttype option specifies the virtualization type used. The value to be used is either
       from the 'type' attribute of the <domain/> top level element from the domain  XML  or  the
       'type'  attribute  found  within each <guest/> element from the virsh capabilities output.
       The emulatorbin option specifies the path to the emulator. The value to be used is  either
       the <emulator> element in the domain XML or the virsh capabilities output. The arch option
       specifies the architecture to be used for the domain. The value to be used is  either  the
       "arch"  attribute from the domain's XML <os/> element and <type/> subelement or the "name"
       attribute of an <arch/> element from the virsh capabililites output. The machine specifies
       the  machine type for the emulator. The value to be used is either the "machine" attribute
       from the domain's XML <os/> element and <type/> subelement or one from a list of  machines
       from the virsh capabilities output for a specific architecture and domain type.

       For  the QEMU hypervisor, a virttype of either 'qemu' or 'kvm' must be supplied along with
       either the emulatorbin or arch in order  to  generate  output  for  the  default  machine.
       Supplying a machine value will generate output for the specific machine.

   pool-capabilities
       Syntax:

          pool-capabilities

       Print  an  XML document describing the storage pool capabilities for the connected storage
       driver. This may be useful if you intend to create a new storage pool and need to know the
       available  pool  types and supported storage pool source and target volume formats as well
       as the required source elements to create the pool.

   inject
       Syntax:

          inject-nmi domain

       Inject NMI to the guest.

   list
       Syntax:

          list [--inactive | --all]
               [--managed-save] [--title]
               { [--table] | --name | --uuid }
               [--persistent] [--transient]
               [--with-managed-save] [--without-managed-save]
               [--autostart] [--no-autostart]
               [--with-snapshot] [--without-snapshot]
               [--with-checkpoint] [--without-checkpoint]
               [--state-running] [--state-paused]
               [--state-shutoff] [--state-other]

       Prints information about existing domains.  If no options  are  specified  it  prints  out
       information about running domains.

       Example 1:

       An example format for the list is as follows:

          ``virsh`` list
            Id    Name                           State
          ----------------------------------------------------
            0     Domain-0                       running
            2     fedora                         paused

       Name  is  the  name of the domain.  ID the domain numeric id.  State is the run state (see
       below).

       STATES

       The State field lists what state each domain is currently in. A domain can be  in  one  of
       the following possible states:

       • running

         The domain is currently running on a CPU

       • idle

         The  domain is idle, and not running or runnable.  This can be caused because the domain
         is waiting on IO (a traditional wait state) or has  gone  to  sleep  because  there  was
         nothing else for it to do.

       • paused

         The  domain  has  been paused, usually occurring through the administrator running virsh
         suspend.  When in a paused state the domain will still consume allocated resources  like
         memory, but will not be eligible for scheduling by the hypervisor.

       • in shutdown

         The  domain is in the process of shutting down, i.e. the guest operating system has been
         notified and should be in the process of stopping its operations gracefully.

       • shut off

         The domain is not running.  Usually  this  indicates  the  domain  has  been  shut  down
         completely, or has not been started.

       • crashed

         The  domain  has crashed, which is always a violent ending.  Usually this state can only
         occur if the domain has been configured not to restart on crash.

       • pmsuspended

         The domain has been suspended by guest power management, e.g. entered into s3 state.

       Normally only active domains are listed. To list inactive domains  specify  --inactive  or
       --all to list both active and inactive domains.

       Filtering

       To  further  filter  the  list  of  domains you may specify one or more of filtering flags
       supported by the list command. These flags are grouped by  function.   Specifying  one  or
       more flags from a group enables the filter group. Note that some combinations of flags may
       yield no results. Supported filtering flags and groups:

   Persistence
       Flag --persistent is used to include persistent domains in the returned list.  To  include
       transient domains specify --transient.

   Existence of managed save image
       To  list domains having a managed save image specify flag --with-managed-save. For domains
       that don't have a managed save image specify --without-managed-save.

   Domain state
       The following filter flags select a domain  by  its  state:  --state-running  for  running
       domains,  --state-paused   for  paused domains, --state-shutoff for turned off domains and
       --state-other for all other states as a fallback.

   Autostarting domains
       To list autostarting domains use the flag --autostart. To list domains with  this  feature
       disabled use --no-autostart.

   Snapshot existence
       Domains  that  have  snapshot  images  can  be  listed using flag --with-snapshot, domains
       without a snapshot --without-snapshot.

   Checkpoint existence
       Domains that have checkpoints can be listed using flag --with-checkpoint, domains  without
       a checkpoint --without-checkpoint.

       When talking to older servers, this command is forced to use a series of API calls with an
       inherent race, where a domain might not be listed or might appear more  than  once  if  it
       changed state between calls while the list was being collected.  Newer servers do not have
       this problem.

       If --managed-save is specified, then domains that have managed save state  (only  possible
       if  they are in the shut off state, so you need to specify --inactive or --all to actually
       list them) will instead show as saved in the listing. This flag is usable  only  with  the
       default --table output.  Note that this flag does not filter the list of domains.

       If  --name  is  specified, domain names are printed instead of the table formatted one per
       line. If --uuid is specified domain's UUID's are printed instead of  names.  Flag  --table
       specifies that the legacy table-formatted output should be used. This is the default.

       If  both --name and --uuid are specified, domain UUID's and names are printed side by side
       without any header. Flag --table specifies that the legacy table-formatted  output  should
       be used. This is the default if neither --name nor --uuid are specified. Option --table is
       mutually exclusive with options --uuid and --name.

       If --title is specified, then the short domain description (title) is printed in an  extra
       column. This flag is usable only with the default --table output.

       Example 2:

          $ virsh list --title
            Id    Name        State      Title

   freecell
       Syntax:

          freecell [{ [--cellno] cellno | --all }]

       Prints  the available amount of memory on the machine or within a NUMA cell.  The freecell
       command can provide one of three different displays of available  memory  on  the  machine
       depending on the options specified.  With no options, it displays the total free memory on
       the machine.  With the --all option, it displays the free memory  in  each  cell  and  the
       total  free memory on the machine.  Finally, with a numeric argument or with --cellno plus
       a cell number it will display the free memory for the specified cell only.

   freepages
       Syntax:

          freepages [{ [--cellno] cellno [--pagesize] pagesize |     --all }]

       Prints the available amount of pages within a NUMA cell. cellno refers to  the  NUMA  cell
       you're  interested  in. pagesize is a scaled integer (see NOTES above).  Alternatively, if
       --all is used, info on each possible combination of NUMA cell and  page  size  is  printed
       out.

   allocpages
       Syntax:

          allocpages [--pagesize] pagesize [--pagecount] pagecount [[--cellno] cellno] [--add] [--all]

       Change  the  size  of  pages  pool  of  pagesize  on the host. If --add is specified, then
       pagecount pages are added into the pool. However, if  --add  wasn't  specified,  then  the
       pagecount  is  taken  as  the new absolute size of the pool (this may be used to free some
       pages and size the pool down). The cellno modifier can be used to narrow the  modification
       down  to  a  single host NUMA cell. On the other end of spectrum lies --all which executes
       the modification on all NUMA cells.

   cpu-baseline
       Syntax:

          cpu-baseline FILE [--features] [--migratable]

       Compute baseline CPU which will be supported by all  host  CPUs  given  in  <file>.   (See
       hypervisor-cpu-baseline  command  to  get  a  CPU  which  can  be  provided  by a specific
       hypervisor.) The list of host CPUs is built by extracting  all  <cpu>  elements  from  the
       <file>. Thus, the <file> can contain either a set of <cpu> elements separated by new lines
       or even a set of complete <capabilities> elements printed  by  capabilities  command.   If
       --features  is  specified,  then the resulting XML description will explicitly include all
       features that make up the CPU, without this option features that are part of the CPU model
       will  not  be listed in the XML description.   If --migratable is specified, features that
       block migration will not be included in the resulting CPU.

   cpu-compare
       Syntax:

          cpu-compare FILE [--error]

       Compare CPU definition from XML <file> with host CPU. (See hypervisor-cpu-compare  command
       for  comparing  the  CPU  definition  with  the CPU which a specific hypervisor is able to
       provide on the host.) The XML <file> may contain either host or guest CPU definition.  The
       host  CPU  definition  is  the  <cpu>  element and its contents as printed by capabilities
       command. The guest CPU definition is the <cpu> element and its contents  from  domain  XML
       definition  or  the  CPU  definition  created  from  the  host  CPU  model found in domain
       capabilities XML (printed by domcapabilities command). In addition to  the  <cpu>  element
       itself, this command accepts full domain XML, capabilities XML, or domain capabilities XML
       containing the  CPU  definition.  For  more  information  on  guest  CPU  definition  see:
       https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU.  If  --error  is specified, the command
       will return an error when the given CPU is  incompatible  with  host  CPU  and  a  message
       providing more details about the incompatibility will be printed out.

   cpu-models
       Syntax:

          cpu-models arch

       Print  the  list of CPU models known by libvirt for the specified architecture.  Whether a
       specific hypervisor is able to create a domain which uses any of the printed CPU models is
       a  separate  question  which  can  be  answered  by looking at the domain capabilities XML
       returned by domcapabilities command.  Moreover, for some architectures  libvirt  does  not
       know  any  CPU  models  and the usable CPU models are only limited by the hypervisor. This
       command will print that all CPU models are accepted for these architectures and the actual
       list of supported CPU models can be checked in the domain capabilities XML.

   echo
       Syntax:

          echo [--shell] [--xml] [err...] [arg...]

       Echo  back each arg, separated by space.  If --shell is specified, then the output will be
       single-quoted where needed, so that it is suitable for reuse in a shell context.  If --xml
       is  specified,  then  the  output  will be escaped for use in XML.  If --err is specified,
       prefix "error: " and output to stderr instead of stdout.

   hypervisor-cpu-compare
       Syntax:

          hypervisor-cpu-compare FILE [virttype] [emulator] [arch] [machine] [--error]

       Compare CPU definition from XML <file> with the CPU the hypervisor is able to  provide  on
       the  host.  (This is different from cpu-compare which compares the CPU definition with the
       host CPU without considering any specific hypervisor and its abilities.)

       The XML FILE may contain either a host or guest CPU definition. The host CPU definition is
       the  <cpu>  element and its contents as printed by the capabilities command. The guest CPU
       definition is the <cpu> element and its contents from the domain XML definition or the CPU
       definition  created  from the host CPU model found in the domain capabilities XML (printed
       by the domcapabilities command). In addition to the <cpu>  element  itself,  this  command
       accepts  full  domain XML, capabilities XML, or domain capabilities XML containing the CPU
       definition.    For    more    information     on     guest     CPU     definition     see:
       https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU.

       The  virttype  option specifies the virtualization type (usable in the 'type' attribute of
       the <domain> top level element from the domain XML). emulator specifies the  path  to  the
       emulator,  arch specifies the CPU architecture, and machine specifies the machine type. If
       --error is specified, the command will return an error when the given CPU is  incompatible
       with  the  host CPU and a message providing more details about the incompatibility will be
       printed out.

   hypervisor-cpu-baseline
       Syntax:

          hypervisor-cpu-baseline FILE [virttype] [emulator] [arch] [machine] [--features] [--migratable]

       Compute a baseline CPU which will be compatible with all CPUs defined in an XML  file  and
       with  the  CPU  the  hypervisor  is  able  to provide on the host. (This is different from
       cpu-baseline which does not consider any hypervisor abilities when computing the  baseline
       CPU.)

       The  XML  FILE  may  contain  either host or guest CPU definitions describing the host CPU
       model. The host CPU definition is the  <cpu>  element  and  its  contents  as  printed  by
       capabilities  command.  The  guest  CPU  definition may be created from the host CPU model
       found in domain capabilities XML (printed by domcapabilities command). In addition to  the
       <cpu>  elements,  this command accepts full capabilities XMLs, or domain capabilities XMLs
       containing the CPU definitions. For best results, use only the CPU definitions from domain
       capabilities.

       When  FILE contains only a single CPU definition, the command will print the same CPU with
       restrictions imposed by the capabilities of  the  hypervisor.   Specifically,  running  th
       virsh  hypervisor-cpu-baseline  command  with no additional options on the result of virsh
       domcapabilities will transform the host CPU model from domain capabilities XML to  a  form
       directly usable in domain XML.

       The  virttype  option specifies the virtualization type (usable in the 'type' attribute of
       the <domain> top level element from the domain XML). emulator specifies the  path  to  the
       emulator,  arch specifies the CPU architecture, and machine specifies the machine type. If
       --features is specified, then the resulting XML description will  explicitly  include  all
       features that make up the CPU, without this option features that are part of the CPU model
       will not be listed in the XML description. If --migratable  is  specified,  features  that
       block migration will not be included in the resulting CPU.

DOMAIN COMMANDS

       The  following  commands  manipulate  domains directly, as stated previously most commands
       take domain as the first parameter. The domain can be specified as a short integer, a name
       or a full UUID.

   autostart
       Syntax:

          autostart [--disable] domain

       Configure a domain to be automatically started at boot.

       The option --disable disables autostarting.

   blkdeviotune
       Syntax:

          blkdeviotune domain device [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]
             [[total-bytes-sec] | [read-bytes-sec] [write-bytes-sec]]
             [[total-iops-sec] | [read-iops-sec] [write-iops-sec]]
             [[total-bytes-sec-max] | [read-bytes-sec-max] [write-bytes-sec-max]]
             [[total-iops-sec-max] | [read-iops-sec-max] [write-iops-sec-max]]
             [[total-bytes-sec-max-length] |
              [read-bytes-sec-max-length] [write-bytes-sec-max-length]]
             [[total-iops-sec-max-length] |
              [read-iops-sec-max-length] [write-iops-sec-max-length]]
             [size-iops-sec] [group-name]

       Set  or query the block disk io parameters for a block device of domain.  device specifies
       a unique target name (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source file='name'/>) for one
       of the disk devices attached to domain (see also domblklist for listing these names).

       If  no limit is specified, it will query current I/O limits setting.  Otherwise, alter the
       limits with these flags: --total-bytes-sec specifies total throughput limit  as  a  scaled
       integer,  the  default being bytes per second if no suffix is specified.  --read-bytes-sec
       specifies read throughput limit as a scaled integer, the default being bytes per second if
       no  suffix  is  specified.  --write-bytes-sec specifies write throughput limit as a scaled
       integer, the default being bytes per second if no suffix is  specified.   --total-iops-sec
       specifies  total  I/O  operations  limit  per  second.  --read-iops-sec specifies read I/O
       operations limit per second.  --write-iops-sec specifies write I/O  operations  limit  per
       second.   --total-bytes-sec-max  specifies  maximum  total  throughput  limit  as a scaled
       integer, the default being bytes per second if no suffix is specified --read-bytes-sec-max
       specifies  maximum  read throughput limit as a scaled integer, the default being bytes per
       second  if  no  suffix  is  specified.   --write-bytes-sec-max  specifies  maximum   write
       throughput  limit  as a scaled integer, the default being bytes per second if no suffix is
       specified.  --total-iops-sec-max specifies maximum total I/O operations limit per  second.
       --read-iops-sec-max   specifies   maximum   read   I/O   operations   limit   per  second.
       --write-iops-sec-max  specifies  maximum  write   I/O   operations   limit   per   second.
       --total-bytes-sec-max-length   specifies  duration  in  seconds  to  allow  maximum  total
       throughput limit.  --read-bytes-sec-max-length specifies  duration  in  seconds  to  allow
       maximum read throughput limit.  --write-bytes-sec-max-length specifies duration in seconds
       to allow maximum write throughput limit.  --total-iops-sec-max-length  specifies  duration
       in  seconds  to  allow  maximum  total  I/O  operations limit.  --read-iops-sec-max-length
       specifies  duration  in  seconds   to   allow   maximum   read   I/O   operations   limit.
       --write-iops-sec-max-length  specifies  duration  in  seconds  to  allow maximum write I/O
       operations limit.   --size-iops-sec  specifies  size  I/O  operations  limit  per  second.
       --group-name  specifies group name to share I/O quota between multiple drives.  For a QEMU
       domain, if no name is provided, then the default is  to  have  a  single  group  for  each
       device.

       Older versions of virsh only accepted these options with underscore instead of dash, as in
       --total_bytes_sec.

       Bytes  and  iops  values  are  independent,  but  setting  only   one   value   (such   as
       --read-bytes-sec)  resets the other two in that category to unlimited.  An explicit 0 also
       clears any limit.  A non-zero value for a given total cannot be mixed with non-zero values
       for read or write.

       It  is  up  to  the hypervisor to determine how to handle the length values.  For the QEMU
       hypervisor, if an I/O limit value or maximum value is set, then the  default  value  of  1
       second will be displayed. Supplying a 0 will reset the value back to the default.

       If --live is specified, affect a running guest.  If --config is specified, affect the next
       boot of a persistent guest.  If --current is specified, affect the  current  guest  state.
       When  setting  the  disk  io  parameters  both --live and --config flags may be given, but
       --current is exclusive. For querying only one of --live,  --config  or  --current  can  be
       specified. If no flag is specified, behavior is different depending on hypervisor.

   blkiotune
       Syntax:

          blkiotune domain [--weight weight] [--device-weights device-weights]
             [--device-read-iops-sec device-read-iops-sec]
             [--device-write-iops-sec device-write-iops-sec]
             [--device-read-bytes-sec device-read-bytes-sec]
             [--device-write-bytes-sec device-write-bytes-sec]
             [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Display  or  set  the  blkio parameters. QEMU/KVM supports --weight.  --weight is in range
       [100, 1000]. After kernel 2.6.39, the value could be in the range [10, 1000].

       device-weights is a single string listing one or more device/weight pairs, in  the  format
       of  /path/to/device,weight,/path/to/device,weight.   Each  weight  is  in  the range [100,
       1000], [10, 1000] after kernel  2.6.39,  or  the  value  0  to  remove  that  device  from
       per-device  listings.   Only  the  devices listed in the string are modified; any existing
       per-device weights for other devices remain unchanged.

       device-read-iops-sec is a single string listing one or  more  device/read_iops_sec  pairs,
       int   the  format  of  /path/to/device,read_iops_sec,/path/to/device,read_iops_sec.   Each
       read_iops_sec is a number which type is unsigned int, value 0 to remove that  device  from
       per-device  listing.   Only  the  devices  listed in the string are modified; any existing
       per-device read_iops_sec for other devices remain unchanged.

       device-write-iops-sec is a single string listing one or more device/write_iops_sec  pairs,
       int  the  format  of  /path/to/device,write_iops_sec,/path/to/device,write_iops_sec.  Each
       write_iops_sec is a number which type is unsigned int, value 0 to remove that device  from
       per-device  listing.   Only  the  devices  listed in the string are modified; any existing
       per-device write_iops_sec for other devices remain unchanged.

       device-read-bytes-sec is a single string listing one or more device/read_bytes_sec  pairs,
       int  the  format  of  /path/to/device,read_bytes_sec,/path/to/device,read_bytes_sec.  Each
       read_bytes_sec is a number which type is unsigned long long, value 0 to remove that device
       from per-device listing.  Only the devices listed in the string are modified; any existing
       per-device read_bytes_sec for other devices remain unchanged.

       device-write-bytes-sec is a single  string  listing  one  or  more  device/write_bytes_sec
       pairs,  int the format of /path/to/device,write_bytes_sec,/path/to/device,write_bytes_sec.
       Each write_bytes_sec is a number which type is unsigned long long, value 0 to remove  that
       device  from  per-device listing.  Only the devices listed in the string are modified; any
       existing per-device write_bytes_sec for other devices remain unchanged.

       If --live is specified, affect a running guest.  If --config is specified, affect the next
       boot  of  a  persistent guest.  If --current is specified, affect the current guest state.
       Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.  If  no  flag  is
       specified, behavior is different depending on hypervisor.

   blockcommit
       Syntax:

          blockcommit domain path [bandwidth] [--bytes] [base]
             [--shallow] [top] [--delete] [--keep-relative]
             [--wait [--async] [--verbose]] [--timeout seconds]
             [--active] [{--pivot | --keep-overlay}]

       Reduce  the length of a backing image chain, by committing changes at the top of the chain
       (snapshot or delta files) into backing images.   By  default,  this  command  attempts  to
       flatten  the  entire  chain.  If base and/or top are specified as files within the backing
       chain, then the operation is constrained to committing just that  portion  of  the  chain;
       --shallow  can  be  used  instead  of  base  to  specify the immediate backing file of the
       resulting top image to be committed.  The files  being  committed  are  rendered  invalid,
       possibly  as  soon as the operation starts; using the --delete flag will attempt to remove
       these invalidated files at the successful completion of the  commit  operation.  When  the
       --keep-relative flag is used, the backing file paths will be kept relative.

       When  top  is  omitted  or  specified  as the active image, it is also possible to specify
       --active to trigger a two-phase active commit. In the first phase, top is copied into base
       and  the  job can only be canceled, with top still containing data not yet in base. In the
       second phase, top and base remain identical until a call to blockjob with the --abort flag
       (keeping  top  as  the  active  image  that tracks changes from that point in time) or the
       --pivot flag (making base the new active image and invalidating top).

       By default, this command returns as soon as possible, and data  for  the  entire  disk  is
       committed  in  the background; the progress of the operation can be checked with blockjob.
       However, if --wait is  specified,  then  this  command  will  block  until  the  operation
       completes  (or  for --active, enters the second phase), or until the operation is canceled
       because the optional timeout in seconds elapses or SIGINT is sent (usually  with  Ctrl-C).
       Using  --verbose  along  with  --wait  will  produce  periodic  status  updates.   If  job
       cancellation is triggered, --async will return control to the user as  fast  as  possible,
       otherwise  the  command  may continue to block a little while longer until the job is done
       cleaning up.  Using --pivot is shorthand for combining --active --wait with  an  automatic
       blockjob --pivot; and using --keep-overlay is shorthand for combining --active --wait with
       an automatic blockjob --abort.

       path specifies fully-qualified path of the disk; it corresponds to a  unique  target  name
       (<target  dev='name'/>) or source file (<source file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices
       attached to domain (see also domblklist for listing  these  names).   bandwidth  specifies
       copying bandwidth limit in MiB/s, although for QEMU, it may be non-zero only for an online
       domain. For further information on the bandwidth argument see  the  corresponding  section
       for the blockjob command.

   blockcopy
       Syntax:

          blockcopy domain path { dest [format] [--blockdev] | --xml file }
             [--shallow] [--reuse-external] [bandwidth]
             [--wait [--async] [--verbose]] [{--pivot | --finish}]
             [--timeout seconds] [granularity] [buf-size] [--bytes]
             [--transient-job]

       Copy  a  disk  backing  image chain to a destination.  Either dest as the destination file
       name, or --xml with the name  of  an  XML  file  containing  a  top-level  <disk>  element
       describing  the  destination,  must  be  present.   Additionally, if dest is given, format
       should be specified to declare the format of the destination (if format is  omitted,  then
       libvirt  will  reuse  the format of the source, or with --reuse-external will be forced to
       probe the destination format, which could be a  potential  security  hole).   The  command
       supports  --raw  as  a  boolean  flag  synonym  for  --format=raw.   When  using dest, the
       destination is treated as a regular file unless --blockdev is used to signal that it is  a
       block  device.  By  default,  this  command flattens the entire chain; but if --shallow is
       specified, the copy shares the backing chain.

       If --reuse-external is specified, then the destination  must  exist  and  have  sufficient
       space to hold the copy. If --shallow is used in conjunction with --reuse-external then the
       pre-created image must have guest visible contents identical to guest visible contents  of
       the  backing file of the original image. This may be used to modify the backing file names
       on the destination.

       By default, the copy job runs in the background, and consists of two  phases.   Initially,
       the  job  must  copy  all data from the source, and during this phase, the job can only be
       canceled to revert back to the source disk, with  no  guarantees  about  the  destination.
       After  this  phase  completes, both the source and the destination remain mirrored until a
       call to blockjob with the --abort and --pivot flags pivots over to the  copy,  or  a  call
       without --pivot leaves the destination as a faithful copy of that point in time.  However,
       if --wait is specified, then this command will block until the mirroring phase begins,  or
       cancel the operation if the optional timeout in seconds elapses or SIGINT is sent (usually
       with Ctrl-C).  Using --verbose along with --wait will  produce  periodic  status  updates.
       Using  --pivot  (similar  to  blockjob  --pivot) or --finish (similar to blockjob --abort)
       implies --wait, and will additionally end the job cleanly rather than  leaving  things  in
       the  mirroring phase.  If job cancellation is triggered by timeout or by --finish, --async
       will return control to the user as fast as possible, otherwise the command may continue to
       block a little while longer until the job has actually cancelled.

       path  specifies  fully-qualified  path of the disk.  bandwidth specifies copying bandwidth
       limit in MiB/s. Specifying a negative value is interpreted as an unsigned long long  value
       that  might be essentially unlimited, but more likely would overflow; it is safer to use 0
       for that purpose. For further information on the bandwidth argument see the  corresponding
       section  for  the  blockjob  command.   Specifying  granularity  allows fine-tuning of the
       granularity that will be copied when a dirty region is  detected;  larger  values  trigger
       less  I/O  overhead but may end up copying more data overall (the default value is usually
       correct); hypervisors may restrict this to be a power of two  or  fall  within  a  certain
       range.  Specifying  buf-size  will  control  how much data can be simultaneously in-flight
       during the copy; larger values use more  memory  but  may  allow  faster  completion  (the
       default value is usually correct).

       --transient-job  allows  specifying that the user does not require the job to be recovered
       if the VM crashes or is turned off  before  the  job  completes.  This  flag  removes  the
       restriction  of  copy  jobs  to  transient  domains  if that restriction is applied by the
       hypervisor.

   blockjob
       Syntax:

          blockjob domain path { [--abort] [--async] [--pivot] |
             [--info] [--raw] [--bytes] | [bandwidth] }

       Manage active  block  operations.   There  are  three  mutually-exclusive  modes:  --info,
       bandwidth,  and  --abort.   --async and --pivot imply abort mode; --raw implies info mode;
       and if no mode was given, --info mode is assumed.

       path specifies fully-qualified path of the disk; it corresponds to a  unique  target  name
       (<target  dev='name'/>) or source file (<source file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices
       attached to domain (see also domblklist for listing these names).

       In --abort mode, the active job on the specified disk will be aborted.  If --async is also
       specified,  this command will return immediately, rather than waiting for the cancellation
       to complete.  If --pivot is specified, this requests that an active copy or active  commit
       job be pivoted over to the new image.

       In  --info  mode,  the  active  job information on the specified disk will be printed.  By
       default, the output is a single human-readable summary line; this  format  may  change  in
       future versions.  Adding --raw lists each field of the struct, in a stable format.  If the
       --bytes flag is set, then the command errors out if the server could  not  supply  bytes/s
       resolution;  when  omitting  the  flag,  raw  output is listed in MiB/s and human-readable
       output automatically selects the best resolution supported by the server.

       bandwidth can be used to set bandwidth limit for the active job in MiB/s.  If  --bytes  is
       specified  then the bandwidth value is interpreted in bytes/s. Specifying a negative value
       is interpreted as an unsigned long value or  essentially  unlimited.  The  hypervisor  can
       choose  whether to reject the value or convert it to the maximum value allowed. Optionally
       a scaled positive number may be used as bandwidth (see NOTES above). Using --bytes with  a
       scaled  value  permits  a  finer  granularity to be selected.  A scaled value used without
       --bytes will be rounded down to MiB/s. Note that the --bytes may  be  unsupported  by  the
       hypervisor.

       Note  that  the  progress reported for blockjobs corresponding to a pull-mode backup don't
       report progress of the backup but rather usage of temporary space required for the backup.

   blockpull
       Syntax:

          blockpull domain path [bandwidth] [--bytes] [base]
             [--wait [--verbose] [--timeout seconds] [--async]]
             [--keep-relative]

       Populate a disk from its backing image chain. By default, this command flattens the entire
       chain;  but  if  base is specified, containing the name of one of the backing files in the
       chain, then that file becomes the new backing file and only the  intermediate  portion  of
       the  chain  is  pulled.   Once  all  requested  data from the backing image chain has been
       pulled, the disk no longer depends on that portion of the backing chain.

       By default, this command returns as soon as possible, and data  for  the  entire  disk  is
       pulled  in  the  background;  the  progress of the operation can be checked with blockjob.
       However, if --wait is  specified,  then  this  command  will  block  until  the  operation
       completes, or cancel the operation if the optional timeout in seconds elapses or SIGINT is
       sent (usually with Ctrl-C).  Using --verbose  along  with  --wait  will  produce  periodic
       status updates.  If job cancellation is triggered, --async will return control to the user
       as fast as possible, otherwise the command may continue to block  a  little  while  longer
       until the job is done cleaning up.

       Using the --keep-relative flag will keep the backing chain names relative.

       path  specifies  fully-qualified  path of the disk; it corresponds to a unique target name
       (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source file='name'/>) for one of the disk  devices
       attached  to  domain  (see  also domblklist for listing these names).  bandwidth specifies
       copying bandwidth limit in MiB/s. For further information on the  bandwidth  argument  see
       the corresponding section for the blockjob command.

   blockresize
       Syntax:

          blockresize domain path size

       Resize  a  block device of domain while the domain is running, path specifies the absolute
       path of the block device; it corresponds to a unique target name (<target dev='name'/>) or
       source  file  (<source  file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices attached to domain (see
       also domblklist for listing these names).

       size is a scaled integer (see NOTES above) which defaults to KiB (blocks of 1024 bytes) if
       there  is  no suffix.  You must use a suffix of "B" to get bytes (note that for historical
       reasons, this differs from vol-resize which defaults to bytes without a suffix).

   console
       Syntax:

          console domain [devname] [--safe] [--force]

       Connect the virtual serial console for the guest. The optional devname parameter refers to
       the  device  alias  of  an alternate console, serial or parallel device configured for the
       guest.  If omitted, the primary console will be opened.

       If the flag --safe is specified, the connection is only attempted if the  driver  supports
       safe  console handling. This flag specifies that the server has to ensure exclusive access
       to console devices. Optionally the --force flag may be specified, requesting to disconnect
       any existing sessions, such as in a case of a broken connection.

   cpu-stats
       Syntax:

          cpu-stats domain [--total] [start] [count]

       Provide  cpu  statistics information of a domain. The domain should be running. Default it
       shows stats for all CPUs, and a total. Use --total for only the  total  stats,  start  for
       only the per-cpu stats of the CPUs from start, count for only count CPUs' stats.

   create
       Syntax:

          create FILE [--console] [--paused] [--autodestroy]
             [--pass-fds N,M,...] [--validate]

       Create  a  domain  from  an  XML  <file>.  Optionally,  --validate option can be passed to
       validate the format of the input XML file against an internal  RNG  schema  (identical  to
       using  virt-xml-validate(1)  tool).  Domains  created  using  this command are going to be
       either transient (temporary ones that will vanish once destroyed) or  existing  persistent
       domains  that  will  run  with  one-time  use  configuration,  leaving  the persistent XML
       untouched (this can come handy during an automated testing of various  configurations  all
       based on the original XML).  See the example below for usage demonstration.

       The  domain  will  be  paused  if the --paused option is used and supported by the driver;
       otherwise it will be running. If --console is  requested,  attach  to  the  console  after
       creation.   If  --autodestroy is requested, then the guest will be automatically destroyed
       when virsh closes its connection to libvirt, or otherwise exits.

       If --pass-fds is  specified,  the  argument  is  a  comma  separated  list  of  open  file
       descriptors  which  should  be  pass  on  into  the  guest.  The  file descriptors will be
       re-numbered in the guest, starting from 3. This is only  supported  with  container  based
       virtualization.

       Example:

       1. prepare  a  template  from  an existing domain (skip directly to 3a if writing one from
          scratch)

             # virsh dumpxml <domain> > domain.xml

       2. edit the template using an editor of your choice and:

          a. DO CHANGE! <name> and <uuid> (<uuid> can also be removed), or

          b. DON'T CHANGE! either <name> or <uuid>

             # $EDITOR domain.xml

       3. create a domain from domain.xml, depending on whether following 2a or 2b respectively:

          a. the domain is going to be transient

          b. an existing persistent domain will run with a modified one-time configuration

             # virsh create domain.xml

   define
       Syntax:

          define FILE [--validate]

       Define a domain from an XML <file>. Optionally, the format of the input XML  file  can  be
       validated   against   an   internal   RNG  schema  with  --validate  (identical  to  using
       virt-xml-validate(1) tool). The domain definition  is  registered  but  not  started.   If
       domain is already running, the changes will take effect on the next boot.

   desc
       Syntax:

          desc domain [[--live] [--config] |
             [--current]] [--title] [--edit] [--new-desc
             New description or title message]

       Show  or modify description and title of a domain. These values are user fields that allow
       storing arbitrary textual data to allow easy identification of domains.  Title  should  be
       short,  although  it's  not enforced.  (See also metadata that works with XML based domain
       metadata.)

       Flags --live or  --config  select  whether  this  command  works  on  live  or  persistent
       definitions  of the domain. If both --live and --config are specified, the --config option
       takes precedence on getting the current description and both live configuration and config
       are  updated  while setting the description. --current is exclusive and implied if none of
       these was specified.

       Flag --edit specifies that an editor with the contents of  current  description  or  title
       should be opened and the contents saved back afterwards.

       Flag --title selects operation on the title field instead of description.

       If  neither  of  --edit  and --new-desc are specified the note or description is displayed
       instead of being modified.

   destroy
       Syntax:

          destroy domain [--graceful]

       Immediately terminate the domain domain.  This doesn't give the domain OS  any  chance  to
       react,  and  it's  the equivalent of ripping the power cord out on a physical machine.  In
       most cases you will want to use the shutdown command  instead.   However,  this  does  not
       delete  any  storage volumes used by the guest, and if the domain is persistent, it can be
       restarted later.

       If domain is transient, then the metadata of any snapshots will be  lost  once  the  guest
       stops  running, but the snapshot contents still exist, and a new domain with the same name
       and UUID can restore the snapshot metadata with snapshot-create.  Similarly, the  metadata
       of any checkpoints will be lost, but can be restored with checkpoint-create.

       If --graceful is specified, don't resort to extreme measures (e.g. SIGKILL) when the guest
       doesn't stop after a reasonable timeout; return an error instead.

   domblkerror
       Syntax:

          domblkerror domain

       Show errors on block devices.  This command usually comes handy when domstate command says
       that  a  domain  was  paused  due  to  I/O error.  The domblkerror command lists all block
       devices in error state and the error seen on each of them.

   domblkinfo
       Syntax:

          domblkinfo domain [block-device --all] [--human]

       Get block device size info for a domain.  A block-device corresponds to  a  unique  target
       name  (<target  dev='name'/>)  or  source file (<source file='name'/>) for one of the disk
       devices attached to domain (see also domblklist for listing these names).  If  --human  is
       set,  the output will have a human readable output.  If --all is set, the output will be a
       table showing all block devices size info associated with domain.  The --all option  takes
       precedence of the others.

   domblklist
       Syntax:

          domblklist domain [--inactive] [--details]

       Print  a  table showing the brief information of all block devices associated with domain.
       If --inactive is specified, query the block devices that will be used on  the  next  boot,
       rather  than  those  currently in use by a running domain. If --details is specified, disk
       type and device value will also be printed. Other contexts that  require  a  block  device
       name  (such as domblkinfo or snapshot-create for disk snapshots) will accept either target
       or unique source names printed by this command.

   domblkstat
       Syntax:

          domblkstat domain [block-device] [--human]

       Get device block stats for a running domain.   A  block-device  corresponds  to  a  unique
       target  name  (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source file='name'/>) for one of the
       disk devices attached to domain (see also domblklist for listing these names). On a LXC or
       QEMU  domain, omitting the block-device yields device block stats summarily for the entire
       domain.

       Use --human for a more human readable output.

       Availability of these fields depends on hypervisor. Unsupported fields  are  missing  from
       the output. Other fields may appear if communicating with a newer version of libvirtd.

       Explanation of fields (fields appear in the following order):

       • rd_req            - count of read operations

       • rd_bytes          - count of read bytes

       • wr_req            - count of write operations

       • wr_bytes          - count of written bytes

       • errs              - error count

       • flush_operations  - count of flush operations

       • rd_total_times    - total time read operations took (ns)

       • wr_total_times    - total time write operations took (ns)

       • flush_total_times - total time flush operations took (ns)

       • <-- other fields provided by hypervisor -->

   domblkthreshold
       Syntax:

          domblkthreshold domain dev threshold

       Set  the  threshold value for delivering the block-threshold event. dev specifies the disk
       device target or backing chain element of  given  device  using  the  'target[1]'  syntax.
       threshold  is  a  scaled value of the offset. If the block device should write beyond that
       offset the event will be delivered.

   domcontrol
       Syntax:

          domcontrol domain

       Returns state of an interface to VMM used to control a domain.  For states other than "ok"
       or  "error"  the command also prints number of seconds elapsed since the control interface
       entered its current state.

   domdisplay
       Syntax:

          domdisplay domain [--include-password] [[--type] type] [--all]

       Output a URI which can be used to connect to the graphical display of the domain via  VNC,
       SPICE  or  RDP.   The  particular  graphical  display  type can be selected using the type
       parameter (e.g. "vnc", "spice", "rdp").  If --include-password  is  specified,  the  SPICE
       channel  password  will  be  included in the URI. If --all is specified, then all show all
       possible graphical displays, for a VM could have more than one graphical displays.

   domfsfreeze
       Syntax:

          domfsfreeze domain [[--mountpoint] mountpoint...]

       Freeze mounted filesystems within a running domain to prepare for consistent snapshots.

       The --mountpoint option takes a parameter mountpoint, which is a mount point path  of  the
       filesystem  to  be frozen. This option can occur multiple times. If this is not specified,
       every mounted filesystem is frozen.

       Note: snapshot-create command has a --quiesce option to freeze and  thaw  the  filesystems
       automatically  to  keep  snapshots  consistent.  domfsfreeze command is only needed when a
       user wants to utilize the native snapshot features of storage  devices  not  supported  by
       libvirt.

   domfsinfo
       Syntax:

          domfsinfo domain

       Show  a  list  of  mounted  filesystems  within  the  running  domain.  The  list contains
       mountpoints, names of a mounted device in the guest, filesystem types, and  unique  target
       names used in the domain XML (<target dev='name'/>).

       Note that this command requires a guest agent configured and running in the domain's guest
       OS.

   domfsthaw
       Syntax:

          domfsthaw domain [[--mountpoint] mountpoint...]

       Thaw mounted filesystems within a running domain, which have been  frozen  by  domfsfreeze
       command.

       The  --mountpoint  option takes a parameter mountpoint, which is a mount point path of the
       filesystem to be thawed. This option can occur multiple times. If this is  not  specified,
       every mounted filesystem is thawed.

   domfstrim
       Syntax:

          domfstrim domain [--minimum bytes] [--mountpoint mountPoint]

       Issue  a  fstrim  command  on all mounted filesystems within a running domain. It discards
       blocks which are not in use by the filesystem.  If --minimum bytes is specified, it  tells
       guest  kernel length of contiguous free range. Smaller than this may be ignored (this is a
       hint and the guest may not respect it). By increasing this  value,  the  fstrim  operation
       will  complete more quickly for filesystems with badly fragmented free space, although not
       all blocks will be discarded.  The default value is  zero,  meaning  "discard  every  free
       block".  Moreover,  if  a user wants to trim only one mount point, it can be specified via
       optional --mountpoint parameter.

   domhostname
       Syntax:

          domhostname domain

       Returns the hostname of a domain, if the hypervisor makes it available.

   domid
       Syntax:

          domid domain-name-or-uuid

       Convert a domain name (or UUID) to a domain id

   domif
       Syntax:

          domif-getlink domain interface-device [--config]

       Query link state of the domain's virtual interface. If --config is  specified,  query  the
       persistent configuration, for compatibility purposes, --persistent is alias of --config.

       interface-device can be the interface's target name or the MAC address.

   domif
       Syntax:

          domif-setlink domain interface-device state [--config]

       Modify  link  state  of the domain's virtual interface. Possible values for state are "up"
       and "down". If --config is specified, only the persistent configuration of the  domain  is
       modified, for compatibility purposes, --persistent is alias of --config.  interface-device
       can be the interface's target name or the MAC address.

   domifaddr
       Syntax:

          domifaddr domain [interface] [--full]
             [--source lease|agent|arp]

       Get a list of interfaces of a running domain along with their IP  and  MAC  addresses,  or
       limited  output  just for one interface if interface is specified. Note that interface can
       be driver dependent, it can be the name within guest OS or  the  name  you  would  see  in
       domain XML. Moreover, the whole command may require a guest agent to be configured for the
       queried domain under some hypervisors, notably QEMU.

       If --full is specified, the interface name and MAC address is always  displayed  when  the
       interface has multiple IP addresses or aliases; otherwise, only the interface name and MAC
       address is displayed for the first name and MAC address with "-" for the others using  the
       same name and MAC address.

       The  --source  argument  specifies  what  data  source to use for the addresses, currently
       'lease' to read DHCP leases, 'agent' to query the guest OS via an agent, or 'arp'  to  get
       IP from host's arp tables.  If unspecified, 'lease' is the default.

   backup-begin
       Syntax:

          backup-begin domain [backupxml] [checkpointxml] [--reuse-external]

       Begin  a  new  backup job. If backupxml is omitted, this defaults to a full backup using a
       push model to filenames generated by libvirt; supplying XML  allows  fine-tuning  such  as
       requesting  an  incremental  backup  relative  to an earlier checkpoint, controlling which
       disks participate or which filenames are involved, or requesting the use of a  pull  model
       backup.   The  backup-dumpxml  command shows any resulting values assigned by libvirt. For
       more information on backup XML, see: https://libvirt.org/formatbackup.html

       If --reuse-external is used it instructs libvirt  to  reuse  temporary  and  output  files
       provided by the user in backupxml.

       If  checkpointxml is specified, a second file with a top-level element of domaincheckpoint
       is used to create a simultaneous checkpoint, for doing a later incremental backup relative
       to the time the backup was created. See checkpoint-create for more details on checkpoints.

       This  command  returns as soon as possible, and the backup job runs in the background; the
       progress of a push model backup can be checked with domjobinfo or by waiting for an  event
       with  event  (the  progress  of a pull model backup is under the control of whatever third
       party connects to the NBD export). The job is ended with domjobabort.

   backup-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          backup-dumpxml domain

       Output XML describing the current backup job.

   domiflist
       Syntax:

          domiflist domain [--inactive]

       Print a table showing the brief information of  all  virtual  interfaces  associated  with
       domain.  If --inactive is specified, query the virtual interfaces that will be used on the
       next boot, rather than those currently in use by a running  domain.  Other  contexts  that
       require  a  MAC  address  of virtual interface (such as detach-interface or domif-setlink)
       will accept the MAC address printed by this command.

   domifstat
       Syntax:

          domifstat domain interface-device

       Get network interface stats for a running domain. The network  interface  stats  are  only
       available for interfaces that have a physical source interface. This does not include, for
       example, a 'user' interface type since it is a virtual LAN with NAT to the outside  world.
       interface-device can be the interface target by name or MAC address.

   domiftune
       Syntax:

          domiftune domain interface-device [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]
             [*--inbound average,peak,burst,floor*]
             [*--outbound average,peak,burst*]

       Set  or query the domain's network interface's bandwidth parameters.  interface-device can
       be the interface's target name (<target dev='name'/>), or the MAC address.

       If no --inbound or --outbound is specified, this command will query and show the bandwidth
       settings.    Otherwise,    it    will    set    the   inbound   or   outbound   bandwidth.
       average,peak,burst,floor is the same as in command attach-interface.  Values for  average,
       peak  and  floor  are  expressed  in  kilobytes  per  second,  while burst is expressed in
       kilobytes in a single burst at peak speed as described in the Network XML documentation at
       https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#elementQoS.

       To  clear  inbound  or  outbound  settings,  use --inbound or --outbound respectfully with
       average value of zero.

       If --live is specified, affect a running guest.  If --config is specified, affect the next
       boot  of  a  persistent guest.  If --current is specified, affect the current guest state.
       Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.  If  no  flag  is
       specified, behavior is different depending on hypervisor.

   dominfo
       Syntax:

          dominfo domain

       Returns basic information about the domain.

   domjobabort
       Syntax:

          domjobabort domain

       Abort the currently running domain job.

   domjobinfo
       Syntax:

          domjobinfo domain [--completed [--keep-completed]] [--anystats] [--rawstats]

       Returns  information  about  jobs  running  on a domain. --completed tells virsh to return
       information about a recently finished job. Statistics of a completed job are automatically
       destroyed once read (unless --keep-completed is used) or when libvirtd is restarted.

       Normally   only  statistics  for  running  and  successful  completed  jobs  are  printed.
       --anystats can be used to also display statistics for failed jobs.

       In case --rawstats is used, all fields are printed as received from the server without any
       attempts  to  interpret the data. The "Job type:" field is special, since it's reported by
       the API and not part of stats.

       Note that time information returned for completed migrations may be completely  irrelevant
       unless  both  source  and  destination  hosts  have synchronized time (i.e., NTP daemon is
       running on both of them).

   dommemstat
       Syntax:

          dommemstat domain [--period seconds] [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Get memory stats for a running domain.

       Availability of these fields depends on hypervisor. Unsupported fields  are  missing  from
       the output. Other fields may appear if communicating with a newer version of libvirtd.

       Explanation of fields:

       • swap_in           - The amount of data read from swap space (in KiB)

       • swap_out          - The amount of memory written out to swap space (in KiB)

       • major_fault       - The number of page faults where disk IO was required

       • minor_fault       - The number of other page faults

       • unused            - The amount of memory left unused by the system (in KiB)

       • available         - The amount of usable memory as seen by the domain (in KiB)

       • actual            - Current balloon value (in KiB)

       • rss               - Resident Set Size of the running domain's process (in KiB)

       • usable             -  The  amount  of  memory  which can be reclaimed by balloon without
         causing host swapping (in KiB)

       • last-update       - Timestamp of the last update of statistics (in seconds)

       • disk_caches       - The amount of memory that can be reclaimed without  additional  I/O,
         typically disk caches (in KiB)

       • hugetlb_pgalloc   - The number of successful huge page allocations initiated from within
         the domain

       • hugetlb_pgfail    - The number of failed huge page allocations initiated from within the
         domain

       For QEMU/KVM with a memory balloon, setting the optional --period to a value larger than 0
       in seconds will allow the balloon driver to return additional  statistics  which  will  be
       displayed  by  subsequent  dommemstat  commands.  Setting  the --period to 0 will stop the
       balloon driver collection, but does not  clear  the  statistics  in  the  balloon  driver.
       Requires at least QEMU/KVM 1.5 to be running on the host.

       The --live, --config, and --current flags are only valid when using the --period option in
       order to set the collection period for the balloon driver. If --live  is  specified,  only
       the running guest collection period is affected. If --config is specified, affect the next
       boot of a persistent guest. If --current is specified, affect the current guest state.

       Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.  If  no  flag  is
       specified, behavior is different depending on the guest state.

   domname
       Syntax:

          domname domain-id-or-uuid

       Convert a domain Id (or UUID) to domain name

   dompmsuspend
       Syntax:

          dompmsuspend domain target [--duration]

       Suspend a running domain into one of these states (possible target values):

       • mem - equivalent of S3 ACPI state

       • disk - equivalent of S4 ACPI state

       • hybrid - RAM is saved to disk but not powered off

       The --duration argument specifies number of seconds before the domain is woken up after it
       was suspended (see also dompmwakeup). Default is  0  for  unlimited  suspend  time.  (This
       feature isn't currently supported by any hypervisor driver and 0 should be used.).

       Note that this command requires a guest agent configured and running in the domain's guest
       OS.

       Beware that at least for QEMU, the domain's process will be terminated when target disk is
       used  and a new process will be launched when libvirt is asked to wake up the domain. As a
       result of this, any runtime changes, such as device hotplug or memory settings,  are  lost
       unless such changes were made with --config flag.

   dompmwakeup
       Syntax:

          dompmwakeup domain

       Wakeup a domain from pmsuspended state (either suspended by dompmsuspend or from the guest
       itself). Injects a wakeup into the guest that is in pmsuspended state, rather than waiting
       for  the  previously  requested  duration  (if  any) to elapse. This operation doesn't not
       necessarily fail if the domain is running.

   domrename
       Syntax:

          domrename domain new-name

       Rename a domain. This command changes current domain name to the new name specified in the
       second argument.

       Note: Domain must be inactive and without snapshots or checkpoints.

   domstate
       Syntax:

          domstate domain [--reason]

       Returns state about a domain.  --reason tells virsh to also print reason for the state.

   domstats
       Syntax:

          domstats [--raw] [--enforce] [--backing] [--nowait] [--state]
             [--cpu-total] [--balloon] [--vcpu] [--interface]
             [--block] [--perf] [--iothread] [--memory]
             [[--list-active] [--list-inactive]
              [--list-persistent] [--list-transient] [--list-running]y
              [--list-paused] [--list-shutoff] [--list-other]] | [domain ...]

       Get  statistics  for multiple or all domains. Without any argument this command prints all
       available statistics for all domains.

       The list of domains to gather stats for can be either limited by listing the domains as  a
       space  separated  list,  or  by  specifying  one  of  the filtering flags --list-NNN. (The
       approaches can't be combined.)

       By default some of the returned fields may be converted to more human friendly values by a
       set of pretty-printers. To suppress this behavior use the --raw flag.

       The  individual  statistics  groups  are  selectable  via  specific  flags. By default all
       supported statistics groups are returned. Supported statistics groups flags are:  --state,
       --cpu-total, --balloon, --vcpu, --interface, --block, --perf, --iothread, --memory.

       Note  that - depending on the hypervisor type and version or the domain state - not all of
       the following statistics may be returned.

       When selecting the --state group the following fields are returned:

       • state.state - state of the VM, returned as number from virDomainState enum

       • state.reason - reason for entering given state, returned as  int  from  virDomain*Reason
         enum corresponding to given state

       --cpu-total returns:

       • cpu.time - total cpu time spent for this domain in nanoseconds

       • cpu.user - user cpu time spent in nanoseconds

       • cpu.cache.monitor.<num>.bank.<index>.bytes - the number of bytes  of  last  level  cache
         that the domain is using on cache bank <index>

       --balloon returns:

       • balloon.current - the memory in KiB currently used

       • balloon.maximum - the maximum memory in KiB allowed

       • balloon.swap_in - the amount of data read from swap space (in KiB)

       • balloon.swap_out - the amount of memory written out to swap space (in KiB)

       • balloon.major_fault - the number of page faults then disk IO was required

       • balloon.minor_fault - the number of other page faults

       • balloon.available - the amount of usable memory as seen by the domain (in KiB)

       • balloon.rss - Resident Set Size of running domain's process (in KiB)

       • balloon.usable  - the amount of memory which can be reclaimed by balloon without causing
         host swapping (in KiB)

       --vcpu returns:

       • vcpu.current - current number of online virtual CPUs

       • vcpu.maximum - maximum number of online virtual CPUs

       • vcpu.<num>.state - state of the virtual CPU <num>, as number from virVcpuState enum

       • vcpu.<num>.time - virtual cpu time spent by virtual CPU <num> (in microseconds)

       • vcpu.<num>.wait  -  virtual  cpu  time  spent  by  virtual  CPU <num> waiting on I/O (in
         microseconds)

       • vcpu.<num>.halted - virtual CPU <num> is halted: yes or no (may indicate  the  processor
         is idle or even disabled, depending on the architecture)

       --interface returns:

       • net.count - number of network interfaces on this domain

       • net.<num>.name - name of the interface <num>

       • net.<num>.rx.bytes - number of bytes received

       See the perf command for more details about each event.

       --block  returns information about disks associated with each domain.  Using the --backing
       flag extends this information to cover all resources in the backing chain, rather than the
       default  of  limiting  information  to  the active layer for each guest disk.  Information
       listed includes:

       • block.count - number of block devices being listed

       • block.<num>.name - name of the target of the block  device  <num>  (the  same  name  for
         multiple entries if --backing is present)

       • block.<num>.backingIndex - when --backing is present, matches up with the <backingStore>
         index listed in domain XML for backing files

       • block.<num>.path - file source of block device <num>, if it is a  local  file  or  block
         device

       • block.<num>.rd.reqs - number of read requests

       • block.<num>.rd.bytes - number of read bytes

       • block.<num>.wr.bytes - number of written bytes

       • block.<num>.wr.times - total time (ns) spent on writes

       • block.<num>.fl.reqs - total flush requests

       • block.<num>.fl.times - total time (ns) spent on cache flushing

       • block.<num>.errors - Xen only: the 'oo_req' value

       • block.<num>.allocation - offset of highest written sector in bytes

       • block.<num>.capacity - logical size of source file in bytes

       • block.<num>.physical - physical size of source file in bytes

       • block.<num>.threshold     -     threshold     (in     bytes)    for    delivering    the
         VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_BLOCK_THRESHOLD event. See domblkthreshold.

       --iothread returns information about IOThreads on the running guest if  supported  by  the
       hypervisor.

       The  "poll-max-ns"  for  each  thread  is  the  maximum  nanoseconds to allow each polling
       interval to occur. A polling interval is a period of time allowed for a thread to  process
       data  before  being  the  guest gives up its CPU quantum back to the host. A value set too
       small will not allow the IOThread to run long enough on a CPU to process data. A value set
       too  high  will  consume  too  much  CPU  time per IOThread failing to allow other threads
       running on the CPU to get time. The polling interval  is  not  available  for  statistical
       purposes.

       • iothread.<id>.poll-max-ns  -  maximum  polling  time  in  nanoseconds  used  by the <id>
         IOThread. A value of 0 (zero) indicates polling is disabled.

       • iothread.<id>.poll-grow - polling time grow value. A value of 0 (zero) growth is managed
         by the hypervisor.

       • iothread.<id>.poll-shrink  -  polling  time  shrink  value.  A value of (zero) indicates
         shrink is managed by hypervisor.

       --memory returns:

       • memory.bandwidth.monitor.count - the number of memory bandwidth monitors for this domain

       • memory.bandwidth.monitor.<num>.name  - the name of monitor <num>

       • memory.bandwidth.monitor.<num>.vcpus - the vcpu list of monitor <num>

       •

         memory.bandwidth.monitor.<num>.node.count - the number of memory
                controller in monitor <num>

       • memory.bandwidth.monitor.<num>.node.<index>.id - host allocated memory controller id for
         controller <index> of monitor <num>

       • memory.bandwidth.monitor.<num>.node.<index>.bytes.local   -   the   accumulative   bytes
         consumed by @vcpus that passing through the memory controller in the same processor that
         the scheduled host CPU belongs to.

       • memory.bandwidth.monitor.<num>.node.<index>.bytes.total  -  the  total bytes consumed by
         @vcpus that passing through all memory controllers, either local or remote controller.

       Selecting a specific statistics groups doesn't guarantee  that  the  daemon  supports  the
       selected  group  of stats. Flag --enforce forces the command to fail if the daemon doesn't
       support the selected group.

       When collecting stats libvirtd may wait for some  time  if  there's  already  another  job
       running  on given domain for it to finish.  This may cause unnecessary delay in delivering
       stats. Using --nowait suppresses this behaviour. On the other hand some  statistics  might
       be missing for such domain.

   domtime
       Syntax:

          domtime domain { [--now] [--pretty] [--sync] [--time time] }

       Gets  or  sets  the domain's system time. When run without any arguments (but domain), the
       current domain's system time is printed out. The --pretty modifier can be  used  to  print
       the time in more human readable form.

       When  --time time is specified, the domain's time is not gotten but set instead. The --now
       modifier acts like if it was an alias for --time $now, which means it sets the  time  that
       is currently on the host virsh is running at. In both cases (setting and getting), time is
       in seconds relative to Epoch of 1970-01-01 in UTC.  The --sync modifies the set behavior a
       bit:  The  time  passed is ignored, but the time to set is read from domain's RTC instead.
       Please note, that some hypervisors may require a guest agent to be configured in order  to
       get or set the guest time.

   domuuid
       Syntax:

          domuuid domain-name-or-id

       Convert a domain name or id to domain UUID

   domxml
       Syntax:

          domxml-from-native format config

       Convert  the  file  config  in  the native guest configuration format named by format to a
       domain XML format. For QEMU/KVM hypervisor, the format argument must be qemu-argv. For Xen
       hypervisor,  the  format  argument may be xen-xm, xen-xl, or xen-sxpr. For LXC hypervisor,
       the format argument must be lxc-tools. For VMware/ESX hypervisor, the format argument must
       be vmware-vmx.  For the Bhyve hypervisor, the format argument must be bhyve-argv.

   domxml
       Syntax:

          domxml-to-native format { [--xml] xml | --domain domain-name-or-id-or-uuid }

       Convert  the file xml into domain XML format or convert an existing --domain to the native
       guest configuration format named by format.  The xml and --domain arguments  are  mutually
       exclusive. For the types of format argument, refer to domxml-from-native.

   dump
       Syntax:

          dump domain corefilepath [--bypass-cache]
             { [--live] | [--crash] | [--reset] }
             [--verbose] [--memory-only] [--format string]

       Dumps  the  core  of  a domain to a file for analysis.  If --live is specified, the domain
       continues to run until the core dump is  complete,  rather  than  pausing  up  front.   If
       --crash  is specified, the domain is halted with a crashed status, rather than merely left
       in a paused state.  If --reset is specified, the domain is reset  after  successful  dump.
       Note,  these  three  switches are mutually exclusive.  If --bypass-cache is specified, the
       save will avoid the file system cache, although this may  slow  down  the  operation.   If
       --memory-only  is  specified,  the file is elf file, and will only include domain's memory
       and cpu common register value. It is very useful if the domain uses host devices directly.
       --format string is used to specify the format of 'memory-only' dump, and string can be one
       of    them:    elf,    kdump-zlib(kdump-compressed    format    with     zlib-compressed),
       kdump-lzo(kdump-compressed   format  with  lzo-compressed),  kdump-snappy(kdump-compressed
       format with snappy-compressed).

       The progress may be monitored using domjobinfo virsh command and canceled with domjobabort
       command  (sent  by another virsh instance). Another option is to send SIGINT (usually with
       Ctrl-C) to the virsh process running dump command.  --verbose  displays  the  progress  of
       dump.

       NOTE:  Some hypervisors may require the user to manually ensure proper permissions on file
       and path specified by argument corefilepath.

       NOTE: Crash dump in a old kvmdump format is  being  obsolete  and  cannot  be  loaded  and
       processed  by crash utility since its version 6.1.0. A --memory-only option is required in
       order to produce valid ELF file which can be later processed by the crash utility.

   dumpxml
       Syntax:

          dumpxml domain [--inactive] [--security-info] [--update-cpu] [--migratable]

       Output the domain information as an XML dump to stdout, this format can  be  used  by  the
       create  command.  Additional  options affecting the XML dump may be used. --inactive tells
       virsh to dump domain configuration that will be used  on  next  start  of  the  domain  as
       opposed  to  the  current  domain  configuration.  Using --security-info will also include
       security  sensitive  information  in  the  XML  dump.  --update-cpu  updates  domain   CPU
       requirements  according  to  host  CPU.  With  --migratable one can request an XML that is
       suitable for migrations, i.e., compatible with older libvirt releases and possibly amended
       with  internal  run-time  options.  This  option  may  automatically  enable other options
       (--update-cpu, --security-info, ...) as necessary.

   edit
       Syntax:

          edit domain

       Edit the XML configuration file for a domain, which will  affect  the  next  boot  of  the
       guest.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh dumpxml --inactive --security-info domain > domain.xml
          vi domain.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh define domain.xml

       except that it does some error checking.

       The  editor  used  can  be  supplied  by the $VISUAL or $EDITOR environment variables, and
       defaults to vi.

   emulatorpin
       Syntax:

          emulatorpin domain [cpulist] [[--live] [--config]  | [--current]]

       Query or change the pinning of domain's emulator threads to host physical CPUs.

       See vcpupin for cpulist.

       If --live is specified, affect a running guest.  If --config is specified, affect the next
       boot  of  a  persistent guest.  If --current is specified, affect the current guest state.
       Both --live and --config flags may be given  if  cpulist  is  present,  but  --current  is
       exclusive.  If no flag is specified, behavior is different depending on hypervisor.

   event
       Syntax:

          event {[domain] { event | --all } [--loop] [--timeout seconds] [--timestamp] | --list}

       Wait  for  a  class  of domain events to occur, and print appropriate details of events as
       they happen.  The events can optionally be filtered by domain.  Using --list as  the  only
       argument  will  provide a list of possible event values known by this client, although the
       connection might not allow registering for all these events.  It is also possible  to  use
       --all instead of event to register for all possible event types at once.

       By  default,  this  command is one-shot, and returns success once an event occurs; you can
       send SIGINT (usually via Ctrl-C) to quit immediately.   If  --timeout  is  specified,  the
       command gives up waiting for events after seconds have elapsed.   With --loop, the command
       prints all events until a timeout or interrupt key.

       When --timestamp is used, a human-readable timestamp will be printed before the event.

   guest
       Syntax:

          guest-agent-timeout domain --timeout value

       Set how long to wait for a response from guest agent commands. By default, agent  commands
       block  forever  waiting  for  a  response.  value must be a positive value (wait for given
       amount of seconds) or one of the following values:

       • -2 - block forever waiting for a result,

       • -1 - reset timeout to the default value,

       • 0 - do not wait at all,

   guestinfo
       Syntax:

          guestinfo domain [--user] [--os] [--timezone] [--hostname] [--filesystem]

       Print information about the guest from the point of view of the guest  agent.   Note  that
       this command requires a guest agent to be configured and running in the domain's guest OS.

       When  run  without  any  arguments,  this  command  prints  all information types that are
       supported by the guest agent. You can limit the types of information that are returned  by
       specifying  one  or  more  flags.   If  a requested information type is not supported, the
       processes will provide an exit code of 1.  Available information types flags  are  --user,
       --os, --timezone, --hostname, and --filesystem.

       Note  that  depending  on  the  hypervisor type and the version of the guest agent running
       within the domain, not all of the following information may be returned.

       When selecting the --user information type, the following fields may be returned:

       • user.count - the number of active users on this domain

       • user.<num>.name - username of user <num>

       • user.<num>.domain - domain of the user <num> (may  only  be  present  on  certain  guets
         types)

       • user.<num>.login-time - the login time of user <num> in milliseconds since the epoch

       --os returns:

       • os.id - a string identifying the operating system

       • os.name - the name of the operating system

       • os.pretty-name - a pretty name for the operating system

       • os.version - the version of the operating system

       • os.version-id - the version id of the operating system

       • os.kernel-release - the release of the operating system kernel

       • os.kernel-version - the version of the operating system kernel

       • os.machine - the machine hardware name

       • os.variant - a specific variant or edition of the operating system

       • os.variant-id - the id for a specific variant or edition of the operating system

       --timezone returns:

       • timezone.name - the name of the timezone

       • timezone.offset - the offset to UTC in seconds

       --hostname returns:

       • hostname - the hostname of the domain

       --filesystem returns:

       • fs.count - the number of filesystems defined on this domain

       • fs.<num>.mountpoint - the path to the mount point for filesystem <num>

       • fs.<num>.name - device name in the guest (e.g. sda1) for filesystem <num>

       • fs.<num>.fstype - the type of filesystem <num>

       • fs.<num>.total-bytes - the total size of filesystem <num>

       • fs.<num>.used-bytes - the number of bytes used in filesystem <num>

       • fs.<num>.disk.count - the number of disks targeted by filesystem <num>

       • fs.<num>.disk.<num>.alias - the device alias of disk <num> (e.g. sda)

       • fs.<num>.disk.<num>.serial - the serial number of disk <num>

       • fs.<num>.disk.<num>.device - the device node of disk <num>

   guestvcpus
       Syntax:

          guestvcpus domain [[--enable] | [--disable]] [cpulist]

       Query  or  change  state  of vCPUs from guest's point of view using the guest agent.  When
       invoked without cpulist the guest is queried for available guest vCPUs,  their  state  and
       possibility to be offlined.

       If cpulist is provided then one of --enable or --disable must be provided too. The desired
       operation is then executed on the domain.

       See vcpupin for information on cpulist.

   iothreadadd
       Syntax:

          iothreadadd domain iothread_id [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Add a new IOThread to the domain using the  specified  iothread_id.   If  the  iothread_id
       already exists, the command will fail. The iothread_id must be greater than zero.

       If  --live  is  specified, affect a running guest. If the guest is not running an error is
       returned.  If --config is specified, affect the next  boot  of  a  persistent  guest.   If
       --current  is specified or --live and --config are not specified, affect the current guest
       state.

   iothreaddel
       Syntax:

          iothreaddel domain iothread_id [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Delete an IOThread from the domain using the specified iothread_id.   If  an  IOThread  is
       currently  assigned  to  a  disk  resource  such  as via the attach-disk command, then the
       attempt to remove the IOThread will fail.  If the iothread_id does not exist an error will
       occur.

       If  --live  is  specified, affect a running guest. If the guest is not running an error is
       returned.  If --config is specified, affect the next  boot  of  a  persistent  guest.   If
       --current  is specified or --live and --config are not specified, affect the current guest
       state.

   iothreadinfo
       Syntax:

          iothreadinfo domain [[--live] [--config] | [--current]]

       Display basic domain IOThreads information including the IOThread ID and the CPU  Affinity
       for each IOThread.

       If --live is specified, get the IOThreads data from the running guest. If the guest is not
       running, an error is returned.  If --config is specified, get the IOThreads data from  the
       next boot of a persistent guest.  If --current is specified or --live and --config are not
       specified, then get the IOThread data based on the current guest state.

   iothreadpin
       Syntax:

          iothreadpin domain iothread cpulist [[--live] [--config] | [--current]]

       Change the pinning of a domain IOThread to host physical CPUs. In order to retrieve a list
       of all IOThreads, use iothreadinfo. To pin an iothread specify the cpulist desired for the
       IOThread ID as listed in the iothreadinfo output.

       cpulist is a list of physical CPU numbers. Its syntax is a  comma  separated  list  and  a
       special  markup  using  '-'  and  '^'  (ex.  '0-4', '0-3,^2') can also be allowed. The '-'
       denotes the range and the '^'  denotes  exclusive.   If  you  want  to  reset  iothreadpin
       setting,  that  is,  to  pin  an  iothread  to  all physical cpus, simply specify 'r' as a
       cpulist.

       If --live is specified, affect a running guest. If the guest is not running, an  error  is
       returned.   If  --config  is  specified,  affect  the next boot of a persistent guest.  If
       --current is specified or --live and --config are not specified, affect the current  guest
       state.   Both  --live and --config flags may be given if cpulist is present, but --current
       is exclusive.  If no flag is specified, behavior is different depending on hypervisor.

       Note: The expression is sequentially evaluated, so "0-15,^8" is identical to "9-14,0-7,15"
       but not identical to "^8,0-15".

   iothreadset
       Syntax:

          iothreadset domain iothread_id [[--poll-max-ns ns] [--poll-grow factor]
             [--poll-shrink divisor]]
             [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Modifies  an  existing  iothread  of  the  domain  using  the  specified  iothread_id. The
       --poll-max-ns provides the maximum polling interval to be allowed for an IOThread  in  ns.
       If  a 0 (zero) is provided, then polling for the IOThread is disabled.  The --poll-grow is
       the factor by which the current polling time will  be  adjusted  in  order  to  reach  the
       maximum polling time. If a 0 (zero) is provided, then the default factor will be used. The
       --poll-shrink is the quotient by which the current polling time will be reduced  in  order
       to  get  below  the  maximum polling interval. If a 0 (zero) is provided, then the default
       quotient will be used. The polling values are purely dynamic for a running guest.  Saving,
       destroying,  stopping,  etc.  the  guest  will  result  in the polling values returning to
       hypervisor defaults at the next start, restore, etc.

       If --live is specified, affect a running guest. If the guest is not running  an  error  is
       returned.   If --current is specified or --live is not specified, then handle as if --live
       was specified.

   managedsave
       Syntax:

          managedsave domain [--bypass-cache] [{--running | --paused}] [--verbose]

       Save and destroy (stop) a running domain, so it can be restarted from the same state at  a
       later  time.   When  the  virsh  start  command  is  next  run  for  the  domain,  it will
       automatically be started from this saved state.  If --bypass-cache is specified, the  save
       will avoid the file system cache, although this may slow down the operation.

       The progress may be monitored using domjobinfo virsh command and canceled with domjobabort
       command (sent by another virsh instance). Another option is to send SIGINT  (usually  with
       Ctrl-C)  to the virsh process running managedsave command. --verbose displays the progress
       of save.

       Normally, starting a managed save will decide between running or paused based on the state
       the  domain  was  in when the save was done; passing either the --running or --paused flag
       will allow overriding which state the start should use.

       The dominfo command can be used to query whether a domain currently has any  managed  save
       image.

   managedsave-define
       Syntax:

          managedsave-define domain xml [{--running | --paused}]

       Update  the  domain  XML  that will be used when domain is later started. The xml argument
       must be a file name containing the alternative XML, with changes only in the host-specific
       portions of the domain XML. For example, it can be used to change disk file paths.

       The managed save image records whether the domain should be started to a running or paused
       state.  Normally, this command does not alter  the  recorded  state;  passing  either  the
       --running or --paused flag will allow overriding which state the start should use.

   managedsave-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          managedsave-dumpxml domain [--security-info]

       Extract  the  domain  XML  that  was  in  effect at the time the saved state file file was
       created with the managedsave command.  Using --security-info will  also  include  security
       sensitive information.

   managedsave-edit
       Syntax:

          managedsave-edit domain [{--running | --paused}]

       Edit  the  XML configuration associated with a saved state file of a domain was created by
       the managedsave command.

       The managed save image records whether the domain should be started to a running or paused
       state.   Normally,  this  command  does  not  alter the recorded state; passing either the
       --running or --paused flag will allow overriding which state the restore should use.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh managedsave-dumpxml domain-name > state-file.xml
          vi state-file.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh managedsave-define domain-name state-file-xml

       except that it does some error checking.

       The editor used can be supplied by the  $VISUAL  or  $EDITOR  environment  variables,  and
       defaults to vi.

   managedsave-remove
       Syntax:

          managedsave-remove domain

       Remove  the  managedsave  state  file for a domain, if it exists.  This ensures the domain
       will do a full boot the next time it is started.

   maxvcpus
       Syntax:

          maxvcpus [type]

       Provide the maximum number of virtual CPUs supported for a guest VM  on  this  connection.
       If provided, the type parameter must be a valid type attribute for the <domain> element of
       XML.

   memtune
       Syntax:

          memtune domain [--hard-limit size] [--soft-limit size] [--swap-hard-limit size]
             [--min-guarantee size] [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Allows you to display or set the domain memory  parameters.  Without  flags,  the  current
       settings are displayed; with a flag, the appropriate limit is adjusted if supported by the
       hypervisor.  LXC and QEMU/KVM support --hard-limit, --soft-limit,  and  --swap-hard-limit.
       --min-guarantee  is  supported  only  by  ESX hypervisor.  Each of these limits are scaled
       integers (see NOTES above), with a default of kibibytes  (blocks  of  1024  bytes)  if  no
       suffix  is present. Libvirt rounds up to the nearest kibibyte.  Some hypervisors require a
       larger granularity than KiB, and requests that are not an even multiple  will  be  rounded
       up.  For example, vSphere/ESX rounds the parameter up to mebibytes (1024 kibibytes).

       If --live is specified, affect a running guest.  If --config is specified, affect the next
       boot of a persistent guest.  If --current is specified, affect the  current  guest  state.
       Both  --live  and  --config  flags may be given, but --current is exclusive. If no flag is
       specified, behavior is different depending on hypervisor.

       For QEMU/KVM, the parameters are applied to the QEMU  process  as  a  whole.   Thus,  when
       counting them, one needs to add up guest RAM, guest video RAM, and some memory overhead of
       QEMU itself.  The last piece is hard to determine so one needs guess and try.

       For LXC, the displayed hard_limit value is the current memory setting from the XML or  the
       results from a virsh setmem command.

       • --hard-limit

         The maximum memory the guest can use.

       • --soft-limit

         The memory limit to enforce during memory contention.

       • --swap-hard-limit

         The  maximum  memory  plus  swap the guest can use.  This has to be more than hard-limit
         value provided.

       • --min-guarantee

         The guaranteed minimum memory allocation for the guest.

       Specifying -1 as a value for these limits is interpreted as unlimited.

   metadata
       Syntax:

          metadata domain [[--live] [--config] | [--current]]
             [--edit] [uri] [key] [set] [--remove]

       Show or modify custom XML metadata of a domain. The metadata is a user  defined  XML  that
       allows  storing  arbitrary  XML  data  in the domain definition.  Multiple separate custom
       metadata pieces can be stored in the domain XML.  The pieces are identified by  a  private
       XML  namespace  provided  via  the  uri  argument.  (See also desc that works with textual
       metadata of a domain.)

       Flags --live or  --config  select  whether  this  command  works  on  live  or  persistent
       definitions  of the domain. If both --live and --config are specified, the --config option
       takes precedence on getting the current description and both live configuration and config
       are  updated  while setting the description. --current is exclusive and implied if none of
       these was specified.

       Flag --remove specifies that the metadata element specified by the uri argument should  be
       removed rather than updated.

       Flag  --edit  specifies  that  an  editor with the metadata identified by the uri argument
       should be opened and the contents saved back afterwards.  Otherwise the new  contents  can
       be provided via the set argument.

       When  setting metadata via --edit or set the key argument must be specified and is used to
       prefix the custom elements to bind them to the private namespace.

       If neither of --edit and set are specified the  XML  metadata  corresponding  to  the  uri
       namespace is displayed instead of being modified.

   migrate
       Syntax:

          migrate [--live] [--offline] [--direct] [--p2p [--tunnelled]]
             [--persistent] [--undefinesource] [--suspend] [--copy-storage-all]
             [--copy-storage-inc] [--change-protection] [--unsafe] [--verbose]
             [--rdma-pin-all] [--abort-on-error] [--postcopy] [--postcopy-after-precopy]
             domain desturi [migrateuri] [graphicsuri] [listen-address] [dname]
             [--timeout seconds [--timeout-suspend | --timeout-postcopy]]
             [--xml file] [--migrate-disks disk-list] [--disks-port port]
             [--compressed] [--comp-methods method-list]
             [--comp-mt-level] [--comp-mt-threads] [--comp-mt-dthreads]
             [--comp-xbzrle-cache] [--auto-converge] [auto-converge-initial]
             [auto-converge-increment] [--persistent-xml file] [--tls]
             [--postcopy-bandwidth bandwidth]
             [--parallel [--parallel-connections connections]]
             [--bandwidth bandwidth] [--tls-destination hostname]

       Migrate  domain  to  another host.  Add --live for live migration; <--p2p> for peer-2-peer
       migration;  --direct  for  direct  migration;  or  --tunnelled  for  tunnelled  migration.
       --offline  migrates  domain  definition  without  starting  the  domain on destination and
       without stopping it on source host.  Offline migration may be used with  inactive  domains
       and  it  must be used with --persistent option.  --persistent leaves the domain persistent
       on destination host, --undefinesource  undefines  the  domain  on  the  source  host,  and
       --suspend  leaves the domain paused on the destination host.  --copy-storage-all indicates
       migration with non-shared  storage  with  full  disk  copy,  --copy-storage-inc  indicates
       migration  with  non-shared  storage with incremental copy (same base image shared between
       source and destination).  In both cases the disk images have to exist on destination host,
       the  --copy-storage-...  options  only  tell  libvirt  to transfer data from the images on
       source host to the images found at the same place on the destination host. By default only
       non-shared  non-readonly images are transferred. Use --migrate-disks to explicitly specify
       a  list  of  disk  targets  to  transfer  via  the  comma  separated  disk-list  argument.
       --change-protection  enforces  that  no incompatible configuration changes will be made to
       the domain while the migration is underway; this flag is implicitly enabled when supported
       by  the  hypervisor,  but can be explicitly used to reject the migration if the hypervisor
       lacks  change  protection  support.   --verbose  displays  the  progress   of   migration.
       --abort-on-error  cancels  the  migration  if a soft error (for example I/O error) happens
       during the migration. --postcopy enables  post-copy  logic  in  migration,  but  does  not
       actually  start post-copy, i.e., migration is started in pre-copy mode.  Once migration is
       running, the user may switch to post-copy using the  migrate-postcopy  command  sent  from
       another  virsh  instance  or  use  --postcopy-after-precopy  along  with --postcopy to let
       libvirt automatically switch to post-copy after the first pass of  pre-copy  is  finished.
       The   maximum  bandwidth  consumed  during  the  post-copy  phase  may  be  limited  using
       --postcopy-bandwidth. The maximum bandwidth consumed during  the  pre-copy  phase  may  be
       limited using --bandwidth.

       --auto-converge forces convergence during live migration. The initial guest CPU throttling
       rate can be set with auto-converge-initial. If the initial throttling rate is  not  enough
       to ensure convergence, the rate is periodically increased by auto-converge-increment.

       --rdma-pin-all can be used with RDMA migration (i.e., when migrateuri starts with rdma://)
       to tell the hypervisor to pin all domain's memory at once before migration  starts  rather
       than  letting  it pin memory pages as needed. For QEMU/KVM this requires hard_limit memory
       tuning element (in the domain XML) to be used and set to the maximum memory configured for
       the  domain  plus  any  memory  consumed by the QEMU process itself. Beware of setting the
       memory limit too high (and thus allowing the domain to lock most of  the  host's  memory).
       Doing  so  may be dangerous to both the domain and the host itself since the host's kernel
       may run out of memory.

       Note: Individual hypervisors usually do not support all possible types of  migration.  For
       example, QEMU does not support direct migration.

       In  some  cases  libvirt  may  refuse  to  migrate the domain because doing so may lead to
       potential problems such as data corruption, and thus the migration is  considered  unsafe.
       For QEMU domain, this may happen if the domain uses disks without explicitly setting cache
       mode to "none". Migrating such domains is unsafe unless the  disk  images  are  stored  on
       coherent clustered filesystem, such as GFS2 or GPFS. If you are sure the migration is safe
       or you just do not care, use --unsafe to force the migration.

       dname is used for renaming the domain to new name during migration, which also usually can
       be  omitted.   Likewise,  --xml  file  is  usually  omitted,  but can be used to supply an
       alternative XML file for use on the destination to supply a larger set of changes  to  any
       host-specific  portions  of  the  domain  XML,  such  as accounting for naming differences
       between source and destination  in  accessing  underlying  storage.   If  --persistent  is
       enabled, --persistent-xml file can be used to supply an alternative XML file which will be
       used as the persistent domain definition on the destination host.

       --timeout seconds tells virsh to run a specified action when live migration  exceeds  that
       many  seconds.   It  can only be used with --live.  If --timeout-suspend is specified, the
       domain will be suspended after the timeout and the migration will complete  offline;  this
       is  the  default  if  no  --timeout-\``  option  is  specified  on the command line.  When
       *--timeout-postcopy is used, virsh will switch migration from pre-copy to  post-copy  upon
       timeout; migration has to be started with --postcopy option for this to work.

       --compressed  activates compression, the compression method is chosen with --comp-methods.
       Supported methods are "mt" and "xbzrle" and can  be  used  in  any  combination.  When  no
       methods  are  specified,  a  hypervisor  default  methods  will  be used. QEMU defaults to
       "xbzrle". Compression methods can  be  tuned  further.  --comp-mt-level  sets  compression
       level.   Values  are  in  range  from  0  to  9, where 1 is maximum speed and 9 is maximum
       compression. --comp-mt-threads and --comp-mt-dthreads set the number of  compress  threads
       on source and the number of decompress threads on target respectively. --comp-xbzrle-cache
       sets size of page cache in bytes.

       Providing  --tls  causes  the  migration  to  use  the  host  configured  TLS  setup  (see
       migrate_tls_x509_cert_dir  in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf) in order to perform the migration of
       the domain. Usage requires proper TLS setup for both source and target. Normally  the  TLS
       certificate  from the destination host must match +the host's name for TLS verification to
       succeed. When the certificate does not +match the destination hostname  and  the  expected
       certificate's  hostname  is  +known,  --tls-destination  can  be used to pass the expected
       hostname when +starting the migration.

       --parallel option will cause migration data to be sent over multiple parallel connections.
       The  number  of  such  connections  can  be  set  using  --parallel-connections.  Parallel
       connections may help with saturating the network link between the source  and  the  target
       and thus speeding up the migration.

       Running  migration  can  be  canceled  by  interrupting virsh (usually using Ctrl-C) or by
       domjobabort command sent from another virsh instance.

       The desturi and migrateuri parameters  can  be  used  to  control  which  destination  the
       migration  uses.   desturi  is  important  for  managed  migration,  but unused for direct
       migration; migrateuri is required for direct migration, but can usually  be  automatically
       determined for managed migration.

       Note:  The  desturi  parameter  for normal migration and peer2peer migration has different
       semantics:

       • normal migration: the desturi is an address of the target host as seen from  the  client
         machine.

       • peer2peer  migration:  the  desturi  is  an  address of the target host as seen from the
         source machine.

       When migrateuri is not specified, libvirt  will  automatically  determine  the  hypervisor
       specific  URI.   Some  hypervisors,  including  QEMU,  have  an  optional "migration_host"
       configuration parameter (useful when the host has multiple network interfaces).   If  this
       is  unspecified,  libvirt  determines  a  name  by looking up the target host's configured
       hostname.

       There are a few scenarios where specifying migrateuri may help:

       • The configured hostname is incorrect, or DNS is broken.  If a host has a hostname  which
         will  not resolve to match one of its public IP addresses, then libvirt will generate an
         incorrect URI.  In this case migrateuri should be  explicitly  specified,  using  an  IP
         address, or a correct hostname.

       • The host has multiple network interfaces.  If a host has multiple network interfaces, it
         might be desirable for the migration data stream to be sent over  a  specific  interface
         for  either  security  or  performance  reasons.   In  this  case  migrateuri  should be
         explicitly specified, using an IP address associated with the network to be used.

       • The firewall restricts what ports are available.  When  libvirt  generates  a  migration
         URI,  it will pick a port number using hypervisor specific rules.  Some hypervisors only
         require a single port to be open in the firewalls, while others require a whole range of
         port  numbers.   In  the  latter case migrateuri might be specified to choose a specific
         port number outside the default range in order to comply with local firewall policies.

       See https://libvirt.org/migration.html#uris for more details on migration URIs.

       Optional graphicsuri overrides connection parameters used for automatically reconnecting a
       graphical clients at the end of migration. If omitted, libvirt will compute the parameters
       based on target host IP address. In case the client does not have a direct access  to  the
       network  virtualization  hosts  are  connected  to  and  needs to connect through a proxy,
       graphicsuri may be used to specify the address the client should connect to.  The  URI  is
       formed as follows:

          protocol://hostname[:port]/[?parameters]

       where  protocol  is  either "spice" or "vnc" and parameters is a list of protocol specific
       parameters  separated  by  '&'.  Currently  recognized  parameters   are   "tlsPort"   and
       "tlsSubject". For example,

          spice://target.host.com:1234/?tlsPort=4567

       Optional  listen-address  sets  the listen address that hypervisor on the destination side
       should bind to for incoming migration. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are accepted  as  well
       as  hostnames (the resolving is done on destination). Some hypervisors do not support this
       feature and will return an error if this parameter is used.

       Optional disks-port sets the port that hypervisor on destination side should bind  to  for
       incoming disks traffic. Currently it is supported only by QEMU.

   migrate-compcache
       Syntax:

          migrate-compcache domain [--size bytes]

       Sets  and/or gets size of the cache (in bytes) used for compressing repeatedly transferred
       memory pages during live migration. When called without  size,  the  command  just  prints
       current  size of the compression cache. When size is specified, the hypervisor is asked to
       change compression cache to size bytes and then the current size is  printed  (the  result
       may  differ  from  the  requested  size  due to rounding done by the hypervisor). The size
       option is supposed to be used while the domain is being live-migrated  as  a  reaction  to
       migration  progress  and  increasing  number  of  compression  cache  misses obtained from
       domjobinfo.

   migrate-getmaxdowntime
       Syntax:

          migrate-getmaxdowntime domain

       Get the maximum tolerable downtime for a domain which is being  live-migrated  to  another
       host.   This  is  the number of milliseconds the guest is allowed to be down at the end of
       live migration.

   migrate-getspeed
       Syntax:

          migrate-getspeed domain [--postcopy]

       Get the maximum migration bandwidth (in MiB/s) for a domain. If the --postcopy  option  is
       specified, the command will get the maximum bandwidth allowed during a post-copy migration
       phase.

   migrate-postcopy
       Syntax:

          migrate-postcopy domain

       Switch the current migration from pre-copy to post-copy. This  is  only  supported  for  a
       migration started with --postcopy option.

   migrate-setmaxdowntime
       Syntax:

          migrate-setmaxdowntime domain downtime

       Set  maximum tolerable downtime for a domain which is being live-migrated to another host.
       The downtime is a number of milliseconds the guest is allowed to be down  at  the  end  of
       live migration.

   migrate-setspeed
       Syntax:

          migrate-setspeed domain bandwidth [--postcopy]

       Set  the  maximum  migration  bandwidth (in MiB/s) for a domain which is being migrated to
       another host. bandwidth is interpreted as  an  unsigned  long  long  value.  Specifying  a
       negative value results in an essentially unlimited value being provided to the hypervisor.
       The hypervisor can choose whether to reject the value or convert it to the  maximum  value
       allowed. If the --postcopy option is specified, the command will set the maximum bandwidth
       allowed during a post-copy migration phase.

   numatune
       Syntax:

          numatune domain [--mode mode] [--nodeset nodeset]
             [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Set or get a domain's numa parameters, corresponding to the <numatune> element  of  domain
       XML.  Without flags, the current settings are displayed.

       mode  can  be  one  of `strict', `interleave' and `preferred' or any valid number from the
       virDomainNumatuneMemMode enum in case the daemon supports it.  For a running  domain,  the
       mode  can't be changed, and the nodeset can be changed only if the domain was started with
       a mode of `strict'.

       nodeset is a list of numa nodes used by the host for running the domain.  Its syntax is  a
       comma separated list, with '-' for ranges and '^' for excluding a node.

       If  --live  is  specified,  set  scheduler information of a running guest.  If --config is
       specified, affect the next boot of a persistent guest.  If --current is specified,  affect
       the current guest state.

   perf
       Syntax:

          perf domain [--enable eventSpec] [--disable eventSpec]
             [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Get  the  current  perf  events setting or enable/disable specific perf events for a guest
       domain.

       Perf is a performance analyzing tool in Linux,  and  it  can  instrument  CPU  performance
       counters,  tracepoints,  kprobes,  and  uprobes (dynamic tracing). Perf supports a list of
       measurable events, and can measure events coming from  different  sources.  For  instance,
       some  event  are  pure  kernel  counters,  in  this  case they are called software events,
       including context-switches, minor-faults,  etc..  Now  dozens  of  events  from  different
       sources can be supported by perf.

       Currently  only QEMU/KVM supports this command. The --enable and --disable option combined
       with eventSpec can be used to enable or disable specific performance event. eventSpec is a
       string list of one or more events separated by commas. Valid event names are as follows:

       Valid perf event namescmt  -  A  PQos  (Platform  Qos)  feature  to monitor the usage of cache by applications

       If --live is specified, affect a running guest.  If --config is specified, affect the next
       boot  of  a  persistent guest.  If --current is specified, affect the current guest state.
       Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.  If  no  flag  is
       specified, behavior is different depending on hypervisor.

   reboot
       Syntax:

          reboot domain [--mode MODE-LIST]

       Reboot  a  domain.   This  acts  just as if the domain had the reboot command run from the
       console.  The command returns as soon as it has executed the reboot action, which  may  be
       significantly before the domain actually reboots.

       The  exact  behavior  of a domain when it reboots is set by the on_reboot parameter in the
       domain's XML definition.

       By default the hypervisor will try to pick a  suitable  shutdown  method.  To  specify  an
       alternative method, the --mode parameter can specify a comma separated list which includes
       acpi, agent, initctl, signal and paravirt. The order in which drivers will try  each  mode
       is  undefined,  and  not related to the order specified to virsh.  For strict control over
       ordering, use a single mode at a time and repeat the command.

   reset
       Syntax:

          reset domain

       Reset a domain immediately without any guest shutdown.  reset  emulates  the  power  reset
       button  on  a  machine,  where  all guest hardware sees the RST line set and reinitializes
       internal state.

       Note: Reset without any guest OS shutdown risks data loss.

   restore
       Syntax:

          restore state-file [--bypass-cache] [--xml file]
             [{--running | --paused}]

       Restores a domain from a virsh save state file. See save for more info.

       If --bypass-cache is specified, the restore will avoid the  file  system  cache,  although
       this may slow down the operation.

       --xml  file  is usually omitted, but can be used to supply an alternative XML file for use
       on the restored guest with changes only in the host-specific portions of the  domain  XML.
       For  example,  it can be used to account for file naming differences in underlying storage
       due to disk snapshots taken after the guest was saved.

       Normally, restoring a saved image will use the state recorded in the save image to  decide
       between  running  or  paused;  passing  either  the  --running or --paused flag will allow
       overriding which state the domain should be started in.

       Note: To avoid corrupting file system contents within the domain, you should not reuse the
       saved  state  file  for a second restore unless you have also reverted all storage volumes
       back to the same contents as when the state file was created.

   resume
       Syntax:

          resume domain

       Moves a domain out of the suspended state.  This will allow a previously suspended  domain
       to now be eligible for scheduling by the underlying hypervisor.

   save
       Syntax:

          save domain state-file [--bypass-cache] [--xml file]
             [{--running | --paused}] [--verbose]

       Saves  a  running  domain  (RAM,  but  not  disk  state) to a state file so that it can be
       restored later.  Once saved, the domain will no longer be running on the system, thus  the
       memory  allocated  for  the  domain  will be free for other domains to use.  virsh restore
       restores from this state file.  If --bypass-cache is specified, the save  will  avoid  the
       file system cache, although this may slow down the operation.

       The progress may be monitored using domjobinfo virsh command and canceled with domjobabort
       command (sent by another virsh instance). Another option is to send SIGINT  (usually  with
       Ctrl-C)  to  the  virsh  process  running save command. --verbose displays the progress of
       save.

       This is roughly equivalent to doing a hibernate on a running computer, with all  the  same
       limitations.   Open  network  connections may be severed upon restore, as TCP timeouts may
       have expired.

       --xml file is usually omitted, but can be used to supply an alternative XML file  for  use
       on  the  restored guest with changes only in the host-specific portions of the domain XML.
       For example, it can be used to account for file naming differences that are planned to  be
       made via disk snapshots of underlying storage after the guest is saved.

       Normally, restoring a saved image will decide between running or paused based on the state
       the domain was in when the save was done; passing either the --running  or  --paused  flag
       will allow overriding which state the restore should use.

       Domain  saved  state  files assume that disk images will be unchanged between the creation
       and restore point.  For a more complete system restore point,  where  the  disk  state  is
       saved alongside the memory state, see the snapshot family of commands.

   save-image-define
       Syntax:

          save-image-define file xml [{--running | --paused}]

       Update  the  domain  XML that will be used when file is later used in the restore command.
       The xml argument must be a file name containing the alternative XML, with changes only  in
       the  host-specific portions of the domain XML.  For example, it can be used to account for
       file naming differences resulting from creating disk snapshots of underlying storage after
       the guest was saved.

       The save image records whether the domain should be restored to a running or paused state.
       Normally, this command does not alter the recorded state; passing either the --running  or
       --paused flag will allow overriding which state the restore should use.

   save-image-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          save-image-dumpxml file [--security-info]

       Extract  the  domain  XML  that  was  in  effect at the time the saved state file file was
       created with the save command.  Using --security-info will also include security sensitive
       information.

   save-image-edit
       Syntax:

          save-image-edit file [{--running | --paused}]

       Edit  the  XML  configuration  associated with a saved state file file created by the save
       command.

       The save image records whether the domain should be restored to a running or paused state.
       Normally,  this command does not alter the recorded state; passing either the --running or
       --paused flag will allow overriding which state the restore should use.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh save-image-dumpxml state-file > state-file.xml
          vi state-file.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh save-image-define state-file state-file-xml

       except that it does some error checking.

       The editor used can be supplied by the  $VISUAL  or  $EDITOR  environment  variables,  and
       defaults to vi.

   schedinfo
       Syntax:

          schedinfo domain [[--config] [--live] | [--current]] [[--set] parameter=value]...
          schedinfo [--weight number] [--cap number] domain

       Allows you to show (and set) the domain scheduler parameters. The parameters available for
       each hypervisor are:

       LXC (posix scheduler) : cpu_shares, vcpu_period, vcpu_quota

       QEMU/KVM  (posix  scheduler):  cpu_shares,   vcpu_period,   vcpu_quota,   emulator_period,
       emulator_quota, iothread_quota, iothread_period

       Xen (credit scheduler): weight, cap

       ESX (allocation scheduler): reservation, limit, shares

       If  --live  is  specified,  set  scheduler information of a running guest.  If --config is
       specified, affect the next boot of a persistent guest.  If --current is specified,  affect
       the current guest state.

       Note:  The  cpu_shares  parameter has a valid value range of 0-262144; Negative values are
       wrapped to positive, and larger values are capped at the  maximum.   Therefore,  -1  is  a
       useful  shorthand  for  262144.  On the Linux kernel, the values 0 and 1 are automatically
       converted to a minimal value of 2.

       Note: The weight and cap parameters are defined only for the XEN_CREDIT scheduler.

       Note: The vcpu_period, emulator_period, and iothread_period parameters have a valid  value
       range  of  1000-1000000  or  0,  and  the  vcpu_quota,  emulator_quota, and iothread_quota
       parameters have a valid value range of 1000-18446744073709551 or less than 0. The value  0
       for either parameter is the same as not specifying that parameter.

   screenshot
       Syntax:

          screenshot domain [imagefilepath] [--screen screenID]

       Takes  a screenshot of a current domain console and stores it into a file.  Optionally, if
       the hypervisor supports more displays for  a  domain,  screenID  allows  specifying  which
       screen  will  be  captured.  It  is  the  sequential number of screen. In case of multiple
       graphics cards, heads are enumerated before devices, e.g. having two graphics cards,  both
       with four heads, screen ID 5 addresses the second head on the second card.

   send-key
       Syntax:

          send-key domain [--codeset codeset] [--holdtime holdtime] keycode...

       Parse  the keycode sequence as keystrokes to send to domain.  Each keycode can either be a
       numeric value or a symbolic name from the corresponding codeset.  If --holdtime is  given,
       each keystroke will be held for that many milliseconds.  The default codeset is linux, but
       use of the --codeset option allows other codesets to be chosen.

       If multiple keycodes are specified, they are all sent simultaneously  to  the  guest,  and
       they  may  be  received  in  random  order.  If you need distinct keypresses, you must use
       multiple send-key invocations.

         the original XT codeset, but often with different encoding  for  extended  keycodes.  No
         symbolic names are provided.

         See virkeycode-xtkbd(7)

       • win32

         The numeric values are those defined by the Win32 keyboard input subsystem. The symbolic
         names match the corresponding Win32 key constant macro names

         See virkeycode-win32(7) and virkeyname-win32(7)

       • usb

         The numeric values are those defined by the USB HID specification for keyboard input. No
         symbolic names are provided

         See virkeycode-usb(7)

       • qnum

         The  numeric  values  are  those defined by the QNUM extension for sending raw keycodes.
         These are a variant on the XT codeset, but extended keycodes have the  low  bit  of  the
         second  byte  set,  instead  of  the  high  bit of the first byte. No symbolic names are
         provided.

         See virkeycode-qnum(7)

       Examples:

          # send three strokes 'k', 'e', 'y', using xt codeset. these
          # are all pressed simultaneously and may be received by the guest
          # in random order
          virsh send-key dom --codeset xt 37 18 21

          # send one stroke 'right-ctrl+C'
          virsh send-key dom KEY_RIGHTCTRL KEY_C

          # send a tab, held for 1 second
          virsh send-key --holdtime 1000 0xf

   send-process-signal
       Syntax:

          send-process-signal domain-id pid signame

       Send a signal signame to the process identified by  pid  running  in  the  virtual  domain
       domain-id. The pid is a process ID in the virtual domain namespace.

       The  signame  argument  may  be  either  an  integer signal constant number, or one of the
       symbolic names:

          "nop", "hup", "int", "quit", "ill",
          "trap", "abrt", "bus", "fpe", "kill",
          "usr1", "segv", "usr2", "pipe", "alrm",
          "term", "stkflt", "chld", "cont", "stop",
          "tstp", "ttin", "ttou", "urg", "xcpu",
          "xfsz", "vtalrm", "prof", "winch", "poll",
          "pwr", "sys", "rt0", "rt1", "rt2", "rt3",
          "rt4", "rt5", "rt6", "rt7", "rt8", "rt9",
          "rt10", "rt11", "rt12", "rt13", "rt14", "rt15",
          "rt16", "rt17", "rt18", "rt19", "rt20", "rt21",
          "rt22", "rt23", "rt24", "rt25", "rt26", "rt27",
          "rt28", "rt29", "rt30", "rt31", "rt32"

       The symbol name may optionally be prefixed with sig or sig_ and may  be  in  uppercase  or
       lowercase.

       Examples:

          virsh send-process-signal myguest 1 15
          virsh send-process-signal myguest 1 term
          virsh send-process-signal myguest 1 sigterm
          virsh send-process-signal myguest 1 SIG_HUP

   set-lifecycle-action
       Syntax:

          set-lifecycle-action domain type action
             [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Set  the  lifecycle  action for specified lifecycle type.  The valid types are "poweroff",
       "reboot" and "crash", and for each of them valid action is one  of  "destroy",  "restart",
       "rename-restart", "preserve".  For type "crash", additional actions "coredump-destroy" and
       "coredump-restart" are supported.

   set-user-password
       Syntax:

          set-user-password domain user password [--encrypted]

       Set the password for the user account in the guest domain.

       If --encrypted is specified, the password is assumed to be already encrypted by the method
       required by the guest OS.

       For QEMU/KVM, this requires the guest agent to be configured and running.

   setmaxmem
       Syntax:

          setmaxmem domain size [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Change  the  maximum  memory allocation limit for a guest domain.  If --live is specified,
       affect a running guest.  If --config is specified, affect the next boot  of  a  persistent
       guest.   If  --current  is  specified,  affect  the  current guest state.  Both --live and
       --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive. If no flag is specified, behavior
       is different depending on hypervisor.

       Some  hypervisors  such  as QEMU/KVM don't support live changes (especially increasing) of
       the maximum memory limit.  Even persistent configuration changes might  not  be  performed
       with  some  hypervisors/configuration (e.g. on NUMA enabled domains on QEMU).  For complex
       configuration changes use command edit instead).

       size is a scaled integer (see NOTES above); it  defaults  to  kibibytes  (blocks  of  1024
       bytes)  unless you provide a suffix (and the older option name --kilobytes is available as
       a deprecated synonym) .  Libvirt rounds up to  the  nearest  kibibyte.   Some  hypervisors
       require  a larger granularity than KiB, and requests that are not an even multiple will be
       rounded up.   For  example,  vSphere/ESX  rounds  the  parameter  up  to  mebibytes  (1024
       kibibytes).

   setmem
       Syntax:

          setmem domain size [[--config] [--live] | [--current]]

       Change the memory allocation for a guest domain.  If --live is specified, perform a memory
       balloon of a running guest.   If  --config  is  specified,  affect  the  next  boot  of  a
       persistent guest.  If --current is specified, affect the current guest state.  Both --live
       and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.  If  no  flag  is  specified,
       behavior is different depending on hypervisor.

       size  is  a  scaled  integer  (see  NOTES above); it defaults to kibibytes (blocks of 1024
       bytes) unless you provide a suffix (and the older option name --kilobytes is available  as
       a  deprecated  synonym)  .   Libvirt  rounds up to the nearest kibibyte.  Some hypervisors
       require a larger granularity than KiB, and requests that are not an even multiple will  be
       rounded  up.   For  example,  vSphere/ESX  rounds  the  parameter  up  to  mebibytes (1024
       kibibytes).

       For Xen,  you  can  only  adjust  the  memory  of  a  running  domain  if  the  domain  is
       paravirtualized or running the PV balloon driver.

       For LXC, the value being set is the cgroups value for limit_in_bytes or the maximum amount
       of user memory (including file cache). When viewing memory inside the container,  this  is
       the  /proc/meminfo  "MemTotal"  value. When viewing the value from the host, use the virsh
       memtune command. In order to view the current memory in use and the maximum value  allowed
       to set memory, use the virsh dominfo command.

   setvcpus
       Syntax:

          setvcpus domain count [--maximum] [[--config] [--live] | [--current]] [--guest] [--hotpluggable]

       Change  the  number  of  virtual  CPUs active in a guest domain.  By default, this command
       works on active guest domains.  To change the settings for an inactive guest  domain,  use
       the --config flag.

       The  count  value  may be limited by host, hypervisor, or a limit coming from the original
       description of the guest domain. For Xen, you can  only  adjust  the  virtual  CPUs  of  a
       running domain if the domain is paravirtualized.

       If  the --config flag is specified, the change is made to the stored XML configuration for
       the guest domain, and will only take effect when the guest domain is next started.

       If --live is specified, the guest domain must  be  active,  and  the  change  takes  place
       immediately.  Both the --config and --live flags may be specified together if supported by
       the hypervisor.  If this command is run before the guest has finished booting,  the  guest
       may fail to process the change.

       If --current is specified, affect the current guest state.

       When  no  flags are given, the --live flag is assumed and the guest domain must be active.
       In this situation it is up to the hypervisor whether the --config flag  is  also  assumed,
       and therefore whether the XML configuration is adjusted to make the change persistent.

       If  --guest  is  specified, then the count of cpus is modified in the guest instead of the
       hypervisor. This flag is usable only for live domains and may require guest  agent  to  be
       configured in the guest.

       To  allow  adding vcpus to persistent definitions that can be later hotunplugged after the
       domain is booted it is necessary to specify the --hotpluggable flag. Vcpus added  to  live
       domains supporting vcpu unplug are automatically marked as hotpluggable.

       The --maximum flag controls the maximum number of virtual cpus that can be hot-plugged the
       next time the domain is booted.  As such, it must only be used with the --config flag, and
       not  with the --live or the --current flag. Note that it may not be possible to change the
       maximum vcpu count if the processor topology is specified for the guest.

   setvcpu
       Syntax:

          setvcpu domain vcpulist [--enable] | [--disable]
             [[--live] [--config] | [--current]]

       Change state of individual vCPUs using hot(un)plug mechanism.

       See vcpupin for information on format of vcpulist. Hypervisor  drivers  may  require  that
       vcpulist contains exactly vCPUs belonging to one hotpluggable entity. This is usually just
       a single vCPU but certain architectures such as ppc64 require a full core to be  specified
       at once.

       Note that hypervisors may refuse to disable certain vcpus such as vcpu 0 or others.

       If  --live  is  specified,  affect a running domain.  If --config is specified, affect the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.  This is the default. Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is
       exclusive.

   shutdown
       Syntax:

          shutdown domain [--mode MODE-LIST]

       Gracefully shuts down a domain.  This coordinates with the domain OS to  perform  graceful
       shutdown, so there is no guarantee that it will succeed, and may take a variable length of
       time depending on what services must be shutdown in the domain.

       The exact behavior of a domain when it shuts down is set by the on_poweroff  parameter  in
       the domain's XML definition.

       If  domain  is  transient, then the metadata of any snapshots and checkpoints will be lost
       once the guest stops running, but the underlying contents still exist, and  a  new  domain
       with  the  same  name and UUID can restore the snapshot metadata with snapshot-create, and
       the checkpoint metadata with checkpoint-create.

       By default the hypervisor will try to pick a  suitable  shutdown  method.  To  specify  an
       alternative method, the --mode parameter can specify a comma separated list which includes
       acpi, agent, initctl, signal and paravirt. The order in which drivers will try  each  mode
       is  undefined,  and  not related to the order specified to virsh.  For strict control over
       ordering, use a single mode at a time and repeat the command.

   start
       Syntax:

          start domain-name-or-uuid [--console] [--paused]
             [--autodestroy] [--bypass-cache] [--force-boot]
             [--pass-fds N,M,...]

       Start a (previously defined) inactive domain, either from the last managedsave  state,  or
       via  a  fresh  boot  if no managedsave state is present.  The domain will be paused if the
       --paused option is used and supported by the driver; otherwise it  will  be  running.   If
       --console  is  requested,  attach  to  the  console  after  creation.  If --autodestroy is
       requested, then the guest will be automatically destroyed when virsh closes its connection
       to  libvirt,  or  otherwise  exits.  If --bypass-cache is specified, and managedsave state
       exists, the restore will avoid the file system cache, although  this  may  slow  down  the
       operation.   If  --force-boot  is specified, then any managedsave state is discarded and a
       fresh boot occurs.

       If --pass-fds is  specified,  the  argument  is  a  comma  separated  list  of  open  file
       descriptors  which  should  be  pass  on  into  the  guest.  The  file descriptors will be
       re-numbered in the guest, starting from 3. This is only  supported  with  container  based
       virtualization.

   suspend
       Syntax:

          suspend domain

       Suspend a running domain. It is kept in memory but won't be scheduled anymore.

   ttyconsole
       Syntax:

          ttyconsole domain

       Output  the  device  used  for  the  TTY  console of the domain. If the information is not
       available the processes will provide an exit code of 1.

   undefine
       Syntax:

          undefine domain [--managed-save] [--snapshots-metadata]
             [--checkpoints-metadata] [--nvram] [--keep-nvram]
             [ {--storage volumes | --remove-all-storage
                [--delete-storage-volume-snapshots]} --wipe-storage]

       Undefine a domain. If the domain is running, this  converts  it  to  a  transient  domain,
       without stopping it. If the domain is inactive, the domain configuration is removed.

       The  --managed-save  flag  guarantees  that  any  managed  save image (see the managedsave
       command) is also cleaned up.  Without the flag, attempts  to  undefine  a  domain  with  a
       managed save image will fail.

       The  --snapshots-metadata  flag  guarantees  that  any  snapshots  (see  the snapshot-list
       command) are also cleaned up when  undefining  an  inactive  domain.   Without  the  flag,
       attempts  to  undefine an inactive domain with snapshot metadata will fail.  If the domain
       is active, this flag is ignored.

       The --checkpoints-metadata flag guarantees that any checkpoints (see  the  checkpoint-list
       command)  are  also  cleaned  up  when  undefining  an inactive domain.  Without the flag,
       attempts to undefine an inactive domain with checkpoint metadata will fail.  If the domain
       is active, this flag is ignored.

       --nvram  and  --keep-nvram specify accordingly to delete or keep nvram (/domain/os/nvram/)
       file. If the domain has an nvram file and the flags are omitted, the undefine will fail.

       The --storage flag takes a parameter volumes, which is a comma separated  list  of  volume
       target  names  or  source  paths of storage volumes to be removed along with the undefined
       domain. Volumes can be undefined  and  thus  removed  only  on  inactive  domains.  Volume
       deletion  is  only  attempted  after  the domain is undefined; if not all of the requested
       volumes could be deleted, the error message indicates what  still  remains  behind.  If  a
       volume  path  is  not  found  in  the domain definition, it's treated as if the volume was
       successfully deleted. Only volumes managed by libvirt in storage pools can be removed this
       way.   (See  domblklist  for  list  of  target  names  associated  to a domain).  Example:
       --storage vda,/path/to/storage.img

       The --remove-all-storage flag specifies that all of the domain's storage volumes should be
       deleted.

       The  --delete-storage-volume-snapshots (previously --delete-snapshots) flag specifies that
       any snapshots associated with the storage volume should be deleted as well.  Requires  the
       --remove-all-storage  flag  to  be  provided. Not all storage drivers support this option,
       presently only rbd. Using this when also removing volumes  handled  by  a  storage  driver
       which does not support the flag will result in failure.

       The flag --wipe-storage specifies that the storage volumes should be wiped before removal.

       NOTE: For an inactive domain, the domain name or UUID must be used as the domain.

   vcpucount
       Syntax:

          vcpucount domain  [{--maximum | --active}
             {--config | --live | --current}] [--guest]

       Print  information  about  the  virtual  cpu  counts of the given domain.  If no flags are
       specified, all possible counts are listed in a table; otherwise, the output is limited  to
       just  the  numeric  value  requested.   For  historical reasons, the table lists the label
       "current" on the rows that can be queried in isolation via the --active flag, rather  than
       relating to the --current flag.

       --maximum  requests  information  on  the  maximum  cap of vcpus that a domain can add via
       setvcpus, while --active  shows  the  current  usage;  these  two  flags  cannot  both  be
       specified.   --config  requires a persistent domain and requests information regarding the
       next time the domain will be booted, --live requires a running domain  and  lists  current
       values,  and --current queries according to the current state of the domain (corresponding
       to --live if running, or --config if inactive); these three flags are mutually exclusive.

       If --guest is specified, then the count of cpus is reported from the  perspective  of  the
       guest.  This  flag  is  usable  only  for  live  domains and may require guest agent to be
       configured in the guest.

   vcpuinfo
       Syntax:

          vcpuinfo domain [--pretty]

       Returns basic information about the domain virtual CPUs, like the  number  of  vCPUs,  the
       running time, the affinity to physical processors.

       With --pretty, cpu affinities are shown as ranges.

       Example:

          $ virsh vcpuinfo fedora
          VCPU:           0
          CPU:            0
          State:          running
          CPU time:       7,0s
          CPU Affinity:   yyyy

          VCPU:           1
          CPU:            1
          State:          running
          CPU time:       0,7s
          CPU Affinity:   yyyy

       STATES

       The State field displays the current operating state of a virtual CPU

       • offline

         The virtual CPU is offline and not usable by the domain.  This state is not supported by
         all hypervisors.

       • running

         The virtual CPU is available to the domain and is operating.

       • blocked

         The virtual CPU is available to the domain but is waiting for a resource.  This state is
         not supported by all hypervisors, in which case running may be reported instead.

       • no state

         The  virtual  CPU  state could not be determined. This could happen if the hypervisor is
         newer than virsh.

       • N/A

         There's no information about the virtual CPU state available. This can be  the  case  if
         the domain is not running or the hypervisor does not report the virtual CPU state.

   vcpupin
       Syntax:

          vcpupin domain [vcpu] [cpulist] [[--live] [--config] | [--current]]

       Query  or change the pinning of domain VCPUs to host physical CPUs.  To pin a single vcpu,
       specify cpulist; otherwise, you can query one vcpu or omit vcpu to list all at once.

       cpulist is a list of physical CPU numbers. Its syntax is a  comma  separated  list  and  a
       special  markup  using  '-'  and  '^'  (ex.  '0-4', '0-3,^2') can also be allowed. The '-'
       denotes the range and the '^' denotes exclusive.  For pinning the  vcpu  to  all  physical
       cpus  specify  'r'  as  a  cpulist.   If  --live is specified, affect a running guest.  If
       --config is specified, affect the next boot  of  a  persistent  guest.   If  --current  is
       specified, affect the current guest state.  Both --live and --config flags may be given if
       cpulist is present, but --current is exclusive.  If no  flag  is  specified,  behavior  is
       different depending on hypervisor.

       Note: The expression is sequentially evaluated, so "0-15,^8" is identical to "9-14,0-7,15"
       but not identical to "^8,0-15".

   vncdisplay
       Syntax:

          vncdisplay domain

       Output the IP address and port number for the VNC  display.  If  the  information  is  not
       available the processes will provide an exit code of 1.

DEVICE COMMANDS

       The  following  commands  manipulate  devices  associated  to  domains.  The domain can be
       specified as a short integer, a name or a full UUID.   To  better  understand  the  values
       allowed    as    options    for    the    command    reading    the    documentation    at
       https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html on the format of the device sections to get the most
       accurate set of accepted values.

   attach-device
       Syntax:

          attach-device domain FILE [[[--live] [--config] | [--current]] | [--persistent]]

       Attach  a  device  to  the domain, using a device definition in an XML file using a device
       definition element such as <disk> or  <interface>  as  the  top-level  element.   See  the
       documentation  at  https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDevices  to  learn  about
       libvirt XML format for a  device.   If  --config  is  specified  the  command  alters  the
       persistent domain configuration with the device attach taking effect the next time libvirt
       starts the domain.  For cdrom and floppy devices, this command  only  replaces  the  media
       within  an  existing device; consider using update-device for this usage.  For passthrough
       host devices, see also nodedev-detach, needed if the PCI device does not use managed mode.

       If --live is specified, affect a running domain.  If --config  is  specified,  affect  the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.  Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.  When  no
       flag is specified legacy API is used whose behavior depends on the hypervisor driver.

       For  compatibility purposes, --persistent behaves like --config for an offline domain, and
       like --live --config for a running domain.

       Note: using of partial device definition XML files may lead to unexpected results as  some
       fields may be autogenerated and thus match devices other than expected.

   attach-disk
       Syntax:

          attach-disk domain source target [[[--live] [--config] |
             [--current]] | [--persistent]] [--targetbus bus]
             [--driver driver] [--subdriver subdriver] [--iothread iothread]
             [--cache cache] [--io io] [--type type] [--alias alias]
             [--mode mode] [--sourcetype sourcetype] [--serial serial]
             [--wwn wwn] [--rawio] [--address address] [--multifunction]
             [--print-xml]

       Attach  a new disk device to the domain.  source is path for the files and devices. target
       controls the bus or device under which the disk is exposed to the guest OS.  It  indicates
       the  "logical"  device  name;  the optional targetbus attribute specifies the type of disk
       device to emulate; possible values are driver specific, with  typical  values  being  ide,
       scsi,  virtio,  xen, usb, sata, or sd, if omitted, the bus type is inferred from the style
       of the device name (e.g.  a device named 'sda' will typically be  exported  using  a  SCSI
       bus).   driver  can  be  file,  tap or phy for the Xen hypervisor depending on the kind of
       access; or qemu for the QEMU emulator.  Further details to the driver can be passed  using
       subdriver.  For Xen subdriver can be aio, while for QEMU subdriver should match the format
       of the disk source, such as raw or qcow2.  Hypervisor default will be used if subdriver is
       not  specified.   However,  the  default may not be correct, esp. for QEMU as for security
       reasons it is configured not to detect disk formats.  type  can  indicate  lun,  cdrom  or
       floppy  as  alternative  to  the  disk  default, although this use only replaces the media
       within the existing virtual cdrom or floppy device; consider using update-device for  this
       usage instead.  alias can set user supplied alias.  mode can specify the two specific mode
       readonly or shareable.  sourcetype can indicate the type of source (block|file) cache  can
       be  one  of  "default", "none", "writethrough", "writeback", "directsync" or "unsafe".  io
       controls specific policies on I/O; QEMU guests support "threads" and  "native".   iothread
       is  the  number  within  the  range of domain IOThreads to which this disk may be attached
       (QEMU only).  serial is the serial of disk device. wwn is the wwn of disk  device.   rawio
       indicates  the  disk needs rawio capability.  address is the address of disk device in the
       form of pci:domain.bus.slot.function,  scsi:controller.bus.unit,  ide:controller.bus.unit,
       usb:bus.port,  sata:controller.bus.unit  or  ccw:cssid.ssid.devno. Virtio-ccw devices must
       have their cssid set  to  0xfe.   multifunction  indicates  specified  pci  address  is  a
       multifunction pci device address.

       If  --print-xml  is  specified, then the XML of the disk that would be attached is printed
       instead.

       If --live is specified, affect a running domain.  If --config  is  specified,  affect  the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.  Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.  When  no
       flag is specified legacy API is used whose behavior depends on the hypervisor driver.

       For  compatibility purposes, --persistent behaves like --config for an offline domain, and
       like --live --config for a running domain.  Likewise, --shareable is an alias  for  --mode
       shareable.

   attach-interface
       Syntax:

          attach-interface domain type source [[[--live]
             [--config] | [--current]] | [--persistent]]
             [--target target] [--mac mac] [--script script] [--model model]
             [--inbound average,peak,burst,floor] [--outbound average,peak,burst]
             [--alias alias] [--managed] [--print-xml]

       Attach a new network interface to the domain.

       type can be one of the:

       network to indicate connection via a libvirt virtual network,

       bridge to indicate connection via a bridge device on the host,

       direct to indicate connection directly to one of the host's network interfaces or bridges,

       hostdev to indicate connection using a passthrough of PCI device on the host.

       source  indicates  the  source  of  the connection.  The source depends on the type of the
       interface:

       network name of the virtual network,

       bridge the name of the bridge device,

       direct the name of the host's interface or bridge,

       hostdev the PCI address of the host's interface formatted as domain:bus:slot.function.

       --target is used to specify the tap/macvtap device to be used to connect the domain to the
       source.   Names  starting  with  'vnet'  are  considered as auto-generated and are blanked
       out/regenerated each time the interface is attached.

       --mac specifies the MAC address of the network interface; if a MAC address is not given, a
       new address will be automatically generated (and stored in the persistent configuration if
       "--config" is given on the command line).

       --script is used to specify a path to a custom script to be called while  attaching  to  a
       bridge - this will be called instead of the default script not in addition to it.  This is
       valid only for interfaces of bridge type and only for Xen domains.

       --model specifies the network device model to be presented to the domain.

       alias can set user supplied alias.

       --inbound and --outbound control the bandwidth of the interface.  At least  one  from  the
       average,  floor  pair  must  be  specified.  The other two peak and burst are optional, so
       "average,peak", "average,,burst", "average,,,floor", "average"  and  ",,,floor"  are  also
       legal.   Values  for  average, floor and peak are expressed in kilobytes per second, while
       burst is expressed in kilobytes in a single burst  at  peak  speed  as  described  in  the
       Network XML documentation at https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#elementQoS.

       --managed  is  usable only for hostdev type and tells libvirt that the interface should be
       managed, which means detached and reattached from/to the host by libvirt.

       If --print-xml is specified, then the XML of the  interface  that  would  be  attached  is
       printed instead.

       If  --live  is  specified,  affect a running domain.  If --config is specified, affect the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.   Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.  When no
       flag is specified legacy API is used whose behavior depends on the hypervisor driver.

       For compatibility purposes, --persistent behaves like --config for an offline domain,  and
       like --live --config for a running domain.

       Note:  the  optional target value is the name of a device to be created as the back-end on
       the node.  If not provided a device named "vnetN" or "vifN" will be created automatically.

   detach-device
       Syntax:

          detach-device domain FILE [[[--live] [--config] |
             [--current]] | [--persistent]]

       Detach a device from the domain, takes the  same  kind  of  XML  descriptions  as  command
       attach-device.   For  passthrough  host  devices, see also nodedev-reattach, needed if the
       device does not use managed mode.

       Note: The supplied XML description of the device should be as specific as  its  definition
       in  the  domain  XML.  The  set of attributes used to match the device are internal to the
       drivers. Using a partial definition, or attempting to detach a device that is not  present
       in  the domain XML, but shares some specific attributes with one that is present, may lead
       to unexpected results.

       Quirk: Device unplug is asynchronous in most cases and requires  guest  cooperation.  This
       means  that  it's  up  to  the  discretion  of  the  guest to disallow or delay the unplug
       arbitrarily. As the libvirt API used in  this  command  was  designed  as  synchronous  it
       returns  success  after  some  timeout  even  if the device was not unplugged yet to allow
       further interactions with the domain e.g. if the guest is unresponsive. Callers which need
       to  make sure that the device was unplugged can use libvirt events (see virsh event) to be
       notified when the device is removed. Note that the event may  arrive  before  the  command
       returns.

       If  --live  is  specified,  affect a running domain.  If --config is specified, affect the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.   Both  --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive. When no
       flag is specified legacy API is used whose behavior depends on the hypervisor driver.

       For compatibility purposes, --persistent behaves like --config for an offline domain,  and
       like --live --config for a running domain.

       Note that older versions of virsh used --config as an alias for --persistent.

   detach-device-alias
       Syntax:

          detach-device-alias domain alias [[[--live] [--config] | [--current]]]]

       Detach  a device with given alias from the domain. This command returns successfully after
       the unplug request was sent to the  hypervisor.  The  actual  removal  of  the  device  is
       notified asynchronously via libvirt events (see virsh event).

       If  --live  is  specified,  affect a running domain.  If --config is specified, affect the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.  Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.

   detach-disk
       Syntax:

          detach-disk domain target [[[--live] [--config] |
             [--current]] | [--persistent]] [--print-xml]

       Detach a disk device from a domain. The target is the device as seen from the domain.

       If  --live  is  specified,  affect a running domain.  If --config is specified, affect the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.   Both  --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive. When no
       flag is specified legacy API is used whose behavior depends on the hypervisor driver.

       For compatibility purposes, --persistent behaves like --config for an offline domain,  and
       like --live --config for a running domain.

       Note that older versions of virsh used --config as an alias for --persistent.

       If  --print-xml  is  specified,  then  the  XML  which would be used to detach the disk is
       printed instead.

       Please see documentation for detach-device for known quirks.

   detach-interface
       Syntax:

          detach-interface domain type [--mac mac]
             [[[--live] [--config] | [--current]] | [--persistent]]

       Detach a network interface from a domain.  type  can  be  either  network  to  indicate  a
       physical  network  device or bridge to indicate a bridge to a device. It is recommended to
       use the mac option to distinguish between the interfaces if more than one are  present  on
       the domain.

       If  --live  is  specified,  affect a running domain.  If --config is specified, affect the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.   Both  --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive. When no
       flag is specified legacy API is used whose behavior depends on the hypervisor driver.

       For compatibility purposes, --persistent behaves like --config for an offline domain,  and
       like --live --config for a running domain.

       Note that older versions of virsh used --config as an alias for --persistent.

       Please see documentation for detach-device for known quirks.

   update-device
       Syntax:

          update-device domain file [--force] [[[--live]
             [--config] | [--current]] | [--persistent]]

       Update  the  characteristics  of  a  device  associated  with  domain, based on the device
       definition in an XML file.  The --force option can be used to force device  update,  e.g.,
       to  eject  a  CD-ROM  even if it is locked/mounted in the domain. See the documentation at
       https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDevices to learn about  libvirt  XML  format
       for a device.

       If  --live  is  specified,  affect a running domain.  If --config is specified, affect the
       next startup of a persistent domain.  If --current is specified, affect the current domain
       state.   Both  --live  and  --config  flags  may be given, but --current is exclusive. Not
       specifying any flag is the same as specifying --current.

       For compatibility purposes, --persistent behaves like --config for an offline domain,  and
       like --live --config for a running domain.

       Note that older versions of virsh used --config as an alias for --persistent.

       Note:  using of partial device definition XML files may lead to unexpected results as some
       fields may be autogenerated and thus match devices other than expected.

   change-media
       Syntax:

          change-media domain path [--eject] [--insert]
             [--update] [source] [--force] [[--live] [--config] |
             [--current]] [--print-xml] [--block]

       Change media of CDROM or floppy drive. path can be the fully-qualified path or the  unique
       target  name  (<target  dev='hdc'>)  of  the disk device. source specifies the path of the
       media to be inserted or updated. The --block flag allows setting the backing type in  case
       a block device is used as media for the CDROM or floppy drive instead of a file.

       --eject  indicates  the  media  will  be  ejected.   --insert  indicates the media will be
       inserted.  source  must  be  specified.   If  the  device   has   source   (e.g.   <source
       file='media'>),  and  source is not specified, --update is equal to --eject. If the device
       has no source, and source is specified, --update is equal to --insert. If the  device  has
       source,  and  source  is  specified,  --update  behaves  like  combination  of --eject and
       --insert.  If none of --eject, --insert, and --update is specified, --update  is  used  by
       default.  The --force option can be used to force media changing.  If --live is specified,
       alter live configuration of running guest.  If --config  is  specified,  alter  persistent
       configuration,  effect observed on next boot.  --current can be either or both of live and
       config, depends on the hypervisor's implementation.  Both --live and --config flags may be
       given,  but  --current  is  exclusive.  If  no  flag  is  specified, behavior is different
       depending on hypervisor.  If --print-xml is specified, the  XML  that  would  be  used  to
       change media is printed instead of changing the media.

NODEDEV COMMANDS

       The  following  commands manipulate host devices that are intended to be passed through to
       guest domains via <hostdev> elements in a domain's <devices> section.  A node  device  key
       is  generally specified by the bus name followed by its address, using underscores between
       all components, such as pci_0000_00_02_1, usb_1_5_3, or  net_eth1_00_27_13_6a_fe_00.   The
       nodedev-list  gives the full list of host devices that are known to libvirt, although this
       includes devices that cannot be assigned to a guest (for example, attempting to detach the
       PCI  device  that  controls  the host's hard disk controller where the guest's disk images
       live could cause the host system to lock up or reboot).

       For more information on node device definition see: https://libvirt.org/formatnode.html.

       Passthrough devices cannot be simultaneously used by the host and its guest  domains,  nor
       by  multiple active guests at once.  If the <hostdev> description of a PCI device includes
       the attribute managed='yes', and the hypervisor driver supports it, then the device is  in
       managed  mode,  and  attempts  to  use  that  passthrough  device  in an active guest will
       automatically  behave  as  if  nodedev-detach   (guest   start,   device   hot-plug)   and
       nodedev-reattach  (guest  stop,  device hot-unplug) were called at the right points.  If a
       PCI device is not marked as managed, then it must manually be detached before  guests  can
       use it, and manually reattached to be returned to the host.  Also, if a device is manually
       detached, then the host does not regain control of the device without a matching reattach,
       even if the guests use the device in managed mode.

   nodedev-create
       Syntax:

          nodedev-create FILE

       Create  a device on the host node that can then be assigned to virtual machines. Normally,
       libvirt is able to automatically determine which host nodes are  available  for  use,  but
       this allows registration of host hardware that libvirt did not automatically detect.  file
       contains xml for a top-level <device> description of a node device.

   nodedev-destroy
       Syntax:

          nodedev-destroy device

       Destroy (stop) a device on the host. device can be either  device  name  or  wwn  pair  in
       "wwnn,wwpn"  format  (only  works  for vHBA currently).  Note that this makes libvirt quit
       managing a host device, and may even make that device unusable by the rest of the physical
       host until a reboot.

   nodedev-detach
       Syntax:

          nodedev-detach nodedev [--driver backend_driver]

       Detach  nodedev  from  the  host,  so  that  it can safely be used by guests via <hostdev>
       passthrough.  This is reversed  with  nodedev-reattach,  and  is  done  automatically  for
       managed devices.

       Different  backend  drivers  expect the device to be bound to different dummy devices. For
       example, QEMU's "kvm" backend driver (the default) expects  the  device  to  be  bound  to
       pci-stub,  but  its  "vfio" backend driver expects the device to be bound to vfio-pci. The
       --driver parameter can be used to specify the desired backend driver.

   nodedev-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          nodedev-dumpxml device

       Dump a <device> XML representation for the given node device, including  such  information
       as  the  device  name,  which  bus  owns  the  device,  the vendor and product id, and any
       capabilities of the device usable by libvirt (such as whether device reset is  supported).
       device can be either device name or wwn pair in "wwnn,wwpn" format (only works for HBA).

   nodedev-list
       Syntax:

          nodedev-list cap --tree

       List  all  of the devices available on the node that are known by libvirt.  cap is used to
       filter the list by capability types, the types must be  separated  by  comma,  e.g.  --cap
       pci,scsi.  Valid  capability  types  include  'system', 'pci', 'usb_device', 'usb', 'net',
       'scsi_host', 'scsi_target', 'scsi', 'storage', 'fc_host', 'vports', 'scsi_generic', 'drm',
       'mdev',  'mdev_types',  'ccw'.   If  --tree  is  used,  the  output is formatted in a tree
       representing parents of each node.  cap and --tree are mutually exclusive.

   nodedev-reattach
       Syntax:

          nodedev-reattach nodedev

       Declare that nodedev is no longer in use by any guests,  and  that  the  host  can  resume
       normal  use of the device.  This is done automatically for PCI devices in managed mode and
       USB devices, but must be done explicitly to match any explicit nodedev-detach.

   nodedev-reset
       Syntax:

          nodedev-reset nodedev

       Trigger a device reset for nodedev, useful prior to transferring  a  node  device  between
       guest  passthrough  or  the  host.   Libvirt  will  often  do  this action implicitly when
       required, but this command allows an explicit reset when needed.

   nodedev-event
       Syntax:

          nodedev-event {[nodedev] event [--loop] [--timeout seconds] [--timestamp] | --list}

       Wait for a class of node device events to occur, and print appropriate details  of  events
       as  they  happen.   The events can optionally be filtered by nodedev.  Using --list as the
       only argument will provide a list of possible event values known by this client,  although
       the connection might not allow registering for all these events.

       By  default,  this  command is one-shot, and returns success once an event occurs; you can
       send SIGINT (usually via Ctrl-C) to quit immediately.   If  --timeout  is  specified,  the
       command gives up waiting for events after seconds have elapsed.   With --loop, the command
       prints all events until a timeout or interrupt key.

       When --timestamp is used, a human-readable timestamp will be printed before the event.

VIRTUAL NETWORK COMMANDS

       The following commands manipulate networks. Libvirt has the capability to  define  virtual
       networks  which can then be used by domains and linked to actual network devices. For more
       detailed    information    about    this    feature    see    the     documentation     at
       https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html  .  Many  of  the commands for virtual networks are
       similar to the ones used for domains, but the way to name a virtual network is  either  by
       its name or UUID.

   net-autostart
       Syntax:

          net-autostart network [--disable]

       Configure  a  virtual  network  to be automatically started at boot.  The --disable option
       disable autostarting.

   net-create
       Syntax:

          net-create file

       Create a transient (temporary) virtual network from an XML file  and  instantiate  (start)
       the  network.   See  the  documentation at https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html to get a
       description of the XML network format used by libvirt.

   net-define
       Syntax:

          net-define file

       Define an inactive persistent virtual network or modify an existing  persistent  one  from
       the XML file.

   net-destroy
       Syntax:

          net-destroy network

       Destroy  (stop)  a  given transient or persistent virtual network specified by its name or
       UUID. This takes effect immediately.

   net-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          net-dumpxml network [--inactive]

       Output the virtual network information as  an  XML  dump  to  stdout.   If  --inactive  is
       specified,  then  physical  functions  are  not  expanded  into  their  associated virtual
       functions.

   net-edit
       Syntax:

          net-edit network

       Edit the XML configuration file for a network.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh net-dumpxml --inactive network > network.xml
          vi network.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh net-define network.xml

       except that it does some error checking.

       The editor used can be supplied by the  $VISUAL  or  $EDITOR  environment  variables,  and
       defaults to vi.

   net-event
       Syntax:

          net-event {[network] event [--loop] [--timeout seconds] [--timestamp] | --list}

       Wait  for  a  class of network events to occur, and print appropriate details of events as
       they happen.  The events can optionally be filtered by network.  Using --list as the  only
       argument  will  provide a list of possible event values known by this client, although the
       connection might not allow registering for all these events.

       By default, this command is one-shot, and returns success once an event  occurs;  you  can
       send  SIGINT  (usually  via  Ctrl-C)  to quit immediately.  If --timeout is specified, the
       command gives up waiting for events after seconds have elapsed.   With --loop, the command
       prints all events until a timeout or interrupt key.

       When --timestamp is used, a human-readable timestamp will be printed before the event.

   net-info
       Syntax:

          net-info network

       Returns basic information about the network object.

   net-list
       Syntax:

          net-list [--inactive | --all]
             { [--table] | --name | --uuid }
             [--persistent] [<--transient>]
             [--autostart] [<--no-autostart>]

       Returns  the list of active networks, if --all is specified this will also include defined
       but inactive networks, if --inactive is specified only the inactive ones will  be  listed.
       You  may  also want to filter the returned networks by --persistent to list the persistent
       ones, --transient to list the transient ones, --autostart to list the ones with  autostart
       enabled, and --no-autostart to list the ones with autostart disabled.

       If  --name  is specified, network names are printed instead of the table formatted one per
       line. If --uuid is specified network's UUID's are printed instead of names.  Flag  --table
       specifies  that the legacy table-formatted output should be used. This is the default. All
       of these are mutually exclusive.

       NOTE: When talking to older servers, this command is forced to use a series of  API  calls
       with  an inherent race, where a pool might not be listed or might appear more than once if
       it changed state between calls while the list was being collected.  Newer servers  do  not
       have this problem.

   net-name
       Syntax:

          net-name network-UUID

       Convert a network UUID to network name.

   net-start
       Syntax:

          net-start network

       Start a (previously defined) inactive network.

   net-undefine
       Syntax:

          net-undefine network

       Undefine  the  configuration  for  a persistent network. If the network is active, make it
       transient.

   net-uuid
       Syntax:

          net-uuid network-name

       Convert a network name to network UUID.

   net-update
       Syntax:

          net-update network command section xml
             [--parent-index index] [[--live] [--config] | [--current]]

       Update the given section of an existing network definition, with  the  changes  optionally
       taking effect immediately, without needing to destroy and re-start the network.

       command  is  one  of "add-first", "add-last", "add" (a synonym for add-last), "delete", or
       "modify".

       section is one of "bridge", "domain", "ip",  "ip-dhcp-host",  "ip-dhcp-range",  "forward",
       "forward-interface",  "forward-pf", "portgroup", "dns-host", "dns-txt", or "dns-srv", each
       section being named by a concatenation of the xml element hierarchy leading to the element
       being  changed. For example, "ip-dhcp-host" will change a <host> element that is contained
       inside a <dhcp> element inside an <ip> element of the network.

       xml is either the text of a complete xml element of the type being  changed  (e.g.  "<host
       mac="00:11:22:33:44:55'  ip='1.2.3.4'/>",  or  the name of a file that contains a complete
       xml element. Disambiguation is done by looking at the first character of the provided text
       -  if the first character is "<", it is xml text, if the first character is not "<", it is
       the name of a file that contains the xml text to be used.

       The --parent-index option is  used  to  specify  which  of  several  parent  elements  the
       requested  element is in (0-based). For example, a dhcp <host> element could be in any one
       of multiple <ip> elements in the network; if a  parent-index  isn't  provided,  the  "most
       appropriate" <ip> element will be selected (usually the only one that already has a <dhcp>
       element), but if --parent-index is given, that particular instance of <ip>  will  get  the
       modification.

       If  --live  is  specified, affect a running network.  If --config is specified, affect the
       next startup of a persistent network.  If  --current  is  specified,  affect  the  current
       network  state.   Both --live and --config flags may be given, but --current is exclusive.
       Not specifying any flag is the same as specifying --current.

   net-dhcp-leases
       Syntax:

          net-dhcp-leases network [mac]

       Get a list of dhcp leases for all  network  interfaces  connected  to  the  given  virtual
       network or limited output just for one interface if mac is specified.

NETWORK PORT COMMANDS

       The  following  commands  manipulate  network  ports.  Libvirt virtual networks have ports
       created when a virtual machine has a virtual network interface  added.  In  general  there
       should  be no need to use any of the commands here, since the hypervisor drivers run these
       commands are the right point in a virtual machine's lifecycle.  They  can  be  useful  for
       debugging problems and / or recovering from bugs / stale state.

   net-port-list
       Syntax:

          net-port-list { [--table] | --uuid } network

       List all network ports recorded against the network.

       If  --uuid is specified network ports' UUID's are printed instead of a table. Flag --table
       specifies that the legacy table-formatted output should be used. This is the default.  All
       of these are mutually exclusive.

   net-port-create
       Syntax:

          net-port-create network file

       Allocate a new network port reserving resources based on the port description.

   net-port-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          net-port-dumpxml network port

       Output the network port information as an XML dump to stdout.

   net-port-delete
       Syntax:

          net-port-delete network port

       Delete record of the network port and release its resources

INTERFACE COMMANDS

       The  following commands manipulate host interfaces.  Often, these host interfaces can then
       be used by name within domain  <interface>  elements  (such  as  a  system-created  bridge
       interface),  but  there  is  no requirement that host interfaces be tied to any particular
       guest configuration XML at all.

       Many of the commands for host interfaces are similar to the ones used for domains, and the
       way  to  name an interface is either by its name or its MAC address.  However, using a MAC
       address for an iface argument only works when that address is unique (if an interface  and
       a  bridge share the same MAC address, which is often the case, then using that MAC address
       results in an error due to ambiguity, and you must resort to a name instead).

   iface-bridge
       Syntax:

          iface-bridge interface bridge [--no-stp] [delay] [--no-start]

       Create a bridge device named bridge, and attach the existing network device  interface  to
       the  new  bridge.  The new bridge defaults to starting immediately, with STP enabled and a
       delay of 0; these settings can be altered with --no-stp, --no-start, and an integer number
       of  seconds  for delay. All IP address configuration of interface will be moved to the new
       bridge device.

       See also iface-unbridge for undoing this operation.

   iface-define
       Syntax:

          iface-define file

       Define an inactive persistent physical host interface or modify an existing persistent one
       from the XML file.

   iface-destroy
       Syntax:

          iface-destroy interface

       Destroy  (stop)  a  given  host  interface,  such  as by running "if-down" to disable that
       interface from active use. This takes effect immediately.

   iface-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          iface-dumpxml interface [--inactive]

       Output the host interface information  as  an  XML  dump  to  stdout.   If  --inactive  is
       specified,  then  the  output  reflects the persistent state of the interface that will be
       used the next time it is started.

   iface-edit
       Syntax:

          iface-edit interface

       Edit the XML configuration file for a host interface.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh iface-dumpxml iface > iface.xml
          vi iface.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh iface-define iface.xml

       except that it does some error checking.

       The editor used can be supplied by the  $VISUAL  or  $EDITOR  environment  variables,  and
       defaults to vi.

   iface-list
       Syntax:

          iface-list [--inactive | --all]

       Returns  the list of active host interfaces.  If --all is specified this will also include
       defined but inactive interfaces.  If --inactive is specified only the inactive  ones  will
       be listed.

   iface-name
       Syntax:

          iface-name interface

       Convert  a  host  interface  MAC to interface name, if the MAC address is unique among the
       host's interfaces.

       interface specifies the interface MAC address.

   iface-mac
       Syntax:

          iface-mac interface

       Convert a host interface name to MAC address.

       interface specifies the interface name.

   iface-start
       Syntax:

          iface-start interface

       Start a (previously defined) host interface, such as by running "if-up".

   iface-unbridge
       Syntax:

          iface-unbridge bridge [--no-start]

       Tear down a bridge device named bridge, releasing its underlying interface back to  normal
       usage,  and  moving  all IP address configuration from the bridge device to the underlying
       device.  The underlying interface is restarted unless --no-start is present; this flag  is
       present for symmetry, but generally not recommended.

       See also iface-bridge for creating a bridge.

   iface-undefine
       Syntax:

          iface-undefine interface

       Undefine the configuration for an inactive host interface.

   iface-begin
       Syntax:

          iface-begin

       Create  a  snapshot  of  current  host  interface  settings,  which can later be committed
       (iface-commit) or restored (iface-rollback).  If a  snapshot  already  exists,  then  this
       command  will  fail until the previous snapshot has been committed or restored.  Undefined
       behavior results if any external changes are  made  to  host  interfaces  outside  of  the
       libvirt API between the beginning of a snapshot and its eventual commit or rollback.

   iface-commit
       Syntax:

          iface-commit

       Declare  all changes since the last iface-begin as working, and delete the rollback point.
       If no interface snapshot has already been started, then this command will fail.

   iface-rollback
       Syntax:

          iface-rollback

       Revert all host interface settings back to the state recorded in the last iface-begin.  If
       no  interface  snapshot  has already been started, then this command will fail.  Rebooting
       the host also serves as an implicit rollback point.

STORAGE POOL COMMANDS

       The following commands manipulate storage pools. Libvirt  has  the  capability  to  manage
       various  storage  solutions, including files, raw partitions, and domain-specific formats,
       used to provide the storage volumes visible as devices within virtual machines.  For  more
       detailed     information    about    this    feature,    see    the    documentation    at
       https://libvirt.org/formatstorage.html . Many of the commands for pools are similar to the
       ones used for domains.

   find-storage-pool-sources
       Syntax:

          find-storage-pool-sources type [srcSpec]

       Returns  XML  describing all possible available storage pool sources that could be used to
       create or define a storage pool of a given type. If srcSpec is provided, it is a file that
       contains XML to further restrict the query for pools.

       Not  all  storage  pools  support discovery in this manner. Furthermore, for those that do
       support discovery, only specific XML elements are required in order to return valid  data,
       while  other  elements and even attributes of some elements are ignored since they are not
       necessary to find the pool based on the search criteria. The following lists the supported
       type options and the expected minimal XML elements used to perform the search.

       For  a  "netfs" or "gluster" pool, the minimal expected XML required is the <host> element
       with a "name" attribute describing the IP address or hostname to be used to find the pool.
       The "port" attribute will be ignored as will any other provided XML elements in srcSpec.

       For  a  "logical" pool, the contents of the srcSpec file are ignored, although if provided
       the file must at least exist.

       For an "iscsi" or "iscsi-direct" pool, the minimal  expect  XML  required  is  the  <host>
       element  with  a "name" attribute describing the IP address or hostname to be used to find
       the pool (the iSCSI server address). Optionally, the "port"  attribute  may  be  provided,
       although  it  will  default  to 3260. Optionally, an <initiator> XML element with a "name"
       attribute may be provided to further restrict  the  iSCSI  target  search  to  a  specific
       initiator for multi-iqn iSCSI storage pools.

   find-pool-sources-as
       Syntax:

          find-storage-pool-sources-as type [host] [port] [initiator]

       Rather  than  providing  srcSpec  XML  file for find-storage-pool-sources use this command
       option in order to have virsh generate the query XML file using  the  optional  arguments.
       The command will return the same output XML as find-storage-pool-sources.

       Use host to describe a specific host to use for networked storage, such as netfs, gluster,
       and iscsi type pools.

       Use port to further restrict which  networked  port  to  utilize  for  the  connection  if
       required by the specific storage backend, such as iscsi.

       Use  initiator  to  further  restrict  the  iscsi  type  pool  searches to specific target
       initiators.

   pool-autostart
       Syntax:

          pool-autostart pool-or-uuid [--disable]

       Configure whether pool should automatically start at boot.

   pool-build
       Syntax:

          pool-build pool-or-uuid [--overwrite] [--no-overwrite]

       Build a given pool.

       Options --overwrite and --no-overwrite can only be used for pool-build a filesystem, disk,
       or logical pool.

       For a file system pool if neither flag is specified, then pool-build just makes the target
       path directory and no attempt to run mkfs on the target volume device.  If  --no-overwrite
       is  specified, it probes to determine if a filesystem already exists on the target device,
       returning an error if one exists or using mkfs to format the target  device  if  not.   If
       --overwrite  is  specified,  mkfs  is  always executed and any existing data on the target
       device is overwritten unconditionally.

       For a disk pool,  if  neither  of  them  is  specified  or  --no-overwrite  is  specified,
       pool-build  will  check  the  target  volume device for existing filesystems or partitions
       before attempting to write a new label on the target volume device. If the  target  volume
       device  already  has  a label, the command will fail. If --overwrite is specified, then no
       check will be made on the target volume device prior to writing a new  label.  Writing  of
       the label uses the pool source format type or "dos" if not specified.

       For  a  logical  pool,  if  neither  of  them is specified or --no-overwrite is specified,
       pool-build will check the target volume devices for  existing  filesystems  or  partitions
       before  attempting  to initialize and format each device for usage by the logical pool. If
       any target volume device already has a label, the command will  fail.  If  --overwrite  is
       specified,  then  no check will be made on the target volume devices prior to initializing
       and formatting each device. Once all the target volume devices are properly formatted  via
       pvcreate, the volume group will be created using all the devices.

   pool-create
       Syntax:

          pool-create file [--build] [[--overwrite] | [--no-overwrite]]

       Create and start a pool object from the XML file.

       [--build]  [[--overwrite] | [--no-overwrite]] perform a pool-build after creation in order
       to remove the need for a  follow-up  command  to  build  the  pool.  The  --overwrite  and
       --no-overwrite  flags  follow  the  same rules as pool-build. If just --build is provided,
       then pool-build is called with no flags.

   pool-create-as
       Syntax:

          pool-create-as name type
             [--source-host hostname] [--source-path path] [--source-dev path]
             [--source-name name] [--target path] [--source-format format]
             [--auth-type authtype --auth-username username
             [--secret-usage usage | --secret-uuid uuid]]
             [--source-protocol-ver ver]
             [[--adapter-name name] | [--adapter-wwnn wwnn --adapter-wwpn wwpn]
             [--adapter-parent parent |
             --adapter-parent-wwnn parent_wwnn adapter-parent-wwpn parent_wwpn |
             --adapter-parent-fabric-wwn parent_fabric_wwn]]
             [--build] [[--overwrite] | [--no-overwrite]] [--print-xml]

       Create and start a pool object name from the raw parameters.  If --print-xml is specified,
       then  print the XML of the pool object without creating the pool.  Otherwise, the pool has
       the specified type. When using pool-create-as for a pool  of  type  "disk",  the  existing
       partitions  found  on  the  --source-dev  path  will  be  used  to populate the disk pool.
       Therefore, it is suggested to use pool-define-as and pool-build with  the  --overwrite  in
       order to properly initialize the disk pool.

       [--source-host  hostname]  provides the source hostname for pools backed by storage from a
       remote server (pool types netfs, iscsi, rbd, sheepdog, gluster).

       [--source-path path] provides the source directory path for pools  backed  by  directories
       (pool type dir).

       [--source-dev  path]  provides  the source path for pools backed by physical devices (pool
       types fs, logical, disk, iscsi, zfs).

       [--source-name name] provides the source name for pools backed by  storage  from  a  named
       element (pool types logical, rbd, sheepdog, gluster).

       [--target path] is the path for the mapping of the storage pool into the host file system.

       [--source-format format] provides information about the format of the pool (pool types fs,
       netfs, disk, logical).

       [--auth-type authtype  --auth-username  username  [--secret-usage  usage  |  --secret-uuid
       uuid]]  provides  the  elements  required  to  generate authentication credentials for the
       storage pool. The authtype is either chap for iscsi type pools or ceph for rbd type pools.
       Either the secret usage or uuid value may be provided, but not both.

       [--source-protocol-ver  ver]  provides the NFS protocol version number used to contact the
       server's NFS service via nfs mount option 'nfsvers=n'. It is expect the ver  value  is  an
       unsigned integer.

       [--adapter-name  name]  defines  the  scsi_hostN adapter name to be used for the scsi_host
       adapter type pool.

       [--adapter-wwnn wwnn --adapter-wwpn wwpn [--adapter-parent parent |  --adapter-parent-wwnn
       parent_wwnn      adapter-parent-wwpn     parent_wwpn     |     --adapter-parent-fabric-wwn
       parent_fabric_wwn]] defines the wwnn and wwpn to be used  for  the  fc_host  adapter  type
       pool.  Optionally provide the parent scsi_hostN node device to be used for the vHBA either
       by parent name, parent_wwnn and parent_wwpn, or parent_fabric_wwn.  The parent name  could
       change  between  reboots if the hardware environment changes, so providing the parent_wwnn
       and parent_wwpn ensure usage of the same physical HBA even if the scsi_hostN  node  device
       changes.  Usage of the parent_fabric_wwn allows a bit more flexibility to choose an HBA on
       the same storage fabric in order to define the pool.

       [--build] [[--overwrite] | [--no-overwrite]] perform a pool-build after creation in  order
       to  remove  the  need  for  a  follow-up  command  to  build the pool. The --overwrite and
       --no-overwrite flags follow the same rules as pool-build. If  just  --build  is  provided,
       then pool-build is called with no flags.

       For  a  "logical" pool only [--name] needs to be provided. The [--source-name] if provided
       must match the Volume Group name.  If not  provided,  one  will  be  generated  using  the
       [--name]. If provided the [--target] is ignored and a target source is generated using the
       [--source-name] (or as generated from the [--name]).

   pool-define
       Syntax:

          pool-define file

       Define an inactive persistent storage pool or modify an existing persistent one  from  the
       XML file.

   pool-define-as
       Syntax:

          pool-define-as name type
             [--source-host hostname] [--source-path path] [--source-dev path]
             [*--source-name name*] [*--target path*] [*--source-format format*]
             [*--auth-type authtype* *--auth-username username*
             [*--secret-usage usage* | *--secret-uuid uuid*]]
             [*--source-protocol-ver ver*]
             [[*--adapter-name name*] | [*--adapter-wwnn* *--adapter-wwpn*]
             [*--adapter-parent parent*]] [*--print-xml*]

       Create,  but  do not start, a pool object name from the raw parameters.  If --print-xml is
       specified, then print the XML of the pool object without defining  the  pool.   Otherwise,
       the pool has the specified type.

       Use  the  same  arguments  as  pool-create-as,  except  for  the --build, --overwrite, and
       --no-overwrite options.

   pool-destroy
       Syntax:

          pool-destroy pool-or-uuid

       Destroy (stop) a given pool object. Libvirt will no longer manage the storage described by
       the  pool  object, but the raw data contained in the pool is not changed, and can be later
       recovered with pool-create.

   pool-delete
       Syntax:

          pool-delete pool-or-uuid

       Destroy the resources used by a given pool object. This operation is non-recoverable.  The
       pool  object  will  still  exist after this command, ready for the creation of new storage
       volumes.

   pool-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          pool-dumpxml [--inactive] pool-or-uuid

       Returns the XML information about the pool object.  --inactive tells virsh  to  dump  pool
       configuration  that  will be used on next start of the pool as opposed to the current pool
       configuration.

   pool-edit
       Syntax:

          pool-edit pool-or-uuid

       Edit the XML configuration file for a storage pool.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh pool-dumpxml pool > pool.xml
          vi pool.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh pool-define pool.xml

       except that it does some error checking.

       The editor used can be supplied by the  $VISUAL  or  $EDITOR  environment  variables,  and
       defaults to vi.

   pool-info
       Syntax:

          pool-info [--bytes] pool-or-uuid

       Returns  basic  information  about  the  pool object. If --bytes is specified the sizes of
       basic info are not converted to human friendly units.

   pool-list
       Syntax:

          pool-list [--inactive] [--all]
             [--persistent] [--transient]
             [--autostart] [--no-autostart]
             [[--details] [--uuid]
             [--name] [<type>]

       List pool objects known to libvirt.  By default, only active pools are listed;  --inactive
       lists just the inactive pools, and --all lists all pools.

       In  addition,  there  are  several  sets  of  filtering flags. --persistent is to list the
       persistent pools, --transient is to list  the  transient  pools.   --autostart  lists  the
       autostarting  pools,  --no-autostart lists the pools with autostarting disabled. If --uuid
       is specified only pool's UUIDs are printed.  If --name is specified only pool's names  are
       printed.  If  both --name and --uuid are specified, pool's UUID and names are printed side
       by side without any header. Option --details is mutually exclusive with options --uuid and
       --name.

       You  may  also  want to list pools with specified types using type, the pool types must be
       separated by comma, e.g. --type dir,disk.  The  valid  pool  types  include  'dir',  'fs',
       'netfs', 'logical', 'disk', 'iscsi', 'scsi', 'mpath', 'rbd', 'sheepdog', 'gluster', 'zfs',
       'vstorage' and 'iscsi-direct'.

       The --details option instructs virsh to additionally display pool persistence and capacity
       related information where available.

       NOTE:  When  talking to older servers, this command is forced to use a series of API calls
       with an inherent race, where a pool might not be listed or might appear more than once  if
       it  changed  state between calls while the list was being collected.  Newer servers do not
       have this problem.

   pool-name
       Syntax:

          pool-name uuid

       Convert the uuid to a pool name.

   pool-refresh
       Syntax:

          pool-refresh pool-or-uuid

       Refresh the list of volumes contained in pool.

   pool-start
       Syntax:

          pool-start pool-or-uuid [--build] [[--overwrite] | [--no-overwrite]]

       Start the storage pool, which is previously defined but inactive.

       [--build] [[--overwrite] | [--no-overwrite]] perform a pool-build prior to  pool-start  to
       ensure  the  pool environment is in an expected state rather than needing to run the build
       command prior to startup. The --overwrite and --no-overwrite flags follow the  same  rules
       as pool-build. If just --build is provided, then pool-build is called with no flags.

       Note: A storage pool that relies on remote resources such as an "iscsi" or a (v)HBA backed
       "scsi" pool may need to be refreshed multiple times in  order  to  have  all  the  volumes
       detected  (see pool-refresh).  This is because the corresponding volume devices may not be
       present in the host's filesystem during the initial pool startup or  the  current  refresh
       attempt.  The  number  of refresh retries is dependent upon the network connection and the
       time the host takes to export the corresponding devices.

   pool-undefine
       Syntax:

          pool-undefine pool-or-uuid

       Undefine the configuration for an inactive pool.

   pool-uuid
       Syntax:

          pool-uuid pool

       Returns the UUID of the named pool.

   pool-event
       Syntax:

          pool-event {[pool] event [--loop] [--timeout seconds] [--timestamp] | --list}

       Wait for a class of storage pool events to occur, and print appropriate details of  events
       as  they happen.  The events can optionally be filtered by pool.  Using --list as the only
       argument will provide a list of possible event values known by this client,  although  the
       connection might not allow registering for all these events.

       By  default,  this  command is one-shot, and returns success once an event occurs; you can
       send SIGINT (usually via Ctrl-C) to quit immediately.   If  --timeout  is  specified,  the
       command gives up waiting for events after seconds have elapsed.   With --loop, the command
       prints all events until a timeout or interrupt key.

       When --timestamp is used, a human-readable timestamp will be printed before the event.

VOLUME COMMANDS

   vol-create
       Syntax:

          vol-create pool-or-uuid FILE [--prealloc-metadata]

       Create a volume from an XML <file>.

       pool-or-uuid is the name or UUID of the storage pool to create the volume in.

       FILE is the XML <file> with the volume definition. An easy way to create the XML <file> is
       to use the vol-dumpxml command to obtain the definition of a pre-existing volume.

       [--prealloc-metadata]  preallocate  metadata  (for  qcow2  images which don't support full
       allocation). This option creates a sparse image file with metadata,  resulting  in  higher
       performance compared to images with no preallocation and only slightly higher initial disk
       space usage.

       Example:

          virsh vol-dumpxml --pool storagepool1 appvolume1 > newvolume.xml
          vi newvolume.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh vol-create differentstoragepool newvolume.xml

   vol-create-from
       Syntax:

          vol-create-from pool-or-uuid FILE vol-name-or-key-or-path
             [--inputpool pool-or-uuid]  [--prealloc-metadata] [--reflink]

       Create a volume, using another volume as input.

       pool-or-uuid is the name or UUID of the storage pool to create the volume in.

       FILE is the XML <file> with the volume definition.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path is the name or key or path of the source volume.

       --inputpool pool-or-uuid is the name or uuid of the storage pool the source volume is in.

       [--prealloc-metadata] preallocate metadata (for qcow2  images  which  don't  support  full
       allocation).  This  option  creates a sparse image file with metadata, resulting in higher
       performance compared to images with no preallocation and only slightly higher initial disk
       space usage.

       When  --reflink  is  specified,  perform a COW lightweight copy, where the data blocks are
       copied only when modified.  If this is not possible, the copy fails.

   vol-create-as
       Syntax:

          vol-create-as pool-or-uuid name capacity [--allocation size] [--format string]
             [--backing-vol vol-name-or-key-or-path]
             [--backing-vol-format string] [--prealloc-metadata] [--print-xml]

       Create a volume from a set of arguments unless --print-xml is  specified,  in  which  case
       just the XML of the volume object is printed out without any actual object creation.

       pool-or-uuid is the name or UUID of the storage pool to create the volume in.

       name is the name of the new volume. For a disk pool, this must match the partition name as
       determined from the pool's source device  path  and  the  next  available  partition.  For
       example,  a  source  device path of /dev/sdb and there are no partitions on the disk, then
       the name must be sdb1 with the next name being sdb2 and so on.

       capacity is the size of the volume to be created, as a scaled integer (see  NOTES  above),
       defaulting to bytes if there is no suffix.

       --allocation  size  is  the  initial  size to be allocated in the volume, also as a scaled
       integer defaulting to bytes.

       --format string is used in file based storage pools to specify the volume file  format  to
       use;  raw,  bochs, qcow, qcow2, vmdk, qed. Use extended for disk storage pools in order to
       create an extended partition (other values are validity checked  but  not  preserved  when
       libvirtd is restarted or the pool is refreshed).

       --backing-vol  vol-name-or-key-or-path is the source backing volume to be used if taking a
       snapshot of an existing volume.

       --backing-vol-format string is the format of the  snapshot  backing  volume;  raw,  bochs,
       qcow,  qcow2,  qed,  vmdk,  host_device.  These are, however, meant for file based storage
       pools.

       [--prealloc-metadata] preallocate metadata (for qcow2  images  which  don't  support  full
       allocation).  This  option  creates a sparse image file with metadata, resulting in higher
       performance compared to images with no preallocation and only slightly higher initial disk
       space usage.

   vol-clone
       Syntax:

          vol-clone vol-name-or-key-or-path name
             [--pool pool-or-uuid] [--prealloc-metadata] [--reflink]

       Clone  an  existing  volume  within  the  parent pool.  Less powerful, but easier to type,
       version of vol-create-from.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path is the name or key or path of the source volume.

       name is the name of the new volume.

       --pool pool-or-uuid is the name or UUID of the  storage  pool  that  contains  the  source
       volume  and will contain the new volume.  If the source volume name is provided instead of
       the key or path, then providing the pool is necessary to find the  volume  to  be  cloned;
       otherwise, the first volume found by the key or path will be used.

       [--prealloc-metadata]  preallocate  metadata  (for  qcow2  images which don't support full
       allocation). This option creates a sparse image file with metadata,  resulting  in  higher
       performance compared to images with no preallocation and only slightly higher initial disk
       space usage.

       When --reflink is specified, perform a COW lightweight copy, where  the  data  blocks  are
       copied only when modified.  If this is not possible, the copy fails.

   vol-delete
       Syntax:

          vol-delete vol-name-or-key-or-path [--pool pool-or-uuid] [--delete-snapshots]

       Delete a given volume.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path is the volume name or key or path of the volume to delete.

       [--pool  pool-or-uuid]  is  the  name or UUID of the storage pool the volume is in. If the
       volume name is provided instead of the key or path, then providing the pool  is  necessary
       to  find  the  volume  to be deleted; otherwise, the first volume found by the key or path
       will be used.

       The --delete-snapshots flag specifies that  any  snapshots  associated  with  the  storage
       volume  should  be deleted as well. Not all storage drivers support this option, presently
       only rbd.

   vol-upload
       Syntax:

          vol-upload vol-name-or-key-or-path local-file
             [--pool pool-or-uuid] [--offset bytes]
             [--length bytes] [--sparse]

       Upload the contents of local-file to a storage volume.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path is the name or key or path of the volume where the local-file will
       be uploaded.

       --pool  pool-or-uuid  is  the  name  or  UUID of the storage pool the volume is in. If the
       volume name is provided instead of the key or path, then providing the pool  is  necessary
       to  find  the  volume to be uploaded into; otherwise, the first volume found by the key or
       path will be used.

       --offset is the position in the storage volume at which to start  writing  the  data.  The
       value must be 0 or larger.

       --length  is  an  upper  bound  of the amount of data to be uploaded.  A negative value is
       interpreted as an unsigned long long value to  essentially  include  everything  from  the
       offset to the end of the volume.

       If --sparse is specified, this command will preserve volume sparseness.

       An error will occur if the local-file is greater than the specified length.

       See the description for the libvirt virStorageVolUpload API for details regarding possible
       target volume and pool changes as a  result  of  the  pool  refresh  when  the  upload  is
       attempted.

   vol-download
       Syntax:

          vol-download vol-name-or-key-or-path local-file
             [--pool pool-or-uuid] [--offset bytes] [--length bytes]
             [--sparse]

       Download the contents of a storage volume to local-file.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path  is  the  name  or  key  or  path  of  the volume to download into
       local-file.

       --pool pool-or-uuid is the name or UUID of the storage pool  the  volume  is  in.  If  the
       volume  name  is provided instead of the key or path, then providing the pool is necessary
       to find the volume to be uploaded into; otherwise, the first volume found by  the  key  or
       path will be used.

       --offset  is  the  position  in the storage volume at which to start reading the data. The
       value must be 0 or larger.

       --length is an upper bound of the amount of data to be downloaded.  A  negative  value  is
       interpreted  as  an  unsigned  long  long value to essentially include everything from the
       offset to the end of the volume.

       If --sparse is specified, this command will preserve volume sparseness.

   vol-wipe
       Syntax:

          vol-wipe vol-name-or-key-or-path [--pool pool-or-uuid] [--algorithm algorithm]

       Wipe a volume, ensure data previously on the volume is not accessible to future reads.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path is the name or key or path of the volume to wipe.  It is  possible
       to choose different wiping algorithms instead of re-writing volume with zeroes.

       --pool  pool-or-uuid  is  the  name  or  UUID of the storage pool the volume is in. If the
       volume name is provided instead of the key or path, then providing the pool  is  necessary
       to  find the volume to be wiped; otherwise, the first volume found by the key or path will
       be used.

       Use the --algorithm switch choosing from the list of the following algorithms in order  to
       define which algorithm to use for the wipe.

       Supported algorithms

       • zero       - 1-pass all zeroes

       • nnsa        -  4-pass NNSA Policy Letter NAP-14.1-C (XVI-8) for sanitizing removable and
         non-removable hard disks: random x2, 0x00, verify.

       • dod        - 4-pass DoD 5220.22-M section 8-306 procedure for sanitizing  removable  and
         non-removable rigid disks: random, 0x00, 0xff, verify.

       • bsi         -  9-pass method recommended by the German Center of Security in Information
         Technologies (http://www.bsi.bund.de): 0xff, 0xfe, 0xfd, 0xfb, 0xf7, 0xef,  0xdf,  0xbf,
         0x7f.

       • gutmann    - The canonical 35-pass sequence described in Gutmann's paper.

       • schneier   - 7-pass method described by Bruce Schneier in "Applied Cryptography" (1996):
         0x00, 0xff, random x5.

       • pfitzner7  - Roy Pfitzner's 7-random-pass method: random x7.

       • pfitzner33 - Roy Pfitzner's 33-random-pass method: random x33.

       • random     - 1-pass pattern: random.

       • trim       - 1-pass trimming the volume using TRIM or DISCARD

       Note: The scrub binary will be  used  to  handle  the  'nnsa',  'dod',  'bsi',  'gutmann',
       'schneier',  'pfitzner7'  and 'pfitzner33' algorithms.  The availability of the algorithms
       may be limited by the version of the scrub  binary  installed  on  the  host.  The  'zero'
       algorithm  will write zeroes to the entire volume. For some volumes, such as sparse or rbd
       volumes, this may result in completely filling the volume with zeroes making it appear  to
       be  completely  full.  As  an alternative, the 'trim' algorithm does not overwrite all the
       data in a volume, rather it expects the storage driver to be able to discard all bytes  in
       a  volume.  It  is  up  to the storage driver to handle how the discarding occurs. Not all
       storage drivers or volume types can support 'trim'.

   vol-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          vol-dumpxml vol-name-or-key-or-path [--pool pool-or-uuid]

       Output the volume information as an XML dump to stdout.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path is the name or key or path of the volume to output the XML.

       --pool pool-or-uuid is the name or UUID of the storage pool  the  volume  is  in.  If  the
       volume  name  is provided instead of the key or path, then providing the pool is necessary
       to find the volume to be uploaded into; otherwise, the first volume found by  the  key  or
       path will be used.

   vol-info
       Syntax:

          vol-info vol-name-or-key-or-path [--pool pool-or-uuid] [--bytes] [--physical]

       Returns basic information about the given storage volume.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path  is  the  name  or key or path of the volume to return information
       for.

       --pool pool-or-uuid is the name or UUID of the storage pool  the  volume  is  in.  If  the
       volume  name  is provided instead of the key or path, then providing the pool is necessary
       to find the volume to be uploaded into; otherwise, the first volume found by  the  key  or
       path will be used.

       If --bytes is specified the sizes are not converted to human friendly units.

       If  --physical is specified, then the host physical size is returned and displayed instead
       of the allocation value. The physical value for some file types, such as qcow2 may have  a
       different  (larger) physical value than is shown for allocation. Additionally sparse files
       will have different physical and allocation values.

   vol-list
       Syntax:

          vol-list [--pool pool-or-uuid] [--details]

       Return the list of volumes in the given storage pool.

       --pool pool-or-uuid is the name or UUID of the storage pool.

       The --details option instructs virsh to additionally  display  volume  type  and  capacity
       related information where available.

   vol-pool
       Syntax:

          vol-pool vol-key-or-path [--uuid]

       Return the pool name or UUID for a given volume. By default, the pool name is returned.

       vol-key-or-path is the key or path of the volume to return the pool information.

       If the --uuid option is given, the pool UUID is returned instead.

   vol-path
       Syntax:

          vol-path vol-name-or-key [--pool pool-or-uuid]

       Return the path for a given volume.

       vol-name-or-key is the name or key of the volume to return the path.

       --pool  pool-or-uuid  is  the  name  or  UUID of the storage pool the volume is in. If the
       volume name is provided instead of the key, then providing the pool is necessary  to  find
       the volume to be uploaded into; otherwise, the first volume found by the key will be used.

   vol-name
       Syntax:

          vol-name vol-key-or-path

       Return the name for a given volume.

       vol-key-or-path is the key or path of the volume to return the name.

   vol-key
       Syntax:

          vol-key vol-name-or-path [--pool pool-or-uuid]

       Return the volume key for a given volume.

       vol-name-or-path is the name or path of the volume to return the volume key.

       --pool  pool-or-uuid  is  the  name  or  UUID of the storage pool the volume is in. If the
       volume name is provided instead of the path, then providing the pool is necessary to  find
       the  volume  to  be  uploaded  into; otherwise, the first volume found by the path will be
       used.

   vol-resize
       Syntax:

          vol-resize vol-name-or-path capacity [--pool pool-or-uuid] [--allocate] [--delta] [--shrink]

       Resize the capacity of the given volume, in bytes.

       vol-name-or-key-or-path is the name or key or path of the volume to resize.

       capacity is a scaled integer (see NOTES above) for the volume, which defaults to bytes  if
       there is no suffix.

       --pool  pool-or-uuid  is  the  name  or  UUID of the storage pool the volume is in. If the
       volume name is provided instead of the key or path, then providing the pool  is  necessary
       to  find  the  volume to be uploaded into; otherwise, the first volume found by the key or
       path will be used.

       The new capacity might be sparse unless --allocate is specified.

       Normally, capacity is the new size, but if --delta is present, then it  is  added  to  the
       existing size.

       Attempts  to  shrink the volume will fail unless --shrink is present.  The capacity cannot
       be negative unless --shrink is provided, but a negative sign is not necessary.

       This command is only safe for storage volumes not in use by  an  active  guest;  see  also
       blockresize for live resizing.

SECRET COMMANDS

       The  following  commands  manipulate "secrets" (e.g. passwords, passphrases and encryption
       keys).  Libvirt can store secrets independently from their use, and  other  objects  (e.g.
       volumes  or  domains)  can  refer  to  the  secrets for encryption or possibly other uses.
       Secrets are  identified  using  a  UUID.   See  https://libvirt.org/formatsecret.html  for
       documentation of the XML format used to represent properties of secrets.

   secret-define
       Syntax:

          secret-define file

       Create  a  secret  with the properties specified in file, with no associated secret value.
       If file does not specify a UUID, choose one automatically.  If file specifies a UUID of an
       existing  secret,  replace its properties by properties defined in file, without affecting
       the secret value.

   secret-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          secret-dumpxml secret

       Output properties of secret (specified by its UUID) as an XML dump to stdout.

   secret-event
       Syntax:

          secret-event {[secret] event [--loop] [--timeout seconds] [--timestamp] | --list}

       Wait for a class of secret events to occur, and print appropriate  details  of  events  as
       they  happen.   The events can optionally be filtered by secret.  Using --list as the only
       argument will provide a list of possible event values known by this client,  although  the
       connection might not allow registering for all these events.

       By  default,  this  command is one-shot, and returns success once an event occurs; you can
       send SIGINT (usually via Ctrl-C) to quit immediately.   If  --timeout  is  specified,  the
       command gives up waiting for events after seconds have elapsed.   With --loop, the command
       prints all events until a timeout or interrupt key.

       When --timestamp is used, a human-readable timestamp will be printed before the event.

   secret-set-value
       Syntax:

          secret-set-value secret base64

       Set the value associated with secret (specified by its UUID) to the  value  Base64-encoded
       value base64.

   secret-get-value
       Syntax:

          secret-get-value secret

       Output  the  value associated with secret (specified by its UUID) to stdout, encoded using
       Base64.

   secret-undefine
       Syntax:

          secret-undefine secret

       Delete a secret (specified by its UUID), including the associated value, if any.

   secret-list
       Syntax:

          secret-list [--ephemeral] [--no-ephemeral]
             [--private] [--no-private]

       Returns the list of secrets.  You  may  also  want  to  filter  the  returned  secrets  by
       --ephemeral  to  list  the  ephemeral ones, --no-ephemeral to list the non-ephemeral ones,
       --private to list the private ones, and --no-private to list the non-private ones.

SNAPSHOT COMMANDS

       The following commands manipulate domain snapshots.  Snapshots take the disk, memory,  and
       device  state  of a domain at a point-of-time, and save it for future use.  They have many
       uses, from saving a "clean" copy of an OS image  to  saving  a  domain's  state  before  a
       potentially  destructive  operation.   Snapshots  are  identified with a unique name.  See
       https://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html for  documentation  of  the  XML  format  used  to
       represent properties of snapshots.

   snapshot-create
       Syntax:

          snapshot-create domain [xmlfile] {[--redefine [--current]] |
             [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only] [--reuse-external]
             [--quiesce] [--atomic] [--live]} [--validate]

       Create   a   snapshot  for  domain  domain  with  the  properties  specified  in  xmlfile.
       Optionally, the --validate option can be passed to validate the format of  the  input  XML
       file  against  an  internal RNG schema (identical to using the virt-xml-validate(1) tool).
       Normally, the  only  properties  settable  for  a  domain  snapshot  are  the  <name>  and
       <description> elements, as well as <disks> if --disk-only is given; the rest of the fields
       are ignored, and automatically filled in by libvirt.  If xmlfile  is  completely  omitted,
       then libvirt will choose a value for all fields.  The new snapshot will become current, as
       listed by snapshot-current.

       If --halt is specified, the domain will be left in an inactive state after the snapshot is
       created.

       If  --disk-only  is specified, the snapshot will only include disk content rather than the
       usual full system snapshot with vm state.  Disk snapshots are captured  faster  than  full
       system  snapshots,  but  reverting to a disk snapshot may require fsck or journal replays,
       since it is like the disk state at the point when the power cord is abruptly  pulled;  and
       mixing --halt and --disk-only loses any data that was not flushed to disk at the time.

       If  --redefine is specified, then all XML elements produced by snapshot-dumpxml are valid;
       this can be used to migrate snapshot hierarchy from one machine to  another,  to  recreate
       hierarchy  for  the  case of a transient domain that goes away and is later recreated with
       the same name and UUID, or to make slight alterations in the snapshot  metadata  (such  as
       host-specific  aspects  of  the  domain  XML embedded in the snapshot).  When this flag is
       supplied, the xmlfile argument is mandatory, and the domain's current snapshot will not be
       altered unless the --current flag is also given.

       If  --no-metadata  is  specified,  then  the snapshot data is created, but any metadata is
       immediately discarded (that is, libvirt does not treat the snapshot as current, and cannot
       revert to the snapshot unless --redefine is later used to teach libvirt about the metadata
       again).

       If --reuse-external is specified, and the snapshot XML requests an external snapshot  with
       a destination of an existing file, then the destination must exist and be pre-created with
       correct format and metadata. The file is then reused; otherwise, a snapshot is refused  to
       avoid losing contents of the existing files.

       If  --quiesce  is  specified,  libvirt  will try to use guest agent to freeze and unfreeze
       domain's mounted file systems. However, if domain has no guest  agent,  snapshot  creation
       will fail.  Currently, this requires --disk-only to be passed as well.

       If  --atomic  is  specified,  libvirt will guarantee that the snapshot either succeeds, or
       fails with no changes; not all hypervisors support this.  If this flag is  not  specified,
       then  some hypervisors may fail after partially performing the action, and dumpxml must be
       used to see whether any partial changes occurred.

       If --live is specified, libvirt takes the snapshot while the guest is running.  Both  disk
       snapshot and domain memory snapshot are taken. This increases the size of the memory image
       of the external snapshot. This is  currently  supported  only  for  full  system  external
       snapshots.

       Existence  of  snapshot  metadata  will  prevent attempts to undefine a persistent domain.
       However, for transient domains, snapshot metadata is silently lost when the  domain  quits
       running (whether by command such as destroy or by internal guest action).

       For now, it is not possible to create snapshots in a domain that has checkpoints, although
       this restriction will be lifted in a future release.

   snapshot-create-as
       Syntax:

          snapshot-create-as domain {[--print-xml] [--no-metadata]
             [--halt] [--reuse-external]} [name]
             [description] [--disk-only [--quiesce]] [--atomic]
             [[--live] [--memspec memspec]] [--diskspec] diskspec]...

       Create a snapshot for domain domain with the given <name>  and  <description>;  if  either
       value  is  omitted,  libvirt  will  choose a value.  If --print-xml is specified, then XML
       appropriate for snapshot-create is output,  rather  than  actually  creating  a  snapshot.
       Otherwise,  if --halt is specified, the domain will be left in an inactive state after the
       snapshot is created, and if --disk-only is specified, the snapshot  will  not  include  vm
       state.

       The  --memspec option can be used to control whether a full system snapshot is internal or
       external.   The  --memspec  flag  is  mandatory,  followed  by  a  memspec  of  the   form
       [file=]name[,snapshot=type],  where  type  can be no, internal, or external.  To include a
       literal comma in file=name, escape it with  a  second  comma.  --memspec  cannot  be  used
       together with --disk-only.

       The  --diskspec  option  can  be  used to control how --disk-only and external full system
       snapshots create external files.  This option can occur multiple times, according  to  the
       number   of  <disk>  elements  in  the  domain  xml.   Each  <diskspec>  is  in  the  form
       disk[,snapshot=type][,driver=type][,stype=type][,file=name].  A diskspec must be  provided
       for  disks  backed by block devices as libvirt doesn't auto-generate file names for those.
       The optional stype parameter allows to control the type  of  the  source  file.  Supported
       values  are  'file' (default) and 'block'. To exclude a disk from an external snapshot use
       --diskspec disk,snapshot=no.

       To include a literal comma in disk or in file=name, escape it  with  a  second  comma.   A
       literal  --diskspec  must  precede  each  diskspec  unless  all three of domain, name, and
       description     are     also     present.      For     example,     a     diskspec      of
       "vda,snapshot=external,file=/path/to,,new" results in the following XML:

          <disk name='vda' snapshot='external'>
            <source file='/path/to,new'/>
          </disk>

       If  --reuse-external  is  specified,  and  the  domain  XML or diskspec option requests an
       external snapshot with a destination of an existing file, then the destination must  exist
       and be pre-created with correct format and metadata. The file is then reused; otherwise, a
       snapshot is refused to avoid losing contents of the existing files.

       If --quiesce is specified, libvirt will try to use guest  agent  to  freeze  and  unfreeze
       domain's  mounted  file  systems. However, if domain has no guest agent, snapshot creation
       will fail.  Currently, this requires --disk-only to be passed as well.

       If --no-metadata is specified, then the snapshot data is  created,  but  any  metadata  is
       immediately discarded (that is, libvirt does not treat the snapshot as current, and cannot
       revert to the snapshot unless snapshot-create is later used to  teach  libvirt  about  the
       metadata again).

       If  --atomic  is  specified,  libvirt will guarantee that the snapshot either succeeds, or
       fails with no changes; not all hypervisors support this.  If this flag is  not  specified,
       then  some hypervisors may fail after partially performing the action, and dumpxml must be
       used to see whether any partial changes occurred.

       If --live is specified, libvirt takes the  snapshot  while  the  guest  is  running.  This
       increases  the  size  of  the  memory  image  of  the external snapshot. This is currently
       supported only for external full system snapshots.

       For now, it is not possible to create snapshots in a domain that has checkpoints, although
       this restriction will be lifted in a future release.

   snapshot-current
       Syntax:

          snapshot-current domain {[--name] | [--security-info] | [snapshotname]}

       Without  snapshotname, this will output the snapshot XML for the domain's current snapshot
       (if any).  If --name is specified, just the current snapshot name instead of the full xml.
       Otherwise,  using  --security-info will also include security sensitive information in the
       XML.

       With snapshotname, this is a request to  make  the  existing  named  snapshot  become  the
       current snapshot, without reverting the domain.

   snapshot-edit
       Syntax:

          snapshot-edit domain [snapshotname] [--current] {[--rename] | [--clone]}

       Edit  the  XML  configuration file for snapshotname of a domain.  If both snapshotname and
       --current are specified, also force the edited snapshot to become  the  current  snapshot.
       If snapshotname is omitted, then --current must be supplied, to edit the current snapshot.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh snapshot-dumpxml dom name > snapshot.xml
          vi snapshot.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh snapshot-create dom snapshot.xml --redefine [--current]

       except that it does some error checking.

       The  editor  used  can  be  supplied  by the $VISUAL or $EDITOR environment variables, and
       defaults to vi.

       If --rename is specified, then the edits can change the  snapshot  name.   If  --clone  is
       specified,  then  changing the snapshot name will create a clone of the snapshot metadata.
       If neither is specified, then the edits must not change  the  snapshot  name.   Note  that
       changing  a  snapshot  name  must be done with care, since the contents of some snapshots,
       such as internal snapshots within a single  qcow2  file,  are  accessible  only  from  the
       original name.

   snapshot-info
       Syntax:

          snapshot-info domain {snapshot | --current}

       Output basic information about a named <snapshot>, or the current snapshot with --current.

   snapshot-list
       Syntax:

          snapshot-list domain [--metadata] [--no-metadata]
             [{--parent | --roots | [{--tree | --name}]}] [--topological]
             [{[--from] snapshot | --current} [--descendants]]
             [--leaves] [--no-leaves] [--inactive] [--active]
             [--disk-only] [--internal] [--external]

       List  all  of the available snapshots for the given domain, defaulting to show columns for
       the snapshot name, creation time, and domain state.

       Normally, table form output is sorted by snapshot name; using --topological instead  sorts
       so  that  no  child  is  listed  before its ancestors (although there may be more than one
       possible ordering with this property).

       If --parent is specified, add a column to the output table giving the name of  the  parent
       of  each  snapshot.   If --roots is specified, the list will be filtered to just snapshots
       that have no parents.  If --tree is specified, the  output  will  be  in  a  tree  format,
       listing  just  snapshot  names.   These three options are mutually exclusive. If --name is
       specified only the snapshot name is  printed.  This  option  is  mutually  exclusive  with
       --tree.

       If  --from  is  provided,  filter  the  list  to snapshots which are children of the given
       snapshot; or if --current is provided, start  at  the  current  snapshot.   When  used  in
       isolation or with --parent, the list is limited to direct children unless --descendants is
       also present.  When used with --tree, the use of --descendants is implied.  This option is
       not  compatible  with --roots.  Note that the starting point of --from or --current is not
       included in the list unless the --tree option is also present.

       If --leaves is specified, the list will  be  filtered  to  just  snapshots  that  have  no
       children.   Likewise,  if  --no-leaves  is  specified,  the  list will be filtered to just
       snapshots with children.  (Note that  omitting  both  options  does  no  filtering,  while
       providing both options will either produce the same list or error out depending on whether
       the server recognizes the flags).  Filtering options are not compatible with --tree.

       If --metadata is specified, the list will be  filtered  to  just  snapshots  that  involve
       libvirt  metadata,  and  thus would prevent undefine of a persistent domain, or be lost on
       destroy of a transient domain.  Likewise, if --no-metadata is specified, the list will  be
       filtered to just snapshots that exist without the need for libvirt metadata.

       If  --inactive  is  specified, the list will be filtered to snapshots that were taken when
       the domain was shut off.  If --active is specified, the list will be filtered to snapshots
       that  were  taken  when the domain was running, and where the snapshot includes the memory
       state to revert to that running state.  If --disk-only is  specified,  the  list  will  be
       filtered  to snapshots that were taken when the domain was running, but where the snapshot
       includes only disk state.

       If --internal is specified, the list will be  filtered  to  snapshots  that  use  internal
       storage of existing disk images.  If --external is specified, the list will be filtered to
       snapshots that use external files for disk images or memory state.

   snapshot-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          snapshot-dumpxml domain snapshot [--security-info]

       Output the snapshot XML for the domain's snapshot named snapshot.   Using  --security-info
       will  also  include security sensitive information.  Use snapshot-current to easily access
       the XML of the current snapshot.

   snapshot-parent
       Syntax:

          snapshot-parent domain {snapshot | --current}

       Output the name of the parent snapshot, if any, for the given snapshot, or for the current
       snapshot with --current.

   snapshot-revert
       Syntax:

          snapshot-revert domain {snapshot | --current} [{--running | --paused}] [--force]

       Revert  the given domain to the snapshot specified by snapshot, or to the current snapshot
       with --current.  Be aware that this is a destructive action; any  changes  in  the  domain
       since  the  last  snapshot was taken will be lost.  Also note that the state of the domain
       after snapshot-revert is complete will be the state of the domain at the time the original
       snapshot was taken.

       Normally,  reverting  to  a snapshot leaves the domain in the state it was at the time the
       snapshot was created, except that a disk snapshot with no vm state leaves the domain in an
       inactive  state.   Passing  either  the --running or --paused flag will perform additional
       state changes (such as booting an inactive domain, or pausing a  running  domain).   Since
       transient  domains  cannot  be  inactive,  it  is  required to use one of these flags when
       reverting to a disk snapshot of a transient domain.

       There are a number of cases where a snapshot revert involves extra  risk,  which  requires
       the use of --force to proceed:

          • One  is  the  case  of  a  snapshot  that lacks full domain information for reverting
            configuration (such as snapshots created  prior  to  libvirt  0.9.5);  since  libvirt
            cannot  prove  that  the current configuration matches what was in use at the time of
            the snapshot, supplying --force assures libvirt that the snapshot is compatible  with
            the current configuration (and if it is not, the domain will likely fail to run).

          • Another is the case of reverting from a running domain to an active state where a new
            hypervisor has to be created rather than reusing the existing hypervisor, because  it
            implies  drawbacks  such  as  breaking  any  existing  VNC or Spice connections; this
            condition  happens  with  an  active  snapshot  that  uses  a  provably  incompatible
            configuration, as well as with an inactive snapshot that is combined with the --start
            or --pause flag.

          • Also, libvirt will refuse to restore snapshots of inactive QEMU domains  while  there
            is  managed  saved state. This is because those snapshots do not contain memory state
            and will therefore not replace the existing memory state. This ends  up  switching  a
            disk  underneath  a  running  system  and  will  likely  cause  extensive  filesystem
            corruption or crashes due to swap content mismatches when run.

   snapshot-delete
       Syntax:

          snapshot-delete domain {snapshot | --current}
             [--metadata] [{--children | --children-only}]

       Delete the snapshot for the domain named snapshot, or the current snapshot with --current.
       If  this  snapshot has child snapshots, changes from this snapshot will be merged into the
       children.  If --children is passed, then delete this snapshot and  any  children  of  this
       snapshot.   If  --children-only  is passed, then delete any children of this snapshot, but
       leave this snapshot intact.  These two flags are mutually exclusive.

       If --metadata is specified, then only delete the snapshot metadata maintained by  libvirt,
       while  leaving  the  snapshot  contents  intact  for  access  by external tools; otherwise
       deleting a snapshot also removes the data contents from that point in time.

CHECKPOINT COMMANDS

       The following commands manipulate domain checkpoints.  Checkpoints serve  as  a  point  in
       time to identify which portions of a guest's disks have changed after that time, making it
       possible to perform incremental and differential backups.  Checkpoints are identified with
       a unique name.  See https://libvirt.org/formatcheckpoint.html for documentation of the XML
       format used to represent properties of checkpoints.

   checkpoint-create
       Syntax:

          checkpoint-create domain [xmlfile] { --redefine | [--quiesce]}

       Create a checkpoint for domain domain with the properties specified in xmlfile  describing
       a <domaincheckpoint> top-level element. The format of the input XML file will be validated
       against an internal RNG schema (idential  to  using  the  virt-xml-validate(1)  tool).  If
       xmlfile  is completely omitted, then libvirt will create a checkpoint with a name based on
       the current time.

       If --redefine is specified, then all  XML  elements  produced  by  checkpoint-dumpxml  are
       valid;  this  can  be used to migrate checkpoint hierarchy from one machine to another, to
       recreate hierarchy for the case of  a  transient  domain  that  goes  away  and  is  later
       recreated  with  the  same  name and UUID, or to make slight alterations in the checkpoint
       metadata (such as host-specific aspects of the domain XML  embedded  in  the  checkpoint).
       When this flag is supplied, the xmlfile argument is mandatory.

       If  --quiesce  is  specified,  libvirt  will try to use guest agent to freeze and unfreeze
       domain's mounted file systems. However, if domain has no guest agent, checkpoint  creation
       will fail.

       Existence  of  checkpoint  metadata will prevent attempts to undefine a persistent domain.
       However, for transient domains, checkpoint metadata is silently lost when the domain quits
       running (whether by command such as destroy or by internal guest action).

       For now, it is not possible to create checkpoints in a domain that has snapshots, although
       this restriction will be lifted in a future release.

   checkpoint-create-as
       Syntax:

          checkpoint-create-as domain [--print-xml] [name]
             [description] [--quiesce] [--diskspec] diskspec]...

       Create a checkpoint for domain domain with the given <name> and <description>;  if  either
       value  is  omitted,  libvirt  will  choose a value.  If --print-xml is specified, then XML
       appropriate for checkpoint-create is output, rather than actually creating a checkpoint.

       The --diskspec option can be  used  to  control  which  guest  disks  participate  in  the
       checkpoint.  This  option  can  occur  multiple  times,  according to the number of <disk>
       elements    in    the    domain    xml.     Each    <diskspec>    is    in    the     form
       disk[,checkpoint=type][,bitmap=name].  A  literal  --diskspec  must  precede each diskspec
       unless all three of domain, name, and  description  are  also  present.   For  example,  a
       diskspec of "vda,checkpoint=bitmap,bitmap=map1" results in the following XML:

          <disk name='vda' checkpoint='bitmap' bitmap='map1'/>

       If  --quiesce  is  specified,  libvirt  will try to use guest agent to freeze and unfreeze
       domain's mounted file systems. However, if domain has no guest agent, checkpoint  creation
       will fail.

       For now, it is not possible to create checkpoints in a domain that has snapshots, although
       this restriction will be lifted in a future release.

   checkpoint-edit
       Syntax:

          checkpoint-edit domain checkpointname

       Edit the XML configuration file for checkpointname of a domain.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh checkpoint-dumpxml dom name > checkpoint.xml
          vi checkpoint.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh checkpoint-create dom checkpoint.xml --redefine

       except that it does some error checking, including that the edits should  not  attempt  to
       change the checkpoint name.

       The  editor  used  can  be  supplied  by the $VISUAL or $EDITOR environment variables, and
       defaults to vi.

   checkpoint-info
       Syntax:

          checkpoint-info domain checkpoint

       Output basic information about a named <checkpoint>.

   checkpoint-list
       Syntax:

          checkpoint-list domain [{--parent | --roots |
             [{--tree | --name}]}] [--topological]
             [[--from] checkpoint | [--descendants]]
             [--leaves] [--no-leaves]

       List all of the available checkpoints for the given domain, defaulting to show columns for
       the checkpoint name and creation time.

       Normally,  table  form  output  is  sorted by checkpoint name; using --topological instead
       sorts so that no child is listed before its ancestors (although there may be more than one
       possible ordering with this property).

       If  --parent  is specified, add a column to the output table giving the name of the parent
       of each checkpoint.   If  --roots  is  specified,  the  list  will  be  filtered  to  just
       checkpoints  that  have  no parents.  If --tree is specified, the output will be in a tree
       format, listing just checkpoint names.  These three options  are  mutually  exclusive.  If
       --name is specified only the checkpoint name is printed. This option is mutually exclusive
       with --tree.

       If --from is provided, filter the list to checkpoints which  are  children  of  the  given
       checkpoint.   When  used  in  isolation  or  with  --parent, the list is limited to direct
       children unless --descendants is  also  present.   When  used  with  --tree,  the  use  of
       --descendants  is  implied.   This  option  is not compatible with --roots.  Note that the
       starting point of --from is not included in the list unless  the  --tree  option  is  also
       present.

       If  --leaves  is  specified,  the  list  will be filtered to just checkpoints that have no
       children.  Likewise, if --no-leaves is specified,  the  list  will  be  filtered  to  just
       checkpoints  with  children.   (Note  that  omitting both options does no filtering, while
       providing both options will either produce the same list or error out depending on whether
       the server recognizes the flags).  Filtering options are not compatible with --tree.

   checkpoint-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          checkpoint-dumpxml domain checkpoint [--security-info] [--no-domain] [--size]

       Output   the   checkpoint  XML  for  the  domain's  checkpoint  named  checkpoint.   Using
       --security-info will also include security sensitive information.  Using --size  will  add
       XML  indicating  the  current  size  in  bytes  of  guest  data that has changed since the
       checkpoint was created (although remember that guest activity between  a  size  check  and
       actually  creating  a backup can result in the backup needing slightly more space).  Using
       --no-domain will omit the <domain> element from the output for a more compact view.

   checkpoint-parent
       Syntax:

          checkpoint-parent domain checkpoint

       Output the name of the parent checkpoint, if any, for the given checkpoint.

   checkpoint
       Syntax:

          checkpoint-delete domain checkpoint
             [--metadata] [{--children | --children-only}]

       Delete the checkpoint for the domain named checkpoint.  The record of  which  portions  of
       the  disk  changed since the checkpoint are merged into the parent checkpoint (if any). If
       --children is passed, then delete this checkpoint and any children of this checkpoint.  If
       --children-only  is  passed,  then  delete any children of this checkpoint, but leave this
       checkpoint intact. These two flags are mutually exclusive.

       If --metadata is specified,  then  only  delete  the  checkpoint  metadata  maintained  by
       libvirt,  while  leaving  the  checkpoint  contents  intact  for access by external tools;
       otherwise deleting a checkpoint also removes the ability to perform an incremental  backup
       from that point in time.

NWFILTER COMMANDS

       The  following commands manipulate network filters. Network filters allow filtering of the
       network traffic coming from and going to virtual  machines.   Individual  network  traffic
       filters  are  written in XML and may contain references to other network filters, describe
       traffic filtering rules, or contain  both.  Network  filters  are  referenced  by  virtual
       machines  from  within  their interface description. A network filter may be referenced by
       multiple virtual machines' interfaces.

   nwfilter-define
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-define xmlfile

       Make a new network filter known to libvirt. If a network filter with the same name already
       exists,  it  will  be  replaced with the new XML.  Any running virtual machine referencing
       this network filter will have its network traffic rules adapted. If  for  any  reason  the
       network  traffic  filtering  rules  cannot  be  instantiated by any of the running virtual
       machines, then the new XML will be rejected.

   nwfilter-undefine
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-undefine nwfilter-name

       Delete a network filter. The  deletion  will  fail  if  any  running  virtual  machine  is
       currently using this network filter.

   nwfilter-list
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-list

       List all of the available network filters.

   nwfilter-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-dumpxml nwfilter-name

       Output the network filter XML.

   nwfilter-edit
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-edit nwfilter-name

       Edit the XML of a network filter.

       This is equivalent to:

          virsh nwfilter-dumpxml myfilter > myfilter.xml
          vi myfilter.xml (or make changes with your other text editor)
          virsh nwfilter-define myfilter.xml

       except  that  it  does some error checking.  The new network filter may be rejected due to
       the same reason as mentioned in nwfilter-define.

       The editor used can be supplied by the  $VISUAL  or  $EDITOR  environment  variables,  and
       defaults to vi.

NWFILTER BINDING COMMANDS

       The  following  commands manipulate network filter bindings. Network filter bindings track
       the association between a network port and a network filter. Generally  the  bindings  are
       managed automatically by the hypervisor drivers when adding/removing NICs on a guest.

       If  an  admin  is  creating/deleting TAP devices for non-guest usage, however, the network
       filter binding commands provide a way to make use of the network filters directly.

   nwfilter-binding-create
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-binding-create xmlfile

       Associate a  network  port  with  a  network  filter.  The  network  filter  backend  will
       immediately  attempt to instantiate the filter rules on the port. This command may be used
       to associate a filter with a currently running guest that does not have a  filter  defined
       for a specific network port. Since the bindings are generally automatically managed by the
       hypervisor, using this command to define a filter for a network port and then starting the
       guest  afterwards  may  prevent  the guest from starting if it attempts to use the network
       port and finds a filter already defined.

   nwfilter-binding-delete
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-binding-delete port-name

       Disassociate a network port from  a  network  filter.  The  network  filter  backend  will
       immediately tear down the filter rules that exist on the port. This command may be used to
       remove the network port binding for a filter currently in use  for  the  guest  while  the
       guest  is running without needing to restart the guest. Restoring the network port binding
       filter for the running guest would be accomplished by using nwfilter-binding-create.

   nwfilter-binding-list
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-binding-list

       List all of the network ports which have filters associated with them.

   nwfilter-binding-dumpxml
       Syntax:

          nwfilter-binding-dumpxml port-name

       Output the network filter binding XML for the network device called port-name.

HYPERVISOR-SPECIFIC COMMANDS

       NOTE: Use of the following commands is strongly discouraged.  They can  cause  libvirt  to
       become confused and do the wrong thing on subsequent operations.  Once you have used these
       commands, please do not report problems to the libvirt developers;  the  reports  will  be
       ignored.   If  you find that these commands are the only way to accomplish something, then
       it is better to request that the feature be added as a first-class citizen in the  regular
       libvirt library.

   qemu-attach
       Syntax:

          qemu-attach pid

       Attach  an  externally launched QEMU process to the libvirt QEMU driver.  The QEMU process
       must have been created with a monitor  connection  using  the  UNIX  driver.  Ideally  the
       process will also have had the '-name' argument specified.

          $ qemu-kvm -cdrom ~/demo.iso \
              -monitor unix:/tmp/demo,server,nowait \
              -name foo \
              -uuid cece4f9f-dff0-575d-0e8e-01fe380f12ea  &
          $ QEMUPID=$!
          $ virsh qemu-attach $QEMUPID

       Not  all  functions  of  libvirt  are  expected  to  work  reliably  after attaching to an
       externally launched QEMU process. There may be issues with the  guest  ABI  changing  upon
       migration and device hotplug or hotunplug may not work. The attached environment should be
       considered primarily read-only.

   qemu-monitor-command
       Syntax:

          qemu-monitor-command domain { [--hmp] | [--pretty] } command...

       Send an arbitrary monitor command command to domain domain through the QEMU monitor.   The
       results  of  the  command  will  be printed on stdout.  If --hmp is passed, the command is
       considered to be a human monitor command and libvirt will automatically  convert  it  into
       QMP if needed.  In that case the result will also be converted back from QMP.  If --pretty
       is given, and the monitor uses QMP, then the output will be pretty-printed.  If more  than
       one argument is provided for command, they are concatenated with a space in between before
       passing the single command to the monitor.

   qemu-agent-command
       Syntax:

          qemu-agent-command domain [--timeout seconds | --async | --block] command...

       Send an arbitrary guest agent  command  command  to  domain  domain  through  QEMU  agent.
       --timeout,  --async and --block options are exclusive.  --timeout requires timeout seconds
       seconds and it must be positive.  When --aysnc is given, the  command  waits  for  timeout
       whether  success  or  failed.  And  when  --block is given, the command waits forever with
       blocking timeout.

   qemu-monitor-event
       Syntax:

          qemu-monitor-event [domain] [--event event-name]
            [--loop] [--timeout seconds] [--pretty] [--regex] [--no-case]
            [--timestamp]

       Wait for arbitrary QEMU monitor events to occur, and print out the details  of  events  as
       they  happen.   The  events  can  optionally  be  filtered  by  domain or event-name.  The
       'query-events' QMP command can be used via qemu-monitor-command to learn what  events  are
       supported.   If  --regex  is  used,  event-name is a basic regular expression instead of a
       literal string.  If --no-case is used, event-name will match case-insensitively.

       By default, this command is one-shot, and returns success once an event  occurs;  you  can
       send  SIGINT  (usually  via  Ctrl-C)  to quit immediately.  If --timeout is specified, the
       command gives up waiting for events after seconds have elapsed.  With --loop, the  command
       prints  all  events  until a timeout or interrupt key.  If --pretty is specified, any JSON
       event details are pretty-printed for better legibility.

       When --timestamp is used, a human-readable timestamp will be printed before the event, and
       the timing information provided by QEMU will be omitted.

   lxc-enter-namespace
       Syntax:

          lxc-enter-namespace domain [--noseclabel] --
             /path/to/binary [arg1, [arg2, ...]]

       Enter  the  namespace  of  domain  and  execute  the  command  /path/to/binary passing the
       requested args. The binary path is relative to the container root filesystem, not the host
       root  filesystem.  The  binary will inherit the environment variables / console visible to
       virsh. The command will be run with the  same  sVirt  context  and  cgroups  placement  as
       processes  within  the  container.  This  command  only  works  when  connected to the LXC
       hypervisor driver.  This command succeeds only if /path/to/binary has 0 exit status.

       By default the new process will run with the security label of the new  parent  container.
       Use  the  --noseclabel  option to instead have the process keep the same security label as
       virsh.

ENVIRONMENT

       The following environment variables can be set to alter the behaviour of virsh

       • VIRSH_DEBUG=<0 to 4>

         Turn on verbose debugging of virsh commands. Valid levels are

         • VIRSH_DEBUG=0

           DEBUG - Messages at ALL levels get logged

         • VIRSH_DEBUG=1

           INFO - Logs messages at levels INFO, NOTICE, WARNING and ERROR

         • VIRSH_DEBUG=2

           NOTICE - Logs messages at levels NOTICE, WARNING and ERROR

         • VIRSH_DEBUG=3

           WARNING - Logs messages at levels WARNING and ERROR

         • VIRSH_DEBUG=4

           ERROR - Messages at only ERROR level gets logged.

       • VIRSH_LOG_FILE=``LOGFILE``

         The file to log virsh debug messages.

       • VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI

         The hypervisor to connect to by default. Set this to  a  URI,  in  the  same  format  as
         accepted by the connect option. This environment variable is deprecated in favour of the
         global LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI variable which serves the same purpose.

       • LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI

         The hypervisor to connect to by default. Set this to  a  URI,  in  the  same  format  as
         accepted  by the connect option. This overrides the default URI set in any client config
         file and prevents libvirt from probing for drivers.

       • VISUAL

         The editor to use by the edit and related options.

       • EDITOR

         The editor to use by the edit and related options, if VISUAL is not set.

       • VIRSH_HISTSIZE

         The number of commands to remember in the command  history.  The default value is 500.

       • LIBVIRT_DEBUG=LEVEL

         Turn on verbose debugging of all libvirt API calls. Valid levels are

         • LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1

           Messages at level DEBUG or above

         • LIBVIRT_DEBUG=2

           Messages at level INFO or above

         • LIBVIRT_DEBUG=3

           Messages at level WARNING or above

         • LIBVIRT_DEBUG=4

           Messages at level ERROR
