[libvirt] starting vm using virsh somewhat fails

[Ricardo Tiago]

Hi all,


I have started a vm using virsh create domain.xml and it starts for a
second and then its destroyed automatically. When I do xm create -f
<xm cfg> it works fine.

I don't know if this is relevant but

virsh net-list --all
Name                 State      Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default              inactive   yes

virsh net-start default
error: Failed to start network default
error: Failed to open file '/etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall': No
such file or directory

Can this be the problem? Why do I need /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall?
