That could work, I had some trouble with the shared disk before, I don’t think I ever got it to work. I’ll have to check my notes. IT has the host machine locked down very securely in some ways, and sometimes that causes trouble. <div><br> </div> <div>2. I did specify the settings in virt-manager and I can use virsh. But sometimes I get an error from libvirt when doing a series of savevm and loadvm in a row. I have a hope that using qemu-kvm without libvirt might make it more reliable. But as I said, I’m having trouble getting the networking and display working properly without libvirt. </div> </div> <span id="draft-break"></span><br> <br> ---<br> Sent from <a href="https://whatisworkspaceone.com/boxer">Workspace ONE Boxer</a><span id="draft-break"></span><br> <br> <div> <div class="null" dir="auto">On September 7, 2021 at 10:58:03 PM PDT, Tony Brian Albers <tba@kb.dk> wrote:<br class="null"> </div> <blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;" class="null"> <div class="null" dir="auto"> <div class="null"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Exchange Server" class="null">  <div class="null"><font size="2" class="null"><span style="font-size:11pt;" class="null"> <div class="null">On 08/09/2021 06.22, Leek, Jim wrote:<br class="null"> <br class="null"> > <br class="null"> > 1.
