<p>Hello--</p>
<p>I'm planning on upgrading the OS on my host machine by doing
manual re-installation, which will trigger an upgrade of libvirt
from 1.1.3 to 6.1.0. Hardware, storage volumes & paths, etc.,
will be the same after upgrade. <br>
</p>
<p>I was going to redefine & start everything from .xml files,
starting with the network<br>
</p>
<p> virsh net-define <network XML><br>
virsh net-autostart <network><br>
virsh net-start <network></p>
<p>and following with all the guests<br>
</p>
<p> virsh define <domain XML><br>
virsh autostart <domain><br>
virsh start <domain></p>
I have the following questions:
<ol>
<li>Do I need to generate XML dumps manually, or is it ok to use
the ones from host's /etc/libvirt? <br>
</li>
<li>Do I need to define & start storage pools & volumes
explicitly, or will they be picked up from domain definitions? <br>
</li>
<li>Anything else I should worry about or prepare ahead? <br>
</li>
</ol>
