I hacked up a patch to quote the comma and qemu still rejects it
virsh start "foo,bar"
error: Failed to start domain foo,bar
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor:
qemu-kvm: -name foo,,bar: invalid option
I should have first tried invoking qemu directly instead of fiddling
with a patch
qemu-kvm -name foo,,bar
Unknown subargument ,bar to -name
This is with 1.4 rc1 btw.
Regards,
Jim
