I am trying something similar to http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/QEMUSwitchToLibvirt#-s . This is my xml file :
<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> <name>rubis_ws</name> <uuid>1a474ca9-604f-aceb-2fed-792fe1e9f900</uuid> <memory>1048576</memory> <currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory> <vcpu>2</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='rhel5.4.0'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/> <source file='/root/incremental.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='ide' index='0'/> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:16:3e:98:78:04'/> <source bridge='br0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </console> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> </video> </devices> <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-s'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> I start the VM from this xml file. Now When I do "ps aux | grep rubis" , I get :
root 13496 59.1 3.5 1266168 292112 ? Sl 16:50 0:23 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -S -M rhel5.4.0 -m 1024 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -name rubis_ws -uuid 1a474ca9-604f-aceb-2fed-792fe1e9f900 -monitor unix:/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/rubis_ws.monitor,server,nowait -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -boot c -drive file=/root/incremental.img,if=ide,bus=0,unit=0,boot=on,format=qcow2,cache=none -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:98:78:04,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=18,vlan=0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k en-us -vga cirrus -balloon virtio
root 13531 0.0 0.0 61192 760 pts/5 S+ 16:51 0:00 grep rubis
I cannot find the -s in that command . Can you please let me know whether I am making any mistake. I have been stuck with this for a long time without knowing how to solve it. My ultimate aim is to make this command argument work and use it for -incoming tag using qemu command line argument with libvirt.
Thanks for your help.
