[libvirt-users] libvirt/virsh change boot order

[Robb Walker]

Hello, hope all are well.


Am I missing something?

If I add a cdrom and change boot order in a running vm with virsh edit, I have to shutdown the vm and restart to see the change in boot order. I can not just restart the vm via reboot inside the vm or virsh reboot vm. I don't see anything under /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/saved where I might expect conflict if I was battling against a saved configuration. If obvious, DUH, apologies and virtually bonk me on the head.


Note: This is actually okay. Just don't want to miss on something that would allow me to just cycle the vm after make changes.
