[libvirt-users] access VMX config on esxi with virsh

[frank dirks]

Hi Mathias,

thank you very much - which part of the doku did i miss so i didn't know about the web-access to the vmx files?

which command gives me the domain xml? dumpxml gives me an error message (expecting an assignment) - the other xml command need the vmx file i guess ...

btw: do you think libvirt is an option for backup tasks around esxi virtual machines? or do you know another suitable tool?

regards, frank
