[libvirt-users] VM destroy faiing in 1.0.1

[Chandrashekhar Jamadarkhani (cjamadar)]

Hi Eric,

Thanks Eric for looking in to this.

I'm not saying vm_destroy is broken.  I'm handling the failure  of vm_destroy. For the same VM, vm destroy is going  through in the older libvirt version(0.8.7) and why it is always failing in the latest version of libvirt ? 
anything wrong in my environment ?

host:~]$ virsh version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.7
Using library: libvir 0.8.7
Using API: QEMU 0.8.7
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.13.0

[host:~]$

Thanks,
CJ

You must ALWAYS be prepared for commands to fail because the guest has changed states on its own.  Any guest can turn itself off before your destroy request; this does not mean that destroy is broken.

Latest libvirt is 1.1.0, not 1.0.1.
