[forwarding this here from RH bug #796732] When creating a network (virsh net-create) with an erroneous XML containing an empty <name> element, the error message is misleading: error: Failed to create network from foo.xml error: missing domain name information It took me a bit of time to figure out that it was the *network* name that was missing (I generate this xml and didn't look at it, first). I realized that the same message is used for missing name when creating a domain, network, or device node.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
